Online marketers united – against sexism.

REUTLINGEN, GERMANY – EQS Newswire – 10 May 2022 – A marketing agency launches a nationwide anti-sexism campaign.

Employers throughout Germany are speaking out against misogyny in the workplace. The campaign “Together Against Sexism” was launched on June 16, 2021. Two female executives from the Reutlingen-based and Berlin-based agency impulsQ are spearheading this initiative. In addition, over 80 well-known firms in the online marketing sector and other industries have already offered their support.

The founders and managing directors of impulsQ GmbH from Reutlingen and Berlin, Gesina Kunkel, Natalie Brosy, and Martin Brosy, would like to raise as much financial support as possible for the Relief organization “Wirbelwind Reutlingen.” They hope to achieve this through a countrywide fundraising drive called “Together Against Sexism.”

The anti-sexism campaign started on Wednesday, June 16, 2021, with the launch of the corresponding campaign page https://impulsq.de/mega/gegen-sexismus/.

Up-to-date and representative statistics information from the Human Rights Channel, the Foundation for European Progressive Studies (FEPS), and even the Antidiskriminierungsstelle des Bundes (Federal Anti-Discrimination Agency) will be included. Furthermore, more information regarding sexism on the site and participating firms are identified by name and logo.

At the moment, more than 80 companies, including several well-known online marketing representatives, have promised their support by displaying the campaign seal on their online platforms or websites and/or providing monetary contributions. Due to the overwhelming reaction, companies from different industries have already joined the campaign.

Discrimination is a daily issue in Germany, particularly for women at work. Above all, many women face sexist hostility in the digital universe of the Internet. However, sexist statements and acts are not unusual in close interaction with colleagues.

Gesina Kunkel and Natalie Brosy were personally affected by this, which prompted them to launch the anti-sexism campaign. Both will share their experiences on the campaign page and in YouTube interviews.

New EcoStruxure™ Building solutions from Schneider Electric answer today’s imperative to deliver net-zero carbon buildings

  • EcoStruxure Building Operation 2022 increases the ease of connectivity between systems and data both inside and outside buildings with integration of renewable energy sources
  • Up to 40% energy savings1 can be achieved with EcoStruxure Building solutions while enhancing occupant comfort and productivity
  • SpaceLogic Insight-Sensor captures rich data insights to help improve efficiency and achieve green and well-being building certifications

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach – 10 May 2022 – Schneider Electric, the leader in the digital transformation of energy management and automation, and recognized as the World’s most sustainable corporation in 2021 by Corporate Knights Global 100 Index, today announced two new solutions to increase building sustainability and efficiency while enhancing occupant comfort. EcoStruxure™ Building Operation 2022, a uniquely open and integrated smart building management system, and the SpaceLogic™ Insight-Sensor, a six-in-one room sensor with anonymous real-time people counting, will be gamechangers in the journey to net-zero carbon buildings. With these additions, Schneider Electric continues to enable customers to achieve up to 40% energy savings1 with EcoStruxure Building solutions.

Making building data and automation work for comfortable, net-zero carbon buildings

Complex issues of global climate change and net-zero carbon mandates are increasing demands on buildings, which generate nearly 40% of the world’s CO2 emissions.2 EcoStruxure Building Operation 2022 and SpaceLogic Insight-Sensor deliver building owners and facility managers with granular visibility through open, integrated building systems and devices that easily connect and exchange information. The new offers also provide flexibility to adapt and respond to owners’, occupants’ and society’s needs both today and in the future. And they help deliver on the promise of IoT, ensuring that valuable building data can be accessed, standardized, secured, and analyzed for maximum efficiency and predictive maintenance using AI and machine learning.

“Schneider Electric is proud to be a part of the evolution of building technology at such a pivotal time for the industry. By providing these new leading solutions we will further help building owners, facility managers and our EcoXpert partners address the increasing pressures they face head-on,” says Andre Marino, SVP of Digital Buildings. “These open, data-centric solutions apply flexibility and insight to what are inherently rigid challenges of buildings. Solving these challenges is essential to meeting the demands of today’s modern buildings and supporting the new balance of remote work and office time, with priorities ranging from creating safe, healthy and flexible occupant spaces, to protecting the environment from climate change.”

EcoStruxure Building Operation 2022 takes open system integration to the next level

EcoStruxure Building Operation, part of the EcoStruxure Building ecosystem, is an open and scalable next-generation building management solution that provides a single control center for building and facility mangers to monitor, manage and optimize systems that were traditionally siloed. It allows bi-directional integration and exchange of any third-party system or device and does not lock-up customers’ data in proprietary languages or codes.

To achieve net-zero, buildings must become more digital and more electric. EcoStruxure Building Operation 2022 provides simple integration, visibility and actionable data from microgrids, EV charging stations and renewable energy sources, in addition to previously integrated HVAC, power, lighting, security, fire systems, and more to create sustainable, energy- and operationally-efficient, and comfortable buildings.

EcoStruxure Building Operation 2022 other new features and benefits include:

  • Scalable software licensing bundle options making solutions more affordable for smaller, mid-market projects, and a new subscription-based software assurance upgrade option supports system modernization
  • Enhanced reports and dashboard UIs, including Alarm Management, which provides clear insights and notification to issues before they become disruptive problems
  • Technical data is now simpler to understand and manage by facility managers
  • Access to more data especially from the proliferation of IoT-enabled connected room devices
  • Industry-leading compliance and cybersecurity features, including new BACnet /SC (Secure Connect); Single Sign-On (SSO) with SAML 2.0; secure boot for the SpaceLogic Automation Server; and TLS 1.5 encryption

SpaceLogic™ Insight-Sensors increase occupant comfort while reducing energy use

Schneider Electric also introduces the SpaceLogic Insight-Sensor, an advanced six-in-one ceiling mounted room/zone sensor for people counting, occupancy, light, sound, temperature, and humidity sensing. Unlike traditional ventilation control that relies on schedules or CO2 levels, the SpaceLogic Insight-Sensor, which uses anonymous people-counting technology, responds to precise changes in room occupancy in real-time for optimal fresh air supply. The direct integration with EcoStruxure Building Operation enables fast response time with no additional design, configuration or commissioning costs.

When more people enter a room, the Insight-Sensor informs EcoStruxure Building Operation, which dynamically adjusts room ventilation, reacting quickly before conditions become uncomfortable. Conversely, the Insight-Sensor ensures that energy use for HVAC or lighting is reduced when rooms are at low or zero occupancy.

SpaceLogic Insight-Sensor delivers these additional features and benefits:

  • Fast installation and commissioning with native integration via the SpaceLogic RP-C Controller, the room’s IP backbone infrastructure, as part of EcoStruxure Connected Room Solutions
  • Ability to easily reconfigure floor plans and work areas based on actual space usage patterns
  • Remote control, wayfinding and other occupant services enabled by Bluetooth iBeacon and third-party beaconing applications
  • Granular data on energy use and well-being analytics (temperature, light, sound) to help achieve LEED, WELL, BREEAM, Fitwel and other building certifications

Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise enhances its Asset Tracking solution with Artificial Intelligence capabilities and push-button alerts

With enabled instant location of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) tags – connected to individuals and critical equipment, to supply real-time and historic contact tracing, with increased precision accuracy and additional new features.

PARIS, FRANCE – News Direct – 10 May 2022 – Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise, a leading provider of network, communications and cloud solutions tailored to customers’ industries is placing AI (Artificial Intelligence) and ML (Machine Learning) at the heart of its technology development. ALE’s enhanced OmniAccess® Stellar Asset Tracking solution now offers new customisable push-button alerts and an AI/ML powered real-time location algorithm for environments that require improved accuracy compared with standard tools.

Designed to quickly locate assets or individuals, use analytics to optimise workflows, and simplify the ability to provide contact tracing, Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise Asset Tracking is set to deliver an enriched user experience with finer location precision thanks to its AI and Machine Learning capabilities.

Further enhancements of the solution include equipping BLE tags with a new alert button, to notify users of activity at the touch of a button, or by sending automated notifications from an indoor geofenced area and immediately share vital information in real-time.

This solution holds powerful potential for the healthcare industry, for use cases such as calling medical staff for assistance, locating and assessing the availability of critical equipment, and improving safety of patients and staff.

The alert button function is also fully programmable for use case flexibility and enables configuration for button press request action, with real-time location, extending its value beyond the healthcare sector to be used to enhance campus security for staff and students in schools or enable security personnel to call for assistance in a variety of indoor environments.

Asset tracking users can also receive alerts via a range of media, making sure information is delivered to the right person, or group, at the right time, through the most convenient channel.

Notifications are sent instantly to the Alcatel-Lucent OmniVista Cirrus Asset Manager and distributed via Android push notification to the OmniAccess Stellar Asset Tracking app, web push to desktop or mobile device, email, SMS, Rainbow and other third-party systems, such as IQ Messenger. This message server includes additional notification media such as Alcatel-Lucent desktop, DECT and WLAN phones, nurse call systems, etc.

Daniel Faurlin, Business Line Manager, Network Business Division at Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise, comments:

“Our OmniAccess Stellar Asset Tracking solution has proved an essential tool for our customers and they can now track, locate and monitor the usage patterns of their assets with even greater accuracy and efficiency. Although contact tracing and asset tracking came to light most prominently during the health crisis, its ability to improve performance across numerous industries extends beyond the turbulence of the pandemic and can be harnessed to bring operations into the digital age.”

As ALE continues to enrich its offer under the traditional CAPEX model, it has also expanded to a new hybrid ‘Network as a Service’ offering, combining both CAPEX & OPEX options.

In line with customer requirements, ALE plans to add asset tracking and contact tracing capabilities to its ‘Network-as-a-Service’ offer. The company also provides a pay-as-you-grow model for businesses looking to ramp up their digital transformation with a manageable predictable monthly fee and the opportunity to benefit from the latest technology updates with a reduced initial investment.

“Our aim is always to make accessing high-performance and data-rich solutions as easy as possible for our customers. As we continue to innovate and enhance our solutions, so too will we develop new models to make digital transformation universally accessible with options for every business and industry,” adds Nolwenn Simon, Product Line Manager Network Value added solutions, Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise.
