LONDON, Jan. 7, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The remit of property managers has shifted significantly in recent years.

No longer is the discipline focused purely on the functional and operational aspects of running, maintaining and monetising a portfolio. As well as the actual bricks and mortar, property managers are now also responsible for wider business performance, creating communities in their buildings, the safety of those occupying properties and the deployment of property management technology to support their efforts.

Professionals in the field need a range of skills and qualifications across accounting, investment, marketing, customer experience, strategic leadership, IT and digital innovation and transformation. And as businesses look to return to offices, safety will be paramount. It will fall to property managers to deliver.

It all makes for a truly exciting time to be a property manager, with opportunities to excel in a number of different areas and to influence the business you work for at an executive level. But, it doesn’t come without its challenges.

In a recent on-demand virtual roundtable, hosted by Estates Gazette, MRI Software and other real estate industry experts discuss these trends and look at the ways in which property managers are driving change and shaping the future of the sector. The participants also explore some of the difficulties faced, and how technology, automation and digital communication can provide a platform for ongoing success.

In light of the current business climate and impacts of COVID-19, the conversation also focuses on the post-pandemic recovery and the tentative steps being taken to return to the workplace – or not, in some cases.

Mando Corporation gana el Innovation Award en el mayor evento de tecnología reconocido del mundo, ‘CES 2021’

‘Steer-by-Wire (SbW)’ liderará la revolución del espacio en cabina en la era de la conducción autónoma

– Las compañías líderes con tecnología de conducción autónoma como Mando, Google y Bosch recibieron premios en la categoría «Inteligencia de vehículo y Transporte».

‘Steer-by-Wire (SbW)’ liderará la revolución del espacio en cabina en la era de la conducción autónoma

– Las compañías líderes con tecnología de conducción autónoma como Mando, Google y Bosch recibieron premios en la categoría «Inteligencia de vehículo y Transporte».

SEÚL, Corea del sur, 7 de enero de 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Mando Corporation, una compañía de piezas de automoción global, obtuvo el Innovation Award en la categoría Inteligencia de vehículo y Transporte (VIT) de ‘CES 2021’. Dado que es la primera participación de Mando en CES, ganar un premio de innovación es un logro importante. 15 compañías, entre ellas Google, IBM, Bosch y Continental, recibieron también los premios en la misma categoría.

Mando SbW (Steer by Wire) System Model Cut (Same as real product) – Upper (SFA : Steering Feedback Actuator), Lower (RWA : Road Wheel Actuator)

El valor que el ‘SbW (Steer-by-Wire: Free-Mounted Type Advanced Steering System)’ de Mando ofrece a los clientes (fabricantes de automóviles y consumidores) es libertad y seguridad.

En términos de diseño de automoción, el reto de los últimos 120 años ha sido la separación del acuerdo (espacio de conducción) y el chasis (espacio para mover el vehículo). En particular, los coches eléctricos, conocidos por tener una flexibilidad de diseño relativamente más libre, ruedas independientes necesarias (chasis) y volante para la eficiencia en la producción en masa, incluyendo baterías y libertad del control de sistema, pero no había tecnología para sustituir las conexiones mecánicas.

‘SbW (Steer-by-Wire)’ es un producto totalmente eléctrico, y ‘Electrical Signal (by Wire)’ sustituye el movimiento mecánico. Así, ofrece una gran libertad arquitectural para el diseño de vehículos. Con ‘SbW (Steer-by-Wire)’, el volante puede localizarse libremente según el propósito del vehículo, y también puede diseñarse con la función ‘Auto Stow’ (sacarse y utilizarse cuando sea necesario). Si un volante desaparece, el uso de espacio interior puede maximizarse. En un vehículo totalmente autónomo, el conductor se convierte en un pasajero y el espacio de vehículo se convierte en un espacio habitable. El asiento del conductor también puede rotarse 180 grados para enfrentarse a otros pasajeros. Más experiencias de auto-conducción, como leer, jugar a juegos y ver películas serán posibles.

Los componentes principales de ‘SbW (Steer-by-Wire)’ están diseñados como el ‘Dual Redundant Safety System’. Incluso con un solo fallo del sistema, el sistema completo continuará operando con normalidad. La información se error se graba automáticamente para análisis futuro. La redundancia es una tecnología que es absolutamente indispensable para permitir y expeditar la era de la movilidad futura como la conducción totalmente autónoma, control remoto y más. La tecnología de Mando que surgió de «Freedom» y «Safety» fue una vez más reconocida en todo el mundo ya que ganó el CES Innovation Award. El SbW (Steer-by-Wire) de Mando se producirá en masa por primera vez en el mundo en Norteamérica el próximo año.

Mientras tanto, el videoclip de SbW, que resolvió 120 años de dificultades (separar el cuerpo superior e inferior de un automóvil) se lanzará por primera vez en el mundo en la plataforma online de Mondo, CES 2021, el día 11.

The money saved in travel can go to all kinds of efforts from anti-poaching, conservation projects, local schools and facilities. It’s a win not only for the outfitters but for wildlife and hunters.» said Boddington.
