Numina Group joins forces with Waypoint Robotics to launch Innovative Autonomous Batch Cart Order Fulfillment Solution

Leave a comment


RDS Batch-Bot

Numina Group’s RDS™ Warehouse Execution and Control Software Suite now includes a new Batch Bot Module to optimize, manage and track (AMR) activities, explains Numina Group CEO Dan Hanrahan.


Woodridge, IL (PRWEB)

Numina Group and Waypoint Robotics have teamed up to create a powerful autonomous batch order automated order picking solution. Numina Group’s Real-time Distribution Software, RDS™ Batch Bot Voice Picking Application integrates with Waypoint Robotics’ Vector Autonomous Mobile Robot, (AMR) to provide an innovative, highly efficient order picking solution. The RDS™ automation module uses pick by voice commands to direct operator zone movement and picking tasks while coordinating the Waypoint Vector AMR batch cart movement throughout the distribution center (DC). The AMRs, using the Kingpin technology, efficiently pick-up and move carts with heavy and/or large quantities of orders, allowing the operators to focus on the high value order picking duties. The Vector AMR Kingpin connects and drops carts quickly, resulting in higher hourly throughput per cart, and a more efficient pick, pack, and ship operation.

The solution simultaneously coordinates both the Waypoint AMR and order picking to eliminate wasted operator walk time and fatigue caused by manually pushing carts with up to 600 pounds of products throughout the DC. RDS™ directs the Vector AMR with Kingpin pick and drop technology, so the pick carts automatically move to each shelf or rack location. At pick completion RDS™ directs the AMR to transport the finished carts to packing workstations. Vector combined with the RDS™ Batch Bot solution provides higher order fulfillment efficiency, reducing labor costs by 40% or more compared to a manual cart picking process.

“Numina Group’s RDS™ Warehouse Execution and Control Software Suite now includes a new Batch Bot Module to optimize, manage and track (AMR) activities,” explains Numina Group CEO Dan Hanrahan. “The new software module extends the capabilities of our RDS™ Pick by Voice picking application so both the workers and the autonomous batch cart movements are coordinated throughout pick and pack. The Batch Bot module includes order release and prioritization, cartonization pick to carton, put to light order consolidation, and labor and order tracking performance metrics reporting.”

“Waypoint’s Kingpin is the first of its kind dual-use module that enables Vector and MAV3K AMRs to automatically load and unload payloads as well as hitch and transport carts of all sizes,” says Waypoint Robotics CEO, Jason Walker. “Now you don’t have to dedicate a robot for one task or another, with Kingpin you can do both. This combined with Numina Groups RDS order fulfillment automation suite creates a powerful but easy to use solution to improve worker productivity and safety by reducing the heavy lifting.”

This project has already produced significant advancements in how senior and family care services can be delivered with today’s best technology and research”, said Gene Wang, CEO


PALO ALTO, Calif. (PRWEB)

People Power, a leading healthtech software company providing AI-powered services for senior care, announces today the availability of a caregiving system – Presence Caregiver – designed to address the everyday challenges of providing care for people with Alzheimer’s and other dementias. The free program is offered to caregivers living with a person who has received a diagnosis of dementia or mild cognitive impairment. Participating caregivers must be literate in English, have a smartphone and wireless internet connectivity in the home, and be willing to participate in intermittent study activities. Participants will receive the Presence Caregiver Research Pack and mobile app at no cost, a free Amazon Echo upon installation of the system, and each caregiver will earn at least $150 for completing quick-and-easy questionnaires.

Key findings from the collaborative study will reveal how an intelligent connected solution can be designed to assist in the effort of delivering better care for people with dementia while addressing all-too-common feelings of isolation, stress and loneliness of caregivers. The program is led by People Power and University California Berkeley’s Psychophysiology Laboratory, headed by Dr. Robert W. Levenson.

ServiceMaster DSI Helps with the Coronavirus Outbreak

Leave a comment



CHICAGO (PRWEB)

ServiceMaster DSI, the nation’s largest owner and operator of ServiceMaster Franchises has increased efforts to assist with the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) outbreak. With new cases of coronavirus infection being reported daily and the impact being felt across the globe, ServiceMaster DSI has committed their own resources to further the education, communication and treatment of facilities possibly impacted by or preparing for COVID-19.

Concentrating on the treatment and decontamination of facilities and buildings, the experts at ServiceMaster DSI have identified several disinfection procedures and systems to help provide the most effective results available. Researching and testing various decontamination methods is something ServiceMaster DSI does continuously, however special precautions need to be taken in extreme situations such as the COVID-19 outbreak.

Complicating the task of proper decontamination and disinfection is the fact that information about COVID-19 is scarce and changes regularly. ServiceMaster DSI has committed resources to monitor changes and developments from respected sources such as the World Health Organization (WHO) and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as well as communicate regularly with clients, field personnel and other ServiceMaster network partners. This constant research, education and communication provide ServiceMaster DSI with valuable information not only about the virus itself, but the reaction of people and businesses related to news reports and potential challenges with decontamination.

“Through our ServiceMaster DSI and SRM brands, we have clients and relationships across the country as well as internationally. It is our duty to stay ahead of any aspect that may negatively impact our clients’ businesses including the Coronavirus outbreak. We have committed our own resources including personnel, equipment and funds for aspects such as educational opportunities and client coordination to make sure we are best prepared to help any way we can.” Jim Boccher – President and CEO ServiceMaster DSI / SRM

In addition, ServiceMaster DSI has brought industry experts such as industrial hygienists and disease control professionals into their offices to collaborate on various topics surrounding the COVID-19 outbreak and possible decontamination methods. With so many businesses and facilities under the threat of being impacted by the Coronavirus these developments and proactive measures may prove critical in the coming days and weeks.

DSI Holdings is an ownership/management group headquartered in Downers Grove, IL specializing in providing residential and commercial disaster restoration services through the ServiceMaster DSI and ServiceMaster Recovery Management (SRM) brands. Starting with its first ServiceMaster license in 1981, DSI Holdings has grown to be the premier ownership group within the ServiceMaster network, amassing 87 licenses within the United States and serving as the flagship SRM operator. Through these brands, DSI services clients in all 50 states and its large loss team has provided commercial disaster restoration services in more than 20 countries around the world.

The Quinism Foundation and Veterans for Common Sense Call on Congress to Fund Research into Chronic Quinoline Encephalopathy

Leave a comment



WHITE RIVER JUNCTION, Vt. (PRWEB)

The Quinism Foundation and Veterans for Common Sense are calling on Congress to fund critical research into the chronic adverse neurological and psychiatric effects of mefloquine and related quinoline antimalarial drugs, following release of a report by an ad hoc committee of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM). The NASEM committee was charged by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs with looking at “long-term health effects” of antimalarial medication, with “special attention” “to possible long-term neurologic effects,” and “long-term psychiatric effects.” [1]

On February 25, 2020, the NASEM committee publicly released its final report. It observed a “disconnect between the level of concern raised–millions of people have used the drugs, and there are many known concurrent events and case reports of adverse events–and the systematic research that has been conducted, particularly in areas such as the use of mefloquine and persistent neurological or psychiatric outcomes.” The committee found “there is a sharp contrast between the abundant amount of literature pertaining to concurrent adverse events that are experienced while a drug is being used or shortly following its cessation and the dearth of information, especially high-quality information, pertaining to adverse experiences after the use of that drug has ended.” [1]

“To address the critical research needs identified by NASEM, Congress should establish chronic quinoline encephalopathy (neuropsychiatric quinism) as a perennial research topic under the Peer-Reviewed Medical Research Program (PRMRP) within the Department of Defense (DoD) Congressionally Directed Medical Research Program (CDMRP),” said Remington Nevin, MD, MPH, DrPH, executive director of The Quinism Foundation.

The Quinism Foundation and Veterans for Common Sense identified five focus areas for future research, including conducting high-quality epidemiological studies related to persistent health effects of antimalarial quinolines, particularly mefloquine.

“In a chapter titled ‘Improving the Quality of Research on the Long-Term Health Effects of Antimalarial Drugs,'” Dr. Nevin said, “the committee noted the importance of epidemiological study designs that ‘allow for the discovery of symptoms or diagnoses that covary. For example, if certain symptoms or diagnoses occur together in the same patients, there may be reason to consider a syndrome of “neuropsychiatric” symptoms that co-occur, rather than looking individually at separate neurologic or psychiatric experiences.’ The committee also noted that a ‘challenge when studying adverse events of drugs is that the occurrence of adverse events [e.g. prodromal psychiatric symptoms such as nightmares, insomnia, anxiety, depression, restlessness, and confusion during use of mefloquine (i.e., symptomatic exposure)] may cause an individual to decide to modify the dose, or even stop the drug completely, without consulting a health professional.'”

“This focus area should aim to fund epidemiological studies meeting the NASEM Committee’s criteria relative to persistent health effects of antimalarial quinolines, particularly mefloquine – to include valid assessment of symptomatic quinoline exposure and particularly symptomatic mefloquine exposure, and subsequent covarying symptoms or diagnoses consistent with the described presentation of chronic quinoline encephalopathy,” Dr. Nevin said.

Other focus areas identified include defining persistent central nervous system effects of antimalarial quinoline neurotoxicity, defining adverse neurophysiological effects of antimalarial quinolines, disentangling comorbid neuropsychiatric diagnoses confounded by antimalarial quinoline toxicity, and developing effective treatments.

Dr. Nevin said that, “this latter focus area should aim to develop treatable targets and treatments for patients with putative chronic quinoline encephalopathy – including those diagnosed with PTSD or TBI – to improve their health and lives.” Dr. Nevin said in this respect that, “although the committee wrote in its report that it held open sessions during their study to ‘listen to individual veterans and others, such as spouses and advocates, who are concerned about aspects of health that may be related to use of these antimalarial drugs’, the committee was prohibited from reviewing patient reports.”

“Had the committee been directed or allowed to review the medical records of affected patients, the unmet clinical needs of these individuals would have likely been readily apparent,” said Anthony Hardie, National Chair and Director of Veterans for Common Sense, a national veterans organization.

About The Quinism Foundation

The Quinism Foundation, founded in January 2018, in White River Junction, Vermont, promotes and supports education and research on quinism, the family of medical disorders caused by exposure to quinoline drugs, including mefloquine and tafenoquine. Dr. Remington Nevin, Executive Director of The Quinism Foundation, is a board-certified occupational medicine and preventive medicine physician and former U.S. Army medical officer and epidemiologist. He is author of more than 30 scientific publications on malaria and the quinoline antimalarials.

How Aging Life Care Managers® Can Help Families Prepare For Emergencies

Leave a comment


Seattle-based founder of Aging Wisdom, and past president of the Aging Life Care Association, Lisa Mayfield stated, “Our top concern is our clients’ health and well-being, that their families are getting clear information, and that our staff is safe as well.”


TUCSON, Ariz. (PRWEB)

The Aging Life Care Association® is a nationwide, 2000-member strong association of Aging Life Care Professionals® who help older adults and families plan and assist in long-term care and who are often on-call or involved during emergencies.

This is especially important during times of public health challenges, like the COVID-19 (corona) virus. Aging Life Care Managers® help clients and their families be prepared and have action plans through their holistic approach.

Aging Life Care Professionals are up-to-date on news and developments, and ready to assist their clients during the COVID-19 crisis in compassionate, competent, and controlled manners. They plan ahead to ensure that clients have what they will need at home including at least a month’s supply of medications, fever-reducing over-the-counter medications, gloves, disinfecting wipes, and ensuring vaccinations are current.

While scientists are still gathering data, both the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and World Health Organization (WHO) have been providing daily updates on this novel virus. Aging Life Care Professionals are able to be nimble and efficient by conveying this information to their clients as they occur.

“As an Aging Life Care practice based in Seattle, Washington, we are proceeding with an abundance of care and caution. We closely monitor public health directives and recommendations and employ best practices, such as proper and frequent hand washing, especially for personal visits. We are also in regular communication with allied professionals, such as our contacts at housing communities where our clients are residents, as well as with our clients’ families and other care partners. Our top concern is our clients’ health and well-being, that their families are getting clear information, and that our staff is safe as well,” said Lisa Mayfield, founder of Aging Wisdom and past president of the Aging Life Care Association.”

Current recommendations from these established health organizations are to practice every day preventative measures. Individuals and families are informed to follow the everyday preventive measures including: voluntary home isolation; respiratory etiquette; hand hygiene (washing or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with 60%-95% alcohol); avoid touching eyes, nose, mouth and ears; and routinely clean frequently touched surfaces and objects with disinfected wipes especially mobile phones and computers.

Routine use of these measures by everyone will increase community resilience and readiness for responding to an outbreak. According to the CDC, decisions about the implementation of community measures will be made by local and state officials, in consultation with federal officials as appropriate, and based on the scope of the outbreak and the severity of illness. Implementation will require extensive community engagement and ongoing and transparent public health communications.

ALCA’s Aging Life Care Professionals are dedicated, smart, and responsive and can support clients as needs arise before and during illness outbreaks. This COVID-19 outbreak can be concerning, but knowledge is power. If you are worried about your aging loved one, connect with an Aging Life Care Professional – they are ready to assist and ensure your loved ones are taking necessary precautions, whether they live alone or in community setting.

ABOUT the Aging Life Care Association®

Aging Life Care Association® was formed in 1985 to advance dignified care for older adults and their families in the United States. Founded by and handful of women entrepreneurs in the social work and nursing fields, the Association has grown to over 2000 members nationwide, and have cared for about two million older adults over its 35-year history. Aging Life Care Professionals® have extensive training and experience working with older adults, people with disabilities, and families who need assistance with caregiving issues. Through a process of assessment, care planning and implementation, advocacy, education, decision support, and coaching, the Aging Life Care Professional guides families to specific decisions and actions that ensure quality care and optimal functioning for those they love. The practice of Aging Life Care™ and the role of care providers have captured a national spotlight, as generations of Baby Boomers age in the United States and abroad.
