I sold online advertising a few years ago, and at the company I worked for, I became the resident expert in the home theater industry. I learned to speak the language of the audio visual solutions field, and as such I learned the different types of companies in the industry. Here they are:

The standard home theater specialist: These are the people to call for any homeowner looking to put in a home theater and plunk down anywhere from a few thousand dollars to something over six figures. The firms can be large or small, and there’s a good chance they’re members of CEDIA, the Custom Electronic Design and Installation Association that’s 3,500 members strong.

Small independent contractor: Say a customer isn’t in the market for a home theater but just needs a flat screen television hung. Many home theater companies are loathe to even pick up the phone for such calls, though a small independent contractor often needs the work and can make a business of wearing many hats. Maybe one day they’re an electrician, maybe another they’re doing the work of digital signage companies. It’s whatever pays the bills.

Commercial integrator: Like the independent contracting work, audio visual integration isn’t near as glamorous as home theater design, though it can be equally important. Integration ensures that different systems run smoothly and everything works in concert, and in the business world, this equals presentations going off without a hitch, display systems working without errors. A good commercial integrator can be a vital piece of the corporate puzzle.

The growing popularity of vehicle tracking systems in businesses that have large fleets is clearly evident as technology improves and becomes more effective. The proposed benefits are increased efficiency and operability whilst subsequently improving profits through reduced downtime and vehicle maintenance. There are however a number of technophobes out there who still feel that tracking systems are not suitable for their business, feeling that the methods such as mobile phone systems and timesheets are just as effective when managing fleets. Part of the reason these managers are not implementing tracking systems is due to fear of technology and a number of other misconceived trepidations. Hopefully this article will allay some of the fears surrounding GPS vehicle tracking.

Some managers are convinced that the implementation of a vehicle tracking system says to their staff members that they simply do not trust them and would prefer to keep tabs on them throughout the working day. This view is common, but mislaid. Implementation of a system is purely a way for managers to improve efficiency by reducing down time and increasing operational knowledge. Over an extended period of time it allows managers to make vital decisions on how improve business functions, reduce the maintenance costs of specific vehicles as well as increase fuel efficiency across the entire fleet.  Read more...

Check out the New 2009 Mighty Muscular Mahindra Scorpio with Micro Hybrid Technology

Mahindra & Mahindra, the leader in utility vehicles in India, has taken the initiative to introduce the path breaking FuelSmart System for the first time in India. The FuelSmart system is an automatic engine start stop system. It has been introduced in its Scorpio M2DI and Bolero SLX BS3 models.

The start stop system automatically shuts down and restarts the automobile’s engine. The engine begins effortlessly once a driver depresses a clutch prior to moving ahead. This in turn reduces the duration for which the engine is kept idling, thereby improving fuel economy.  This start stop system comes into play when the automobile has to spend considerable amounts of time waiting at traffic signals or in traffic jams. This feature started in hybrid electric vehicles but now has also started appearing in vehicles without a hybrid powertrain like Scorpio and Bolero. Fuel economy can improve by 5 to 10 percent in non-hybrid vehicles with the start stop system.

Off late the start stop system uses an enhanced-starter which is nothing more than a conventional starter, developed by Bosch, which can withstand the increased number of engine starts. The system is such that the alternator is not activated most of the time. Thus the electrical components in the vehicle run on Battery. The alternator is activated to recharge the battery while decelerating or braking (regenerative braking). Due to the use of regenerative braking, some have started calling this type of system a micro hybrid.  Read more...
