PSB Launches Passif 50 Speaker to Celebrate 50 Years

PSB Speakers, innovator of high-fidelity speakers since 1972, releases the Passif 50 Anniversary Edition Standmount Loudspeaker in celebration of its 50-year milestone. The design and technologies of the Passif 50 model leverage five decades of dedicated research and pay homage to the early Passif II model first released in 1974. The Passif 50 will be available to pre-order online the first of August with shipping this September, and it retails at USD $2499/GBP £2499/EUR €2999/CAD $3299. As a show of gratitude for the brand’s devoted fanbase, the first 500 units sold of the Passif 50 will contain a handwritten letter from Paul Barton and includes a QR code with an offer to receive a gift pack that includes a cotton canvas backpack, double-walled water bottle, and commemorative keychain.

Capturing a Legacy

In 1974, PSB Founder and Chief Designer Paul Barton developed the Passif II at a time when his initial acoustic research had led to the establishment of PSB’s design philosophy. The Passif II was the first model to incorporate those principals and demonstrate what is now praised as the brand’s signature “True to Nature” sound. Paying tribute to the Passif II, the Passif 50 represents the PSB legacy that has remained strong over 50 years of speaker innovation – a series of products marked by tonal accuracy, spatial realism and freedom from distortion.

Retro-Modern Aesthetic

The Passif 50 features 1970s inspired elements like an open-grained walnut veneer cabinet, magnetically attached woven cloth grilles and dedicated stands. The loudspeaker evokes a sense of nostalgia with its retro details while being constructed with modern materials that align to current tastes. Other unique embellishments include a pull tab on the front grille, which sports the retro PSB logo – originally hand drawn by Paul in his high school geography class – and a rear-panel plaque adorned by a maple leaf with an inscription that reads, “Passif 50 – 1972-2022.”

A Landmark Design

The design of the Passif 50 mirrors its famous 1970’s forefather but incorporates the most current flagship level components and benefits from 50 years of acoustic research. The result is a loudspeaker with classic 70’s looks but achieves a level of performance well beyond the capabilities of its ancestors.

The titanium dome tweeter employs a powerful neodymium magnet and ferrofluid damping, for higher output, improved power handling, and reduced distortion. A phase plug in front of the tweeter’s dome directs the tweeter’s output to ensure a wide and consistent dispersion well beyond the traditional listening window. The result is a speaker which creates a wide and deep soundstage with very acute imaging which isn’t reliant on a precise listening position. A felt pad surrounding the tweeter minimizes edge diffraction for improved transparency and more stable imaging.

The woofer and passive radiator have cast aluminum baskets that resist flexing, and filleted rubber surrounds that dampen cone resonances, resulting in smoother response and reduced distortion. Considerable engineering effort was invested in refining the interaction between the woofer and the passive radiator. The result is a state of perfect balance of their opposing forces.

All joints in the heavily braced enclosure are mitred for improved fit and finish and reduced cabinet vibration. Featuring dual five-way binding posts, the Passif 50 can be bi-wired or bi-amped.

Features and Details:

1″ titanium dome tweeter with ferrofluid damping and neodymium magnet
6.5″ woofer and 8″ passive radiator with cast aluminum baskets, paper cones, and filleted rubber surrounds
Retro-styled open-grained walnut veneer enclosure and dedicated speaker stands

How to develop an ERP? A step-by-step guide

For every company, there comes a moment when paperwork-based management turns into a liability. That’s when you know it’s time to consider a more high-tech approach to handling your resources: Enterprise Resource Planning software.

In this guide, we’ll discuss what ERP systems are, what they bring to the table, and how to develop them in a way that ensures your business gets the most out of the final product. So, let’s start from the beginning.  

What is an ERP?

An ERP is a type of software that helps businesses manage their processes, including logistics, accounting, inventory management, HR management, and so on. It’s primarily meant to boost profits and operational efficiency by means of automation and keeping everything in one place.

As technologies progress, so does ERP software. The ERP solutions of today often employ AI and machine learning to further raise the effectiveness of their management tools. While there are ready-made ERP applications on the market, many organisations choose to hire an ERP development company to develop a custom solution that precisely caters to their business needs.

What are the benefits of getting an ERP?

Now that you know what an ERP system is, let’s talk about what it can do for your organisation. 

 

  1. Improved efficiency. ERP helps your company save tons of time (and consequently, money) thanks to the automation of routine and repetitive tasks.
  2. Less paperwork. ERP makes generating reports much faster, and generally streamlines the process of submitting all kinds of paperwork.
  3. Data-driven decision making. ERPs facilitate more informed decision making by having all the relevant data easily accessible, on top of providing auto generated reports and analytics.
  4. Centralised information storage. Instead of being scattered across several different databases, all the data is conveniently gathered, processed, and stored in one place, which removes the need for regular checks and synchronisation.
  5. Compliance made simple. Every business must maintain regulatory compliance, and ERP systems help with that by keeping track of the latest industry regulations with built-in compliance features.
  6. Great scalability. ERP software is very flexible in adjusting to different kinds of situations, as the systems can be easily expanded and reduced depending on your needs.
  7. Superior collaboration. Having all data stored in one place ties the many departments together, even if they are kilometres apart. This makes for a more productive work environment, promoting fast and accurate communication.
  8. Enhanced customer service. ERP can greatly increase the quality of your customer relations with smart customer behaviour analysis, customer history, and all the order and service data available at the click of a button.  

 

Suffice it to say, ERP systems are incredibly useful and are irreplaceable when it comes to managing sizable businesses. But the available market solutions won’t always have the exact array of features your company needs, which is why you may want to create an ERP system of your own. So, how does one do that?

How to develop an ERP?

Building an ERP system is a complex process that can nonetheless be broken down into a number of simple steps. Let’s start from the beginning.

Step 1. Carry out a goals and requirements analysis

To develop a high-quality product, you must have a concrete aim in mind. Try talking to different employees to figure out which tasks of theirs could be improved with an ERP system. Do industry research. This will help you solidify a set of goals and requirements for the project.

Step 2. Select a development partner

Your development partner can make or break the project. Consider your options very carefully, and go for reliable, industry-savvy companies. A good partner will always provide relevant guidance, advice, and, of course, high-quality service. 

Step 3. Consider UX/UI design

The UX and UI of an ERP system should be informative and user-friendly. Explore what elements and features are common in ERP design and prepare a blueprint of your own – this will be very helpful when creating mockups and the final UI. 

Step 4. Choose a technology stack

Think about which platform you want to develop for and select the technology to build the software on accordingly. C++ or C# are the common choices for Windows devices, while Swift or Objective-C are typical for Mac OS. If you want to create a web-based application, consider Node.js, Angular, JavaScript, or Bootstrap. 

Step 5. Decide on the integrations

Third-party integrations are more or less unavoidable when creating an ERP solution. The services ERPs can connect with often include CRM, e-Commerce, customer service modules, office suites, and even other ERPs. 

Step 6. Focus on communication

Over the course of the development process, you will have to regularly contact the development team to catch up on the latest updates and happenings in the project. Timely communication will help adapt to changing situations in a way that will minimise extra costs, so make sure to report all the changes in plans, deadlines, design, budget, and other features to the developers as soon as possible. 

Step 7. Test the software

Before the product is released, it needs to be reviewed. Firstly, check if the ERP meets all the security, functionality, and integration requirements, as well as follows industry compliances. In addition to testing within the development company or your own organisation, you can employ focus groups to get a broader QA coverage.

You’re done!

Now that your solution is fully tested and compliant with industry standards, it’s ready to be released. While it may take some time to adapt to a new managerial system, the benefits will make themselves apparent very fast: you will enjoy smoother and more effective business processes, and your customers will appreciate a faster, better service.

GoCar announces €1 million investment in national expansion

Ireland’s leading car sharing service GoCar, today announced an investment of over €1 million in the expansion of its car sharing fleet across new locations nationwide this year. The investment will primarily fund the provision of a new fleet of cars and vans in line with growing demand for GoCar car sharing services among the general public since the covid-19 pandemic.

By the end of 2022, the company forecasts a 15% increase in car sharing locations throughout Ireland compared to 2020. In total, GoCar will have more than 700 car sharing locations nationally this year, with more than 900 vehicles available to rent by the hour and more vehicles expected to be added in line with rising public demand.

Over the past two years, GoCar has been growing beyond its traditional urban centres in Dublin, Cork, Limerick and Galway – this is part of the company’s strategic commitment to make car sharing more accessible to drivers across Ireland as a sustainable and flexible alternative to private vehicle ownership. The car sharing service has already begun its regional location rollout with car sharing now available in multiple locations throughout counties Kilkenny, Wexford, Waterford, Kildare, Meath, Louth, Mayo, Wicklow, Westmeath and Kerry.

Demand for car sharing services remained buoyant following the pandemic outbreak in 2020 and public interest began to rise last year with GoCar expanding its fleet of vehicles by almost 10% in 2021, with a total of 860 vehicles available to users across the country. The company also experienced a 5% increase in car sharing trips booked in 2021 compared to 2020.


Paul McNeice, Head of Country for GoCar, said: “It’s fantastic to see demand for car sharing among the general public on the rise and as a result we are determined to make it as accessible as possible for consumers across the country. For many households, GoCar presents a reliable and important alternative to car ownership and is a really cost-effective solution for daily transport needs including commuting, shopping, recreational trips, staycations and more.

“National preference and attitudes towards private car ownership and sustainable transport are constantly evolving, and now, more than ever before, people are re-evaluating their individual transport requirements and considering flexibility, cost and importantly, environmental impact. To this effect, we hope that our investment in the national expansion of our car sharing fleet will provide an effective transport solution for more people looking for alternative transport options.”

GoCar enables customers to rent cars and vans from just €10 an hour, with corporate customers using the service to meet work-related transport needs and reduce fleet costs. Registered users can easily book via the GoCar app, then unlock the vehicle with their phone; the keys are inside the car, with fuel, insurance and Dublin city parking all included in the rental price.

Synch Payments, the Irish instant mobile payments provider, today announced that it has entered into an agreement with the European PayTech leader Nexi as its platform and service provider to help bring the Synch proposition to Irish customers and merchants.

Synch recently secured authorization from the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC), essentially clearing it to trade and paving the way for the company to move its attention fully toward launch planning for the new app.

The appointment of a technology partner is a key milestone in this regard as the platform and service provider is an essential part of the business proposition. As selected provider, Nexi have already demonstrated their credentials in the mobile payments sector with their highly regarded Jiffy platform powering mobile payments service BANCOMAT Pay in Italy.

Working with Nexi, Synch will offer Irish based banks and authorized financial institutions an innovative service that will enable merchants to receive account to account payments through at point of sale and e-commerce with an effective “mobile-only” user-experience for consumers, reducing the overall costs and contributing to further accelerating the use of digital payments in Ireland.

Speaking today, Inez Cooper, Managing Director of Synch Payments said: “With CCPC approval to trade we are now moving forward and are putting in place the critical elements that will build the foundation of our payments service here in Ireland. Central to this is partnering with a trusted and established PayTech leader who will bring their experience, innovation and proven track record on service to the Irish market for the benefit of Irish consumers and merchants – as well as all payment service providers that are licensed to join the service.

“Since the recent CCPC announcement a week ago we have had a number of enquiries from organisations that want to join the service. It is a really exciting time and we are delighted that we will have Nexi working alongside us – ensuring that we have a trusted partner with world class credentials in digital payments. We look forward to working closely with the team at Nexi in the weeks and months ahead as we work toward our launch.”

Andrea Mencarini, Cards & Digital Payments Director at Nexi stated “We were the first in Italy to develop and launch a P2P and P2B service via smartphone with Jiffy and today we feel really very proud of being selected by Synch and are eager to support the financial institutions and payments service providers that will join Synch, to deliver an instant mobile payment solution for Ireland. This is a further, important recognition of Nexi‘s capabilities to launch innovative initiatives by leveraging our know-how, expertise and people and also contributing to accelerating the development of digital payments in Europe.”

Synch, an independent corporate entity, was established in 2020 by some of Ireland’s leading banks including AIB, Bank of Ireland, Permanent TSB and KBC. The ambition behind the solution is to have an account to account, mobile payment solution for all payment types -to friends, family, retail or e-commerce, with a simple, instant mobile payment experience for all consumers and businesses in Ireland.

Shannon-based EU Consortium awarded funding to develop Unmanned Flight Ecosystem.

A European consortium coordinated by Future Mobility Campus Ireland (FMCI) in Shannon has been approved by the EU to develop a ‘Digital Sky Demonstrator’, for aerial Unmanned Traffic Management (UTM) systems.

The research project, known as ‘EALU-AER’, will see FMCI and its consortium partners conduct engineering work at the FMCI facility to develop, deploy and optimise Europe’s unmanned flight ecosystem.

The three-year project involves Irish and European partners including Shannon Group, the Irish Aviation Authority, Collins Aerospace (Ireland and France), Dublin-based Avtrain, and Deepblue in Italy.

Work will be based at FMCI’s Advanced Aerial Mobility Research Test and Development Facilities at Shannon, but will include a network of Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) routes across Ireland.

FMCI sees this project as ground-breaking new research and a  major vote of confidence in Ireland’s resourcing of advanced air mobility development, and in the industry operators and expertise present locally.

The consortium received a three-year funding award from the SESAR 3 Joint Undertaking (JU) to develop unmanned aviation business opportunities in Ireland, in a collaborative research project that will also support modernisation of air traffic management in Europe.

The SESAR 3 Joint Undertaking is a European partnership of private and public-sector entities, established to accelerate delivery of the Digital European Sky through research and innovation.

The new funding will be deployed to build an end-to-end ecosystem that supports safe operation of unmanned flights, to help both conventional and unmanned aircraft safely integrate operations.

“FMCI couldn’t be more pleased to be working with this consortium on the implementation of the EALU-AER programme. This will result in developing and building-out the critical infrastructure to allow advanced air mobility proliferate across Europe.  It will secure access to airspace for large numbers of drones and eVTOL aircraft, resulting in safe, cost-effective and sustainable transport of freight and people in the future” says Russell Vickers, CEO of Future Mobility Campus Ireland.

“This award will help us work with our partners in Ireland to create a new industry that supports safe and connected unmanned flight,” says Boe Svatek, Unmanned Systems Value Stream Leader for Collins Aerospace.

“As a founding member of the SESAR 3 JU, Collins Aerospace is actively and practically supporting its quest to modernise European air traffic management.”

The new research and development will significantly accelerate the advent of the drone and the urban air mobility economy, according to the consortium.

Welcoming the funding announcement under the CEF for Transport programme, CEO of Shannon Group, Mary Considine said:

“This is exciting initiative in unpiloted aviation management.  Shannon Group is delighted to partner on the EALU-AER project and enable this important research and development to take place on the Shannon Campus.  Shannon Airport has been at the forefront of innovation over many decades, and it is essential that we help facilitate and participate in developing the new technology and processes that will allow unpiloted aviation to integrate with legacy airspace.”

Un-manned Aerial Systems (UAS) are expected to have a profound socio-economic impact across Europe, with extensive business, public services and social applications.

Dublin-based Avtrain is Europe’s leading drone pilot and operator training and certification organisation, and is proud to be part of the new industry collaboration, says the Avtrain CEO, Julie Garland.

“We are entering a new era of innovation where the success of the industry will depend on the integration of unmanned aircraft into our airspace, rather than the segregation of airspace.  

“We look forward to working with Collins Aerospace, FMCI, Shannon Group and our partners in the project to move the industry to the next level” the CEO of Avtrain commented.

Funded by Enterprise Ireland and industry partners, the unique FMCI campus at Shannon was selected as home to the unmanned flight ecosystem development project, on account of its state-of-the-art digital framework facilities and facilities, including a recently developed Advanced Air Mobility Hub.

FMCI has already worked with Skyports, Avtrain, Shannon Group and Federal Express trialling freight delivery services using autonomous, beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) drone operations.
