CHICAGO, Jan. 12, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — SwiftLink Worldwide is excited to announce the launch of two new services designed to provide customers with dependable mail solutions. Since 2008, Swift has been the go-to choice for travelers in need of expedited passports and visas. This year, due to the stagnate state of travel, the company decided to diversify by adding in a full suite of new services including two new mail solutions.

In the city of Chicago, physical mailboxes are in demand, particularly in business saturated locations. SwiftLink’s office is located in one of the busiest districts in Chicago, River North, and experiences a high volume of foot traffic on a daily basis. The company saw an opportunity to meet the needs of its current and future customers by installing 141 physical mailboxes in the space adjacent to their main office.

By renting a physical mailbox from SwiftLink, customers have an alternative to the traditional P.O. Box. They also have their mail delivered to a prime Chicago location and get to use a real, credible address. The mailboxes are available for both professional and personal use and are completely secure.

«Our physical mailbox service starts at just $28.00 a month. We wanted to make it incredibly affordable for all types of customers. As part of the service, we include management of all envelopes, packages, and deliveries,» said Rob Lee, co-owner of SwiftLink Worldwide.

Customers that rent a mailbox from SwiftLink on a monthly basis also get access to other services offered such as scanning, printing, faxing, shipping, travel services, and more.

The other new mail solution launched by SwiftLink in the summer of 2020 was virtual mail. While working with a multitude of travelers, Swift often heard their customers say they wished they had access to their mail from anywhere in the world. This way, they would have one less thing to worry about during their trips.

When asked about the new virtual mail service, Rob said, «we always listen to what our customers are saying. The fact that they wanted access to mail while traveling the globe was something we hadn’t considered, but then we realized how valuable this type of service could be, and not just for travelers.»

Upon the launch of their virtual mail service, Swift had many customers sign up. The customers ranged from executives, to road warriors, to owners of home based-business owners. As a customer’s mail comes in to SwiftLink, it is scanned. The customer gets an alert whenever mail is received and can then view their mail from their computer, tablet, or mobile device from any place in the world.    

«Living between Shanghai and Chicago has its challenges, but managing my mail is no longer one of them. With Swift’s virtual mail service, I get my important mail scanned to me, and the unimportant mail shredded,» said Toni Aducci, a SwiftLink customer.

SwiftLink’s virtual mail service starts at just $9.99 per month and customers can sign up online.

NAGOYA, Japan, Jan. 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Tajima Industries Co., Ltd. (based in Nagoya, Japan), a leading embroidery machine manufacturer striving for automation of embroidery, production network management, and promotion of smart embroidery businesses, is proud to announce the launch of new embroidery machines on January 22, 2021, as the brand-new «TMEZ-KC Series» models, equipped with the «i-TM» function for automating the embroidery finish.

While society has been going through great technological progressions like digitization in recent years, the apparel-manufacturing industry has come to face emerging issues associated with the labor shortage caused by the global COVID-19 outbreak. In such circumstances, the company is centering its corporate focus around automation of the machine embroidery production process by equipping machines with its proprietary AI technology «i-TM,» designed to automate the embroidery finish, as a solution to the manufacturing labor shortage.

TMEZ-K1506C: https://kyodonewsprwire.jp/prwfile/release/M106387/202012028045/_prw_PI4fl_7M3G2Hxq.jpg

1. Tajima’s Original AI Technology «i-TM»

«i-TM» stands for «Intelligent Thread Management.» In machine embroidery, patterns may be stitched in all different directions and the stitch length may vary even in a single design, making machine embroidery one of the most difficult types of sewing. The company has successfully algorithmized the embroidery finish patterns acquired through many years of experience to produce «i-TM.» This AI technology analyzes the stitch-by-stitch sewing direction and fabric thickness to compute the appropriate amount of upper thread feed for the next stitch and makes proper adjustments to stitches so that the embroidery finish that is considered to be «good» can be achieved in a stable manner.

2. Advantages of «i-TM» at Machine Embroidery Factories

– Shorter Test Sewing Time

While most operators using conventional embroidery machines perform sewing tests to adjust the thread tension prior to actual production, i-TM-installed machines require much less time for test sewing in the preparatory process, allowing operators to use the time saved for production activities. The i-TM models are especially suitable for embroidering on ready-made products with mixed levels of fabric thickness and elasticity, such as caps, T-shirts, patches, shoes and socks.

Comparison of Production Processes between Conventional and i-TM Models: https://kyodonewsprwire.jp/prwfile/release/M106387/202012028045/_prw_PI3fl_vk035bN0.jpg

– Reduced Manufacturing Defects and Losses

The most frequent losses observed at machine embroidery factories are the products that fail in the quality inspection due to an insufficient embroidery finish. The i-TM models automatically adjust the embroidery finish to achieve good results in a stable manner, thus contributing to reduction of manufacturing losses.

– New Operators Readily Set to Work

Operators with experience-based skills play a crucial role in the conventional practice of upper thread tension adjustment to varying thread types. With «i-TM,» on the other hand, operators’ tasks are eased as the thread tension does not need to be adjusted manually, saving managers the time for training operators.

– Beautiful Finish with Various Thread Types

«i-TM» incorporates the stitching techniques that Tajima has accumulated over decades and produces a beautiful embroidery finish by tightening the thread firmly for linear running stitches while providing soft sewing for zig-zag satin stitches.

BRUSSELS, Jan. 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Runway excursions are the most frequent type of accident in aviation and regularly are identified as one of the most serious risks for large and small aircraft. Because of the complexity of the risk factors, preventing runway excursions requires coordination and commitment among numerous stakeholders. Today’s release of the Global Action Plan for the Prevention of Runway Excursions (GAPPRE) is the culmination of a two-year effort and demonstrates the industry’s commitment to preventing runway excursions.

GAPPRE was developed by an international team of more than 100 aviation professionals from more than 40 organizations. The initiative was coordinated by Flight Safety Foundation and EUROCONTROL, and the GAPPRE recommendations have been validated by the Airports Council International (ACI), the Civil Air Navigation Services Organisation (CANSO), the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and the International Air Transport Association (IATA).

«Reducing runway excursions and continuing to improve the overall safety of the approach and landing phases of flight continue to be a primary area of focus for the Foundation,» said Flight Safety Foundation President and CEO Dr. Hassan Shahidi. «We are gratified by the efforts of the many safety professionals who gave of their time and expertise to make the GAPPRE a reality, and I want to thank our partners at EUROCONTROL, ACI, CANSO, EASA and IATA for their continuing commitment to safety collaboration.»

With the release of the action plan, the Foundation is launching a year-long campaign to focus attention on runway excursion risk and support implementation of the consensus-based GAPPRE recommendations. Runway safety and GAPPRE will be regular themes this year at Foundation-organized events, starting with next month’s Safety Forum.

GAPPRE is the Foundation’s latest initiative related to approach and landing safety. The Approach and Landing Accident Reduction Toolkit  ̶  first issued in 1998 and updated in 2010  ̶  is one of the most widely circulated and utilized efforts in the Foundation’s history. More recently, the recommendations contained in the Go-Around Decision-Making and Execution Project report have gained traction with several international operators.

Volume I of the GAPPRE action plan, which contains recommendations for operators, airports, air navigation service providers, aircraft manufacturers and regulators, is now available on the Foundation’s website and through other project partners.

TOKYO, Jan. 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The growing trend toward electric vehicles is spurring materials suppliers like Polyplastics Co., Ltd., a leading global supplier of engineering plastics, to position its innovative resin products for use in Advanced Driver-Assistance System(ADAS) parts that enable autonomous driving. The company’s DURANEX(R) PBT and DURAFIDE(R) PPS materials–targeted for sensors in radar and camera bracket systems–show great promise in delivering low warpage, dimensional stability, and low dielectric constant.

In radar housings, manufacturers seek materials with low dielectric constant, stable radio wave transmissibility, and low water absorption. The market has been employing syndiotactic polystyrene(SPS) and polyetherimide(PEI) for dielectric properties, and PPS for low water absorption and chemical resistance. To meet cost challenges, manufacturers have started to incorporate PBT into their designs.

Polyplastics reports that water absorption has little effect on DURAFIDE(R) PPS 1140A6, but some impact on DURANEX(R) PBT 330HR. As a result, Polyplastics is working on the development of new PBT grades with enhanced low-dielectric properties and low water absorption.

For the radar bracket itself, electromagnetic wave-shielding properties are needed to protect against unnecessary reflected waves. Polyplastics’ electrically conductive grades, DURACON(R) POM CH-10 and EB-10, and DURANEX(R) PBT 7300E, are all being actively considered while new PBT grades with stronger electromagnetic wave-shielding properties are under development.

For car-mounted, sensing camera brackets, low-warpage and high-rigidity materials like DURANEX(R) PBT 733LD and 7407 are generally preferred. The company has also developed matte technology which uses a laser treatment to reduce noise(scattered light). The laser treatment results in favorable gloss and blackness levels. Polyplastics will continue to explore long-term durability and different process conditions to reduce treatment time.
