Custom Cases And Mounts Keep Warehouse Workers' Mobile Devices Safe, Secure, And Accessible

Fleet and warehouse facilities utilize smartphones and tablets to oversee vital functions each day. While manufacturers track inventory and shipping dates with internet-enabled devices, fleet managers direct forklifts while using GPS capabilities. In such large scale environments, keeping track of mobile devices can be a burden for managers. In order to simultaneously secure and protect smartphones, Trident Case® has created the perfect solution – Kraken A.M.S. smartphone cases that physically lock onto any surface with an Arkon mount.

By using a custom-designed, physically locked-in mount, facility workers no longer have to keep their smartphones in their pockets or be burdened with uncomfortable armbands. Trident Case and Arkon mounts provide facilities with 25 mounts that can be configured with Trident’s Kraken A.M.S. Series cases. When combined, the cases and mounts provide superior protection and placement options to fit any need and occupy any space.

 For facility management scenarios, Arkon mounts include eight suction-based windshield and surface mounts, ten vehicle mounts that connect to either cup holders, seat rails, air vents and headrests for facility fleets, and three drill base mounts that provide a more permanent solution.

Trident’s Kraken A.M.S. Series is custom built to work with a variety of need-specific Arkon mounts. The Kraken A.M.S. Series is Trident’s most rugged line, independently tested to meet the Military Standard MIL-STD-810F for resistance to rain, dust, drops onto concrete and intense vibrations.

With solutions for the most popular smartphones and tablets from Apple, Blackberry, HTC, Nokia, Sony, LG, Motorola and Samsung, this partnership addresses the widest range of consumers possible. The mounts range from temporary to permanent, with a solution available for just about every surface type.

Arkon Resources, Inc. is a manufacturer and global supplier of car, home and office mobile mounting solutions designed for use with tablet computers, smartphones, cameras, portable GPS, satellite radios and other portable devices.

Each Trident case is available in a minimum of five colors and is constructed using bio-enhanced plastic that is biodegradable, compostable and recyclable. To browse the full lineup of Trident mobile device cases and Arkon mounts, visit http://www.tridentcase.com/company/arkon.

NanoLumens Releases Studio Pro LED Display Series For Broadcast Industry

 

NanoLumens® today announced its Studio Pro Series LED displays for broadcast studio applications. The breakthrough large-format displays address all of the challenges traditionally associated with LED broadcast display systems and promise to revolutionize the way studios design their sets.

NanoLumens formally introduced the Studio Pro Series last week at the Atlanta, Georgia regional section of the Society of Motion Picture & Television Engineers (SMPTE) September meeting, which they co-hosted with Sony at the NanoLumens corporate headquarters. More than 55 engineers attended the unveiling, which included a demonstration of the Studio Pro displays with a Sony 4K professional camera.

“The need to rely on bulky, heat generating, and noisy rear projection display systems is officially over,” asserted NanoLumens President & CEO Rick Cope. “Our new Studio Pro Series of LED broadcast displays allows designers to create sets in entirely new ways with displays that are less than 6 inches thick while cutting down on cost, heat, energy consumption, and maintenance issues.”

According to Cope, “The best way to prove a breakthrough technology is to subject it to real-world testing with the same high-end cameras and equipment and that is exactly what we did using Sony’s world-class professional cameras.”

The Studio Pro Series allows set designers to better create sets to more effectively engage their viewers while eliminating the single biggest performance issue that has limited the use of LED displays in broadcast applications — the moiré effect.
