Domino Printing Sciences (Domino) is pleased to announce the launch of the R-Series, a new range of smart vision systems for automatic inspection and validation of product codes, including date codes, batch numbers, barcodes, and 2D-printed codes.

The R-Series was developed in consultation with customers following Domino’s acquisition of Lake Image Systems. Domino has long recognised the importance of code validation for manufacturers and realised the customer value in reducing complexity and offering a complete end-to-end solution from a single trusted partner.

Specifically designed to work with Domino printers and coders, the R-Series eliminates the need for manual code validation and inspection, significantly reducing the risk of an incorrect code leaving a manufacturing site unnoticed, while allowing for more efficient use and distribution of resources.

“Coding errors pose a significant financial risk to manufacturers – and this goes much further than the risk of manufacturing waste and need to rework incorrect stock,” says Andy Barrett, Portfolio and Requirements Director, Domino. “If left to enter the supply chain, an incorrect code can necessitate a product recall, which is not only costly in terms of logistics but can also damage the long-term value of a company.”

“With the R-Series, we can offer our customers a range of integrated vision systems that automate the checking of every code, so that unidentified coding errors become a thing of the past,” continues Barrett.

The launch highlights Domino’s ongoing commitment to ‘Do more’ to help customers improve production efficiency and reduce manufacturing waste by delivering ‘best-in-class’ customer experience through products, services, and expertise.

“The R-Series completes a closed-loop coding solution from Domino, also encompassing our trusted printing solutions and QuickDesign coding automation software,” says Craig Stobie, Global Sector Development Director, Domino. “By partnering with Domino to validate their coding and marking systems, our customers can protect their operations from coding errors, reduce the risk of manufacturing waste, and increase overall equipment effectiveness and product yields.”

R-Series systems have been developed to work alongside Domino printers, integrating seamlessly into existing production lines without the need for custom brackets or specialist add-ons. R-Series controllers can be run from a single human-machine interface and have a standard user interface with Domino ‘look and feel’, which is easy to learn and reduces the need for additional training.

Unlike other vision systems, the R-Series is specifically designed for coding and marking applications. The systems are optimised for Domino fonts, print characteristics, and inks and match the speed of Domino’s fastest printers, meaning that manufacturers can code with confidence, knowing that every code that is printed can be checked and verified.

The R-Series is available as three separate products, with bespoke options available to cater for all requirements and budgets. The top-level R550 is a complete code validation and verification solution, which validates the data for both human- and machine-readable codes, as well as checking for readability and code placement. The mid-range R350, checks the readability of machine-readable codes, while the R150, a cost-efficient introductory option, offers simplified checking for code presence and placement.

“We are incredibly proud to be able to offer our customers an industry-leading vision inspection product range in the Domino R-Series,” says Praba Sivalingam, Global Solutions and Support Director, Domino. “With this capability, Domino can satisfy customers’ coding and vision needs via a single reputable brand, while taking full responsibility for installation, training, and after-sales support, globally.”

Surat (Gujarat) [India], November 02: You won’t have to satisfy your tastebuds with salty, sweet, nutty, and earthy peanut butter in the future. For the first time in India, Mustin, a Gujarat-based peanut butter and seeds brand, has introduced a variety of unique savoury flavours that consumers enjoy.

Mustin, the peanut butter and Seeds Company, announced the launch of its most popular product variant, Chocolate-Hazelnut spread, for the first time in the country. Customers are obsessed with its creamy texture and ultra-delicious taste.

Mustin is the only PB (peanut butter) brand that has introduced a wide range of flavoured products, including Choco Peanut Butter and super flavoured ones like Strawberry, Vanilla, and Choco Almont Peanut Butter, which are extremely unique savoury flavours in India.

Mr. Shashank Pacheriwal and Mr. Rutvik Shah lead the brand, which is supported by the rich foundation and vast experience of Parvati Fabrics Ltd, a well-known name in the textile industry, and the Evershine Group. The brand’s core concept is to provide pure health benefits through innovative products.

Mustin’s other major product category is healthy seeds, which include Chia seeds, Sunflower seeds, Pumpkin seeds, and Watermelon seeds in both raw and roasted varieties. The all-natural PB is available at incredible prices digitally across multiple platforms.

Peanut butter is the most adaptable food that has ever been discovered. It is popular among people of all ages, not just gym-goers and health-conscious individuals, due to its numerous health benefits and delectable taste. It was originally used as a healthy substitute for regular butter, but it is now consumed by almost everyone and everywhere. Peanut butter can be eaten on its own or added to desserts, sandwiches, drinks, and almost any other dish.

Other reasons could be that peanut butter is a superfood with high protein content, that it is a great post-workout meal, that it does not spoil easily, and that it is available in a variety of delicious flavours on the market.

Another important category that you may have heard about in casual conversation is seeds. Seeds may be small in size, but they are a nutritional powerhouse. In the Indian diet, chia seeds, flax seeds, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and watermelon seeds predominate. These are the best plant sources of fibre, good fats, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Furthermore, these superfoods are extremely versatile. It can be eaten raw or cooked, and it can be added to almost any dish.

“This year, we launched a range of entirely new flavours that are again being introduced for the first time in India,” Mustin’s Mr Shashank Pacheriwal said. These new flavours, including Chia and Strawberry Peanut Butter, Chia and Chocolate Peanut Butter, and Mixed Seeds and Strawberry Peanut Butter, are an unimaginable combination of delicious flavours and healthy seeds. These new flavours were developed with the goal of bringing the best delicious flavours and nutrient-dense nutrients to the table.”

Mr Rutvik Shah said, “Mustin has always believed in adapting and offering quality products according to the market and the changing preferences of consumers. So, without compromising on these values, Mustin is making their unshakable presence in the market by offering the best products that strike a perfect balance between being delectable and containing higher nutritional values.”

Dubai (UAE), November 01: In recognition of over two decades of Serial Entrepreneurship and Youth Empowerment Leadership, Founder and CEO of Meghalaya-based AVENUES, Mr. Mark Laitflang Stone, was felicitated with the inaugural edition of AsiaOne’s Asian Youth Empowerment Leader Award 2O2O-21 at the 15th Edition Asia-Africa Business and Social Forum: Awards & Business Summit, which was held on 26th October 2021 at JW Marriott Marquis Hotel, Dubai.

In an effort to promote mutual welfare and facilitate fresher avenues of economic cooperation, networking and investment opportunities in Asia, the Middle East and Africa on a global platform, the one-day mega summit was joined by esteemed dignitaries, which included ambassadors from 8 countries, international business and social leaders such as Dr. Aman Puri – Consul General of the Republic of India in Dubai, Mr. Malraj de Silva – Ambassador of Sri Lanka in Abu Dhabi, Ms. Amal Alblooshi – Director, National Program for Wellbeing, Ministry of Community Development, Government of UAE and Mr. Victor Haruta, Ambassador of The Republic of Moldova to the UAE. Prominent personalities from The Indian Film Industry of Bollywood, including Ms. Urvashi Rautela – Philanthropist & Actress, Ms. Daisy Shah – Actress, Mr. Vivek Oberoi – Actor, Mr. S. Sreesanth – Cricketer and Actor and Mr. Gulshan Grover – Philanthropist, Producer & Actor were also present. More than 200 Brand and Leader Award winners from diverse fields such as Diplomacy, Women Empowerment, Youth Empowerment and Entrepreneurship were felicitated on occasion.

H.E. Dr. Aman Puri, Honourable Chief Guest, spoke at the event, saying, “This is a special evening because we are witnessing something truly unique as eminent personalities from both the diplomatic and business communities are being honoured on a single platform.” He went on to say that it was encouraging to see renowned Indian personalities from the fields of art, culture and business coming together to engage with their global counterparts and showcase the best of Indian innovation, knowledge, creativity, and heritage as India is on its way towards becoming a 5 Trillion Dollar economy.

Although the Summit has gone through 14 editions over the years, it is for the first time that the platform is being used to recognise Youth Empowerment efforts in the region. Taking this decision forward to highlight the pressing need for economic progress through youth empowerment efforts, and following a 6-month nomination process for this award, AsiaOne Magazine recognises the efforts of the Mark Laitflang Stone-led Avenues for its role in pioneering Life Coaching and Personal Development interventions that build Communication, Clarity and Confidence in young people across Northeast India. It is also the first time that a homegrown initiative from Northeast India is being recognised in this context on an international stage.

Speaking at the Summit, Mr. Mark Laitflang Stone said, “There are a number of youth communities around the world, especially in emerging economies, who do not have equal access to equal opportunities. Our interventions in Life Coaching and Soft Skills are driving the region towards economic prosperity simply because we know that if our young people don’t have the ability to celebrate the effort without being criticized for failure, there really will be no progress.” He went on to thank the Government of Meghalaya, the Government of India, Team Avenues, the Shillong community and his family for their support over the years.

It is in recognition of Mr. Mark Laitflang’s twenty-year journey as an award-winning Serial Entrepreneur, Life Coach and Impact Speaker that AsiaOne Magazine has bestowed upon him this prestigious award. From the age of 17, he has led high-impact, benchmarking businesses and teams in Hospitality Services, Skills Development, Events, IT, Telecom and Consulting. At the age of 20, he founded AVENUES – Northeast India’s pioneering Life Coaching and Personal Excellence Training Social Enterprise – where he leads a committed team of young life coaches whose meaningful interventions in soft skills, leadership, capacity building, life coaching and personal development have touched the lives of over 1,00,000 young people across Northeast India. An internationally sought-after Keynote and Impact Speaker, Mark’s coaching initiatives have led him to address audiences in India, Switzerland, Thailand and Brunei.

A culmination of these efforts is visible in a flagship programme – Aspire Meghalaya – which is working towards nurturing Confidence, Well-being and Aspirations through talent-identification efforts in Meghalaya. The programme has so far touched over 10,000 lives across the State’s districts since 2019.

It may be mentioned that AsiaOne is an international media house and the only Pan-Asia Business & News magazine whose pioneering Platform of Excellence recognises and felicitates brand leaders in Asia, Africa and the GCC.

Bangalore, 1st November 2021: Treflo, a Bangalore-based SaaS startup, today announced the launch of a ‘free GST invoice app’ for MSMEs. Treflo is rolling out the tool for free to reach out to India’s 64+ million MSMEs. To make GST invoices, MSMEs can log in and register their customers by entering their GST numbers. After that, it can be made available to customers on Whatsapp, through email, or via SMS. It also offers inventory updates, which makes it convenient for businesses. MSMEs can save over 70% of their time with this productivity tool.

As GST registered business owners in India, the founders of Treflo realized how challenging it is to manage accounts and to deal with portals that fail at precarious points. That is when the company began developing a solution to automate some of the painful daily tasks and eliminate time-consuming processes.

“For India to reach $5 trillion in economic activity by 2025, MSMEs must be supported, digitized, as they form the backbone of our economy. Our free GST invoice app is one step in this direction. We aim to create a one-stop platform that allows businesses to manage their accounts more efficiently, embrace digitalization, and get insights for business growth, all while monitoring compliances and other activities more easily. With Treflo, we want to offer software and technology solutions for MSMEs, including mobility, artificial intelligence, machine learning, voice-activated digital assistants, among others”, said Rahul Meena, Founder and Technology Head, Treflo

Commenting on the launch, Ankit Garg, Product Head, Treflo, said, “The biggest hurdle to technology adoption is a poor digital understanding. We have been obsessed with making tools that are so intuitive that they do not require steep learning curves to ensure ease of use and to reduce compliance time. Having successfully launched B2B enterprise software for some of the very best in the industry, the team’s broad experience in the space makes this ambitious goal very achievable”.

The company also plans to introduce E-way bill automation in November. Treflo’s proprietary technology will make it easy for business owners to create an E-way bill for GST invoices in less than a minute. The company aims to help MSMEs expand and manage their businesses more efficiently with the help of their adaptable Business management solutions. It is also developing technology solutions to fill the void created by the rapid penetration of mobile & internet in India, the introduction of streamlined indirect taxation and compliances in the form of GST, and the growing trend of small & large traders adopting technology.

Treflo is a leading B2B SaaS solutions company focused on providing a single unified Business Management Platform for MSMEs in order to bring the magic sauce of finance & operational management of large organized businesses to MSMEs. Treflo is building products that tie into the current workflow of a Small and Medium Business, integrate and play well with other tools that such Businesses use to manage their daily activities, and ultimately focus on their growth with the help of ML-powered insights for managing their Cash-Flow better.

Treflo’s Solutions have the potential to save over 3 Million hours a month for MSMEs in India by reducing the time it takes to perform activities such as creating an e-way bill. But finding a solution that works for companies of all sizes requires small careful steps; for the first step, the founding team bunched together, coming from diverse Educational & Cultural Backgrounds, to find the ultimate solution.

Amid a shift towards high-performance materials in structural engineering, Apollo Column has assumed greater significance due to its high weight-bearing capacity and enhanced construction speed.

 New Delhi (India), November 01: Apollo Column, India’s largest range of hollow steel sections (HSS), has emerged as the perfect choice for every type of construction. Especially in the Pre-Engineered Buildings segment, it has become an essential feature due to its high weight-bearing capacity and enhanced construction speed. Apollo Column offers hollow steel sections up to 300x300mm in size.

APL Apollo Tubes Limited (APL Apollo), one of the leading branded steel tubes manufactures, has transformed the future of building and construction with this exclusive product range. Apollo Column is known as the heart of Pre-Engineered Building (PEB) due to its superior quality, sturdiness, and ease of bending, punching and drilling.

Mr. Sanjay Gupta, CMD, APL Apollo, said, “The popularity of HSS in construction has increased considerably over the years as engineers have become aware of the advantages of steel tubes. While the HSS are very efficient sections, the closed shape and relatively large moment of inertia about the weak axis make Apollo Column highly resistant against the torsional effects. Apart from their engineering properties, a wide range of benefits are inherent in their shape. Moreover, the architects and engineers can also take advantage of the modern and aesthetically pleasing appearance of Apollo Column.”

Apollo Columns are used extensively in multi-storey buildings, industrial buildings, commercial centres, warehouses, foot overbridges, parking shelters and fuel stations, just to name a few. While the PEB has already seen tremendous growth in the last decade over the conventional building, Apollo Columnenjoys a distinct competitive advantage as the game changer in construction, especially in the PEB construction segment.

Apollo Column is also 10-20% cheaper than conventional PEB; hence it also reduces the overall cost of PEB construction significantly in addition to bringing considerable reduction in weight which further brings down the cost of transportation. Apart from all these benefits, these hollow sections have a lower surface area; hence in those applications where paint is required, it results in using less material and reducing application time, both of which reduces costs. Furthermore, the smooth corners in HSS structures reduce susceptibility to corrosion which lessens the life cycle cost.
