01732 759725 04 INNOVATIONS What’s New Modular UPS for harsh sites Riello UPS has launched a range of uninterruptible power supplies for industrial sites with harsh environmental conditions, such as high dust and humidity levels. Based on its transformer-free Sentryum series, the Sentryum Rack is available as a 20 kVA standalone rackmount UPS, suitable for plug and play installation in standard 19-inch server racks, or as a modular UPS that can be scaled to a maximum capacity of 160 kVA. Power connectors (input, output, batteries) are isolated from communications connections to eliminate the possibility of any disturbance from the grid supply network – a common issue in industrial environments. Available with single-phase or three-phase output, the UPS has an operating efficiency of up to 96.3% in online mode and the ability to deal with sudden load peaks without having to transfer to bypass. https://www.riello-ups.co.uk/ products/1-ups/144-sentryum-rack www.riello-ups.co.uk Brother has enhanced support for its TJ range of industrial thermal printers with the launch of a next-day maintenance service on top of the standard three-year return-to-base warranty. Available with the options of five-day or seven-day cover, Brother ONSITE guarantees a next-day visit from an engineer for any fault reported before 3pm. The introduction of Brother ONSITE follows the launch of Brother’s Managed Label Services (MLS), which enables firms to acquire Brother label printers, third party hardware, software, services, supplies and warranties like Brother ONSITE via a monthly payment plan. www.brother.co.uk Enhanced support Smarter glasses Dynabook has updated its dynaEdge AR smart glasses solution with a new mobile edge computing device offering improved mobility, performance and security for diagnostic and repair applications, information capture/sharing and data processing in remote locations.

The Software Carbon Intensity (SCI) Specification provides a rate of carbon emissions (per minute or per user device) that developers can use as a benchmark when comparing the environmental impact of similar types of software (e.g. messaging apps and video conferencing solutions) or the same software system as it is updated over time. Developers can reduce a product’s SCI score by using less hardware (e.g. by reducing the size of upgrades so that users can keep their old devices longer or by architecting cloud applications to use fewer machines), by using less energy (e.g. by improving the speed of task completion) or by doing more when energy supply is cleaner (e.g. by scheduling routine backups to occur during peak times of solar energy supply). preview-greensoftwarefoundation.gtsb.io A healthy App-etite With Steambox, there is no excuse not to eat warm, healthy and fresh meals wherever you are.
