KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 16 -- Blue California has announced the expansion of its natural flavour and fragrance portfolio of captive ingredients by producing a clean, sustainable nerolidol.
“Biotechnology is opening doors to sustainable ingredients that weren't previously possible,” said head of flavours and fragrances at Blue California, Kathy Oglesby. “Our collaboration with innovation partner Conagen provides efficient and effective commercialisation, leading us to deliver to our client-creators a full range of captive ingredients, trademarked Plantarôme,™ for use in our flavours and fragrances.” Nerolidol is found in many flowers and plants, particularly in Seville orange flower, also known as Neroli, which gives the aroma chemical its name. It is recognised for its floral, woody aroma and can also be described as a fresh scent, blending well with citrus, apple, or rose but light enough to complement any type of scent or flavour. Nerolidol is therefore, ideal for use in many applications and known for its relaxing effects, according to a statement. Nerolidol is first in a full range of natural ingredients in the 2022 pipeline of Blue California's Taste, Smell, and Beauty Division. Conagen develops one of the most high-yielding fermentation platforms for producing sesquiterpenes and lactones. With its functional advantages in many industries due to its moderate polarity and optical activity, nerolidol is also a useful, sustainable fine chemical intermediate.

CHENNAI, India, Dec 16 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FourKites®, the world’s leading real-time supply chain visibility platform, today announced a year of record growth as the company executed on its vision to optimize global supply chains with real-time visibility data and machine learning. Globally, the company saw triple-digit growth in total shipments; drove 95% growth in new APAC customers and 50% total growth in new customers globally – including Barilla Group, Cardinal Health, Haworth, LyondellBasell, McCain Foods, Roehm, Rove Concepts and Yamaha Motors; significantly expanded its carrier network; and extended real-time visibility to more than 2,800 ports and 2.5 million facilities worldwide. Key to its growth in 2021 was FourKites’ significant expansion in APAC, with notable year-over-year increases in total loads, ports and facilities tracked. Additionally, the company made critical executive appointments and expanded its employee base on the heels of a $100 million financing round. Specifically, in 2021 FourKites APAC saw: · 120% growth in loads year-over-year, with over 112 billion miles tracked and over 5 billion estimated times of arrival computed globally · 50% growth of its APAC carrier network · 2X growth in monthly intermodal volume, with over-the-road, ocean, rail and barge tracking capabilities across 42 countries in the region · 4X growth in monthly ocean volume, and now tracking 98% of global ocean traffic · 91% growth in the number of ports tracked per month · 89% growth in the number of facilities tracked per month, with nearly 8,000 facilities tracked in APAC Alleviating disruptions with innovative solutions for every mode FourKites’ local teams and industry expertise in APAC have helped the company address critical use cases in the region, including the ability to track cross-border shipments and the temperature of freight. And amid another year of constant disruptions, FourKites doubled-down on its customer-driven innovation model, with more than 65 new features resulting from customer feedback. These industry-first capabilities help FourKites users track shipments end-to-end across all modes and geographies, from sourcing to manufacturing to final destination. These innovations included the patented Smart Forecasted Arrival (SFA) that provides frequent and highly accurate ETAs even for untrackable freight in transit.

Forging powerful new partnerships to accelerate end-to-end visibility In 2021, FourKites forged new strategic partnerships with global supply chain and technology leaders as it continues to execute on its bold vision for the future of digital supply chains, where automated, interconnected and collaborative supply chains are optimized by real-time visibility data and machine learning. New partnerships in 2021 include a global partnership with Zebra Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ: ZBRA), in which Zebra is now reselling FourKites’ Dynamic Yard and real-time visibility platform as part of its suite of asset visibility solutions. Additionally, Zebra’s MotionWorks Yard solution has been integrated with FourKites Dynamic Yard and Zebra locationing hardware and professional services to increase the in-yard and over-the-road capabilities of their customers. In addition, FourKites announced an alliance with Infosys to accelerate the delivery of best-in-class supply chain process innovations and technology solutions. “It’s been another year of tremendous challenges, but also extraordinary collaboration and progress as a supply chain community,” said FourKites founder and CEO Mathew Elenjickal. “I’m particularly proud of our momentum in the APAC region, where we are now tracking loads in 42 countries. There is a great deal more to come in 2022 as we continue to invest in the region with new talent, solutions and partnerships.” In 2021, FourKites’ market leadership was recognized via several prestigious industry awards and reports; including being named a leader in the 2021 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Real-Time Transportation Visibility Platforms; #1 supply chain visibility software provider in G2’s Winter Grid® based on overall Market Presence; the sole supply chain company named an AI Trailblazer by Everest Group; and recognition as a Great Place to Work® by the Great Place to Work (GPTW) Institute for the third consecutive year. Customers in their own words "I've engaged with the FourKites team and they have a fundamental, deep interest in the problems that we have. It's tough to find that.

First opened in 2017, the Andrews Hub is part of NEP’s growing network of centralised production centres and a global production ecosystem. With its main facilities located in Sydney and Melbourne, and satellite locations, or “spokes”, in Adelaide and Brisbane, the Andrews Hub has supported numerous clients in producing shows across continents, often thousands of kilometers away from where the match or live event is taking place – even across the Pacific Ocean. Demand for remote production began well before COVID-19 when broadcasters realized the benefits of a more efficient and environmentally sustainable approach in which technical producers and directors, replay operators, graphics teams, and on-air talent could all be in different places from where the action was captured. The pandemic accelerated this adoption of centralised and remote workflows as border closures and domestic and international travel restrictions began to severely limit the ability to move crew and talent from one venue to another. “In 2017 when we launched the Andrews Hub we went to the moon and back in every centralised IP broadcast each day,” said Soames Treffry, President of NEP Australia, New Zealand & Japan. “Our second-generation Andrews Hub is a story of continued investment and innovation in how we’ve built the largest-scale, 4K, centralised production complex on the planet. “Tier 1 sports broadcasting is in our DNA, and it has driven the development of our own control system, ‘TFC’, and our ‘anyone, anywhere’ philosophy,” he continued. “And with the launch of the Hybrid Grip trailer, we’ll be reducing our onsite footprint even further, making our services more sustainable again. “Our team are proud to deliver this broadcast leadership to the world.” Foxtel Group Chief Technology and Operations Officer Les Wigan said: “As Australia’s largest producer of Tier 1 sports, NEP’s commitment to innovation and best-in-class solutions makes them a great long-term partner for our business. Their continued investment supports Fox Sports providing our 2.4 million sports subscribers an outstanding viewing experience across Foxtel and Kayo Sports." State-of-the-Art, Sustainable Design, and Innovative Technology Create Room to Grow As part of its expansion, NEP will build four new control rooms and upgrade its Network Operations Centers to meet increased demand. Work areas for shading and HDR grading of footage before it goes on air will be added, as well as new “mini” studios and commentary suites for on-screen, off-tube commentary. http://mrem.bernama.com/viewsm.php?idm=41931 |
