Thermal Imaging Equipment Manufacturing in the US Sector Market Investigation Report Now Available from IBISWorld


Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) February 02, 2012

The Thermal Imaging Equipment Manufacturing industry has experienced strong growth over the five years to 2012, due to innovative products and improved demand from commercial and industrial markets. From 2007 to 2012, industry revenue is estimated to rise at an average annual rate of 6.4% to $ 4.5 billion; this growth includes a projected revenue increase of 7.4% during 2012. Traditionally, the industry’s primary users have included military personnel, law enforcement officers and fire fighters who utilize thermal imaging for visibility purposes. However, as the price of thermal imaging equipment has declined, other markets have increased their usage. These customers include commercial and industrial markets such as utilities companies, building inspectors, automotive and boat manufacturers and other manufacturing plants. Firms use infrared technology to determine temperature variations and improve visibility for cars and boats. According to IBISWorld industry analyst Caitlin Moldvay, the widespread adoption of new commercial and industrial market applications has generated strong growth for the industry.

An estimated 70 companies operate in the industry. Over the five years to 2012, the number of industry operators has declined at an average annual rate of 1.4%. According to Moldvay, while companies have continued to enter the industry, increased merger and acquisition activity has led to overall industry consolidation. Because of this increase in consolidation, the average company in the industry typically has profit margins of 12.2%. Improving economic conditions will positively affect revenue over the five years to 2017, as they facilitate growth from commercial and industrial market clients. Nevertheless, federal defense cutbacks are expected to mitigate some of this revenue increase, with demand from this traditional market expected to fall during the period.

This industry has a low level of market share concentration. The top company is FLIR Systems, and Fluke Corporation, Testo USA and Sierra Pacific Innovations also compete in the industry. The market for thermal imaging equipment is highly competitive, where large and niche players compete on the basis of continued product innovation. Over the past five years, the industry has experienced a high level of acquisition activity as firms seek to increase market share. The industry is characterized by a relatively stable number of players and most are outsourcing production to low-cost countries. IBISWorld projects industry consolidation will increase in the five years to 2017.

AEM Hall of Fame Announces 2011 Inductees Leaders of Off-street Tools Market Honored


Milwaukee, Wisconsin (PRWEB) November 04, 2011

The Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) announces new inductees into the AEM Hall of Fame, which recognizes and honors the accomplishments of those who have led the off-road equipment industry and contributed to its growth.

The latest inductees into the AEM Hall of Fame are:

Don Landoll, Chairman, Landoll Corporation

Elton Long, Vice President Construction Equipment Engineering Worldwide, Case Construction Equipment

Since 1993, the Hall has recognized industry leaders, inventors and visionaries as one way to highlight the contributions of the off-road equipment industry, specifically its people, to economic prosperity and quality of life. Inductees are examples to the leaders of tomorrow, who will build on their successes and continue their legacy of service.

Companies or individuals can submit nominations, and a panel of industry judges evaluates the submissions on the basis of five guiding principles: Innovation, Industry Contributions, Leadership, Corporate Citizenship/Social Responsibility, and Sustainability.

Since its inception in 1993, more than 35 industry leaders have been inducted into the Hall of Fame. For more information go online to http://www.aemHallofFame.com.

Printed below are summaries about the two 2011 AEM Hall of Fame inductees.

Don Landoll

Don Landoll was born an inventor and has designed and manufactured innovative machinery. In 1963 he opened a welding, blacksmith, and radiator repair shop. In 1967 the production of agricultural products with the Landoll brand began. By 1970, Don had designed and patented a unique, innovative trailer which eventually changed the way many transport companies conducted their business. This trailer was capable of ground loading and off-loading equipment, and was known as the traveling axle.

Under Dons leadership, the company continues to improve and expand its product lines. Landoll offers products for many segments construction, agriculture, towing, forklift and military.

Landoll is the largest employer in its community, and Don and his employees have a culture of service, participating in many charitable organizations. Don actively supports industry and business interests to help ensure the strength of manufacturing in his state.

Dons company follows as many sustainable practices as possible it uses state-of-the-art powder paint systems, and participates in programs to recycle oil, mercury such as in light bulbs, and batteries, for their lead. The company is active in waste and storm water programs and electricity conservation, and it has a paperless invoicing system.

In 2007 Landoll Corporation was among five companies receiving a Regional Governor’s Award of Excellence from the State of Kansas. Landoll has also received the U.S. Department of Defenses highest award presented to civilian contractors, the Pro Patria, for his support of the National Guard and Reserves.

Elton Long

Elton Long, who lived 1912 to 2003, has been called the Father of the Backhoe. He earned 46 patents during his career for designing and improving equipment, but he is best known for designing and producing the first integrated tractor loader/backhoe for Case Construction Equipment. The machine provided improved quality and operating efficiencies, taking on tasks once done by hand, and manufacturing efficiencies, since machines did not need to be retrofitted.

Long built an enduring legacy of innovation and success that continues influencing the construction equipment industry today. His leadership and career are well illustrated by Cases production, between 1957 and 1960, of 11 different models totaling almost 11,000 loader/backhoes. No other previous three-year period in Cases history had seen the release of so many units, and this is credited largely to Long and his impeccable leadership of the engineering department.

As the companys vice president of engineering, Longs contributions included the hydraulic Extendahoe, an extendible dipper stick that added 2.5 feet to the backhoes dig depth. There was also the first hydraulic system for a construction machine that could be controlled from the operators seat, the first dozer blade controlled from the operators seat, the over-center backhoe, load stabilizers and swing mechanisms.

Long was also a decorated pilot in World War II, earning 16 Air Medals, a Purple Heart, and the Distinguished Flying Cross after flying 100 missions over Europe.

AEM is the North American-based international trade group providing innovative business development resources to advance the off-road equipment manufacturing industry in the global marketplace. AEM membership comprises more than 800 companies and 200-plus product lines in the agriculture, construction, forestry, mining and utility sectors worldwide. AEM is headquartered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, with offices in the world capitals of Washington, D.C., Ottawa, Beijing and a European presence in Brussels.

Mobile MVNO Predictions

By Josiah William

This will no doubt be a happy new year for some mobile phone companies, a sad year for some, and a very sad year for others.

The beginning of the New Year is the time for resolutions and predictions. Let me make some predictions on who will be the winners and losers in the prepaid cellular and MVNO arena for 2006.

I will start with the small prepaid MVNOs. Bad press is better than no press; that is at least what I heard. This will probably be my only mention of this list of companies.

Accell, Airvoice Wireless, Beyond Wireless, Extreme Mobile, EZ Link, iwireless, Graffiti Prepaid, PagePlus Prepaid, Omni Prepaid, O Mobile, MobilePCS, M3 Wireless, all either have weaknesses, obstacles, or just no reason for someone to buy their product. Some are in the process of changing from TDMA to GSM technology, others are under funded, others have high costs and others have poor marketing. I wish them well, but my prediction is you have not heard of most of the companies listed above and probably never will.

I have heard some good things about Callwave, Oxygen Mobile, and Liberty Wireless, but they are no longer competitive with the new rush of major players.

Bravo Cellular is small player that has an above average program that is very similar to the larger player, STi Mobile. Bravo and STI both use Sprint and offer competitive direct dial international rates. However, STI beats the Bravo rates, phones, and distribution by a good margin. Sorry Bravo Cellular, you are not good enough, but at least I gave you a paragraph.

I will jump from small to large MVNOs and prepaid programs.

STi mobile is a division of STi. STi is a major player in the prepaid calling card market with over $200 million annually in sales. STi mobile offers nice new LG Flip phones, aggressive rates, and extremely aggressive direct dial international rates. I would have considered them a medium MVNO program, but they stepped up to large with distribution agreements with Staples, CompUSA, and other chains. I predict success for STi.

Boost Mobile offers push to talk, excellent marketing, is owned by Sprint/Nextel and seems to want to be competitive with rates. I have heard they are not always in tune with their distribution and have some technical issues. However, they have 1.9 million subscribers so I predict continued success.

Tracfone and Net10 are the same company. They were the first successful MVNO with a distribution in the Wal-Mart chain. They have a large base of profitable customers and are aggressive marketers. However, they have always been boring to me. They made a major push with the Net10 brand, but it seems to me someone could have thought of a better 2nd brand. They even advertised on American Idol. They lack any hype or great offerings. This will be a good test to see if big distribution, a current profitable base, and aggressive marketing (even though off base) are enough. I predict success this year, but that is about it.

Virgin Mobile is the largest MVNO with over 3 million subscribers. While you can get a better deal and product from other carriers, they are already successful so I predict continued success.

The Cingular Prepaid Go Phone program offers really cheap phones, pretty good service, slightly high rates and invests a ton of money in marketing. I predict success because they can buy success.

The T-Mobile prepaid program offers decent phones, aggressive advertising, competitive rates, and has the backing of T-Mobile. They also have some loyal and satisfied customers. I predict continued success.

Up and Coming Prepaid Companies

ESPN Mobile and Disney Mobile are coming, but I have no information on their programs, so I decline to comment. However, I don’t understand why someone would buy a phone from them. I could see them providing content for other providers, but not function as stand alone MVNOs. They do have plenty of money to throw at this, so see what I know.

Ampd Mobile has a lot of money with $67 million or more in private funding and a $50 million investment from MTV. They were founded by Peter Adderton (I mention his name because he seems to like his name mentioned), also the founder of Boost Mobile. They claim they will offer revolutionary functions, service, and media from their phones, geared toward the youth market. I don’t have the guts to give them a thumbs down prediction, but they utilize Verizon, who has not been a great provider of service for MVNOs. Verizon also publicly has said they can develop their own youth-oriented marketing plans. It seems Ampd has it all, but if they do not have Verizon’s support and best deal, nothing else matters. I think they are exciting and entertaining so I wish them the best.

An interesting company is IDT. They are developing prepaid wifi cellular. IDT is a major international long distance carrier. Their plans in the future are to offer low international rates through cheap wifi mobile handsets. They also currently have a standard MNVO prepaid program called TuYo mobile. IDT has not revealed which wireless carrier’s network it is using to deliver the MNVO services, but has said its partnership is with a “major GSM wireless carrier,” which narrows the field to either Cingular Wireless or T-Mobile USA. Their TuYo mobile program is very similar to STI mobile in regards to service and international rates. It is only offered in four markets and they have started cautiously. I predict IDT will have success in a few years, but looks to be playing it safe this year.

For some reason, I am excited about Helio. It may be the $450 million in funding. It may be the technology of SK Telecom. It may be the CEO who also founded Earthlink.net and Boingo Wifi. I am most excited about what SK Telecom can bring to the table. They are the leading provider in Korea and are cutting edge with high end media offerings through great phones. They also seem to know marketing and pricing. It’s almost a perfect concept, except that I think Helio will be using Verizon as their back-bone provider. As I said with Ampd, it will be interesting to see if Verizon has changed and is now willing to give competitive support and rates to an MVNO. It is not whether they can do it….. it is whether they will do it.

I am a small business owner so I hate to predict the big guys beating the small guys, but it looks to me that enough big players in the prepaid MVNO market have their act together to make it tough for the small guys. However, small business owners should not be discouraged, because it is amazing how often major companies in any industry get tangled up in their own red tape, lose their focus and understanding of their customers and market, and let the small companies clean their clocks.

Which Energy Saving Light Bulbs are most effective?

There are a large number of different energy saving light bulbs on the market and it can be quite confusing deciding which ones are best for your particular needs. There are halogen, CFL and LED bulbs which all utilise specific technologies that give the products inherent characteristics and energy saving properties. This short and to the point article reviews the variants of energy saving light bulbs on the market to help you to select the appropriate products for your particular needs.

Looking at halogen bulbs

Halogen bulbs are essentially a high technology type of the original incandescent filament light bulb. The halogen energy saving light bulbs save as a rule 25-35% in electricity costs depending on the specific characteristics and have the advantage of being dimmable. Halogen energy saving light bulbs have simple elegant looks and are of a small size which means they have a great looking visual design.
For more innformation take a looks at energy saving light bulbs

Compact Fluorescent Lamps

Compact Fluorescent Lamp- CFL energy saving light bulbs which use a miniaturised type of the fluorescent tube technology are exceedingly efficient saving around 75% in electricity costs. Modern CFL’s shouldn’t suffer from the dullness and flickering issues that were intrinsic in the earliest CFL’s that hit the market. The main disadvantage of the CFL energy saving light bulbs is that its appearance can be poor, particularly where the fluorescent tubes are evident, but there are some very nice looking spherical shaped CFL’s available. One aspect is for certain and that is that the modern CFL is a considerable improvement on its predecessors.

LED bulbs and

Energy Saving Light Bulbs

LED light bulbs are the best type of energy saving light bulbs. With an energy saving of between 75% and 85%, LED’s are likely to offer the best in energy efficiency. LED bulbs have the further benefit of being incredibly eco friendly. Landfill is decreased because LED bulbs have a particularly long life and the carbon foot print is minimised due to the very low electricity consumption. The final aspect is the visual impression because LED energy saving light bulbs have a high technology visual look which it is important to accommodate as part of the interior lighting plan.
