FORT WORTH, TX – 2 Sep, 2016 – Western Rim Property Services, Marcus Hiles’ Fort Worth based company, has a reputation for creating high-end residences that offer unmatched value. With upmarket townhomes and apartments that combine state-of-the-art conveniences with resort-style on-site amenities, Hiles’ unique vision of affordable luxury for working class Texans remains as timely as when he founded the business in 1990. Despite ever-fluctuating trends in the U.S. housing market, one constant remains: more and more people are renting every year. Hiles discusses the changes in attitudes and demographics that have led to the continuing increase in rentership throughout the U.S.

Many factors are responsible for the move away from ownership. Marcus Hiles Fort Worth developer sees large-scale, generational shifts as important reasons, including the skyrocketing cost of a college education and its subsequent impact on personal debt; most millennials allocate 10 percent of their income to paying off student loans. Other age groups are also driving up numbers: generation X-ers remain renters longer, pushing up rates for 30–49 year olds, and baby boomers aged 50 and over have become more inclined to rent at a higher rate than others of their same age in previous years. Another cause lies in the transformation of traditional lifestyles. Almost half of all baby boomers were married by age 32 and intent on starting a family, while only a little more than a quarter of people in their 20s and 30s have wed. Being single and increasingly mobile means that the younger generation is farther from starting a family, and less inclined to pursue home ownership.

Marcus Hiles, Fort Worth real estate expert, says that renting is a practical option for those not financially ready to purchase a home. The Fannie Mae National Housing Survey noted that families earning more than $100,000 “often choose to rent because it provides flexibility and involves less stress for upkeep than owning,” while those earning less than $25,000 rent due to the affordability. The Wall Street Journal cites slow income growth and a lack of savings as significant considerations, regardless of how low mortgage rates may drop. Since accumulating savings can often be challenging, a 2016 study by New York University’s Furman Center for Real Estate and Urban Policy stated that the overall number of rents outpaced inflation in the 11 largest U.S. metropolitan areas—except for the notable exception of Dallas and Houston, where they remained largely flat. “In Houston, just 41 percent of the population rented in 1970, but despite changes in wealth and employment, that number hit 54 percent by 2013,” said Hiles. “The idea that owning your home is the ultimate American Dream is being turned inside out.”

Chairman and CEO of Western Rim Property Services, Marcus Hiles has changed the Texas landscape by building contemporary, high-quality communities across Houston, Dallas-Fort Worth, New Braunfels, Austin and San Antonio. With ongoing efforts through his company, Hiles has successfully beautified the suburban areas he develops by contributing to the shade tree canopy, having planting a total of 30,000 trees during the last 10 years. Along with environmentally sound construction practices that include the installation of reflective TechShield® radiant barrier sheathing, full depth cellulose insulation and highly effectual weather stripping, Hiles has personally donated over 59 acres of parkland to the general public to preserve wildlife habitats and accessible green spaces.

Chicago, IL – LockDSolid, a weapon storage company, has launched three new websites as it’s expanding into new territory. The three states the company now serves with their bevy of weapon storage systems and school lockers are Minnesota, Pennsylvania, and Tennessee. The expansion was prompted because of the growing demand for the company’s products, as the need for gun safety is at an all-time high in the US.

“We have launched three sites to demonstrate that we are committed to serving the residents and businesses of Minnesota, Pennsylvania, and Tennessee, ” says Pete Mailloux, a company spokesperson. He goes on to say, “The new sites we’ve launched are: www.LockDSolidMinnesota.com, www.LockDSolidPennsylvania.com, and www.LockDSolidTennessee.com.”

The owners of Dasco Storage Solutions and General Storage Systems formed LockDSolid a few years as a division that combines the best of their popular products. Since then, the company has grown significantly and now serves customers from different parts of the country. Gun safety is an important topic of discussion right now in the US. Unsafe storage of guns has been cited as a factor in many sad incidents; LockDSolid shows its commitment to the cause by making gun safety a priority, not only to law enforcement, but also local businesses and homes.

Helping more people in the U.S to safely store the firearms they own was one big factor in the company’s decision to expand into new territories. The sale of weapons in the United States has been growing steadily in recent years. This is because everybody sees the importance of protecting themselves, their loved ones and friends. Therefore, it’s only sensible that people who’re buying the weapons also want secure storage for their firearms.

For gun owners in the U.S who would like more information on the new expansion plans, LockDSolid encourages individuals to visit their area’s corresponding website. The residents, schools, and businesses of Minnesota, Tennessee, and Pennsylvania can now access the websites quickly to place their orders for weapon storage and school lockers. The expansion makes it easy for customers in these parts of the country to get what they are looking for from a local representative.

Norway – Mads Ottersland operates a small digital marketing agency focusing on local businesses in Norway. His business offers web design, SEO and conversion optimization. Achieving growth is easy for some companies but hard for most. What distinguishes those companies that grow in their local market in the face of competition and stagnant market? “Local Digital Marketing.”

Mads says, “Many agencies encourage businesses to “market online” by using digital technology and the internet. These small businesses ultimately begin “global marketing” the moment they hit the web. Focusing on the broader approach to web, social, and mobile is detrimental to some businesses. These businesses end up competing against other companies that aren’t going after the same customer. This trend has thankfully been turned on its head due to the lack of financial impact. Local businesses who rely on foot traffic from their city’s footprint, or smaller, are realizing that they need to focus on local digital marketing. In today’s uncertain and changeable world, local businesses’ competitive advantage increasingly depends on their ability to maximize the local market.”

Mads Ottersland helps to create local business pages on Google+ Local Pages, Facebook Pages and Bing Places for Business. These pages appear in local searches which makes them highly valuable in local marketing efforts. A local business must show up in search results when people search for that particular business category and city or region. Other local business pages to pay attention to include LinkedIn Company Pages, Foursquare,and Manta profiles. By creating these local pages, Mads helps to increase exposure online, helping potential customers find his client’s businesses.

Once all of the local business listings are created, Mads then helps to make sure his client takes advantage of the social proof potential. Many of these local sites allow consumers to review or endorse the company. Not only will the positive comments establish social proof and credibility to the brand, it will also boost the SEO.

Ottersland approaches the company with keyword research. It’s imperative to find out which search terms people use when searching for businesses in the area. Many business owners get hung up here, which is why they come to Mads. He will need to experiment with keyword combinations on the company website and uncover, through testing, which keywords will gain the highest level of conversion. Making sure to add the city or region names to industry-relevant terms is also important. This is an established method to generate localized search phrases.

Transitioning the digital marketing efforts to emphasize on local is a good place to start when trying to grow a business in a city’s footprint. By supplementing these digital strategies with traditional marketing initiatives – local promotions and events for example – it positions the business as an industry leader in a local area. Mads Otterland knows how to shift a business’ digital marketing strategy to focus on the local area. A local marketing effort can generate huge benefits and sales, if done right.

West Hartford, CT – Mammoth Surveillance Camera Systems is pleased to announce they have added IDIS brand cameras, a world leader of surveillance equipment, to their line of security visual products. One of the most valuable functions of adding IDIS video cameras provided by Mammoth Surveillance to your security system, is the ability for the alarm monitoring station to verify your sounding alarm by viewing your camera and identifying the intruder.

Lucrative Innovations, Inc., maker of mobile apps for consumers and businesses, announced today that its Covert Alert personal safety app will be going onto Android very soon.  The hands-free emergency app uses voice recognition to trigger pre-programmed emergency alerts and covert reporting in threatening situations. Once activated by the user’s voice, the app sends a message to the users designated contacts and provides a link for tracking the user in real time GPS. With the recording feature, Covert Alert is the first “3 in 1” emergency app of its kind in the market.

“Our team spent 19 months developing Covert Alert to provide a voice-activated App to assist quickly in emergencies,” said Kim Vice President of Media Relations at Lucrative Innovations. “We did not cut corners just to get an app on the market, but included every feature to assist users in emergencies, and in situations of abuse and discrimination of all types. Hands-free activation without anyone’s knowledge, and the ability to covertly record those situations, are a must in today’s society.”

Kim believes every iPhone user and Android user should have Covert Alert as an additional safety measure in 2017.

Covert Alert is distinctive in that the app enables the user to establish key phrases that, when spoken, trigger the app to notify others that an emergency is occurring. This way, even if the user’s phone is in a handbag, set to “sleep,” if the user says the key phrase, such as “Green stop sign,” the app’s proprietary voice recognition software will detect that there is an emergency. The assailant will have no idea that an “alarm” has been tripped, in effect. The user can set up friends and relatives as emergency contacts, who will receive a text stating that the user is experiencing an emergency, the developers are currently working with 911 in conjunction. The app records the experience, storing the recording on cloud servers for future access by law enforcement.  “You seldom have the use of your hands to activate an alert in an emergency,” Kim added.

The app is also useful for uncomfortable but non-emergency situations such as being stuck at a boring social event and needing friends to “come to the rescue.”  “Many settings that require the need for a confidential messaging system that is activated only by your voice, and no one around you is aware the message was sent,” Worland noted.

Covert Alert will be available on the iTunes App store for $6.99. Please note the developers have no annoying in app commercials! The app is currently available for iPhones.

Statistics show that companies using videos enjoy much greater web traffic than those who do not use video. Videos on social media generate substantially larger shares than just text and images. New York City based Auroin.com is currently producing quality web videos for only $999 with a short turn-around time of 15 days. Websites can achieve new success levels with these ultra HD videos.

All Auroin videos are shot by professional cinematographers and editors with many years of experience in the industry. They use full HD/4K video cameras and high quality RØDE microphone systems. Scripts are read by actors/spokesmodels accustomed to working in front of the camera. Clients have options to select from actors, models and voice-overs from the United States, Europe and Asia.

This is what the company needs from customers in order to produce a video:

•  High-resolution logo and images, website address, e-mail and phone
•  Script to write and approve
•  Pronunciation guide for difficult words
•  Sample video to follow or use for reference

A demonstration video is available for viewing on the website along with a clear description of the steps involved in producing one and staff members are available to answer questions. The Auroin technique works well for producing all types of videos: Promotional, branding, motivational, multi-lingual and infographic videos as well as whiteboard animation and cinematic trailers.

Businesses using video have demonstrated faster growth year after year than those who don’t. Most people are familiar with today’s high interest in millennials and their lifestyle. One research study found that 74% of millennials find video helpful when comparison shopping and 60% say they prefer watching a video to reading a newsletter. Another study revealed 70% of marketers claim video produces more conversions than any other content.

MIAMI, FL – 9/6/2016 (PRESS RELEASE JET) — ProtectStar Inc. today is pleased to announce the release and immediate availabilty of Camera Guard Professional 2016, the company’s new safety software solution for Mac OS. Camera Guard Professional ensures that no hacker, spy or malware can observe you or listen in on you. With just one single click, not only the camera, but also the microphone will be completely protected.

Camera Guard is more than just a new safety product. The app brings back privacy at the work place and in the children’s room at home with a single click. It is an uncompromising, unprecedented solution, specifically protecting the webcam and microphone of iMacs and MacBooks.

Camera Guard reports access of camera and microphone:
When Camera Guard is installed, a single click is enough in order to secure the camera and microphone. This safety tool from then on reports all applications and processes that try to gain access to the camera and microphone. The user then decides if they wish to allow access to the eyes and ears of the Mac Computer. Or alternatively, not allow access. All accesses and warnings are protocolled in a log file. 

The personal settings of the Camera Guard are also protected by a PIN number which is equipped with special hacker protection in order to prevent the software itself from being manipulated.

Deep Detective: The intelligent safety officer:
At the core of Camera Guard is the intelligent Deep Detective. This detective not only recognizes well known malware (for example the Backdoor.MAC.Eleanor, which specifically takes over the control of the integrated webcam), it also identifies attacks of previously unknown malware. Just like an alarm system, a firewall or intruder detection, all attacks from hackers, spies and trojans are detected and blocked using heuristic methods. At the same time the software uses minimal system resources.

After the NSA documents from the archive of the whistleblower Edward Snowden became public, it was clear: Not only data thieves and computer scammers are interested in invading the privacy of the user. Also secret services use every possibility at their disposal to gain access. Taking over the computer webcam or the built in microphone from afar is no longer just science fiction.

“Who wants to be observed or overheard by unknown people while at work or at home? No-one.” explained Chris Bohn, CEO of ProtectStar. “That’s the reason why millions of users all over the world tape over their webcams and microphones. Even Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and FBI boss James Comey do that. For a lot of parents this is one of the most commonly used safety measures on computers in children’s rooms.”

Supported Languages
* German and English

System Requirements
* Mac OS 10.11 or higher (OS X El Capitan, macOS Sierra)
* 30 MB free hard drive space
* Internet connection for updates and activation

Pricing and Availability:
Camera Guard Professional 2016 offers protection of the microphone, the Deep Detective, protection against well-known and unknown access attempts, a protocol in a log file, password protection and a 24/7 support via email. The pro-version costs $29.90 (USD) – and only $19.90 in the first week of launch. There is also a free version of Camera Guard available that offers protection of the webcam and safety information over accesses.

SAN FRANCISCO, CA – 9/6/2016 (PRESS RELEASE JET) — LIVALL, the company spreading the joy of smart riding, today announced three new smart helmets: the MT1, designed for mountain biking, the BH81H, optimized for urban riding and the KS2 – the company’s first helmet for children. The helmets will initially be available via a new campaign on Indiegogo.

Designed by cyclists for cyclists, LIVALL’s smart, safe cycling helmets and smart-bike accessories provide cyclists with a safe, fun experience by integrating communications, music and smart lighting functions. After two successful crowdfunding campaigns in 2015 on Indiegogo (BH100) and Kickstarter (BH60), LIVALL is excited to introduce their new smart helmets and features.

LIVALL’s new BH81H is designed to meet the demands of urban and distance riders and provides real-time, accurate heart-rate monitoring, with a voice system and app reminder to alert riders when their heart-rate reaches a dangerous level. The MT1 represents a brand new design for the mountain biker. It weighs only 10.5 oz, which is about 5.5 oz lighter than the current LIVALL BH100 helmets thanks to its new composition, a light US-manufactured EPS foam bonded by PC. Together, these materials create a helmet that is durable and can resist high-speed impact by dispersing blunt force.

The KS2, designed for kids, is simple and stylish with lights located on the top and tail of the helmet. Tapping lightly three times on the helmet turns on the warning lights, allowing parents to locate their children quickly to ensure their safety.

Both LIVALL adult Bling Helmets will send SOS alerts to emergency contacts via the LIVALL Riding mobile app when an integrated three-axis G-sensor senses an external strike caused by an accident or fall. The built-in LED tail lights on the back of the helmets indicate to drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists which way cyclists plan to turn and are easily operated by means of a single press of the Bling Jet handlebar-mounted remote control.

Thanks to an integrated design that limits background noise, cyclists can use the built-in Hi-Fi Bluetooth stereo speakers and windbreak microphone to make or answer phone calls without distractions. Texts sent through the LIVALL Riding app are automatically converted to voice messages for users in “riding mode.” In addition, using the Bling Jet remote control, cyclists can enjoy music while riding and can select, play, or pause songs, and are able to control the speaker. Cyclists can also use the walkie-talkie feature for helmet to helmet communications. Furthermore, users are able to capture images using the LIVALL Riding app either while their bike is in motion, or when pulled over for a pit stop. LIVALL’s helmets are part of a full smart-riding gear system which also includes the Bling Jet™ remote control, a phone mount and charger, and the world’s smallest single-unit cadence sensor.

“Our mission at LIVALL is to ensure the safety and health of cyclists through our smart-biking gear and LIVALL Riding mobile app, and to deliver an enjoyable experience they want to share with others. We want to spread the joy of smart cycling around the world,” says Brian Bo, LIVALL founder and CEO.

The smart devices use Bluetooth to connect to the LIVALL Riding mobile app, available to download free on Google Play and the App Store. The Bling helmets can be purchased for a limited time via Indiegogo in different perk package pricing while supplies last. Super Early-bird shoppers will be able to purchase the MT1 at $99 and the BH81H at $109 plus shipping. LIVALL’s prototypes are finished and ready for mass production with products set to ship November 2016.

(LOS ANGELES, September 6, 2016) — Worldwide Business with kathy ireland® announces an exclusive interview with Stuart Long, CEO of Monarch Medical Technologies, a Charlotte, NC based provider of clinical decision support software and services for improving glucose management in hospitals.

The world of medical technology is constantly changing and with more and more people in need of insulin therapy while they are in the hospital.  Monarch Medical Technologies is dedicated to improving hospital based glucose management to the safest levels achievable and the advances they are making are astounding.

Monarch is working to replace the traditional linear insulin protocols with personalized and predictive algorithmic-based solutions. This means that rather than using one standard protocol for each patient, the technologies being developed by Monarch focus on an individualized approach to glucose management that is tailored uniquely from patient to patient.

The flagship product, EndoTool® Glucose Management System, utilizes predictive modes of therapy to manage insulin administration more effectively and help to safely and efficiently stabilize patients. The technology is clinically proven to improve nearly every aspect of dosing insulin related to 4 of the 5 rights of medication administration: 1) Right Patient 2) Right Drug 3) Right Dose and 4) Right Time, along with reductions in the overall length of the stay, the risk of hospital acquired conditions and infections, and significant improvements in patient outcomes overall.

Mr. Long said, “We strive to be the safest solution for dosing insulin to patients and to facilitate the trust between patients and caregivers. The combination of our intravenous (IV) and subcutaneous (SubQ) products enhances the entirety of our EndoTool platform’s value, and provides our clients the ability to provide patient-specific and safe treatment for any patient type requiring insulin.” He added, “We are very excited be the catalyst that healthcare needs in order to provide the safest care with insulin dosing. In addition to this, we are thrilled that Worldwide Business with kathy ireland® wants to spread awareness and share in our effort to help hospitals achieve glycemic control.”

“Monarch Medical Technologies is working to produce individualized approaches that are going to get patients out and back home faster,” said J.L. Haber, Vice President of Programming. “Rather than depending on traditional methods that are one method fits all, they are working to make individualized plans that are specific to each patient and that help to create the best possible outcome each time.”

The EndoTool technology is currently being used in over 180 hospitals throughout the United States and is helping providers give patients better health, better care, at a lower cost so they can feel better, and get back to living their lives.

Los Angeles, CA – September 06, 2016 — Innovative Healthcare Systems Founder and CEO, Ron Decker, is featured on the award-winning, global TV show, Worldwide Business with kathy ireland®. The segment’s topic is how Innovative Healthcare Systems is helping healthcare professionals and patients manage revenue under the Affordable Care Act.

Under the Affordable Care Act’s changes, the revenue cycle management process is becoming more complex and requiring new technology, processes and strategies. Innovative Healthcare Systems is a company focused on adding the technology, processes and strategies to address the increasing complexity. The company is headquartered in Edmond, Oklahoma.

Decker explains how the Affordable Care Act has affected his company’s clients and healthcare professionals alike. He says, “With the expansion of the different types of exchange products — you’ve got the gold, silver and bronze plans — each one of those have an expanded benefit. Many of the patients that are getting involved and buying those exchange-related products don’t understand the complexity and the nuances within those individual benefit plans. So they show up for their services, and they expect to have a certain type of benefit or a certain type of service, and they have a high deductible or they have a co-insurance or they’re not allowed to go to this hospital or that hospital. It’s very complicated for patients. And it’s complicated for the health plans, as well as the hospitals and providers’ offices because they’re not designed to educate; they’re designed to take care of patient needs.”

JL Haber, Vice President of Programming for Worldwide Business with kathy ireland®, states, “Innovative Healthcare Systems is a leader in their field. As they deliver the technology, processes and strategies to address the increasing complexity of healthcare systems and revenue cycle management, we love watching their journey unfold. We couldn’t be more excited to feature Innovative Healthcare Systems on our show.”

(Los Angeles, CA, September 6, 2016) – Worldwide Business with kathy ireland® announces an exclusive story featuring SPAR Group, a company that understands the operational challenges that retailers are facing in conjunction with rapid changes in the retail environment, as well as ways to overcome them.

Jill Blanchard, CEO of SPAR, commented on how the rapid growth of omni-channel  has challenged manufacturers and retailers in store. She said, “The omni-channel environment has put a huge strain on both retailers as well as manufacturers. Instead of just having to compete with the store down the street, they now have to compete with what the consumers do on their smartphones and online. And by competing, it is more than just having a .com or an online presence. It is really about maximizing the entire shopping experience for today’s consumer. This creates a number of challenges. First, retailers have to be more efficient in-store to maintain cost competitiveness. And, they have to improve their product availability and make it simple to search for a product in-store similar to how it is simple to search for a product online. They also need to engage the customer more in-store and retailers are leaning on manufacturers for help with this. All of these challenges together result in a big manpower issue for both retailers and the manufacturers.” Jill goes on to explain how these in-store challenges are being overcome and even joins one of her clients for a closer look at how it helps their retail business.

JL Haber, Vice President of Worldwide Business with kathy ireland®, said, “With so much going in on the world of technology, it is easy to see how difficult it would be for businesses to attract and keep customers engaged. SPAR Group offers solutions to these issues.”

As a benchmarking enterprise in the mold industry, POWSTAR GROUP has been an excellent model of both company management and technical innovation, subtly playing out Japanese-style management in every detail against the background of Sino-Japan joint venture.

First, quality assurance normatively managed: POWSTAR GROUP strictly implements the quality management flow for every order in demand, from needs identification, product review, design layout, design approval, material inspection, process and fabrication, tooling assembly, try out, to delivery and after-sales tracking. Every stage is followed according to strict quality control standards, to ensure each product finished from POWSTAR GROUP 100% satisfactory.

Next, order development and design precisely performed: To ensure product quality, the company has strict planning and quality review from order in to design out, i.e., order evaluation, product review, design review, and design verification. The output documents are produced from each step accordingly, which can greatly shorten the period of tooling design upon the consumer acceptance of high quality products.

Then, incoming material quality and supplier management fully controlled: Three significant measures have been instituted to assure the quality of incoming material, purchased material inspection, supplier review and periodic supplier evaluation. New suppliers will be examined the profession qualifications before formal cooperation, and required a formal supply under monthly supervision and incoming quality statistics. Suppliers of somewhat inferior quality will be given targeted support and guidance on the other hand.

Finally, quality management of manufacturing process staff involved: In order to ensure the quality and safety of products, each employee must strictly observe “three no principles” (no receiving substandard goods, no producing unqualified products, and no releasing rejected goods). To achieve tooling quality assurance, tooling quality verification and delivery quality control, every step from process programming, manufacturing, assembly, try out, to delivery is in a controlled state at all times. 

POWSTAR GROUP strictly controls the delivery quality of each tooling and products through the following measures: First, POWSTAR GROUP has a powerful engineers team, which is mostly composed of craftsmen with decades of tooling manufacturing experience, with a view to ensuring each link quality of precision tooling. Second, POWSTAR GROUP has a strong capacity of high precision ±0.01MM for injection mold and stamping die, while ±0.002MM for high precision stamping die. The accuracy is so fine owed much to its precision machining equipment of top brands Makino, Toshiba, and MITSUBISHI all imported from Japan. The processing precision of Makino CNC and EDM equipment can reach to ±0.01mm, and the tightening precision of 26 sets MITSUBISHI WEDM equipment can arrive at ±0.003mm. Finally, as the procedure from tooling order releasing to customer goods receiving is numerous, it isn’t good enough to rely heavily on advanced equipment and experienced staff team. Therefore, a perfect and standard quality management system needs to be established, i.e., setting up a special 3H quality management department, introducing the high precision testing facilities with automated detection means and standardized control flow, controlling quality of 4 links as follows: Incoming Quality Control (IQC), In-Process Quality Control (IPQC), Final Quality Control (FQC), and Outgoing Quality Control (OQC). Satisfying customers and providing them with perfect quality is what we promise.

POWSTAR GROUP has more than 150 sets of various large and precision imported equipment with “Makino and Mitsubishi” as the leading brands, which can ensure 0.001mm machining precision under the condition of constant temperature and humidity, as well as rich field experience in high precision parts processing and builds the WEDM super high precision processing team to fully exploit the potential of equipment, improve the processing capacity, and realize ultra high precision machining breakthrough, especially for the WEDM technology of tall and long parts with high difficulty in processing. The purpose is to provide high quality and cost-effective parts for customers, assisting them to achieve “perfect quality”.

How does POWSTAR GROUP realize the breakthrough of WEDM technology for precision processing tall and long parts? At first, statistic the major issues found in the WEDM processing (such as large error of vertical straightness), gradually start parameter debugging and trial processing, and solve the straightness error through debugging parameter compensation method and settling six common vertical  straightness error parameter debugging solution. Secondly, solve the differential problem between measurement and reality by dial indicator measurement + two dimensional measurement + three dimensional retest.

POWSTAR GROUP attaches great importance to a company’s information construction, mainly reflected in five aspects: Monitoring the whole process from order to delivery by ERP system; creating a “digital plant” by PDM/ERP/MES system; implementing plan and capacity management by APS scheduling system; managing fast quotation and paperless purchasing through the sourcing platform; controlling production and administration process by Easy platform. For large automobile precision mold the most important is MES system, the requirements in all respects of which like high difficulty and high precision machining, call for an information system to control the production process more effectively, so as to get the correct and significant information for each production link of automobile mold. Furthermore, in order to respond quickly to production dynamic changes, it is also required to ensure the production information accurate and timely from the staff of every link, which, can effectively improve the development efficiency of automotive mold products, and control the production schedule and capacity in time during the production stage, realizing effective tracking for the processing of automobile mold.

For customers, toolings with high quality and low price can greatly reduce the costs for the mass production of finished products. Therefore, tooling cost control is also what POWSTAR group is focusing on to promote customer satisfaction, and the biggest effect factor on the tooling cost is whether the design of tooling structure is reasonable, which is strongly influenced by the skill level of tooling designers in the precision tooling plant. Optimizing the tooling structure to save cost with the help of CAE analysis , POWSTAR group adheres to optimization of product structure, best molding solution and most economical production process for the purpose.

POWSTAR GROUP takes “exceeding customer expectations” as the business strategic objective, devoting to be world-class mold manufactory. Let you achieve “perfect quality” and “early delivery”!
