PRODUCT OF THE WEEK

Voice-Capable Alarms Replace Ambiguous "Beep"
Sometimes a "beep" or "whoop" doesn't convey enough information to an operator of a machine. Floyd Bell Inc., manufacturer of popular Audiolarm® piezo electric buzzers, has solved this problem with a new line of high-quality digital audio alarms.

New Announcer™ Series alarms from Floyd Bell play a pre-recorded audio message up to ten seconds at 95 dB. The same size as a standard piezo alarm, they provide the ability to replace an ambiguous beep with voice instructions or warnings.

You have the ability to choose from standard warning messages ("Warning!"), send us your own file, or have Floyd Bell provide the production of the message at our in-house production studio! Announcer™ Series alarms come standard with quick connect terminals, a special grill designed for maximum acoustic output, and voltage range to fit your application.

Request a sample of the Announcer™ Series Alarms. For guaranteed delivery and unparalleled quality, you can count on Floyd Bell, the industry leader in audible alarm technology for over 30 years. floydbell.com


PROBLEM SOLVER SPOTLIGHT
Prepare to be Productive with Bimba Air Prep
Bimba Manufacturing recently helped one of its customers outfit an assembly line with a localized FRL system. The Bimba solution started with a 50-mm filter and mist-air lubricator. The filtered and lubricated air was then fed into a 2:1 booster device to ensure that variances in shop air pressure did not compromise tool functionality. The boosted air pressure was then stored in a 30-gallon reservoir to provide a significant local air supply. This allowed for multiple tools to run simultaneously for short periods and gave the booster time to relax, increasing its functional life. The stored air then ran through a second lubricator and regulator to ensure that consistent pressure was supplied before finally being linked to multiple tools at a valve manifold station.

With regular observation and maintenance, air preparation components promote continuous and smooth operation of assembly stations and can be an asset to virtually any manufacturing operation.

***Focusable Micro FlashLED Puts out over 4,300 Foot-candles *** TORRANCE, CA: The new Micro FlashLED is more powerful than most LED flashlights on the market today. It has a one-watt, 80-lumen LED chip that emits over 4,300 end foot-candles (4300cd) of bright Cool White (8000 Kelvin) light that's powerful enough and lasts long enough to light your way - all the way home. Other LED light colors are available for qualified customers. Micro FlashLED operates on three standard, replaceable, AAA-cell-type alkaline batteries. Since LEDs are 80-90% more energy efficient than incandescent lamps, the unit operates 20 - 30 times longer than the comparable incandescent flashlight, providing up to 96 hours or 4 days of continuous illumination at a diminishing light output rate. It retains 50% of its light output after one hour of continuous use. The exterior is made of anodized aluminum to resist corrosion, impact and scratching. ---LEDtronics, Inc. Read More

INDUSTRY TRENDS
***Diagnosing Poor Performance*** Keith Ayers, an international leadership and personnel development expert and author of "Engagement is Not Enough" says "Diagnosing the reasons for less than optimum performance is an important leadership skill, because when you are clearer about the cause, it is so much easier to implement the most effective solution. There are four primary reasons for poor performance: the employee is incapable of doing the work; they are not clear about what is expected; they are lacking the knowledge of how to perform; or the person lacks the motivation to perform. Once a leader has figured out why an employee's work is lacking, they can then solve the issue through a better project selection process, communication, education or engagement."
