Today's torch/ Tomorrow's weapon

February 3rd 2008 03:09
When it comes to the flashlight, common to some civilians as a "torch", there are ranges of weapons we can choose from. Tactical lights are produced to aid any officer on the beat, security, armed forces on duty and anyone who wants to secure their homes and families. So why do we need such powerful light that can take out an eye like a lightsaber? Simply because we can!

Lexus technology…can’t wait for more

August 29th 2006 02:35


Technology is moving very fast in the car maker industry…..for Toyota it’s like a mantra to have the state of the art technology embedded in its cars. The latest technology added to its ample collection, it’s the rear collision warning system. The technology will be added to the Lexus range, already crowded with technological advances….hybrid technology, 3-mode air suspension, power door/trunk closers, 30GB HDD navigation system, Bluetooth, backup camera, 450-watt Mark Levinson sound system with 19 speakers, dynamic radar-based cruise control and Intuitive Park Assist.

Ford’s Hybrid Technology

July 14th 2006 14:38


Since the US is turning its head towards the hybrid engines for cars, it makes sense that Ford is trying to build a position in its home market. Ford is conducting a Hybrid technology clinic in Las Vegas for officials and taxi industry representatives. The company is trying to build a position in the market of state owned fleets and public transport.

World Cup’s Robots

June 22nd 2006 14:12


One of the technology attractions of the 2006 World Cup is the use of robots for security purposes. The robots developed by the company Robowatch based in Berlin are in charge of the surveillance of underground parking lots and the field were the sponsors and VIPs are located. One of the robots OFRO is using technology used in Iraq for military purposes; this robot is in charge of the outdoor surveillance and has thermal cameras and sensors that can detect radiation, viruses and chemical agents. The robots work using GPS and can be directed specifically to a suspicious area.

Logistics and IT technology Strategies I

May 24th 2006 12:05
Since I’m very interested in the logistics field and this blog is about technology, I would try to blend the best of both words in five core issues, the first of these issues is Customer Relationship Management (CRM).

Biodegradable packaging materials

May 16th 2006 13:16
The other day I heard somebody talking about biodegradable packaging materials, despite this is not a new idea, I got pretty impressed when I saw a chocolate box inner package (those little trays that companies use to put their fancy chocolates in boxes) melts in the water in less than 15 minutes.

Nowadays, that we are looking for environmental friendly technologies, I want to go a step forward and ask for a packaging material that at the end could be used to feed our pets…imagine a pizza box that can be transformed in food for your fish…of course you will have fish food for several months but the idea is still good.

Green Logistics

May 6th 2006 12:14
As technology advances it improves communications amongst the supply chain members and a strong relationship can be developed bringing more interdependence. Since standards like ISO 14001 evolve in the logistics context, advances in environmental strategies can migrate from company to company as they are required by any participant at the end of the chain or by the market itself.

Initiatives like the SmartWaySM partnership, developed in the U.S. by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Business for Social Responsibility, the American Trucking Associations, and the freight industry, are the latest efforts in the logistics field to reduce its environmental impact. By 2012, this initiative aims to reduce between 33 - 66 million metric tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and up to 200,000 tons of nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions per year. At the same time, the initiative will result in fuel savings of up to 150 million barrels of oil annually. According to SmartWaySM under this partnership shippers will use carriers from the Partnership with reduced emissions at their docking facilities. Carriers are encouraged to develop innovative environmental strategies and environmentally friendly technologies such as tire-inflation systems, super single tires, low-viscosity engine lubricants, idling reduction equipment/policies and speed management practices into their fleet operations.

RFID security technology

May 4th 2006 23:19

Since RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) tags have gain many adepts, it is crucial to develop some mechanism that assures the security of the buyers when they have left the store. Due to the fact that tags can be read from 30 feet away, the security threat is high.

Automatic tyre inflation system technology

April 30th 2006 11:04
Despite that the Automatic tyre inflation system is not a brand new technology, is not well known by many people. Nowadays that the society in general has a rising concern about environmental issues, this particular technology represents a huge impact in the industry. The logistics activities impact the environment by dropping gas emissions and by consuming petrol and tyres, these effects can be reduced by the implementation of this technology. Cost reduction can be generated for the companies by reducing tire costs, preventing roadside downtime, extending tread life, increasing fuel efficiency and enabling longer maintenance intervals.

According to Aircargo an automatic tyre inflation system maker, the system checks inflation levels for each tire at the valve stem so as not to extend the tire pressure out to the hub. With the system, if a hose is leaking, the system will alert the driver and the tire will continue to fill with air and not go flat. Simply remove the bad hose and the other tires will remain serviced by the system.
