LISLE, Ill., Jan. 6, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Molex, a leading global connectivity and electronics solutions provider, unveiled results of a global survey of automotive decision makers depicting top trends and technologies impacting «car of the future» strategies and business decisions. Survey findings validate the critical role of data, software and networking in enabling electrification and connectivity—identified as the two most important areas of innovation.

Molex’s Future of Automotive Survey says electrification and connectivity are two most important areas of innovation

«It’s an exciting time in the automotive industry, and this survey underscores the accelerated pace of investment and innovation,» said Mike Bloomgren, SVP, president, Transportation & Industrial Solutions, Molex. «The results also reinforce our mission to design and deliver critical electronics solutions that form the central nervous system of tomorrow’s connected cars.»

Molex commissioned Dimensional Research to conduct The Future of Automotive survey in November 2020, polling 230 qualified participants in engineering, product, procurement, R&D, supply chain, innovation or strategy roles at automotive companies with at least 1,000 employees. Survey respondents were asked questions designed to help them visualize what an average new car purchased in 2030 might be like, including top features, initiatives and innovations.

Key findings include:

  • 91% of respondents say cars will be either fully electric (64%) or hybrid (27%)
  • 97% expect «range anxiety» to be solved by 2030
  • 94% expect cars to include autonomous driving; only 28% envision fully self-driving cars
  • 56% believe 2030 cars will be at least 50% more expensive than today’s cars

When asked to identify top areas in the overall ecosystem with the most potential to reduce the price of a 2030 car, battery cost savings (40%), software integration (34%) and manufacturing processes (32%) led the way. In addition, 96% agreed the car of the future will require manufacturing factory innovations.

Top Features, Technologies and Innovations

According to the survey respondents, the top three features most likely to be standard by 2030 are high-speed WiFi, wireless charging and car-to-car communication. In selecting the five most important innovation areas in the next decade, respondents picked electrification (38%), connectivity (33%), passenger safety (29%), quality and reliability (28%), and software-defined infrastructure (27%).

Moreover, 60% of those polled favor the ability to deliver innovation via software as a priority, encompassing the intelligence needed for autonomous driving, advanced algorithms to reduce energy consumption, remote updates of new capabilities and customized driving experiences.

Across the board, participants reported customer demand and technology innovations will impact future car developments, especially in speeding green or socially responsible initiatives, ranging from zero-emission vehicles to zero-waste production.

Tech Companies and China Gain Momentum

While 44% of survey respondents envision established automakers driving development of an average car purchased in 2030, 32% cited increasing traction by technology companies. Companies such as Apple, Google and Microsoft are expected to gain momentum because of their expertise in user experience and Human Machine Interfaces. Equally important is industry sentiment that China is most likely to produce the car of the future first, followed by the U.S., Japan and Germany.

Overcoming Obstacles is Prioritized

Overwhelmingly, participants report major technology challenges to delivering innovation, with 44% citing insufficient battery life and 36% reporting obstacles getting electronics and software to operate in extreme scenarios. Additionally, 33% reported challenges in attaining hard-to-find expertise in electrification, 5G, security and other needed technologies.

SmartRent Announces Alloy Parking: The Smart Parking Management System for Property Owners

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Jan. 6, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — SmartRent, a provider of smart home automation for property owners, managers, developers and residents, today announced its new smart parking management system, <a target="_blank"…

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Jan. 6, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — SmartRent, a provider of smart home automation for property owners, managers, developers and residents, today announced its new smart parking management system, Alloy Parking. The system introduces new features that leverage the latest IoT technology to streamline the parking space management process for multifamily site teams, while increasing revenue by monetizing underutilized spaces.

The increase in car ownership is driving the demand for better parking solutions as residents forego public transit and purchase cars for the first time — especially in urban areas. At the same time, residents are turning to micro-mobility alternatives like motorcycles, bikes and e-scooters. Even though cities are loosening their parking ratio requirements for new construction, the majority of existing apartments are built on antiquated needs. This creates challenges for property owners who need to optimize — and monetize — their leased and guest parking for new, unpredictable shifts in travel patterns and vehicle ownership.

«As property managers adapt to dynamic trends in car ownership and mobility, they can no longer rely on outdated parking models with ATM-style machines and unused spaces,» said Lucas Haldeman, CEO and Co-founder of SmartRent. «Alloy Parking modernizes the parking model in a time when both residents and property owners want smarter solutions. We saw the need for a seamless software interface that reacts to parking needs in real time, making the parking experience frictionless for residents and flexible for managers.»

To overhaul the cumbersome parking process and enable property owners to make the best use of their parking spaces, Alloy Parking includes features that address key pain points and opportunities:

Create a single source of truth and management for all parking facilities: Property owners and operators today typically have inconsistent inventories and fragmented solutions throughout their portfolio. Alloy Parking solves for this by acting as a single source of truth, with one system that maximizes all parking-related revenue.

Proactively manage resident parking: From insufficient parking to unauthorized vehicles on property, resident parking is a major pain point. Alloy Parking uses IoT sensors to monitor spaces, automate enforcement and assign parking. Through an online portal, residents have access to their own parking management, which allows them to manage their vehicles, smart decals and see available parking spaces.

Monitor real-time parking availability: SmartRent partnered with real-estate visualization software Engrain to develop an interactive map, which creates a customized, geo-located visual representation of a community’s parking inventory. This provides staff, residents and guests with rich visualization of space location and real-time availability.

Optimize revenue: Managers can dynamically adjust pricing for guest parking according to desirability and demand. Additionally, when there is an excess of underutilized assigned parking, owners can easily monetize those spaces by shifting them to guest spaces that generate revenue instead of sitting empty.

Automate access to garages or gated lots: If combined with SmartRent’s Alloy Access system, when residents are moved into the property management system, the integration will automatically assign mobile credentials to the appropriate parking garages or gated lots. This enables residents to remotely move in without having to meet a manager on move-in day.

Alloy Parking is fully compatible with SmartRent’s Community Manager platform, helping properties manage parking from one easy-to-use platform. In addition to Alloy Parking, SmartRent offers a range of connected, brand-agnostic solutions designed to give multifamily property owners, managers and residents more efficiency, convenience and security protection across their property. Solutions include the Alloy Fusion all-in-one touchscreen hub and thermostat, the newly launched Alloy Access for access control, and self-guided tours. Today, companies like Essex Property Trust, MAA and Aimco use SmartRent to connect, automate, protect and manage tens of thousands of housing units nationwide.

Alloy Parking is available now. To learn more, contact SmartRent here.

Hotel Henry Urban Resort Conference Center Salutes Maestro PMS Ease of Use, Service and Support

MARKHAM, Ontario, Jan. 6, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — In a post pandemic world, only the most service-oriented businesses will survive. Putting customers first, nurturing empathy, being proactive, prioritizing communications, boosting training, and practicing patience must be the fundamental ingredients of a customer service culture in the new normal.

MARKHAM, Ontario, Jan. 6, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — In a post pandemic world, only the most service-oriented businesses will survive. Putting customers first, nurturing empathy, being proactive, prioritizing communications, boosting training, and practicing patience must be the fundamental ingredients of a customer service culture in the new normal. It is those components that Umit Uyghur, director of rooms and regional director of revenue and optimization at the Hotel Henry Urban Resort and Conference Center, said he values from Maestro. The national historic landmark is leveraging Maestro’s cloud-based property-management system to support guests enjoying the popular lodging and convention destination.

«Maestro PMS is one of the BEST property-management systems I have ever used — and throughout my hotel career, there have been many,» Uyghur said. «What I especially appreciate is the Diamond Plus service provided by their entire team. Whenever I call the support line (for instance when a special rate does not pop up on an OTA site) they greet me by name as if I were a friend or family member and help me with the fix instantly. As director of rooms and regional director of revenue and optimization, I cannot afford to wait 24 hours to get the data I need. With Maestro, there’s simply no waiting; they are available 24/7 — even during a pandemic. It’s amazing.

«Also, in my role I touch every aspect of the Maestro PMS, from front-desk and revenue-management to accounting, yield and rate-management,» he said. «The system is not complicated like other PMS solutions; it’s user friendly and so easy to learn by just following the online training tools and watching the tutorials. As COVID-19 continues to linger on, we have to do more with less, and that includes requiring staff to assume new roles. Thanks to Maestro’s simplified training, things like building a custom promotional package, facilitating curbside check-in (that many of our guests prefer to put some distance between themselves and staff or other guests), and curbside pick-up for our 100 Acres restaurant, has been a breeze to implement.»

Maestro’s cloud-hosted PMS features browser-only access deployed in a client dedicated environment. Software is deployed over the Internet and is managed by Maestro, along with system upgrades, backups and maintenance. In December 2020, Hotel Henry upgraded to Maestro PMS Version 5.5 that offers a curbside check-in tool utilizing mobile tablet devices to streamline registration and socially distance staff from guests and guests from each other; a web/mobile/kiosk/iPad self-check-in module with mobile key integration; express mobile check-out; electronic registration card with signature capture; mobile spa provider schedule; mobile intake and waiver forms; and eSignature document management to limit staff interaction with guests and remove high-touch physical documents. Staff also benefit from a mobile housekeeping app that protects staff by controlling the availability of rooms and optionally setting a 48-hour time gap between the time a guest departs and the next guest arrives. Version 5.5 also includes mobile payment integration; mobile task management; and a Guest Engagement Measurement (GEM) tool that provides access to relevant guest feedback, intelligence and insights to encourage operational excellence, meaningful differentiation, and a sustainable competitive advantage.

«Maestro’s cloud solution is great,» Uyghur said. «I can manage revenues and access reports remotely without having to be on property. Whether I am at our sister hotel, Mansion on Delaware Avenue, or traveling to Europe, I have full control over my operation. It’s a truly modern solution that meets my rapidly changing demands. Now that both these properties have the latest version upgrade of Maestro, we can begin adding more of the contactless features to meet the safety demands of our guests.»

In April 2021, the Hotel Henry Urban Resort Conference Center will be rebranded as the Hotel Henry Buffalo, a Curio Collection by Hilton brand, and will automatically switch to the Hilton mandated PMS. Mansion on Delaware Avenue will remain with Maestro.

«Before we transition, I feel it’s important to share with my peers — especially those independent hotels looking to migrate to a new PMS provider in 2021 — the widespread success that we’ve had with the Maestro PMS; it’s a great system that I recommend highly,» Uyghur said.

Maestro President Warren Dehan had this to say: «We are delighted that Umit and management of both Hotel Henry and Mansion on Delaware Avenue are so pleased with the service and support provided by Maestro. It has been said that customer service should not be confined to a single department; rather it should transcend throughout the company culture. That’s how we operate here at Maestro. No matter the task, we will do whatever it takes to deliver Diamond Plus service in a functional, appropriate, useful, and reliable way. Our customers are family, and as such, we have their backs. As we navigate the new normal in this new year, Maestro is committed to maximizing operational efficiency and staff productivity backed by a 24/7 call center. We will continue to offer free version upgrades; on demand live one-on-one refresher training; in application live chat, online user guides, tutorials and direct email support; complimentary live learning webinars; an e-Learning user website; and professional productivity audits. Yes, we have great software, but our service culture is the real key to our success and the success of our customers.»

NEW DELHI, Jan. 6, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — SUJÁN Sher Bagh, Ranthambhore has won the award for Favourite Safari Lodge in India at the tenth edition of Condé Nast Traveller Readers’ Travel Awards. Held in Association with CRED, Associate Partners Priority Pass from Collinson & Forest Essentials and Partner SVAMI, the ceremony took place in a special virtual avatar on Condé Nast Traveller’s digital platforms.

Like every year, the Readers’ Travel Awards are chosen through a readers’ voting process spanning two months sans any nominations and recognises the best in the travel industry across hotels, destinations, airlines, spas, websites, apps, cruise lines and more.

Divia Thani, Editor, Condé Nast Traveller India says, «What a year the travel industry has had! And 2020 also marked 10 years of Condé Nast Traveller in India! Our annual Readers’ Travel Awards are considered the ‘Oscars of Travel’–usually winners are revealed at a gala 300-person event in New Delhi with the crème de la crème of the travel and hospitality industry in attendance. This year, our event was completely digital. We also introduced 7 new award categories, ranging from Favourite LGBTQ-friendly hotel in India to Favourite Hotel Bar in India, to recognise the pioneering efforts of some players, and also to further support the industry during this tough time. Going digital allowed us the space to add these categories but also to do something truly exciting and heartwarming: this year, the CNT Readers’ Travel Awards were accepted not by CEOs or GMs but by the operations staff at hotels, airlines and airports. These are the people on the ground, working everyday to keep things going, keeping things smooth and safe for travellers everywhere. They are the true stars of travel, and I am delighted that we can recognise them, thanks to our audiences who voted for their favourites in record numbers this year. The CNT RTA truly demonstrates our audience’s passion for travel and our wholehearted support for this incredible industry which is so crucial to our economy and our culture.»

The annual Condé Nast Traveller Readers’ Travel Awards has set the benchmarks in the hospitality and travel industry year on year, since its inception in 1989 in the United States of America.

The Readers’ Travel Award 2020 winners will be featured in Condé Nast Traveller India’s December 2020January 2021 issue.
