Office Chairs – Save Your Employees’ Backs Office Chair; Most employees in today’s computerized office spend the bulk of their day sitting. While sitting takes less energy to hold the torso erect and balanced, it also introduces certain disadvantages to the body. For instance, the natural curve of the lumbar flattens in a sitting position, which increases disk pressure. Chairs can also apply pressure to the back of the legs, cutting off blood flow to the muscles. These are all contributing factors in producing lower back pain, which statistics show account for more lost work time than the common cold. MAiSPACE Offers Quality Office Cubicles at a Lower Cost Each month, interested readers will receive important information completely devoted to those seeking the latest in office design and how MAiSPACE is “showing the way.” Starting next month we will tell you how MAiSPACE has upped the bar for quality and service in the mid market. Get New Office Furniture, The Old Office Is Dead New Office Furniture; The old office is dead, so is one size fits all office furniture. Diversity is the key in the workspace. The old steel cabinets and sterile and antiseptic cubicles are outmoded. Today, manufacturers, interior architects and designers are competing to introduce new products that reflect the changes in the economy, technology and the way we perceive work. Robert Propst Breaks Ground in Office Cubicle Systems Design Office Cubicle Systems; In 1968, Robert Propst broke ground in office furniture design, with his path breaking office cubicle. It was a revolutionary invention, ahead of his time. The idea of office systems furniture or the office cubicle was a completely movable office where desks and counters could easily adjust to fit the user’s body and movements. A height adjustable workstation allows you to reach the documents and your keyboard while seated or full standing. It's Getting Better All of The Time MAiSPACE, recognized for years as the leading low cost, high quality alternative to high priced office furniture systems, has recently made significant strides in creating the ultimate mid-market furniture package. Now, in addition to their value driven MAiSPACE system and its less expensive cousin, MORSPACE, MAiSPACE is bringing custom wood options, freestanding wood furniture and ergonomic seating to their target audience. "Our goal," says co founder Mark Bassil, "is to not only give the end user a great looking, highly functional product group at a price he can afford, but to also allow them to maintain their standard of excellence and aesthetic within any budget. Small to mid-size companies now have the advantage of buying and looking like the big guys." Weight Plays a Critical Role in Most Industries Throughout most industrial environments, weight plays a critical role. Many commodities are purchased by weight. Most mixing, blending, and formulating processes are weight dependent. Shipping and receiving is weight related. And sales are often based on weight. High Quality Alternative To High Price Office Furniture Systems It wasn't enough for us to provide clients with a low cost, high quality alternative to high priced office furniture systems. We also invested in a service program that allows our relationship to grow as you do. We'll meet your needs today. And we keep on meeting them. "At MAiSPACE we are proud that what differentiates us and our distribution network, is our superior level of in-house support services and a team of dedicated professionals," says Mark Bassil, MAiSPACE co-founder. "Whether you are a small or mid-size company making a major furniture purchase or a large corporation looking for new global furniture standard, MAiSPACE service is second to none." Counting by Weight – Industrial Scales One of the most standard problems found in industry is determining the number of parts in a batch. This is the case for hardware, electronics, plastics, pharmaceutical, and virtually every other industrial application. The usual alternatives are counting by hand, “electric eye” types of machine counting, or when possible the preferred method of counting by weight. A Principal Who Stands on Principle Contrary to popular belief, office furniture dealers aren't all the same. Meet Jeff Pochepan, principal and founder of Strong Project, a "boutique" dealership in El Segundo, California. Why, you may ask? Because in this global economy and chaotic time where it seems design and quality have been forsaken for quantity, a business owner whose isn't afraid to stand firm in his belief to deliver excellent value, is a breath of fresh air. Jeff has spent 15 years building his business around creating and delivering high quality contemporary environments at an affordable price. His compact, but intelligent showroom is a testament to this philosophy and is bursting with ideas. Integration of Style and Value within Modular Office Cubicles At MAiSPACE, we have integrated style and value with modular office cubicles that look and work great in any work environment. We provide a wide range of modular office cubicle products that are easy to configure to fit any office environment and manufactured with the highest industry standards in office furniture. Satisfaction with Savings on Office Furniture When College Loan Corporation, headquartered in Poway, California consolidated several locations into a leased 135,000 square foot, renovated warehouse it had two goals: to provide a vibrant new workspace for a predominantly young staff and to stay within budget. The Birth of Office Cubicles It started back in the sixties. For decades, before the birth of the office cubicle, offices had been designed around the hierarchy of “boss vs subordinate. A typical commercial floor plan showed rows and rows of desks surrounded by a series of small, private offices. Support workers were visible and vulnerable to distraction. There work area was devoid of personalization and ignorant of personal work style. Internet Marketing, A Marathon … not a Sprint Ever get the look …The look when discussing intrernet marketing and its potentialwith clients. The look that says “what are you talking about?” The incredulous look about what it really takes to be successful marketing on the internet. Internet Marketing is nothing short of a big race. If you are a brand new website, your competitors already on the web are already ahead of you. If this race were across the United States and we are all trying to get to California from New York, your competition can be anywhere from Ohio to Nevada. So by the time your website is created and launched, your competition still holds a wide advantage in the “race to California.” Moving On Up, While Keeping Cost Down for Office Cubicles! When Monarch Health out grew its existing space in Technology Park in Irvine California it decided to lease an additional 24,000 square feet in the same development. "We didn't want to risk loosing any employees with the move and the Park's central location with the proximity to Interstates 5 and 405 has worked well for us," according to Tom Wilshart, Office Administrator for Monarch Health. Understanding The Right Systems Furniture Configuration For Your Company While a facility, on its own, can’t make a firm successful, a short sighted or unhealthy work environment can hinder productivity. Systems furniture was introduced to give corporations the ability to positively impact their productivity and profitability through the use of well designed products that successfully target office planning issues. Smart and Beautiful Office Furniture ScienceFirst has achieved success in the medical field by helping clients work smarter through an integrated marketing and education process. Naturally, they would make similarly wise decisions when it came to furnishing their own, new facility in Northern New Jersey. With a limited construction and furniture budget and high aesthetic expectations; every dollar had to be used wisely. Aesthetics and Worker Productivity With Quality Office Furniture It has been said that attractive surroundings contribute to worker morale, productivity and support the recruitment process. Today, dramatic designs and a wide variety of colors and textures are affordable options in systems products. Modern manufacturing and assembly techniques, when coupled with state-ofthe- art approaches to supply chain strategies and distribution systems, put beauty, durability, functionality and choice within reach of what otherwise would be considered modest budgets. Practicing What We Preach With Our Office Furniture In the past few years, MAiSPACE's solid business plan, value driven product and strong sales contributed to its explosive growth. By the end of 2005 MAiSPACE, like many of its customers, was too small for its corporate headquarters and in desperate need of a new, larger space. With a lack of suitable facilities on the market that could function as both a storage/ distribution center and a prime office space (which needed to include a showroom, training facility and open and private offices), company officers found a terrific location that was a basic, raw warehouse shell. Its potential was apparent and gave the company a chance to transform the space for themselves as they have done for so many others. Why Are Google Shares Soaring? To understand the success and the focus of Optimum7 Internet Marketing you need to know the answer to this question. It speaks directly to the understanding of the long used phrase “the power of the internet.” What is the power of the internet? Why is Google so important? Why is the stock price $700 per share? OFFICE CUBICLES and CRAFTING THE RFP The following paragraphs describe considerations that should go into crafting an RFP (Request for Proposals) to office furniture dealers and distributors supplying technology-compatible modular office systems. Managers may place more weight on certain considerations over others, but should insist that their vendors strive to meet all of these desirable features. Wood Office Furniture For Your Office Perception is everything. The way people view your company, your abilities and your facility can influence their decisions about who they do business with. Success is at the core of that perception. That is where wood office furniture plays a role. Whether you use it in your reception area to welcome visitors, your conference and meeting rooms or your private offices, its appearance conveys one thing. Success. The solid feel and warmth of wood office furniture paints a picture of your organization that you work hard, achieve your goals and take pride in your work space. You are the kind of organization people want to work with and work for. To enhance both the look and efficiency of your work environment, MAiSPACE offers a beautifully designed, free standing wood office furniture collection, MAiOFFICE. This product collection features modular pieces that fully integrate with the MAiSPACE system to deliver the complete office at a budget friendly price point. Finding the Perfect Open Office Furniture With the advent of ever increasing cost for commercial real estate, companies seeking to reduce or minimize overhead have had to try to efficiently accommodate their employees in smaller work places. The architectural solution is the open office. When open office furniture was introduced in the 1960’s, buildings were generally designed and constructed differently. Much of the average office facility was laid out with a series of walled, widowed offices, interior conferencing areas and strings of long connecting, corridors. Smaller, open administrative bullpen areas were filled with desks back to back, giving workers little “working” space and no privacy. The design became too expensive and was resistant to change. Open office furniture became the conduit for new building design. How To Properly Weigh Volume With The Right Scale One of the most common tasks is to fill a number of containers with the same amount of material. These containers come in many shapes and sizes. They may be as simple as a cardboard box. Or they may be large cartons or even totes. For liquid or powdered materials, they may be pails or drums, or larger tanks. Liquefied gases may also be filled into tanks or cylinders. About Optimum7 Internet Marketing Company Optimum7 is an Internet Marketing Company based in Morristown, NJ with offices in Miami, FL. Our primary focus is helping small to medium sized businesses achieve online marketing success. Our clients come to Optimum7 after failing to achieve their marketing objectives online and offline. The most common thread is that after designing and launching the website, the leads and / or the online sales that were expected just didn’t materialize Knobbe Martin Case Study of Office Furniture Knobbe Martens Olson & Bear LLP, one of the largest intellectual property law firms in the U.S., recently moved into its 140,000 square foot corporate headquarters in Irvine, California. MAiSPACE was there, dressed as custom cherry veneer workstations for 212 administrative personnel. MAiSPACE dealer/distributor Vertex Business Interiors, Tustin, CA, teamed with Knobbe Martens' Newport Beach-based architectural and design firm Gensler in creating the custom designed workstations to blend in with walls, bookshelves, and other furnishings throughout the 6 floors of office space. College Loan Corporation Consolidates into Elegant MAiSPACE Quarters College Loan Corporation, headquartered in Poway, California, is a top 10 student loan provider, managing more than $10 billion in student loan assets. When the company consolidated several locations into a leased 135,000 square foot renovated warehouse it worked with interior design and strategic planning firm ID Studios and MAiSPACE dealer Integrated Commercial Environments LLC. The goal: to provide a vibrant new workspace for a predominantly young staff operating the company’s 24x7 call center and supporting departments. Internet Marketing, A Marathon, this is not a Sprint Ever get the look …The look when discussing intrernet marketing and its potentialwith clients. The look that says “what are you talking about?” The incredulous look about what it really takes to be successful marketing on the internet. An Introduction to High Performance Office Cabling Systems The massive increase in intelligence being accessed from the workplace puts severe demands on office planners and managers as they work to resolve two somewhat conflicting objectives. On one hand they want a robust voice and data cabling system capable of accurate high-speed transmissions and to avoid network down time that can be extremely costly . On the other hand they must accommodate an increasingly dynamic and constantly changing workplace where ongoing moves, adds and changes (MACs) to work areas reflect a trend toward office reconfigurations that best support the types of work being done. These MACs traditionally meant disruptions to the workplace as cabling systems were taken down, rerouted and reconnected to serve a revised floorplan. Optimum7 Consulting Optimum7 Consulting is much more than a stand-alone service. It is the way we do business throughout all of the processes and collaborative efforts we are engaged in with and for our clients. Consulting begins with understanding and understanding begins with listening and listening begins with questions. So it is questions that really begin the consulting process to understand the clients past and present situation, the business and marketing objectives, the present and future expectations, the budget to accomplish the objectives, the timeline involved towards accomplishing these goals. MAiSPACE has become synonymous with value in systems furniture. For smart buyers and facility planners, MAiSPACE has become synonymous with value in systems furniture. . Why MAiSPACE? Because they offer high quality and award winning features at up to 40% less than the major manufacturers. Nowhere else can you get exceptional design and technology features, and low cost. Maispace believes no contract furniture manufacturer can match their quality at their price points. It’s that simple. This innovative product was designed with the industry acronym of “Modular Architectural Interiors” (MAI) as its motivation. If you’re going to change - and you are- a modular product should do it easily and yet be architecturally sound. This gives you flexibility and strength. It reduces costly installation and reconfiguration time. And you don’t need to buy lots of new parts (and inventory the old ones) every time you make modifications. Exercising Due Diligence Having examined their requirements and satisfying themselves that category 6 cabling is the best solution to their network requirements, office planners should prepare themselves to evaluate the offerings of various vendors’ responses to an RFP. This will equip them to sort through various marketing hype and find out if, indeed, the proposed components deliver a network that is up to spec. Here the key word is components. There are several that together make up the office LAN. In addition to the cabling itself, there are connectors, jacks, patch cords and other components that contribute to connectivity. Accurate Weight Can Mean Many Different Things For industrial purposes, accurate weight can mean many different things. When weighing a box for shipping by parcel service, it is only necessary to be accurate to the nearest pound. For this purpose, a scale should be chosen with at least four times this accuracy to avoid always “rounding up” to make sure the correct weight is not under reported. This will typically save 1 lb of extra reported weight in 50% of the packages shipped, or on average, ½ lb per package. It is evident that with even a moderate number of packages shipped, significant savings can result. Nonetheless, bench scales with accuracies of ¼ lb are not considered to be very accurate. Advances in Modular Office Furniture Systems Today, modular open office panel systems are offered by a variety of manufacturers. Office managers and planners are confronted with a bewildering array of designs and price options. Purchasing decisions have grown more complex with the need to accommodate the massive increase in intelligence being accessed by employees. The term “computer-intensive workspace” describes a totally different environment than that of 30 years ago when a telephone, electric typewriter or shared word processing systems comprised office technology. Incorporating Technology, Versatility and Design in Movable Wall Office Systems Office planning for today’s multitasked workplace environment requires a carefully planned and tailored blend of workspace layouts and floorplans to accommodate personnel employing a wide range of skill sets. Today’s new approach to office planning is a direct result of experience gained over the past decade. Throughout this period it has been dramatically demonstrated that one size does not fit all when it comes to fostering workplace productivity and employee morale. MAiSPACE Systems Revolutionized The Contract Furniture Industry For smart buyers and facility planners, MAiSPACE has become synonymous with value in systems furniture. MAiSPACE offers high quality and award winning features at up to 40% less than the major manufacturers. Nowhere else can you get exceptional design, technology features, and low cost. No contract furniture manufacturer can match their quality at their price points...It’s that simple! This innovative product line was developed with the industry acronym of “Modular Architectural Interiors” (MAI) as its motivation. “When planning your office interior, you have to realize you ARE going to change at some point.” says MAiSPACE vice president Mark Bassil, "You have to purchase a modular product that can do it easily and still be architecturally sound which is the premise of MAiSPACE. This improves your flexibility moving forward while reducing costly installation and reconfiguration time. It also diminishes the need to buy new parts every time modifications are made." What is Social Bookmarking and Why is it a Useful Marketing Technique? Social Bookmarking is the flagship of the web 2.0 movement. The basic concept behind social bookmarking is similar to “Add to Favorites” or “Bookmarks” that you are most familiar with using your web browsers like Firefox or Explorer. The bookmarks you create are stored on your computer though. Social bookmarking allows you to store the information online, so you can access it anywhere, anytime. The difference is that when you bookmark a page within a social bookmarking system, you are allowing your bookmarks to be seen across the web. Elements of Design in Systems Furniture First impressions play at least two roles in a successful business enterprise. Good first impressions send the message “this is a successful firm” to prospective customers. Good first impressions send the message “this company cares about its people” to prospective employees. Ecommerce Systems and Packages Ecommerce is the business of selling products and services on the internet. Since the introduction of banking transfers back in the 70’s, Ecommerce technology has developed rapidly. It was mainly referred to as “Electronic Commerce” then. It evolved to what we know as “Internet Business” today after the introduction of World Wide Web in the early 90’s. Retail business was limited to local stores, shopping centers, mail order and phone order up until the 90’s but Ecommerce changed all that. Doing business online enables you to reach millions of people without the bricks and mortar. Office Cubicles, the invention of Robert Propst Cubicles were invented 40 years ago by Robert Propst. It was a path breaking invention that changed the way we perceive the workplace and redefined the rules about what the office should look like. Cubicles transformed the office dramatically. Once demonized, mocked, and criticized, cubicles are still with us, and it doesn’t seem like they are going to disappear in the near future. Last year, office cubicle sales reached $ 4.4 billion, representing 36% of all office-furniture sales. Large Floor Scales Are Available To Implement At Different Situations There are many different situations that require weighing large amounts. There are also a number of different sizes and capacities of Large Floor Scales available to implement these different situations. One of the most common applications is weighing pallets for outgoing shipping or incoming receiving. One of the most standard pallet sizes is 40” x 48”. So one of the most standard Large Floor Scales have a platform size of 48” x 48”, making it very easy to place the pallet on the platform. A typical scale capacity is 5,000 lb, with a weight readability of 1 lb. Other capacities are also available, such as 2,500 lb, 10,000 lb and 20,000 lb. Call Center Systems Furniture: Making Work Stations Worker Friendly Finding qualified personnel to staff call center help desks is increasingly challenging for companies selling and servicing high-technology products or offering professional services such as credit counseling. Call center personnel must be highly trained as well as motivated to provide timely, courteous service across a wide variety of customers and business segments. Ongoing training and employment incentives, while crucial to maintaining a quality call center staff, are only part of the solution to running a successful business. Also needed is an atmosphere conducive to hiring and retaining the staff. Properly Weighing Industrial Gases Liquefied gases are used throughout various industrial processes. Nitrogen and other gasses are often provided in liquefied form for cryogenic purposes. Liquefied carbon dioxide is used for the production of various chemicals, manufacture of fertilizers, plastics and rubber, use in fire extinguisher systems, carbonation of soft drinks, and a very wide variety of other applications. The semiconductor industry uses a number of other liquefied gases for the process of wafers and other applications. The welding industry is another large consumer of liquefied gases Paid Search Management and Pay Per Click Explained Paid Search Management is a search engine marketing method where the advertisers pay for every click the network brings to their sites. This method of online marketing has become hugely popular with the introduction of Google Adwords. The early form of Paid Search Management started with banner ads and advertisements on specific industry sites. What makes Adwords so successful is that it’s a lot more targeted because your Ads will only appear if somebody searches for it How Great Office Cubicles Designs Adds To Productivity Office cubicles offer privacy and a degree of protection from distractions in and around the office workspace. As opposed to a having work desks lined up in rows, facing one another, cubicles were developed to provide each employee with his/her personal workspace. This helps the employee focus better on his/her work and does not subject them to being exposed to other employees and the office environment in general, which could be full of sounds and distractions not conducive to the optimal performance of an individual. Advances in Industrial Scale Technology Industrial scale technology has been fairly stagnant for a number of years. The predominant technology has been strain gage load cells. When increased accuracy is required, magnetic force restoration, also known as magnetic force motor transducers are used. The disadvantage of force restoration is significantly increase cost. Recently, though, Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) scales have been introduced by Arlyn Scales. These Ultra Precision scales provide the accuracy of force restoration at a much lower cost. Budget-Friendly Systems Furniture for School Administrators The “teachers’ room” of yesteryear has come a long way from a hideaway to get away and have a cup of coffee. Today’s faculty rooms and regional administration centers are built around modular “intelligent” furniture systems served by local and wide area networks (LANs and WANs) designed to facilitate communication and collaboration necessary to manage the K-12 and beyond educational process. They also must be flexible enough to handle ongoing floor space reconfigurations and adopting new technology. Online Branding - Style or Substance? If I had to pick just one, it would be substance. When I refer to style, I am limiting the definition to items such as logo, name and title, public relations, advertising. While these and more are all important factors in creating a look and feel for your online visitors, they are all clearly secondary to substance. So what do we mean when we speak of substance? Substance, in its essence, refers to those elements that create a lasting impression, a unique and lasting “user experience.” In the real world of bricks and mortar, we can all quickly name scores of successful brands. They all have one thing in common … a distinctive and easily recognizable customer experience that is repeatable interaction after interaction, transaction after transaction. Incorporating Technology, Versatility and Design in Movable Wall Office Systems Office planning for today’s multitasked workplace environment requires a carefully planned and tailored blend of workspace layouts and floorplans to accommodate personnel employing a wide range of skill sets. Today’s new approach to office planning is a direct result of experience gained over the past decade. Throughout this period it has been dramatically demonstrated that one size does not fit all when it comes to fostering workplace productivity and employee morale. Bi-Coastal Presence of Systems Furniture Increased sales growth caused the expansion of MAiSPACE’s east coast headquarters (see Newsletter Volume 7). MAiSPACE realized the burgeoning west coast market needed a local presence as well. “Our customers and dealers deserve to have the same level of attention and service as those on the East coast were accustomed to,” according to Mark Bassil, Vice President, Marketing. In early 2008, the company opened a new showroom and distribution facility in Garden Grove, California (Oranvge County), with a total of 37,000 square feet of operating space. Having established a proven business model on the east coast, MAiSPACE used the New Jersey site as a “blueprint” for the California facility. The new facility needed to function as both a regional distribution center and showroom with functional workspaces. Discount Office Cubicles From Maispace Looking for discount office cubicles?

We offer a full range of quality, easy-to-install-and-reconfigure discount office cubicles to help your company quickly and easily find the right workspace solution at the right price. Office Furniture California Getting all new custom office furniture can be exciting and also bring about a sense of accomplishment for any business. Many measure a company's worth by first impressions, and it is important to make a good first impression on clients, customers, and even employees. While purchasing office furniture, it is important to consider workplace as “workplace culture” as well as employee trends. This helps maintain and promote a healthy work environment. When purchasing furniture, one needs to think about the company's mission and the feelings the company wants to promote. If a company wishes to create a formal and professional office culture, it should purchase rigid furniture, whereas, if a company hopes to create a more relaxed workplace, it could invest in more creative styles. At MAiSPACE, we have designed state of the art desks and cubicle walls, which keep employees isolated and help to promote individualism. We also have developed, by contrast, shared office spaces and lower cubicle walls, which would help to create a more relaxed atmosphere and encourage a higher level of teamwork. Creative Workplaces from Maispace Office Furiture Every day, our life is full of challenges. Hitting the traffic, going to work, dealing with customers, colleagues, employees and piles of papers, are some of the expected challenges we face. There are also unexpected ones that we encounter on a daily basis. We need to come up with solutions. A satisfying, nurturing, stimulating, and creative workplace can help individuals take control of not only the expected but also unexpected situations. Office Cubicles and the Workplace Today, it is hard to think of a workplace without office cubicles. Office cubicles are the sine qua non of workplaces. Office cubicles allow businesses to relocate, reconfigure, and modify their floor plans instantaneously. Leading modular office systems manufacturer, MAiSPACE, revolutionized the contract furniture industry by introducing office furniture products that, through fine craftsmanship and intelligent design, provides the solution to your workplace challenges. How to Dominate a Niche Category This quick tutorial is an overview of the most common way Internet marketers have been able to control a niche category online. When entering a new niche/industry online, the path most website owners take is create only 1 site and build upon that site over time. Most “gurus” know this creates some common problems. The biggest problem is competition: 1 versus thousands/millions of other sites in the industry. How to be green with Office Furniture The typical office is the last place that you could think of to go green, but you might need to rethink. Today, companies are going green not only to create a healthy work environment for their employees but also to increase their profits. They are hiring environmental officers to help them benefit from the”green wave.” These companies recognize that if your office does not conform to environmental standards, it will become increasingly difficult to attract business and retain a dynamic, ever-changing, and diverse workforce. If you are not promoting sustainability, you might be doomed to fail before very long. Professional Web Analytics Services Web Analytics is the study of the interaction of web users with a website.

The Better Office Cubicles Manufacturer Office cubicles, much criticized, mocked, and demonized, are still the wave of the present and the future in modern office design. Last year, office cubicle sales reached $ 4.4 billion, representing 36% of all office-furniture sales. Office cubicles are just right when designed and manufactured with careful attention to style, ergonomics, functionality and productivity. Customized office cubicles are ingenious inventions allowing people to enjoy privacy while communicating with co-workers and exchanging ideas. To Outsource or not to Outsource? SEO and PPC Most Asked Question! It’s a legitimate question and has always been. “Should I outsource my Internet Marketing or do it in house?” In my career of almost 8 years, I’ve been asked this question many times. The answer is; it depends Every owner, manager or decision maker wants to select the best solution for his business. However, sometimes that might not be an easy task. There are certain points that must be evaluated thoroughly before making a decision. Search Engine Optimization takes lots of time, effort and patience. I believe it’s in the best interest of companies to outsource online marketing to reliable firms with years of expertise. Here are some very logical reasons why; Important Features of Platform Animal Scales The most important characteristic of an industrial scale is its technical specifications, including its capacity, its accuracy and its resolution. The second most important characteristic is the user interface. This is what allows the scale users to indicate the information they are looking for, and to have that information presented to them. There are a wide variety of industrial scales available for different applications. These include floor scales, platform scales, bench scales, parts counting scales, cylinder scales crane scales, and many others. Most of them are based on the same technology, that is, strain gage load cells. Therefore, the technical specifications are going to be quite similar among the high quality brands, such as Arlyn Scales, among others. Boost Office Productivity with Smart, Elegant Systems Furniture It “2007 Trends Recap” published in December, Today’s Facility Manager noted that “Furniture must always match the needs of the people working in a space, and the trends of 2007 reflected this necessity.” The article reported that there was a time when each employee within an organization had a dedicated work station from which he or she rarely escaped during the workday. This is no longer the case. With wireless technology and an increasing number of people taking advantage of flexible work schedules, the offices of today barely resemble those that existed just 10 years ago. Weight Is a Critical Factor In Most Industries Weight measurement is one of the most common industrial processes, and is performed by a wide variety of industrial scales. Bench scales may be used to weigh ingredients for various types of formulation. Platform scales can weigh the contents of 55 gallon drums. Parts counting scales are used to weigh components, and calculate the number of components based on weight. Floor scales weigh incoming and outgoing shipments. Accommodating Computer Density in the Workstation Managing horizontal cabling supporting an ever-increasing number of intelligent peripherals at, or accessed from, the workplace can be a challenge for a company’s IT personnel. Challenges can be particularly vexing in today’s open offices where cubicles can be moved or workstations added or changed almost on a whim in order to respond to new business requirements. Find a Great Quality Wheelchair scale Wheelchair scales can be an important health instrument for a significant number of people. While a standard physician scale is generally sufficient for monitoring the weight of a typical person, there are a number of people who are unable to use this type of scale. A person who has trouble standing because of age or poor health will not be able to use a regular scale. A bariatric patient may not be able to support their weight for a long enough period of time to stand on a scale. A patient whose weight must be constantly monitored over a long period of time might have to remain in a wheel chair. A Primer on Office LAN Cabling Systems When it comes to thinking about office voice and data local area networks (LANs), chances are most office managers and executives would rather not. “LANs by and large are highly reliable infrastructures for keeping staff in contact with each other and, via extranets, with the firm’s customers, suppliers and other publics,” says Mark Bassil, co-founder and vice president of MAiSPACE, a Mt. Olive, NJ, based manufacturer of modular office furniture systems. “Workstation computers, along with printers and other peripherals grow increasingly reliable, and the cabling that connects them with each other and the outside world is capable of handling ever increasing speeds. This infrastructure, in part, is one of the main reasons that the United States is the most productive nation in the world.” Quality Office Furniture Vs the Cheap There are as many office furniture manufacturers as there are office furniture systems on the market today. In fact, of the almost $11 billion shipped a year in office furniture products, 36% is furniture systems. So whyMAiSPACE? Because we guarantee you award-winning technology features and unparalleled design at price points that you can’t find anywhere else. Our motto is quality office furniture at affordable prices. Electronic Scales Are Heavily Used In Agricultural Industries Electronic scales are heavily used throughout the agricultural industries. Bench scales are used to weigh out seed, chemical additives, and other small items. Platform scales weigh out small amounts of feed, monitor feed usage, weigh 55 gallon drums of fluids, and can even be used to track the weight of animals. Large floor scales can be used to weigh cattle, or larger amounts of contents. Bin scales may be used to keep track of the amount of feed used. Custom scales are designed for a very wide range of specialty weighing requirements. SEO – Significance to C-Level Executives C-Level Executives have an important stake in the online business performance of their company websites. However, CEOs, COOs, CFO’s and other top execs are no different than any other top executives and business owners when it comes to their website and “the purpose of it all.” Often they are frustrated that a good deal of company money has been spent on website design and promotion yet the early optimism has faded with time as the hoped-for results in terms of sales, profitability and corporate efficiency just didn’t materialize. What happened to Microsoft Silverlight? About a year ago there was talk about a Flash/Ajax eliminator. Microsoft was unveiling a new competing plug-in that would blow Flash, Ajax, JavaScript, and CSS apparently all out of the water. It was based on the .Net technology, and at the same time was cross browser AND cross operating system compatible. How Airlines Calculate Passenger Luggage Weight Air travel has become widespread throughout the United States and throughout the world. Commercial aviation carries millions of passengers on tens of thousands of aircraft. Generally, the weight of a specific passenger, or the weight of their luggage, is of little consequence in the operation of a commercial jet. Over a long period of time, airlines have developed statistical information as to the average weight of the passenger and luggage. This information is used to determine safe weight loads for the specific aircraft, fuel loading requirements for specific flights, and the amount of cargo that they may be able to load on any individual flight. Of course, significant safety margins have been built into these values A Human Centered Approach In The Office Employee satisfaction is highly correlated with job performance and productivity. There are numerous factors that affect worker satisfaction, however, recent research indicates a strong relationship between workplace design and employee satisfaction. According to a recent study, workplace design that allows employees to control their work environment increases satisfaction and productivity. That is, workers with control over their working space consistently report greater satisfaction with their jobs. Website Optimization Website Optimization and Internet Marketing are synonymous terms. The major supporting cast or specialty is Search Engine Optimization or SEO. However SEO is often misunderstood. It is not at all unusual to speak with prospective clients that think SEO is all about meta tags, title tags and even "tricks". Search Engine Advertising Search Engine Advertising is a term I see from time to time that is inherently confusing. Some use this term interchangeably with Sponsored Search or Pay Per Click Advertising as in Google Adwords. Of course, these are actual advertisements that are tied to specific keyword phrases. As such they are targeted advertisements because they are only viewed based on the keyword itself. Others use this term to mean Organic Search Engine Optimization or SEO which in fact are not advertisements. Rather, these are listings based strictly on relevance as rated by the search engines themselves. Adwords Management and Its Importance to You The difference between making and losing money in a PPC campaign is all too often directly attributable to a lack of, or even, non-existent Adwords Management. Customized Cubicles without Sticker Shock For many the workspace is a home for one third of the day. While there are variations in time of occupancy during the work week, an employee’s home away from home says a lot about the employee and the company for whom he or she works. Converting Visitors to Buyers Search Engine Marketing is only 50% complete when you start getting visitors to your website in volume due to successfully achieving high rankings for your targeted keywords. You now have visitors … now you need buyers. No one knows on day one what will convert visitors to buyers. We know that the first objective is to get the attention of the buyer within a few seconds because that is all the time you have to “grab” the visitor. How Do They Weight Food For Packaging? Within an industrial application, it is often desirable to keep track of the weight of an item as it changes over time. The simplest example of this is a tank of liquid or liquefied gas that is used in an industrial process. The material may be an adhesive that is dispensed onto a substrate. Or it may be a coating or paint that is sprayed on an object. Alternatively, multiple ingredients are often fed into a mixing container, and the amount in each container must be recorded. Other applications include a gas that is used during the etching process of a semiconductor wafer or resist or masking material that is used in the same procedure. Within the food industry, a wide variety of liquids, powders or other materials are mixed together in fixed recipes. Search Engine Marketing Consultants Search Engine Marketing Consultants, as the term “consultant” implies, provide analysis, guidance and usually implementation of Search Engine Marketing strategies and procedures. However, the definition by itself does little justice to the important areas of emphasis that you must look for in a true SEM Consultant. A Better Web Experience is on The Horizon Recently Apple announced the iPhone 2.0, renamed "OS X iPhone" and an interested new Operating System Upgrade called "Snow Leopard 10.6.” The interesting part about these is how the two releases interact together. "Snow Leopard" will not be a major upgrade like "Leopard" but a more of a speed and stability upgrade which will allow its devices to operate smoother. They are also going with a full Intel 64 bit processing for speed and more stability thus dropping Power PC support. Bold New Choices in Freestanding Office Furniture Today the term freestanding office furniture has evolved from "what else is there?" to become one of the many choices available for office facility planners and interior designers. This contrasts to the time when the office landscape consisted only of freestanding desks, tables, files and other accouterments whose design and style, if any, depended primarily on the status of the office occupant. Search Around the World - The Google Reality It is now estimated that there are over 1.5 million searches conducted worldwide EVERY MINUTE! With the exception of China, Google dominates around the world just the same way it has in the US since its inception about a decade ago. The Different Displays of Industrial Scales Graphical User Interface, or GUI, is a very popular word in the description of a machine to human interaction. In order to be useful to people, nearly every mechanical or electronic device has to have a method of telling it what to do, and seeing what it is doing. Some of the earliest types of user interfaces were simple levers, that allowed a mechanism to be placed into one condition or another. This might be for a plow, or other similar device. Mechanical gear shifts still use this type of action. How Do They Accurately Weight Packages Commercial freezers are used in a wide variety of industrial applications. Meat freezers store product at different levels of processing, from the slaughter house, through wholesale processing, packaging, and finally retail distribution. Commercial fish processing has very similar requirements, and may even include freezers on board the fishing fleets. There are many other food related freezer applications including frozen packaged meals, frozen vegetables and fruits, frozen bakery products, frozen juices, and of course ice cream. How To Properly Mix Paint By Weight Formulating and mixing industrial and automotive paints requires mixing some of the ingredients in very precise amounts. Many of the base materials do not have to be carefully controlled. But those ingredients that determine the color can be very critical. Small differences between batches can result in very noticeable differences in color. Industry requires that color remains exactly consistent from batch to batch, and over time. Supporting Teaming with Systems Furniture When Kelly Johnson brought together a hand-picked team of Lockheed engineers and manufacturing people at Burbank in the wartime year of 1943, each team member was cautioned that design and production of the new P-80 Shooting Star jet fighter must be carried out in strict secrecy. No one was to discuss the project outside the small organization, and team members were even warned to be careful how they answered the telephones. High Efficient Printing and Industrial Weighing Scales The printing business has evolved in many ways. During the last many decades, technology has changed the way that pages are prepared for printing from the days of setting type by hand to computerized page setup. Printing presses were first powered by hand, then by electric motors, and have now become sophisticated machines with pneumatic actuators, electronic controls, and data collection devices to monitor the entire process. Recycling, Recycled Products and Benefits of Industrial Electronic Weighing Scales In the current economic environment, it is critically important to reduce waste and improve efficiency. The cost of many raw materials, and the energy to convert these materials into usable products, has increased dramatically during the last few years. Various industrial metals, including steel, copper, and aluminum have seen particularly large increases in cost. Some of the more exotic materials, including platinum, silver and gold have been equally volatile. Even wood products and paper have also become more expensive. Those materials that are based on petroleum, including many plastics, have also been strongly affected. Industrial Platform Scales; Mechanic vs. Electronic Platform scales are probably the most common measurement devices found throughout industry. Every company that ships parts and materials will use a scale so that they can determine the weight of the package, and therefore the cost of transportation. Goods that are received by the company may be weighed on the scale to confirm that the proper amount has been received. Any time that a container is being fill is appropriate for using a platform scale. The weight of the container could be tared, and the net weight of the contents carefully measured. Where drums of material are being dispensed into a process, a scale would be used to provide an alarm when the drum was almost empty, and could also be used to monitor the usage of the material. Digital Bench Scales and Used in Food, Packaging & Other Industries Many production lines use industrial bench scales for many different kinds of functions. They are used throughout the food industry for portion control. As a variety of pre-packaged meals are assembled, the scale can provide information to the worker that allows the correct amount of each course to be properly arranged. Packages being prepared for freezing or refrigeration must be weighed for accuracy. If too much product is filled, it could impact the profitability for the company. It is critical that enough product be packaged to meet labeling requirements. Arlyn Scales Introduces Internet Connected Inventory Control System East Rockaway, NY August 15, 2008 -- Arlyn Scales Introduces Inventory Control System with Internet Connectivity Inventory control has always been critically important for production and manufacturing. Clearly, it is important to make certain that there are enough parts to produce the correct number of assemblies. These may include fastener components, such as screws, rivets, washers, bolts, nuts and others. Drum Scales with Platforms and How Industrial Fluids are Weighed and Packaged Many different kinds of industrial fluids are packaged in a variety of different size drums. This can include food grade ingredients, such as oils, extracts, juices and flavorings. Bulk quantities of food products, such as prepared syrups, soups, condiments and many others are also filled into drums. Chemical products, such as solvents, detergents, acids, surfactants, reagents and others are also packed, stored and shipped in drums. There are other industrial liquids also packed in drums, including paints, inks, lubricants, cleansers and a wide range of other products. Arlyn Scales Introduces Ultra Precision Scales with New Technology .Electronic Industrial Scales are among the most common instruments used throughout a variety of different industries. Industrial engineers and purchasers of electronic scales have two overriding characteristics that they must trade off in their purchasing decision; accuracy and cost. There have traditionally been two predominant technologies that are used by the vast majority of these scales. The first is strain gage load cells, which offer good accuracy and lower costs. The second is force motor, or force restoration technology which offers excellent accuracy and high costs. Hazardous Environment Scales and Intrinsically Safe Industrial Equipment Industrial manufacturing environments must always have safety as a first priority. It is simply good business practice to design a manufacturing facility so that all safety hazards are minimized as much as possible. It is also required by law and code that the many safety rules be implemented. These rules may refer to toxic fumes and materials, physical dangers on moving equipment, proper signage and lighting, and flammable and explosive materials. Filling and Batching Operations Used with Industrial Scales in Automotive Industry Filling operations appear throughout industry. Some of the most common requirements are for filling 55 gallon drums with different types of liquids. In the automotive industry, these liquids may include oils, lubricants, glycol solutions or other materials. In the painting industry, these drums will hold paint base, pigments, and solvents. The food industry fills a wide variety of food grade products, including extracts, alcohols, edible oils, emulsifiers, juices, and a variety of finished products. Every other industry has its own group of common materials. Industrial Scales Build with New SAW Technology and Accuracy Industrial scales are used to accurately measure weight in virtually every process imaginable. They are used to precisely mix ingredients and components in the chemical industry, for inks and dyes, paints, cleaning compounds, fertilizers, and rubber compounds. Digital scales weigh food additives, coloring agents, flavorings, spices and herbs, and sweeteners within the food industry. Office Cubicles: Trapped or Free? .Are you happy at work or do you feel trapped? Overwhelmed by the workload and the long hours? Do you constantly face pressure? It sure matters to employers whether their employees are happy at work. A healthy workplace is vital for employee performance and productivity, which in turn leads to growth and profit. Companies have to invest in the right kind of environment to boost employee satisfaction, wellbeing, and productivity. This can be achieved byintelligent interior office design. Gas Cylinder Scales That Are Designed to Determine Weight Easily The semiconductor industry is often thought of as being at the leading edge of technology. That is certainly the case in many of the operations necessary for producing today’s microprocessor and memory devices. But in fact, most of the processes required for fabricating integrated circuits are much more standard levels of complexity. For example, a number of different types of gasses are used during the manufacturing procedure. These gasses are used when applying or etching layers off of a silicon substrate. Modern Office Furniture and Advanced Interior Designs Interior office design is critical in today’s corporate world. One of the major demands that's driving the business environment is the need for workspace that promotes team spirit, and yet is flexible enough to reconfigure and redesign with a minimum of downtime. In a world where time is a scarce resource, efficient interior design is everything. Stainless Steel Construction to Avoid Damage to Industrial Scales Electronic measuring instruments are designed to provide very accurate results. For industrial applications, there are instruments for measuring temperature, pressure, voltage and current, color, light levels, sound frequency and amplitude, velocity, and a very wide variety of other values. Modern Industrial Scale and Its User Interface People develop machines to perform desired functions. It is important, of course, that the machine perform its task accurately, quickly, and efficiently without interfering with anyone or anything else. But the machine will basically be useless if a human operator is not able to easily and effectively tell the machine what to do, and if the machine cannot report its results back to the operator. The Decluttered Workspace Our lives tend to accumulate clutter in every corner: on our desks, in our drawers, on our shelves, and around our computer -- you name it, and clutter finds a way to fill every available space. Allocate a little of your time to tossing clutter from your life, and keeping things relatively clutter-free, and you'll be rewarded with a much more pleasing workspace, with a less stressful life, and with better organization and productivity. Clutter weighs us down, distracts us, and brings chaos into our work lives.
