South Carolina State Ports Authority first to use new Magnetic Mount Client Bridge to speed up its container handling and reduce maintenance

LONGMONT, Colorado – December 7, 2011 – Fidelity Comtech, Inc. (FCI), the leading provider of extended wireless solutions for the maritime port, rail, and auto processing industries, today announced a new product that extends wireless coverage for vehicle mounted computer tablets for workers in container yards. (see photos attached)

The Magnetic Mount Client Bridge (MMCB, model FCI-2600) is designed to provide vehicular access on any IEEE 802.11 wireless network. The MMCB allows multiple IP-networked devices on a vehicle to share a single wireless connection, while simultaneously improving the performance and reliability of the wireless link.

Often times, port operators have attempted to use either a PCMCIA wireless card or the wireless card internal to their vehicle-mounted computers, but the steel of the vehicle cab obstructs the RF signal and reduces network performance. Furthermore, that approach involves using fragile pigtail connectors, which are a constant source of reliability problems. By putting the entire wireless router along with the antennas in a robust, weatherproof enclosure outside the vehicle, the MMCB improves network reliability. The interface to the MMCB is a single Ethernet connection and the unit is powered directly from vehicle power – either 12V or 24V.

The MMCB also includes an embedded GPS device, which enables port operators to monitor the location of their vehicles as they move throughout the yard and map the wireless coverage.

The FCI-2600 features a high performance wireless router serving as the client bridge. It has an output power of up to 26 dBm – four times the output power of a typical laptop — and has two internal omnidirectional antennas, each with 5.5 dBi of gain, that enable it to close much more challenging wireless links than most conventional laptops.

The South Carolina State Ports Authority (SCSPA) is the first to use Fidelity-Comtech’s MMCB. SCSPA has been testing the units operationally for more than three months and recently placed the first production order for the product. The port uses the MMCB to send and receive work orders to their mobile workforce in their hostlers and rubber tired gantries. Previously, the port had addressed the connectivity problem by purchasing individual components and configuring them into a home grown solution.

“Our equipment operators say that on a scale of 1-to-10, our wireless coverage for vehicle mounted computer tablets went from a 2 to an 8 or 9 with Fidelity-Comtech’s Mag Mount,” says Kevin Craft, SCSPA’s network administrator. “This is a huge win for our IT staff because the cost in man-hours for the configuration and maintenance of our home grown solution has been reduced significantly.” Additionally, he says, the MMCB has eliminated the burden of having to purchase and maintain components from multiple vendors for the home grown solution.

Craft further notes that SCSPA no longer has to worry about compatibility and upgrade issues with the tablet style computers used in its yard machines, hostlers, top lifters and trucks. “By placing Fidelity Comtech’s MMCB on the outside of the machines, we got a big improvement in the wireless coverage for our vehicle mounted tablet computers,” he says.

Another advantage of using the MMCB, in conjunction with Fidelity Comtech’s Phocus Array antenna system is technical support. “Fidelity Comtech’s support for their equipment is top-notch and knowing that I only need one contact for support issues can be critical in our business,” says Craft.

“We are delighted about the performance of our Magnetic Mount Client Bridge at SCSPA, which speeds up their container handling and reduces their maintenance,” says Joe Carey, President of Fidelity Comtech. “We are currently developing an option that will allow our customers to leverage the built in GPS to track mobile assets on the terminal in real time on a live map. The MMCB will not only improve the connectivity of the vehicle mounted client to the 802.11 b/g wireless network, but will allow terminals to analyze vehicle movement to help optimize their usage.”

Fidelity Comtech, Inc.

Fidelity Comtech, Inc. is headquartered in Longmont, Colorado. Since 2001, Fidelity Comtech has been a premier provider of radio frequency (RF) solutions, and custom wireless solutions for commercial and government customers, including JAXPORT in Florida; the Port of Charleston, South Carolina; the Port of San Juan, Puerto Rico; Halterm Container Terminal, Nova Scotia; Sea Freight at Port Everglades, and the Ceres Global container terminal at the Port of New Orleans, Louisiana.

FCI’s Phocus Array System and GeoLocation products use flexible Vector Modulated Technology™ based phased array antenna system (FlexVMTTM), which are changing and improving the way the world uses wireless communications.

Fidelity Comtech is a leader in outdoor extended wireless systems. Its products deliver the flexibility of traditional Wi‐Fi IEEE 802.11 wireless products with the capability on a packet‐by‐packet basis to dynamically “steer, shape, and size” extended signal beams for miles while deriving standoff location information about the Wi‐Fi client.

Solution includes global repository for detailed product traceability and genealogy data; includes processes spanning from manufacturing operations to product supply networks

LONG BEACH, CA – November 15, 2011 – Apriso, a leading provider of manufacturing software solutions, today announced a new software and services solution, Global Trace and Genealogy, referred to as GTAG™. This new Apriso offering – with open integration with other systems along the supply chain – can deliver the necessary manufacturing intelligence and product genealogy data to improve accuracy and power traceability initiatives across global manufacturing operations.

Industry research suggests a key impediment to success with product traceability initiatives is the proliferation of multiple data repositories for manufacturing product genealogy, traceability and quality intelligence, resulting in poor data accuracy and untimely access to data. Apriso has overcome this challenge with a collaborative solution built on the FlexNet platform for global manufacturing operations management. This platform-centric solution serves as a track and trace “hub” that spans the needs of manufacturers and supply chain partners. This highly flexible approach to global traceability and genealogy helps manufacturers to:

• Improve collaboration – between manufacturers and trade partners to better coordinate corrective actions, reducing manual and time-consuming tasks prone to error

• Centralize track and trace reporting – to provide better insight into product genealogy and packaging hierarchy at any time

• Handle high volumes of traceability data – without impacting operational performance, as data is received from plants, suppliers and logistics providers

• Capture detailed global traceability and genealogy data automatically – from multiple sources, to help reduce risk, protect brand equity and meet compliance objectives

• Establish unique product identification schemes – that utilize existing RFID and barcode scanning technologies, leveraging these existing investments

• Address the escalating challenge of counterfeit products – by providing readily available, detailed product pedigrees to demonstrate product authenticity

“Few enterprise application software providers offer a global repository for product genealogy and traceability data capable of spanning both internal systems and complex supply chain operations,” explained Chris Will, chief technology officer at Apriso. “Yet this capability is absolutely required to ensure brand protection while minimizing warranty claims, managing Maintenance, Repair and Operations (MRO) and complying with domestic and international laws required to maintain regulatory compliance. Apriso’s GTAG solution enables these capabilities.”

Ensuring brand integrity is a critical, visible benchmark of a manufacturer’s success. Apriso’s solution for global traceability provides a framework for collaboration and visibility to perform detailed quality investigations and root cause analysis. With a unified data model that captures and persists standardized data across production, quality, maintenance, inventory and along the supply chain, manufacturers can more effectively take corrective actions and perform continuous improvement that addresses both structured and unstructured quality activities and operations processes.

Apriso’s GTAG solutions will be offered with specific, industry focused best practices so as to offer more capabilities “out-of-the-box.” Initial solutions will be made available for manufacturers in the hi-tech, automotive, aerospace and defense, consumer goods and other industries.

62 percent year-to-date revenue growth driven by multi-industry growth strategy and diverse manufacturing operations and supply chain product breadth

LONG BEACH, CA – November 10, 2011 – Apriso, a leading provider of manufacturing software solutions, today announced continued strong revenue growth in the third quarter of 2011. Year-to-date revenue through three quarters grew by 62 percent on a year-over-year basis. Third quarter software revenues grew by 44% on a year-over-year basis. Growth was driven by new customers making enterprise decisions to standardize on Apriso as their platform for global manufacturing operations management. Key third quarter orders came from customers in the aerospace, consumer goods and high-tech industries.

“Apriso continues to achieve significant revenue growth by engaging with global manufacturers seeking scalable, enterprise solutions to drive greater efficiency, performance and continuous improvement across their extended global enterprises,” stated Jim Henderson, president and CEO of Apriso. “Our strategy to deliver a global solution serving multiple diverse industries has played a critical role in our growth and market share expansion.”

Multi-Industry Strategy Drives Continued Growth

FlexNet’s ability to address the various challenges faced across multiple industries has contributed to strong revenue growth, as evidenced by the firm’s continuous expansion over the past 5 years. All targeted industries have grown in 2011.

“Manufacturing Execution System (MES) companies have traditionally approached the market focused on one industry or manufacturing model. FlexNet’s unique ability to deliver a core solution that can be deployed across multiple industries and manufacturing models has been critical to our ability to maintain consistent growth in these turbulent economic times,” continued Mr. Henderson.

Customer Success

“MES companies have traditionally been challenged when implementing their systems across a large number of sites, limiting their ability to deliver a full scope of benefits to their customers. Our success in large scale deployments has contributed significantly to our market success,” said Jim Henderson.

Of particular note is the fact that during the third quarter 11 “go lives” occurred for a single customer. All 11 unique sites went live successfully on the same day, a new Apriso record and something quite unusual in the MES marketplace.

A growing number of manufacturers continue to select Apriso’s FlexNet as their global manufacturing platform to improve manufacturing efficiency, manage materials and suppliers, improve quality and provide enterprise visibility into manufacturing. Ease of implementation has also contributed to Apriso’s growth, as evidenced by the large number of new “go lives” that occurred in the third quarter and across all of 2011.

Customer Awards

Proof of Apriso’s ability to support global roll outs came in the third quarter when one of its customers, Cummins Inc., was awarded the Manufacturing IT Award of the year at the Strategic Manufacturing Awards 2011, held in Düsseldorf, Germany. Cummins earned accolades for demonstrating unrivalled success and return on investment in designing and executing a global IT infrastructure with Apriso’s FlexNet. Key decision factors in award selection included depth of product breadth, speed of implementation and quality improvement processes that are now more easily updated as part of Apriso’s solution capabilities.

Product Updates: Visibility, Control and Supply Chain Synchronization

FlexNet Manufacturing Process Intelligence was released at the close of the third quarter, offering real time visibility into manufacturing operations and the product supply network. This application further extends the value of the FlexNet platform, offering enterprise manufacturing intelligence and more effective analytics performance on a global scale to improve efficiency and drive continuous improvement. Apriso also just launched the industry’s first MES App for iPad and iPhone users. This mobility application extends visibility into and control over the plant floor to Apple’s mobile products to help simplify shop floor operations management.

New Houston office to service regional needs for breakbulk, project, out-of-gauge and petro-chemical cargoes

LAKE SUCCESS, New York – Ocean World Lines (OWL), a global, single-source NVOCC (non-vessel operating common carrier) and subsidiary of Pacer International, announced today the opening of a new office in Houston to service all cargoes moving to and from the region. In addition to containerized and breakbulk freight, OWL Houston will handle project and out-of-gauge cargoes too large for standard containers as well as logistics solutions specific to the petro-chemical industry.

“We are opening an office in Houston to support our customers’ needs in the region and our mission to grow US exports. Texas is ranked number one in the nation by total value of goods exported, according to the latest US Census data, and Houston is the ideal location as it’s equipped to handle breakbulk shipments. It is a fast growing region and well-known for exporting drilling, petro-chemical related supplies and other large-volume products, such as resins,” says Dan Gardner, OWL’s CEO.

Gardner notes that growth at the Port of Houston also is being driven by the ongoing Panama Canal expansion, which is expected to increase Houston-bound containerized shipments by150 percent over the next two decades to 4.5 million TEUs annually. “The weak dollar is propelling exports right now as well, helping make the Port of Houston a major growth region in the U.S.,” says Gardner. Houston already is the busiest U.S. port in terms of foreign tonnage and is ranked second overall, he notes.

Heading the Houston team is Abel Edgington, a 16-year veteran of logistics operations and management in the Texas area. Edgington, who will serve as regional branch manager, was previously with Triton Overseas Transport, RCS Intermodal and Expeditors International.

“Abel brings strong regional expertise to the new Houston office and his team will be responsible for helping increase exports and developing new business. In fact, we recently hosted an Incoterms® seminar in Houston as part of our nationwide trade seminar series to educate importers and exporters about the challenges of the global marketplace and to make their job easier,” says Gardner.

OWL’s Houston office offers a full range of services including ocean and air freight, cargo consolidation, packing and crating, trucking and warehousing, and de-consolidation and distribution.

Site offers instant vehicle for communicating with customer service

BELLEVUE, Washington – Trade Tech, an integrated global application service provider for the transportation and logistics industry, announced today that it has updated its web site with new content and fresh graphics at www.tradetech.net, along with introducing a chat live area where customers can ask questions and receive answers instantly from a customer service representative.

The new site was created to make it easier for customers to navigate and to provide the latest information about Trade Tech’s full line of products and services. Some of the content includes Trade Tech’s custom Cloud computing solution for the international trade community, full-service 10+2 for Customs House Brokers and customized collaboration and workflow tools designed to improve communication throughout the supply chain.

“Logistics is an international business, and since partners working together in the supply chain are so geographically strewn apart, we created a Cloud-based solution to bring everyone together,” said Bryn Heimbeck, Trade Tech’s CEO. “We aim to contribute substantially to the worldwide conversation on how Cloud computing solutions can significantly improve our industry. The new site will help us do that.”

“The Cloud-based model allows all parties in the supply chain to collaborate with their worldwide offices and counterparts,” said Heimbeck. “This means getting real-time information and, more importantly, good quality information because the overseas counterparts are tied into the same business system. The controlled collection and administration of high quality information was just not possible prior to the Cloud-based model and, consequently, we saw a lot of people staying up late at night or getting up exceptionally early to talk by phone with their overseas offices and agents.”

“Ultimately, this translates into the end customer getting what they are expecting with far greater predictability and enhanced visibility throughout the process,” said Heimbeck. “End customers love the visibility because it allows them to make closer forecasts and improve their own business models.”

Heimbeck says that Trade Tech will expand the site in the near future to include new ways of reaching out to the industry and its customers. “We will be incorporating a video library to provide insights into the industry and proactive ideas for the future of logistics solutions. From this site we will be able to supply instant notifications for our clients, as well as updates for industry professionals seeking advice. We will also add video clips to make it easier for people to understand the ‘big idea’ concepts that drive Trade Tech’s technology development process,” said Heimbeck.

“Our technology is designed to simplify our customers’ work processes so we are looking to add more graphs and other visual tools to help people digest fairly complex ideas and concepts,” he said. “The new look and content of our website reflects our brand, our employees and the services and solutions we provide to our customers.”
