Elenium Commended by Frost & Sullivan for its AI-powered Airport Passenger Self-service Automation Kiosks

Elenium uses revolutionary technologies such as advanced feature recognition through biometrics to provide a completely touchless system with unmatched efficiency

LONDON, Jan. 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Based on its recent analysis of the Asia-Pacific airport self-service market, Frost & Sullivan recognizes Elenium Automation with the 2020 Asia-Pacific Technology Innovation Leadership Award. Its game-changing self-service touchless and vital sign detection technologies comprehensively enhance the passenger experience for all passengers, regardless of abilty and ensure a hygenic environment is maintained. Its AI and biometric-enabled kiosks are easy to install and operate, and deliver superior efficiency and passenger experience. Additionally, its other self-service operations, like bag tagging and off-airport check-ins, ensure a smooth passenger experience.

«The touchless kiosks can operate effectively even with passengers wearing masks, glasses, hats, and face visors. Elenium’s systems are highly intuitive, capable of working both in light and dark environments, and importantly, provide passengers with accessibility while insuring a seamless operation,» said Steven Lopez, Best Practices Research Analyst. «The kiosks use robust technology to drown out airport background noise and focus on the passenger’s speech, transmitting clear voice recognition. This is possible using proximity sensors, high-resolution cameras, and various directional microphones designed to operate and capture an individual’s voice despite high traffic and noisy environments.»

The company is committed to strengthening operational efficiency by increasing processing speeds and minimizing long passenger queues. It utilizes Flight Deck, Elenium’s operations and data management tool as an effective feedback mechanism, focusing the operations staff on preventative actions. The tool monitors operational performance by gathering autonomous passenger data that can track specifications such as which devices people use the most during the day and which airlines use the devices more than others. It uses the data to analyze passenger flow, the amount of time a passenger spends navigating through the self-service process, and the terminals with the highest traffic.

Elenium’s kiosks and bag drops demonstrate exceptional flexibility and can immediately integrate numerous types of tools to read vital signs for a potential fever using biometrics, thermal cameras, and near-infrared technology. Moreover, its systems can integrate with any third-party devices. Through its self-service solutions, Elenium helps airports establish and maintain public confidence in health screening as well as provide a streamlined method for passenger processing.

«The technology behind Elenium’s systems became and continues to remain a prominent innovation during the COVID-19 pandemic. Elenium listened to the feedback from airports regarding the virus and immediately focused on providing solutions that would help halt its spread,» noted Lopez. «This focus on customer needs and its technological superiority makes it a valuable partner in current and future markets.»

Aaron Hornlimann, CEO and Co-founder at Elenium Automation, said: «Elenium Automation is proud to be recognised by Frost & Sullivan for setting a benchmark in the automation of airports and passenger experience. Since starting the company less than five years ago, we have always been focused on improving the passenger experience. In response to the COVID-19 crisis, we combined the focus on passenger experience with finding ways to make the world safer by enhancing various customer-facing devices with touchless capability and evolving them into health screening points using contactless vital sign detection. We believe this will play a key role in restoring people’s confidence to travel and get them flying again.»

Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents the Technology Innovation Leadership Award to the company that has demonstrated uniqueness in developing and leveraging new technologies that deliver significant customer value.

Frost & Sullivan Best Practices awards recognize companies in a variety of regional and global markets for demonstrating outstanding achievement and superior performance in areas such as leadership, technological innovation, customer service, and strategic product development. Industry analysts compare market participants and measure performance through in-depth interviews, analysis, and extensive secondary research to identify best practices in the industry.

Medela Expands Support of the Mother-Baby Bond Introducing New Category Expansion and New All-Natural Breast Care Product

MCHENRY, Ill., Jan. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Today Medela LLC, the most trusted breast pump brand+, announced the launch of their new category expansion and breast care product, building on Medela’s commitment to supporting mom and baby throughout their breastfeeding journey. <a target="_blank"…

MCHENRY, Ill., Jan. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Today Medela LLC, the most trusted breast pump brand+, announced the launch of their new category expansion and breast care product, building on Medela’s commitment to supporting mom and baby throughout their breastfeeding journey. Medela Baby, a new baby care category line, will feature a full range of pacifiers for infants through 18 months and beyond. This is part of Medela’s initiative to support families and babies beyond breastfeeding. Medela also unveiled Purelan, Medela’s most advanced formulation of medical-grade lanolin, offering fast relief and protection for breastfeeding moms.

«We’re continuing to innovate and support at each stage of mom and baby journey,» said Melissa Gonzales, BS, RN, executive vice president of Medela Americas. «We believe that both assets will be incredible additions to our portfolio of high-quality, dependable products that mom and baby can rely on throughout their breastfeeding journey.»   

Developed in collaboration with midwives, dentists, speech therapists, lactation experts, and ergonomists, the Medela Baby portfolio features a collection of pacifiers in the optimal size, form, weight and characteristics for ideal tongue, lip and jaw movement.1-2 Each pacifier features exclusive SensoPearls for a gentle-on-skin feel and enhanced airflow and a light and ergonomic shield to fit the contour of baby’s face.3-4

«Our new Medela Baby pacifier collection reflects all the insights and research we know about infant suckling behaviour,» says Annette Brüls, CEO of Medela worldwide. «We’re thrilled to introduce Medela Baby to the market as a natural extension of our company’s mission and commitment to support families and babies in a holistic approach.»

Made in Switzerland from food-grade silicone, the collection meets the highest safety, design and quality standards with the added benefit of Medela’s leading research-based commitment to supporting breastfeeding mothers and their babies. The Medela Baby Collection includes four styles of pacifiers:

  • Soft Silicone, supports natural suckling with a one-piece super soft, lightweight and flexible design. Inspired by Medela’s Contact Nipple Shield, it is shaped to fit under the nose to not interfere with breathing and smelling the comforting scent of the mother.
  • Newborn, the smallest and lightest design, developed for babies under two months of age, features an extra light and small symmetrical teat to fit smaller babies’ mouth. Made of very soft and flexible silicone, allowing baby to easily squeeze at this early stage of tongue and muscle development.
  • Original, the perfect everyday pacifier available in 3 sizes (0-6 months, 6-18 months, and 18+ months), and in a variety of designs. A study shows that this pacifier was accepted by 9 out of 10 babies.5
  • Day & Night 24-hour 2-piece set, includes the Original pacifier and a Night pacifier that glows in the dark. The set is offered in 3 sizes: 0-6 months, 6-18 months, and 18+ months. A study shows that this pacifier was accepted by 9 out of 10 babies.5

Medela has introduced its most advanced lanolin formulation ever – Purelan. Nipple soreness and sensitivity is one of the leading complaints for new moms and causes of breastfeeding cessation.6-7 Many women turn to creams containing harsh chemicals or pain relieving medications. However, research suggests that highly purified lanolin can help reduce nipple pain and promote healing in breastfeeding mothers.8-9

Designed with this in mind, Medela developed their new single-ingredient, 100% natural, medical-grade lanolin cream, Purelan, which is formulated to provide relief for sore nipples and dry skin. Purelan is dermatologically tested, hypoallergenic and suitable for sensitive skin, providing a highly effective and safe solution for mom and baby – with no need to remove before feeding.

Aside from its skin-nourishing qualities, Purelan also offers the following benefits: 

  • Safe – no need to remove before feeding
  • Effective – ultra-pure medical-grade lanolin soothes nipple soreness
  • Natural – single-ingredient lanolin moisturizes and protects
  • Ethically sourced – traceable supply chain, raw materials from mulesing-free farms
  • Great for chapped lips and dry skin

Both Medela Baby and Purelan join Medela’s rapidly expanding product portfolio of top-of-the-line breast pumps, breast care, maternity and nursing apparel, negative pressure wound therapy, chest drainage and professional vacuum solution devices designed and backed by years of extensive research to support mom and baby in virtually any capacity.

The full Medela Baby portfolio retails for $6.99$8.99 and is available for purchase now at Amazon, and will be available on Target.com, in select Target stores, Walmart.com, and BuyBuyBaby.com and in-store at Buy Buy Baby later this spring in the United States. The new Purelan retails for $7.99 now on Amazon, and will be available at Target beginning in February.

For Canadian shoppers, the full Medela Baby portfolio will be available for purchase through Babies ‘R Us, Buy Buy Baby, and Walmart, beginning February 15, 2021, with products available for purchase between $7.99$8.99 CDN. Purelan is available now at Rexall, and will expand to other retailers in February, for $11.99 CDN.

George Wuerthner, author, ecologist and GYWA board member, said, «The Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem is part of the global heritage, and we have a responsibility to do everything we can to preserve it.»

«We are talking about protecting some of the top one or two per cent of wild country in the lower 48,» said Knight. These wild lands are some of the best wildlife habitat in the country, providing a home for Grizzly Bear, Lynx, Wolf, Elk, Moose, Mountain Goat, Wolverine and Bighorn Sheep, and are the source of waters that support genetically pure Yellowstone and West Slope Cutthroat Trout.

Anne Millbrooke, GYWA board member, explained, «Big open spaces are not actually open and certainly not wasted. Nature fills that space and uses it. As byproducts, nature protects our clean air and clean water. It even stores carbon.»

The CGNF caps Yellowstone National Park like a crown of wild mountains. From Cowboy Heaven to the Tongue River Breaks, the Crazy Mountains to the Line Creek Plateau, the Gallatin Crest to Lionhead, the Beartooth Front to the Pryor Mountains, there is no other national forest like it. GYWA believes that what the CGNF does best is provide for high-quality wild lands. It is not the nation’s wood box, nor should it be the nation’s outdoor gymnasium.

Wild lands protection is critical to the quality of life of the region’s communities, and essential to the outdoor economy that draws visitors, as well as contributing to the wellbeing of residents, providing clean water, important fish habitat, critical wildlife habitat, scenic beauty, and solace for people in troubled times.

According to Conservation Biology principles, larger protected areas are better than smaller patches of habitat. So, it is important to conserve larger unprotected wild lands, especially if they are contiguous to existing protected areas such as Yellowstone Park.

In addition, some wild lands are critical corridors for the movement of wildlife between other protected landscapes. For example, the Bridger Mountain Range can serve as a corridor connecting the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem to other wild lands further north.

MINNEAPOLIS, Jan. 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — WhyWould.com Excerpts from an article in the New York Times; January 1st, 1984 edition reviewing George Orwell’s’ famous literary work «1984» reads:  

»IN a free society,» wrote the French philosopher Montesquieu, »it is not always important that individual’s reason well, it is sufficient that they reason; from their individual thought, freedom is born.» – Exactly two centuries later, in his futuristic novel »1984,» the English political novelist George Orwell gave a tragic illustration of what the world would be without the freedom to think. Orwell had the intention to call his book »The Last Man in Europe,» as a tribute to the essential quality that distinguished man from the world around him, namely his ability to think for himself.»  {Edmond van Den Bossche

Mr. Van Den Bossche entitled his article «THE MESSAGE FOR TODAY IN ORWELL’S 1984,» appropriately and poignantly, prophetic of 2021, for we are suffering a plight similar to those we’ve historically fought, bled and died to defend in our two centuries of nationhood.

Our society clamors for a forum where the civil exchange of contrasting ideas can be measured, weighed, and assimilated with impunity.  «We are the defenders of free speech!»  Our goals; patently clear.  To build a public «safe-space» for all.  A space devoid of persecution, shadow-banning, harassment, and ridicule.  We condemn both, violence and dishonesty while condoning civility of the highest order.»  We encourage you to be bold and unite with us.
