Stock Management At Your Fingertips

Leave a comment

Barcodes were first invented after the second world war as a way of putting information about a product neatly on a small label. In this way, stock can be labelled effectively, with more information in the barcode than would otherwise be possible to put on the product. Barcodes mean that items can be tracked, and this not only helps with the inventory, but also with stock management.

There are many keys to running a successful business, and one of them is not to disappoint the customer. Building a business requires growth, which inevitably means reaching higher sales – to achieve this, a company needs to be aware of the demand to ensure they can generate sufficient supply – this is where barcodes come in handy. As a product is sold, data can be registered on the system so managers are aware of exactly when, where and who sold the product. This is not just important for supply and demand – it also goes further by recognising which products are the most and least successful. New products in line with successful ones can be developed, while others that clearly aren’t working can be discontinued. Additionally, one can see variations in regional and seasonal sales. All this information can help businesses tailor their products to customers and work out how best to boost sales.

This kind of effective labelling is the area of expertise of the company South East Labels. This is a company with over 20 years of experience in producing labelling solutions. Whatever your product, South East Labels can provide the labelling facilities. If you have a growing business and are looking for further success, then barcodes could be a useful tool – for everything from barcode printers to labels, get in touch with South East Labels for some advice.

Both Whaling and Ulyatt will be working together to lead the company. Collectively, with the team, they will forge a strategic plan focusing on continued growth, product and service expansion and infrastructure scalability in the business.

Barry Whaling, CEO, said, “We are very excited to have Theresa Ulyatt join the Smarter Systems team.

I believe Theresa is the ideal person to assist me in leading Smarter Systems forward and I’m honored to get the chance to work with her. As far as I’m concerned, the best is yet to come.”

Prior to joining Smarter Systems, Ulyatt held an executive leadership role with NouvEON, a management-consulting firm based in Charlotte where she led Strategy and Talent. Theresa also spent time with Wachovia/Wells Fargo in IT and HR Recruiting leadership. While still in the Northeast, Theresa was the Founder and CEO of two Executive Search firms in the NY/NJ metropolitan area.

These fundamentals served the company well. In its first year of business the company far exceeded all benchmarks for revenue set at inception. In its second year, it doubled in gross revenue and kept expenses impressively low. In these challenging economic times, Whaling feels grateful to a committed team of employees and loyal customers who make it happen.

Information Security Experts commissum Welcomes the Cyber Crime Classification But Warns Businesses May Not Be Able to Improve

Leave a comment

The National Security Council has released its security strategy that classifies cyber crime as one of the four highest priority risks.

Titled ‘A strong Britain in an age of uncertainty’, the 39-page document looks at and evaluates all levels of national defences. It claims that the four highest priority risks for the next five years include: ‘international terrorism, cyber attack by other states and by organised crime and terrorists, international military crises and major accidents or natural hazards’.

commissum’s Managing Director Martin Finch made the following comment:

“Attacks to the national infrastructure are now becoming more sophisticated. These are not being just initiated by teenagers looking for a challenge but by groups of state sponsored professionals in a number of countries that are using the complex connectivity of modern systems to access information or systems for economic advantage or hostile aims.

“Therefore more needs to be done to protect us from the increasing cyber attacks but the current economic climate, or even the perception of this may make it difficult for many organisations to increase or even maintain expenditure for information and IT security.”

This has also been recognised by the Centre for the Protection of National Infrastructure (CPNI) which is providing organisations and companies with protective security advice to reduce risks. Their top ten security guidelines provide protective security points which have not changed for some time, but are still valid and are becoming much more important with the increasing sophistication of attacks.

The CPNI have established a unique partnership program with expert security consultancy companies such as commissum to work with businesses to help find innovative and holistic ways to address vulnerabilities and increase security with minimum investment or, in some cases, decreasing operational costs.

The commissum information security advisory services which include risk assessments, audits and security health checks, will help organisations to prioritise the selection and deployment of defensive measures in the context of the risk attitude and culture of the organisation.

Organisation Materials Help Businesses Succeed

Leave a comment

Every successful businessperson knows how important it is to stay organised. When things are not organised, they can go missing. It is so easy to confuse one white folder for another, or one manila envelope for something else. The problem is that such things sometimes contain extremely important documents. An unorganised business will never reach its potential until things are in order. Another key component to a successful business is name recognition. The more clients see your name or your company’s name, the more they will be likely to remember it, feel comfortable with it and want to do business with you again.

Labelling the products you sell and everything you give your clients with your name or your business’s name is one way to establish name recognition. Labelling things in your office with appropriate names will help everyone stay organised and prevent important things from being misplaced. One company is helping businesses and businesspeople stay organised and promote their names – South East Labels has been meeting many industries’ label and labelling system needs for the last twenty years. They have plain and printed labels, barcode labels, hot foil labels, label software, label printers and every labelling product you could imagine.

South East Labels offers printed inkjet and laser labels that can display your name, your company’s name, a logo and whatever else you want. Because each business is distinct, a wide selection of colours, materials and sizes are available. They also offer security labels in a variety of models, designs and colours. Security and asset tracking labels are available in aluminium foil, white or clear vinyl, silver polyester and more. The friendly staff will help you decide which model best suits your needs.

You can trust South East Labels for all your label, labelling product and barcode needs. Successful businesspeople understand the importance of organisation and name recognition. South East Labels has the tools to help make your business successful. When you need labelling products, a barcode printer, printed or plain labels, or any barcode or labelling products, they have what you need and are ready to help.

New TROY Printers Meet Government Requirements For High Security Printing

Leave a comment

TROY Group, Inc., a Worldwide Leader in Secure on-Demand Printing Solutions, MICR Toner Cartridges, and Check Printing Programs, announces the new TROY SecureDXi 3015 printer to its line of security printing solutions. Based on the popular HP LaserJet Enterprise P3010 printer series, TROY’s SecureDXi 3015 printers provide a fast 42 page per minute print speed, robust HP LaserJet workgroup printing capability, and a complete set of TROY features for securing all aspects of the print environment.

“Government agencies and other organizations throughout the world are faced with new challenges relating to document fraud prevention and protecting confidential information”, states Larry Landtiser, Senior Vice President and General Manager of TROY Group. “To address this need we drew from our full array of proven software, firmware, electromechanical, and secure toner technologies to create the TROY SecureDXi printers, the most advanced secure printing solution available.”

TROY SecureDXi 3015 printers are configured to help organizations manage all four dimensions of security defined in the HP Security Printing Framework: securing the printing device, protecting the information on the network, securing the document, and monitoring the printing process. To secure the printer, TROY includes seven security features including the TROY 3-positon key control. Using this feature, IT department managers can lock the printer from all print jobs, enable the full array of TROY secure printing features, or set the printer to only allow standard HP features. To secure high value security paper, all SecureDXi printers are configured with TROY’s latest high strength paper tray locks. Print information is protected through print file encryption and in-printer decryption technology. Other information security features include TROY’s exclusive hard disk lock which prevents print jobs from being stored on the printer’s internal storage device when the printer is set to the TROY Secure mode. Finished document security is supported by ten TROY security features including TROYMark™ variable data watermarking, TROY copy evident pantograph technology, and TROY patented Security Toner technology. A TROY Security Toner cartridge is included with every TROY SecureDXi printer. Print monitoring is enabled with the TROY print audit solution which captures a record of every print job received by the printer.

TROY offers four different models of configured SecureDXi 3015 printers. To assure chain of custody control, TROY SecureDXi printers can only be purchased through TROY and select TROY certified resellers.

Quality Printing With South East Labels

Leave a comment

It is important for a business to establish a name for itself. This can be done by delivering quality merchandise and clearly displaying your company’s information. Customers never buy an item without a clearly marked label – just as a professional business card lends credibility to a businessperson, labels give weight to products. The more appealing a label is to the eye, the more likely it is to attract customers. An enthralling presentation will help to reaffirm your status among, and even ahead of, the competition.

South East Labels is based in London and has firmly established itself as a reliable company. The business is centered on label printing. They produce high-quality labels for clients, both companies and individuals, across the country. There are many different options to satisfy each customer’s particular requirements.

Hot-foil labels are among the range, and many foil colours are available in metallic and holographic material. These help to create a bright finish and an appealing label. The dazzling display aside, two other advantages of selecting this type are the low costs and the short print runs.

Those who want to produce their own labels will require a label printer. The range includes the most advanced label printing technology from market-leading manufacturers. It includes a comprehensive range of thermal and thermal-transfer label printers. Short-run, full-colour digital label printing is also possible with the selection of Primera printers, inks and labels. All the products are fully supported with an optional onsite breakdown cover. The targeted response time is 8 hours.

It is exciting to be leading a company partnered with MSC that is committed to helping organisations use state of the art simulation tools which gives them a competitive advantage and sustainable return on investment”

From the basics of inkjet and laser printer paper labels to fun bubble badges and secure barcode labels, SEL will be more than able to meet customer needs.

With more than 2,000 materials and 200 sizes to choose from , South East Labels is the most comprehensive outlet for labelling needs. They manufacture and supply labels, barcode products, digital printers, ribbons, label printers, security and asset-tracking labels, scanners and verifiers. Label materials include polyester, propylene and vinyl for electronics, horticultural products and household goods.

They are available either on rolls for use through thermal transfer printers or on sheets for laser printers. SEL also makes anti-microbial material for products requiring hygienic labelling. Silver-ion technology is used to develop a set of labels for pharmaceutical sectors. This material restricts bacterial growth, including MRSA, e-coli and salmonella.

The material they’re made of is not transferable, making it difficult to remove and easy to check if they have been fiddled with.

Using high-quality plain labels on rolls, SEL manufactures a vast range of sizes that can be put through thermal transfer or thermal direct printers.

South East Labels Re-Launches Cryogenic Label Line

South East Labels has recently decided to re-launch its cryogenic and anti-microbial label line that features improvements and cost reductions. This cryogenic label line has been specially designed for use under research and medical conditions that require exposure to the cryogenic temperatures of liquid nitrogen. Cryogenic and Anti-Microbial Labels.

South East Labels Re-Launches Cryogenic Label Line

South East Labels has featured cryogenic labels in its product line for some time. These are special labels that use special adhesives and materials that can sustain adherence to surfaces at the freezing cryogenic temperatures of liquid nitrogen. Now is the time for a re-launch of its cryogenic line with an upgraded production process and new materials that allow them to offer new anti-microbial features.

The labels are traditionally supplied on rolls for use with thermal transfer printing devices although they can also be used on sheets in regular laser printers if a thermal printer is not available. Labels are frequently used on plain or pre-printer formats and can be supplied in any size and shape according to the individual specifications of the customer. For the latter, the company offers top-of-the-line machines that can take care of producing quality print jobs: the print-head resolution range for these machines is from 200 – 600 dots per inch (the latter particularly useful when high definition or very small text prints are required).

Innovation: Anti-Microbial Material

One of the most important selling points in this new line of cryogenic labels is the incorporation of anti-microbial material in the production process. This innovative material is based on the silver ion technology and has been developed to specifically target the needs of the pharmaceutical sector, though it is clear that it can solve the operational needs of any sector that requires hygienic labelling. The new material allows the company to produce labels that actively inhibit the growth of bacteria which, in turn, minimizes the risk of cross-contamination. So far, the material has boasted a very promising 99.99% effectiveness in inhibiting the growth of a wide range of harmful bacteria and funghi, including the likes of MRSA, E-Coli and Salmonella.

The Company: South East Labels

South East Labels is a company, with over 20 years of experience, that produces and distributes labels, barcode labels for barcode printing, digital printers, ribbons, label printers, security and asset-tracking labels, scanners, verifiers and more to a wide variety of industries.

CIO Assessment Program Launched by Click Consulting

Click Consulting has created a new service helping small businesses understand the way that technology fits inside of their business, the CIO Assessment. After looking at the way technology was treated inside of their own client’s businesses, Click Consulting decided that they had to develop a system of connecting business goals and IT so that technology was no longer overhead but rather a driver of business.

“In today’s climate of tighter spending and shrinking margins, IT can become a true driver of business growth if the appropriate technologies are in place,” said Jeff Lenning, president, Click Consulting. “Our CIO Assessment program helps companies analyze their current situations and makes recommendations based on each company’s unique requirements. We keep up with the latest technologies so that our clients can focus on running their businesses.”

Most small businesses spend their time thinking about their business, not the technology that runs it. At the same time, most managed services companies just maintain the IT infrastructure without thinking about the business it exists within. Few IT service firms ever work with small businesses from a business perspective; instead everything becomes a maintenance issue so growth never occurs as a result of IT spending. Click Consulting decided that this downward spiral needed to stop.

The CIO Assessment process starts with in-depth interviews of major stakeholders and decision makers at the company to understand the business choices that are being made. Then, after a deep inspection of the technology currently used at the company, Click Consulting delivers a report complete with suggestions about how to better align technology and the business. The assessment becomes a roadmap, helping guide the growth and profits of the company over time.

About Click Consulting
Click Consulting is a full service IT and Web Development company based in Irvine, Calif. Focusing on small and growing companies, Click provides remote IT support, on-site tech support, self-managed websites, and fully custom web projects. Trusted by industry leading companies to manage their business critical networks and applications, Click Consulting specializes in Tech Support, Web Development and Computer Consulting.

Belden’s New Adaptive Enclosure Heat Containment System “Greens” The Data Center By Slashing Cooling Costs

Belden (NYSE: BDC), a world leader in the development of signal transmission products for industrial, enterprise, building management, broadcast, and security applications, has introduced a new adaptive enclosure heat containment (AEHC) system for data centers that will ensure the entire room is normalized with cold air to just the right amount, with no wasteful oversupply of cooling.

Carl Bruckner, General Manager of Belden’s Cable Management Group, states: “The AEHC system is a key addition to Belden’s enclosure products, allowing our partners to effectively manage the deployment of high density, high heat load equipment in both new and existing data centers.”

In the new Belden system, a pressure reading made by a sensor inside the enclosure plenum modulates the rotational speed of the fans in the two cartridges mounted atop the enclosure. The speed is varied so that they pull out exactly the correct amount of air from the enclosure and send it back to the air conditioner return via a ceiling plenum.

The process of cooling enclosures in a data center today wastes excessive amounts of energy, largely due to oversupply of cold air by computer room air conditioner (CRAC) units attempting to compensate inefficiency in the enclosure cooling process.

A recent study on 19 large computer rooms found that, on average, the amount of cold air supplied to a data center room is 2.6 times the amount of cold air actually consumed by the IT load. The CRAC is oversupplying the room with cold air to overcome both bypass leakage and the effects of hot/cold mixing. The result is a significant waste of energy and dollars.

However, because of its innovative heat containment design, the new Belden AEHC system overcomes these problems. Since it completely separates the hot and cold side of operations, the room will be normalized with cool air which never experiences mixing with exhaust heat from the enclosure. The bypass problem is eliminated, too.

There is no need to oversupply cold air to the room.

The physical position of the CRAC unit and its proximity to the enclosures are no longer a concern, a fact which greatly simplifies the challenge of data room infrastructure design. Cool air can be fed to the computer room via a raised floor or an overhead duct which enhances your freedom of infrastructure design.

When designing a totally new data center with the AEHC system, you can now install bigger and fewer CRAC units, instead of relying on many smaller units that are less efficient. And when retrofitting an existing room, you can use the same amount — and same type — of cooling equipment currently installed. In either scenario, Belden’s advanced management software will help you better control your IT environment by giving you real time assessment of enclosure cooling load or demand.

You will be able to deploy more IT load in the same room, a great efficiency benefit in today’s economy. If you have space left in your enclosures but aren’t deploying more devices there because your cooling system is already at full capacity, you can retrofit Belden’s new heat containment system on those enclosures that have the highest heat loads, to be able to host even more IT equipment.

As a bonus, the AEHC system increases the temperature differential between the inlet and outlet temperatures of the CRAC unit for much greater operational efficiency, giving you an important savings in energy consumption. With no mixing of hot and cold air, it is possible to raise the temperature of the cooling air supplied to enclosures to be closer to the ASHRAE recommended upper limit. The cold/hot air paths are fully separated by the system, so the CRAC supplies less air to the room at a higher temperature, and still assures better cooling with no hot spots.
