TGI To Exhibit Enhanced Enterprise 21 ERP Software

Technology Group International (TGI) will debut new features of its Enterprise 21 enterprise resource planning (ERP) application at the company's annual users conference on 5-7 May 2010 in Missouri. TGI's conference is designed for functional-, technical- and executive-level users of the company's Enterprise 21 ERP software.

The conference also gives TGI customers the opportunity to communicate direct feedback to TGI personnel to serve as a basis for future software enhancements and customer-support improvements. TGI debuted Enterprise 21 7.1 to its customers at its 2009 annual users conference. For 2010, TGI will be showcasing new updates to the Enterprise 21 Workbench Designer, web-based Enterprise 21 features and automated product recall management functionality.

Gill To Exhibit Ultrasonic Anemometers At AMS

Gill Instruments will exhibit its product range at the AMS Annual Meeting in Atlanta, USA on 17-21 January 2010. The range will include Gill's two- and three-axis ultrasonic anemometers and weather station, with a live demonstration of the Windsonic anemometer. Gill has announced a number of products for 2010, with new versions of the Windsonic Anemometer and Metpak compact weather station due for launch early in the year.

The Gill Windsonic anemometer is said to offer all of the benefits of ultrasonic wind-measurement technology at an affordable price. The new variant of the Windsonic will incorporate enhancements to allow use in a broader range of applications and environments.

The Gill Metpak is a compact, multi-sensor weather station, offering advanced measurement of the most essential weather-station parameters. The new version of the Metpak will incorporate additional sensors to enhance the functionality of the weather station, enabling use in a number of different applications.

Flir To Exhibit Infrared Cameras At Maintec

Flir will be showing its infrared cameras at Maintec 2010, each with added-value features to provide access to new applications. The programme applies to 40 different infrared camera models, from the low-cost compact range to the flagship professional units. The mid-range T-Series includes new features such as IR video streaming, periodic storage and new lenses, and can also be used for basic analysis and mainstream predictive-maintenance work.

The Flir T-Series comprises 10 models, with three appearing for the first time at Maintec 2010. These cameras are designed for those who need advanced functionality but not the sophistication of the Flir P-Series. Their thermal sensitivity is 0.05C across a wide temperature measurement range. To tailor temperature-measurement readings to the application, this addition offers a range of measurement modes. The Flir T365 and the T425 have been introduced to reduce energy consumption through highly efficient electrical and mechanical infrared faultfinding.

Features such as autofocus and zoom lens enhance the flexibility of these models. Ergonomic design combined with low-weight, picture-in-picture fusion, touch-screen, tiltable lens unit, laser pointer and interchangeable optics complete the package. Flir will also be showing its gas-detection cameras. The models can also see, measure and visualise temperature. In addition to gas and VOC leak detection, these fully radiometric cameras can be used to detect electrical and mechanical faults, and for building inspection.

Hamamatsu To Exhibit CCD Board-Level Cameras

Hamamatsu will be introducing the C10990 series of OEM CCD board-level cameras at the Photonex 2009 Exhibition. The cameras feature high sensitivity and high resolution and include the latest 1.3 million pixel 2/3in progressive scan interline front illuminated CCD, circuitry and lens mount all on one board.

Also on show will be the latest range of semiconductor detectors featuring photon detection capability, the S10362-33 series multi-pixel photon counters (MPPC). This device uses a Geiger-mode avalanche photodiode structure for ultra-low-level light detection, and the active area has been increased from 1mm2 to 9mm2.

Other products include the C10988MA, an ultra-compact spectrometer built using MOEMS technology. The C10988MA is a device measuring 27.6mm x 13mm x 16.8mm, which was developed for use in portable and hand-held devices, where a standard mini spectrometer would be too large and consume too much power.

Solido To Exhibit SD300 Pro At PTC User Forum

Solido, a specialist in the desktop 3D printing of physical models, is to display its SD300 Pro at the PTC User Forum on 7-10 June in Orlando, Florida. The cost-effective, time-efficient and intuitive SD300, which will be found on Booth 423, has already been installed in hundreds of sites, according to the company.

The SD300 Pro, which will be introduced at less than USD10,000 (GBP6,300), uses layers of firm but flexible engineered plastics. The finished models resemble injected plastic parts and can be drilled, sanded or painted as desired. Output from the SD300 Pro can be designed to fold, allowing for model manipulation.

The product is also capable of producing transparent models. The SD300 Pro will allow industrial design companies and engineering companies to prepare proof-of-concept modelling, ergonomic evaluations and marketing tools. It will also serve as an advanced educational tool for universities and technical colleges, according to Solido.
