01732 759725 04 Flexible and secure The Alfresco Enterprise Viewer, combined with the Alfresco Digital Business Platform, allows multiple users to view and collaborate on content (documents, images, audio, video); see their colleagues online; edit, annotate and redact a document together; and discuss the document in a chat window. All in real time. Sensitive information can be protected with content encoding, audit trails, watermarks and both pattern and ad hoc redaction. The HTML5 browser- based solution is optimised for high speed secure viewing and offers two to five times faster viewing of large documents than typical browser viewing options and PDF.js Javascript libraries. It does this by dividing documents into small encoded sections for transmission, which enables very fast first page viewing. This makes it particularly well suited to remote workers and inconsistent network bandwidth. http://www.alfresco.com INNOVATIONS What’s New Testing the temperature As lockdown begins to be lifted, Review Display Systems (RDS) has launched a check-in station featuring an 8-inch display, contactless body temperature checks (with automatic alarms for abnormal temperatures) and optional, facemask-compatible facial recognition.

It is suitable for use in repair shops and factories. Queuing made easy Take-a-ticket app SmartQ by Adactus is helping to shorten queues and maintain social distancing by enabling shoppers to book a time to join a queue outside their chosen store and retailers to allocate priority times for the elderly, vulnerable and NHS workers. Once a user has booked their slot, a retailer-branded ticket is sent to their phone showing where they are in the queue and the estimated wait time. When it’s time to check-in, SmartQ sends a second alert advising the user to proceed to the store. The app is free to shoppers and is offered to retailers on a free four-week trial basis.
