Command Alkon to Host Virtual 2020 ELEVATE Awards Ceremony for Excellence in Heavy Construction

Birmingham, AL – August 5, 2020 – Command Alkon, the Leading Supplier Collaboration Platform for Construction’s Heavy Work, plans to host a virtual ELEVATE Awards ceremony to celebrate individual and corporate excellence. Nominations are open, and all are invited to submit deserving employees, co-workers, and industry partners for the Best of the Year and Trendsetter Awards.

The Excellence and Trendsetter Awards celebrate companies that drive success in their organization through the use of technology, and Best of the Year Awards recognize individuals for their extraordinary performance.


“The ELEVATE Awards provide an excellent opportunity for our heavy work ecosystem to come together and recognize the incredible talent we have in our industry,” said Karli Langner, Marketing Specialist at Command Alkon. “During this time, it’s so important to Command Alkon to continue the level of support and appreciation that we have for the game-changing innovators in the construction space. Although we won’t be able to celebrate together this year, I’m thrilled that technology still gives us the opportunity to give recognition where its due.”

Previously, winners of the Trendsetter Awards were selected in-house based on key performance metrics. This year, nominations for this category of awards are extended to external industry partners, customers, and friends. Finalists for each award category will be selected and communicated in September, and one winner will be announced during the ceremony

This year, a Business Continuity award is being added to the Trendsetter Award category. This accolade recognizes unique and innovative approaches to keeping operations moving in the midst of an unplanned disruption; such as a pandemic, economic crisis, natural disaster, and more.

Australian supermarket chain rolls out AI-powered grocery carts

Grocery shoppers in Australia will soon be able to zip in and out of the store in record time, bypassing the lines for cashiers or self-checkout kiosks altogether. They can just walk in, make their selections, and walk out with their bags in hand.

The secret to this express shopping experience is the “Caper Cart,” an AI (artificial intelligence)-powered smart trolley from San Francisco-based Instacart. In its first deployment in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region, the system is being tested by Coles Supermarkets, a food and beverage retailer with more than 1,800 grocery and liquor stores throughout the country.

That year, the company launched its first product, an innovative on-demand packaging system designed to reduce cardboard waste (and the need for filler material) by creating a right-sized box for each shipment.

Now the company is ready for the next step: greening up the glue.
