SecuraTrac® is leading the advancement of Mobile Personal Emergency Response technology with the introduction of the Mobile Defender 4 (MD4). This new mobile safety device operates on the AT&T network and is 4G/LTE certified providing superior monitoring capabilities anywhere in North America. The cutting-edge technology built into the MD4 is matched in superiority by the 5 Diamond Central Station mobile monitoring that is available as just one component of the ReliaTrac® Platform.

The features of the MD4 were developed to meet a variety of remote monitoring needs including: senior safety and aging-in-place; special needs safety and monitoring; mobile and telehealth; lone worker safety; liability reduction for hospitality workers, solo driver industries, guard and protective services; law enforcement, staff tracking and first responders; special needs safety; outpatient management monitoring; medication reminders and many other applications.

More versatile than previous mPERS devices, the MD4 has proprietary fall detection algorithms with false alarm cancellation capabilities. It also has GPS positioning for accurate outdoor location detection and allows for precise indoor positioning through the use of integrated Bluetooth and WiFi technologies. There are multiple ring and vibration modes, including a host of covert settings, and the option to whitelist authorized numbers to help prevent SPAM calls. The device is IPX-7 rated, has a two to three-day battery life and a noise cancelling microphone for transmission clarity. These features can be enabled en masse over thousands of devices at once or simply adjusted using proprietary SecuraTrac over-the-air update technology.

The MD4, like the generations of devices before it, is fully integrated with the ReliaTrac® Platform. ReliaTrac integrates with leading automation software from Bold, Dice MAS, MicroKey, SGS and can also be customized to integrate with any proprietary automation system. Any telecommunications partner is an option worldwide – AT&T, T-Mobile, Telefonica, Rogers – with coverage capabilities possible in over 120 countries. Via the platform users can access real-time and historical mapping, a secure message gateway, reporting and analytics and alerts. Both the ReliaTrac® Platform and the Mobile Defender 4 are available standard or white labeled and the platform can be tailored to fit specific monitoring needs.

SecuraTrac is nearing the end of its development of the Verizon version of the MD4 and expects to release that for commercial use in the Summer of 2020.

Hamilton Caster Appoints Andrew D. Stamp as Director of Sales

Hamilton Caster & Mfg. Co., a 117-year-old industry leader in heavy-duty industrial casters, proudly announces the enhancement of its legacy Super Endurance Caster (SEC) series, now rebranded as the Spinfinity® Super Endurance Caster (ZFSEC) series. In addition, Hamilton is introducing the all-new Spinfinity® Super Endurance Dual Caster (ZFSEC2) series, both of which feature a new heavy-duty 'V-Style' seal designed to elevate performance in the most demanding environments.
The Spinfinity® Super Endurance Caster (ZFSEC) series replaces Hamilton’s legacy SEC series, setting a new benchmark for kingpinless caster design in extra heavy-duty applications. Central to this upgrade is the heavy-duty 'V-Style' seal, which offers protection against dirt, debris, and moisture. This advanced sealing technology ensures consistent performance and extends the life of the caster, making it the ideal choice for environments where reliability is critical.
"With the introduction of the V-Style seal, the ZFSEC series is engineered to withstand the harshest conditions while providing zero-fix, 100% maintenance-free operation," said Mark Lippert, president of Hamilton Caster. "This enhancement allows our customers to minimize maintenance costs and downtime, further solidifying Hamilton’s reputation for durability and dependability."
The ZFSEC series retains the robust construction that Hamilton is known for, including a swivel top plate and inner raceway made from forged steel, providing superior strength for shock conditions. Sealed precision ball bearings are also now standard in all wheels, contributing to the maintenance-free performance of the series. Notably, the zerk fittings have been eliminated, as the new design makes them unnecessary.
Complementing the ZFSEC series, Hamilton introduces the all-new Spinfinity® Super Endurance Dual Wheel Caster (ZFSEC2) series. This dual wheel series is engineered for extra heavy-duty applications where stability, durability, and maintenance-free operation are paramount. Like its counterpart, the ZFSEC2 series leverages the new 'V-Style' seal, ensuring that each caster is fully protected against contaminants that could compromise performance.
Combined with sealed precision ball wheel bearings, this caster series ensures zero-fix, 100% maintenance-free performance. The dual-wheel configuration enhances stability and allows for a lower overall height, offering a perfect blend of strength and maneuverability.
Casters in both series are finished in a durable HAA polyester platinum powder coat and are available in a wide variety of wheel types, allowing for customization based on application needs. For complete wheel specs and product details check out the Spinfinity® Super Endurance Caster Landing Page and all-new Spinfinity® Super Endurance Dual Caster Landing Page.

New Horizon Releases Innovative Functionality for Optimizing Inbound Logistics Scheduling at DCs

ACTON, Massachusetts – September 3, 2024 – New Horizon Soft, LLC (https://www.newhorizon.ai), a global leader in AI-powered supply chain planning software, announced today the release of a new version of its Buyers Workbench procurement planning software. The latest version includes the ability to optimally schedule inbound deliveries, taking into account distribution center (DC) receiving capacity, thus minimizing receiving bottlenecks and lowering inbound logistics costs. A research paper describing the innovative methodology and its deployment at an iconic $10B+ U.S. quick-service restaurant chain was recently published in the peer-reviewed academic journal, the International Journal of Operations Research and Information Systems.

Supply chain organizations typically plan purchase orders without regard to DC receiving capacity. This leads to bottlenecks on some days and underutilized staff on others. New Horizon’s methodology, called Master Purchasing Receipt Scheduling (MPRS), uses a novel algorithm to automatically and optimally schedule deliveries. The algorithm plans deliveries at the time of purchase order creation and results in a steady volume of deliveries and lower planning and logistics costs. While first deployed at a restaurant chain, the methodology is applicable to any manufacturer, wholesaler, retailer, or foodservice company operating high-velocity DCs.
