SAB CutCloud utilizes Microsoft Azure, Columbus now includes cost calculators based on actual production
data. ESAB Welding & Cutting Products demonstrated its new Columbus® III version 1.6 CAD/CAM software for mechanised cutting at EuroBLECH, which took place in Hannover, German in October. The new ESAB CutCloud 3.0 version utilises Microsoft
Azure IoT and the ThingWorx® Industrial Innovation Platform from PTC, which respectively allow for on-premise, hybrid and cloud based architectures and functionality to import and visualize machine data. Columbus III version 1.6 now includes the ability to calculate offers and orders for customers based on actual
production data. An easy-to-use cost calculator enables fabricators to enter cost variables, such as costs for machine time per hour, cutting process (including associated consumables), preparation, programming and materials.

Pregis announces restructuring of its European operations P
rotective packaging specialists, Pregis, is announcing the restructuring of its European business operations
to create a platform for future growth. Its recently acquired FP International’s European
operations will be combined with UK based, Pregis Ltd. The latter, formerly known as Easypack®, offers a portfolio of robust, on-demand recycled paper packaging systems, while FP International has a complete on- demand air systems offering. Its well-known loose-fill brand, Flo-Pak®, was used to start the company more than 50 years ago, and has become the leading brand name in the market.
The combined organisations will now trade under the Pregis name. “By combining the air and paper systems
portfolios, we will be creating a new European entity that will enable us to recommend the best on-demand, inside the box packaging solutions to meet a wide set of customer needs,” said Kevin Baudhuin

offers guidance and physical protection; guarding against damage to vulnerable corners, columns, door openings and overhead assets such as sprinkler systems and ventilation pipes.
A “The A-SAFE Height Restrictor has proved a popular product since launch. It can be
used as a visual aid to direct traffic at the same time protecting surfaces and as flagging up any specific risks at height" reports A-SAFE's Product Manager; adding "this latest development introduces a new element of modularity. For our global clients this means the product is quicker to ship and quicker to install; reducing delivery and set-up times".
This modularity comes about thanks to two coupling mechanisms: the iFlex coupling
which is a key component of the A-SAFE flexible polymer barrier range, and unique to the company's energy absorption system; and the new in-line coupling which enables the product to be adapted to the customers' needs in terms of vertical height.
Being easier and quicker to assemble means there is even less disruption to
day-to-day activity during the installation process. According to A-SAFE’s Senior Design Engineer, “We are always looking at ways to improve the customer experience. Efficiency is a key driver and therefore anything we can do to minimise disruption to business as usual during installation is a key factor”.
Reducing disruption and minimising downtime is an important goal throughout the
product's lifetime. Thanks to A-SAFE's exclusive self-coloured polymer composition, high visibility is ensured and its inbuilt strength and durability further supports the ultra-low maintenance solution. The unique composition of the A-SAFE polymer gives the Height Restrictor a unique capacity to flex, absorb impact and dissipate impact forces whilst retaining its integrity. This enables warehouse and factory managers to concentrate on the job at hand, safe in the knowledge the product is working to safeguard the business assets effectively year-on-year.
As the inventors of the world’s first industrial strength polymer safety barrier,
A-SAFE’s aim across its entire range is to give each customer the tools to create a safer, best practice working environment. The Height Restrictor complements this, and integrates seamlessly into the A-SAFE range of workplace protection solutions; adding valuable protection to busy environments.
