, Propel makes cloud PLM software that helps propel your digital transformation. Created by PLM, SaaS and manufacturing veterans, Propel offers cloud PLM that helps engineers, marketing, partners, customers, and everyone else collaborate on all the product information needed to get products from concept to customer. Propel has developed the first and only PLM solution built on the Salesforce platform — the world’s most secure, trusted and flexible cloud platform.

Our SaaS-based PLM software helps everyone collaborate better, takes just weeks to get up and running, and can keep up with changing business requirements.

•

Tracking compliance can be very time consuming and error prone when products consist of thousands of parts, involve hundreds of employees and suppliers, need to meet multiple regional requirements, and undergo dozens of changes. Mid-market companies have faced additional product compliance challenges, since existing solutions are often expensive, hard to implement and difficult to use. Propel’s latest cloud PLM software release allows companies of any size to track compliance to product specifications and training requirements much more easily than ever before. Propel provides visibility into compliance status for any product, tracks historical records and updates, and keeps managers and stakeholders in the loop.

“Propel is making it much easier for companies like Samsara to manage our product compliance,” according to Ben Calderon, VP Hardware Engineering and Operations at Samsara. “Certifications and compliance requirements vary by product function, application and region. In addition, laboratory approvals may have their own timeline different from the hardware project. Propel’s latest PLM software release enables Samsara to navigate the compliance challenges with easily adaptable tracking methods.”

Propel Specification Management & Compliance Highlights • Track compliance status to any specification on a manufacturer part or directly on an item

Roll-up compliance statuses on a bill of materials (BOM) Use worst case scenario when dealing with multiple manufacturer parts, or declare compliance status on a parent part to override roll-ups Apply specifications to Propel’s item categories for even easier administration Declare compliance status through a declaration process, which allows multiple stakeholders to review compliance Keep records of status changes Apply specific exemptions to specifications Propel Training Records Management Highlights Keep historical records of who and when an employee reviewed documents that are marked for training, and provide trainers, managers, and auditors with accurate and transparent training records Create training assignments with due dates for selected trainees when a new document revision is published Notify trainees and managers when a new training is assigned and when it becomes overdue Create re-training assignments on a schedule Allow engineers to decide on a case-by-case bases if training is required when they revision a new document Track when trainees download documents Require electronic sign-off with passwords, and allow trainers and managers to sign off for trainees when they don’t have system access

“Many of the companies that Propel works with are launching products at a historic pace, and they always need to make sure their latest products comply with a complex set of regulatory requirements like RoHS, REACH or JEDEC,” said Brian Sohmers, co-founder and Chief Product Officer of Propel. “Our latest software release now lowers the cost and ease of compliance for mid-market companies. Whether it’s training records or product specifications, Propel makes it easy for companies of all sizes to quickly get their innovative ideas from concept to customer.”

Battery Manufacture Launches Innovative New App New Panasonic app is designed to help customers find the right battery.

In a world buzzing with modern electronics, finding the right type of battery for a specific device can be difficult. This is where Panasonic Energy Europe can help. This leading battery manufacturer has launched the ‘Panasonic Battery App’ – an easy-to-use mobile app enabling buyers to quickly and effortlessly find the battery they need.

The Panasonic battery range currently comprises of 4 different alkaline grades: EVOLTA, Pro Power, Everyday Power and Alkaline Power – each one with a different capacity. As different appliances require different levels of energy, Panasonic want to help battery consumers “see the wood for the trees” by guiding them through their purchase decision. Although the

battery app has been designed primarily to facilitate a search for batteries, it also comes with some additional fun features, as follows: 1. Use ‘Find My Battery’ to find the right battery The ‘Find my Battery’ function will help users to learn which battery type they need for a particular electronic device, by choosing from a list of simple icons. If they cannot find a device from the list, then a list of ‘other appliances’ is made available.

Many battery packs look alike and therefore finding a specific battery type can be tricky and confusing. As soon as the user has clicked ‘Find My Battery’ to find out which battery is required, the ‘Locate Battery’ function appears. When the smartphone camera is aimed at the fixture, the ‘Locate Battery’ feature helps to detect the correct product in a matter of seconds.

3. Choose the ‘Augmented Reality’ feature for a supernatural experience In addition to the app’s primary features, a third, neater

12 manpack / November 2017

function has been added. The ‘Augmented Reality’ function allows smartphone users to add an extra dimension to their photos. As the scene changes through different photo shots, the AR function will add to the picture a 3D image of SpiderMan (a reference to Panasonic’s latest co-branding franchise: the new ‘Spider-Man: Homecoming’ movie). This will enable users to ‘take a selfie with Spiderman’ in a variety of different locations around the world! Moreover, until 31 December 2017, European Spider-Man enthusiasts can win a city trip to New York, by trying to catch as many contacts into their digital & social media webs – just like Spider-Man himself.

Overall, Panasonic Energy Europe is headquartered in Zellik, near Brussels, Belgium.

Milbank Group Announces Acquisition of GRP Specialist Sui Generis The Milbank Group has recently announced further growth with the acquisition of Sui Generis International Ltd. A family owned and operated business with a trading history spanning over 70 years, Milbank Concrete Products is one of the UK’s leading manufacturers of precast concrete products with a focus on exceptional customer service. Looking forward, Milbank continue to innovate and invest in new products, ideas and production facilities. With an exceptional team in place, Milbank’s focus is to provide the most comprehensive service to its customers, helping them to achieve success.

Milbank’s clients span the construction industry in all its forms, working with most of the UK’s Top 100 construction companies alongside independent builders and selfbuilders. In addition, Milbank works with contractors servicing the civil engineering, rail, road and environmental sectors to name but a few.

Based in Colchester, Sui Generis is a specialist manufacturer of glass-reinforced plastic (GRP) parts for use in buildings and vehicles, in addition to supplying fibreglass linings, industrial coatings and anti-slip flooring products.

Whilst it is intended that Sui Generis will continue to operate

as an independent business, there are advantageous synergies that the Milbank Group says will strengthen and secure the future of both companies.

Mark Went, who has owned and managed the business for many years, explained that he chose Milbank as a potential suitor because he was looking for a company that would look after his staff and maintain their customer care.

The addition of Sui Generis to the Milbank Group contributes further to the group’s plan to build a diverse group of industrial businesses. The Milbank Group currently consists of Milbank Concrete Products and Cadman Cranes, and the Sui Generis acquisition will take group’s combined employment to more than 250. Cadman Cranes is the leading crane hire company in East Anglia with over 40 years’ experience and a reputation for quality, reliability and safety.

Cadman offers crane hire on a CPA Crane Hire or CPA Contract Lift basis to East Anglia, London and beyond. Cadman’s extensive fleet includes mobile cranes from seven to 180 tonne capacity and a unique selection of mini cranes, crawler cranes and specialist lifting equipment.

Founded in 1947, Milbank Concrete Products is one of the UK’s leading manufacturers of

14 manpack / November 2017

precast concrete products with a focus on exceptional customer service, based at Earls Colne, Essex. Cadman Cranes, also based in Colchester, runs a fleet of 25 mobile cranes ranging from seven to 180 tonne capacity and a unique selection of mini cranes, crawler cranes and specialist lifting equipment.

The acquisition was completed on 9 October 2017 with the help of Prism Corporate Broking (buy side advisors), Birketts Solicitors and Ensors (Tax Due Diligence).

Andy Mayne, Managing Director of Milbank Concrete Products and Cadman Cranes commented on the acquisition.

“Whilst Sui Generis may sell different products to Milbank, we are in fact very similar. Both companies design, manufacture, deliver and install products along with dealing directly with the end consumer, continually focussing on reliability and excellence. We believe that with our resources and the combined expertise from both companies’ personnel, we can add further growth and success to the Sui Generis business” Sean Milbank, Chairman of The Milbank Group, added his comment on the takeover and what it would mean for the future of the firms.

“We are delighted to welcome Sui Generis into our very local group of businesses. All three companies have long-standing reputations for good quality service to their clients and caring for their staff, and the move is really positive news for everyone concerned.”

New Consortium Seeks to Put An End To Plastic Waste L’ORÉAL and CARBIOS sign agreement to jointly found consortium for bio-recycling of plastic on industrial scale.

CARBIOS, a pioneer in the field of bioplasturgy, and L’ORÉAL worldwide beauty industry leader, have announced a new partnership regarding the sustainable management of plastic life cycle.

As CARBIOS is a green chemistry company whose innovations provide solutions to the environmental and sustainable development issues that manufacturers currently face, the firm is well placed to combat the rise in plastic waste.

Since its founding in 2011, the company has developed two industrial-scale biological processes for the biological breakdown and recycling of polymers. These unique innovations help optimise the performance and life cycle of plastics and textiles by capitalizing on the properties of specially selected enzymes.

CARBIOS’s economic growth model is based on the industrial roll-out and sale of its products, enzymes, technologies and biological processes through direct licence agreements or joint ventures, to major players in the fields to whom they would most benefit. To that end, CARBIOS founded the joint venture CARIOLICE in 2016, in partnership with Limagrain Céréales Ingrédients and the

fund SPI, run by Bpifrance. This company, in which CARBIOS holds a controlling share, will market the first technology licensed by CARBIOS by producing enzyme pellets used in the production of biodegradable and bio-sourced plastics. Since its founding, CARBIOS has been backed by Truffle Capital, a European investment capital player. CARBIOS qualifies as an “Innovative Company” according to Bpifrance, which makes the company’s shares eligible for inclusion in innovation-focused mutual funds (FCPIs).

Complimenting the firm at the head of the consortium is L’ORÉAL, a firm that has devoted itself to beauty for more than a hundred years. With its unique international portfolio of 34 diverse and complementary brands, the Group generated sales amounting to 25.8 billion euros in 2016 and employs 89,300 people worldwide. As the world’s leading beauty company, L’ORÉAL is present across all distribution networks: mass market, department stores, pharmacies and drugstores, hair salons, travel retail, branded retail and online retail. Research and Innovation, and a dedicated research team of 3,870 people, are at the core of L’Oréal’s strategy, working to meet beauty aspirations all over the world.

Through the “Sharing Beauty

18 manpack / November 2017

with All” programme, L’ORÉAL sets out ambitious sustainable development goals for 2020 across the Group’s value chain.

As part of their commitment to promoting the circular economy through innovative plastic recycling solutions, L’ORÉAL and CARBIOS have signed an agreement to jointly found a fiveyear consortium to bring the biorecycling technology designed and developed by CARBIOS to market on an industrial scale.

The partnership is open to industries from other sectors looking to develop new plastic bio-recycling solutions.

CARBIOS has developed an enzymatic bio-recycling process for plastics that breaks polymers down to the basic components (monomers) originally used to create them. Once separated and purified, the monomers can be used again to create virgin plastic, without losing any value through the recycling process. This biological process is free of the constraints facing conventional recycling techniques and is the first step to developing a new way of managing the plastic life cycle— in line with the circular economy.

L’ORÉAL and the other manufacturers in the consortium will benefit from the development of this CARBIOS innovation and

will be first in line to receive the first available units. L’ORÉAL will use this new technology during the design phase for new packaging, thereby promoting the circular economy.

L’ORÉAL Packaging & Development Vice-President Philippe THUVIEN underscores that, “L’ORÉAL has been committed to an ambitious sustainable packaging programme for several years now. We currently use up to 100% recycled plastic for several different products. We’ve decided to go even further: with this innovative CARBIOS technology, L’ORÉAL is helping to make bio-recycling available on an industrial scale.

It’s a wonderful opportunity to protect the environment, and this consortium will also help boost the circular economy.”

As CARBIOS CEO Jean-Claude LUMARET explains, “We are proud to have cofounded this consortium with L’ORÉAL. Our enzyme technology provides a brand new solution for optimising the performance and life cycle of plastics. L’ORÉAL’s commitment to sustainable development helps drive innovation, and we are confident that other international companies will join the project in the coming months to help us initiate a major transition in the way we produce the plastic materials of tomorrow.”

22 manpack / November 2017

Some of the drivers to the growth of pharmaceuticals in Latin America are the aging population coupled with rising obesity. As packaging for pharmaceuticals is generally made of plastic by molding techniques, the molded plastic packaging market in the Americas is expected to grow due to the increased sales in the pharmaceuticals industry in Latin America.

Rising demand for PET Most of the bottles and containers are manufactured by molding techniques with PET being the most preferred material. These bottles serve in the packaging of a wide variety of consumer products such as shampoos, cooking oils, window cleaners, and containers for food. PET is approved for contact with foods and beverages by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the US and other health-safety agencies throughout the world.

“The safety of PET for use in various applications, such as foods, beverages, pharmaceutical, and medical has been demonstrated through tests, studies, and regulatory approvals. It is as strong as glass and yet lightweight, thereby making transportation efficient.

Another key feature is that the containers are easy to handle, as unlike glass, PET is shatterproof.

The rising use of PET bottles and containers across industries is expected to propel the molded plastic packaging market in the Americas during the forecast period,” says Shakti.

MB Aerospace Group to Acquire Asian Compressor Technology Services Move into Asia takes global headcount above 1,700 and offers firm the chance to bolster its manufacturing abilities.

International aerospace group MB Aerospace has announced it has entered into an agreement to acquire Taiwanbased Asian Compressor Technology Services Company Limited (ACTS). The business will trade as MB Aerospace ACTS (Taiwan) once legal completion has been finalised, likely to be in January 2018.

ACTS was founded in 1995 as a joint venture by Pratt & Whitney, China Airlines and Singapore Airlines Engineering Company to provide in-house repair of aeroengine components within the turbine and compressor sections of gas turbine aero-engines.

The firm, which employs over 100 specialist and technical staff, is a leading global provider of aero-engine component repair services to Pratt & Whitney’s overhaul network, giving MB Aerospace a highly-performing footprint in the rapidly-growing Asian market and taking overall employee numbers above 1,700 across the United States, Europe and Asia.

From a well-invested site close to the logistics hub of Taipei

Taoyuan International Airport, ACTS is now a global player in the repair of performancecritical compressor and turbine components. Since it was founded over two decades ago, ACTS has developed a marketleading reputation for service and customer performance, whilst developing strengths in key technologies including brazing and vacuum brazing, thermal spray coating, laser holography, water jetting, auto-welding and rubber/epoxy solutions.

manufacturing is also a very attractive factor for us as we look to expand operations there.

Craig Gallagher, MB Aerospace Chief Executive Officer, said: “This acquisition greatly expands our capabilities in the repair sector and gives us a crucial geographical presence in the fast-growing Asian market.

“ACTS provides a tremendous platform for further growth in Asia - we are buying a high-performing company that has been operating at UTC Supplier Gold status for over 70 consecutive months.

This established, world-class performance standard will give MB Aerospace a solid footing to serve global aero-engine customers that demand high quality, performance-critical repairs with fast turnaround times and cost-competitive repairs on critical rotating components in the hot section of the engine.

“ACTS already serves a diverse customer base globally and its truly world-class servicing capabilities on performancecritical rotating components will now operate in synergy with our high-volume compressor and turbine component manufacturing facility at MB Aerospace Newton Abbot in the UK. Expanding our capabilities in the turbine and compressor sections of the aero-engine is a key strategic objective for MB Aerospace and we have ambitious plans for further growth and investment in both Taiwan and Newton Abbot.

“This is a hugely exciting and positive deal for everyone involved. Taiwan is a global centre for manufacturing innovation and the Taiwan government’s stated aim of supporting aerospace

“We are also joining forces with a world-class senior management team at ACTS who will help deliver our growth ambitions during an exciting time for the industry. The global aircraft fleet is projected to double in the next 20 years and much of this demand will come from growth in Asian air traffic.

“In addition, it also significantly deepens our already strong relationship in servicing the global Pratt & Whitney overhaul network.”

UM Dedicates Game-Changing 3D Lab New College of Engineering-Johnson & Johnson 3D Printing Center of Excellence Collaborative Laboratory will be a hub for innovation and collaboration.

Andres Ruiz had always chalked it up as just part of the game. Broken bones, torn ligaments and other injuries, he knew, occur in every high-impact sport, and baseball was no exception. But when a fractured hip side-lined him from the sport he was passionate about since he was 5, Ruiz made a decision to become a biomedical engineer, choosing the field because of its ability to mitigate injury and disease.

Today, as a senior majoring in biomedical engineering at the University of Miami, Ruiz is excited about a new UM-based lab that has the potential to help revolutionize not only his discipline but other areas of engineering as well.

Dedicated on Monday, Oct. 23, the new UM College of Engineering-

Johnson & Johnson 3D Printing Center of Excellence Collaborative Laboratory will support joint research, materials development, and testing of 3D printing technologies and processes.

UM faculty and students will have access to the lab’s state-of-theart three-dimensional printing—or additive manufacturing— equipment, which is housed in a 5,850-square-foot “collaborative laboratory” inside the McArthur Engineering building and includes ten 3D MakerBots that use polymers to create objects, and two 3D metal printers— one that uses titanium powder and the other, stainless steel.

Students will work alongside J&J engineers and scientists, gaining invaluable experience.

Jean-Pierre Bardet, dean of UM’s College of Engineering, called the new facility a “collaboratory.”

“An engineering education has to give students the chance for hands-on creativity and allow their imaginations to soar,” he said at Monday’s ribbon-cutting. “Thanks to Johnson & Johnson, we have yet another resource to educate tomorrow’s technology leaders.”

UM President Julio Frenk welcomed the lab as “a hub for innovation” that will foster “constructive change.”

Indeed, 3D printing—the process of making three-dimensional objects by adding materials such as plastics or metals in successive layers—has been hailed as a game changer for everything from the medical to automotive and aerospace industries. But 3D printing is not new. The technology has been around for more than 30 years, Joseph Sendra, worldwide vice president of manufacturing engineering and technology at Johnson & Johnson, noted during the dedication ceremony.

“What’s different today is the cyber-physical interconnectivity between man and machine. It’s the digital coming together with what’s real,” said Sendra, who graduated from UM’s College of Engineering with a degree in industrial engineering in 1993 and is one of three UM alumni who helped bring the new Collaborative Laboratory to UM.
