New web application provides enhanced analytics and visibility for satellite tracking of shipping vessels

Geodata ecosystem provider cloudeo has launched a new web app that aims to provide enhanced analytics, visibility and a simpler user experience for tracking the location and identification details of seafaring vessels.

The new TimeCaster web app, available for purchase now in the cloudeo store, builds on the TimeCaster geoservices solution, which utilizes big data analytics to enhance ship tracking and forecasting methods. With updates every 10 minutes and the automatic identification of misleading doppelganger signals, users are provided with a near real-time feed of ship positions ten times more accurate than raw Automatic Identification System (AIS) datasets. This actionable information about location and suspicious ship behaviors empowers fleet owners and operators, commodity traders in oil and gas, environmental protection agencies, marine insurance companies, and the finance industry with the time and foresight needed to act accordingly.

The TimeCaster app also features an all-new user interface for ease-of-use and enhanced visibility into both a vessel's current location and its forecasted position up to 12 hours into the future. Users can easily track their target ship's identity and location details using the online visual mapping system, and reliably project future routes with the system's built-in analytics.

"TimeCaster allows our customers to take faster, smarter and more effective action than the competition by utilizing the most current, accurate and reliable information available about the movements of ships," says Dr. Manfred Krischke, CEO of cloudeo. "Our flexible pricing model, with realistic, low entry packages and affordable flat rates, makes the TimeCaster web app an affordable investment for businesses both large or small. Businesses can take advantage of the plan that works best for them, with our flexible month to month subscription or by subscribing to an annual plan."

Larson Releases V***r Proof LED String Light
Friday, July 13, 2018 | Posted by Michelle Howard

Industrial lighting manufacturer Larson Electronics has released a v***r proof LED string light for illuminating wet areas and rugged locations. The handheld lamp is constructed and certified to prevent water or moisture from seeping into the handle or light head when used in wet locations.

The VPLSL-5-LED from Larson Electronics is an LED string light that consists of five industrial grade v***r proof hand lamps, connected with 10 feet of 12/3 SOOW cable between each lamp. Each high output LED bulb draws just 10 watts, less than 10 percent of the electrical power of a standard 100-watt bulb yet produces 70 percent more output. Each trouble light covers approximately a 5- to 8-foot radius with 10-15-foot candles of light. The LED lights used in this hand lamp have the familiar qualities of similar incandescent models, but provide cooler operation, better light quality and great light color, making them safe and reliable for wet environments and close inspection work.The industrial lamps in this string light have no ballast, reducing the overall weight and making the assembly more compact for easy transport.

The certified v***r proof drop lights are built to survive and thrive in hazardous conditions and rugged use. Each lamp features a comfortable handle for safe and sturdy grip, and a stainless-steel wire guard to protect the glass dome. Stainless-steel hooks provide a durable overhead mounting option.

This LED string light is terminated with a 10-foot-long 12/3 SOOW chemical and abrasion resistant cable fitted with industrial grade cord cap. 10 feet of 12/3SOOW cord connect each lamp together to complete the string light assembly. The lights are configured to operate with 120-277V AC but can be ordered in 12-24V DC for low voltage operations.

"This v***r proof LED string light is a lightweight and convenient for illuminating wet areas with powerful and reliable high output light," said Rob Bresnahan, CEO of Larson Electronics LLC. "The LEDs help generate greater contrast between equipment parts and backgrounds, allowing for very close and detailed inspections."
