PROBLEM SOLVER SPOTLIGHT

Federal Signal's Breakthrough LED Technology Reduces Cost by 50-60%

Models 191XL, 225XL, 27XL and 2000 Series LED feature eXtreme Light Technology (XLT™), a high-intensity LED array that optimizes light output with superior lens fill. In addition to outperforming conventional LEDs with increased illumination and greater versatility, these lights also offer the vibration and shock resistance, reduced power consumption and extended service life that is inherent to LED technology. The costs of servicing an incandescent signal light, including replacement parts and service man hours can be two to three times the cost of installing a new Federal Signal LED with XLT™. Available in both DC and AC voltages, variety of lens colors and multiple mounting configurations. www.federalsignal-indust.com

HOT NEW PRODUCTS - Editor's Choice
***Electronic Tool Crib Keeps Track of Equipment*** OAKS, PA: The Penco Smart Tool Crib(TM) system permits authorized employees to log into the system using their existing ID cards and to select specific tools or equipment from compartments identified on a flat panel monitor. After successful login, the doors open automatically permitting removal of the items. Closure of the door identifies the compartment as empty, and records the identity of the person who accessed it. User access, duration of possession, and time of return are all logged, which in turn support a number of reporting options. Administrators can open all doors in seconds, or lock down the system altogether. The system shown incorporates a mix of 48" tall 2- and 4-tier compartments accessed using a standard keyboard and card swipe interface. Optional configurations incorporate a fully integrated touch panel monitor and control cabinet. ---Penco Products, Inc. Read More

***Solution for Area Detection & Measurement SUNNYVALE, CA: The IDEC-DS AS1 or DS1 Area Sensors accurately detect or measure slim or small objects. With the respective ability to detect objects as small as a 0.2mm thickness, and to detect and measure objects of different shapes and sizes, these sensors are perfect for a wide range of applications. AS1 photoelectric light grids utilize a precise crossed-beam detection method that enables detection of even the slimmest objects, with 0.2 mm thickness, inside a 100 mm height, over operating distances reaching 2.1m between emitter and receiver. Thanks to a short response time, the ultra-compact AS1 light grids are just the area sensor for fast conveyor lines or for applications requiring detection and counting of objects in random positions, such as sheet (paper, wood, metal) or envelope detection. DS1 is available with 150mm height, 5mm resolution and an operating distance of 2.1m. A response time of less than 3ms, allows installation on the fastest machines and processes. ---IDEC Corp.

INDUSTRY TRENDS
***More Global Trade/Supply Chain Predictions*** Though a number of environmental regulations have been implemented globally over the past year, a majority of manufacturers are lagging in terms of demonstrating and maintaining compliance with new trade laws, such as the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) regulations in effect in China, Japan and the European Union. Non-compliance with these directives can result in stalled supply chains, lost revenue, fines and damage to corporate reputation. While many companies claim to have met certification requirements, others may not be up to par and will need to make further adjustments to their manufacturing processes. Make sure that an internal team or outside trade specialist is actively managing compliance with these regulations as laws may evolve. Validate that your supply chain partners are shipping RoHS-compliant products and that you maintain an audit trail to track and capture data pertaining to compliance measures you have taken.
Sourcing Shifts from Asia to the Americas. Coinciding with the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, media attention will focus on China as the world's next potential "bubble" and cause many manufacturers to shift sourcing strategies from Asia to the Americas. The falling U.S. dollar, limited free trade agreements, high energy costs, and rising production costs in Asia will all contribute to companies reevaluating extended supply chains and moving sources closer to their home markets. In addition, shareholders and board members could question their company's reliance on China and the Asia region should any further negative headlines arise regarding quality issues or if China receives bad press on the handling of protestors and dissidents prior to the Olympics. While opportunities still exist in Asia, Mexico will become an increasingly popular source for manufactured goods as companies compete on time-to-market strategies, seek financial advantages found in Mexico's multiple free trade agreements and capitalize on Mexico's investment incentives, streamlined customs processes and abundant English-speaking workforce.
