Year: 2022

FRANKFURT AM MAIN, Germany, May 10, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — DQS Group is online with its new website: The relaunch of the homepage is in line with the new, globally uniform brand strategy: under the claim “Simply leveraging Quality” DQS positions itself as an international thought leader that offers its customers meaningful added value and a seamless customer experience through audits and certifications of processes and management systems.

“In an increasingly complex and dynamic world, people and organizations find it increasingly difficult to obtain stability and a sense of purpose. As a certification body, we can help to create trust, security, and orientation,” explains Ingo M. Rübenach, Managing Director of DQS Holding GmbH. “In order to meet this responsibility, we decided to analyze our brand presence and adapt it to the requirements of a digital business world. The result is our new brand strategy, uniform across around 60 countries, which is reflected in the website for the first time, but will shape our actions for years to come.”

The DQS brand: Ambitious, competent, dynamic

In today’s agile and uncertain world, people and organizations are increasingly losing their clarity and orientation: highly professional, often state-sponsored actors are causing confusion online with targeted disinformation campaigns and deceptively genuine deep fakes. Even beyond digitization, more and more criminals are taking advantage of the increasing complexity to enrich themselves with fake products, fake news, or sophisticated social engineering.

Trust is the most valuable currency

In online and offline business, trust thus becomes a valuable currency, and a proven way to earn the trust of customers and partners is to have one’s processes audited and certified by reliable third parties. For this purpose, DQS positions itself as a competent and learned partner that understands its customers’ processes, contributes to their success with practicable impetus, and generates tangible added value on many levels with audits and certifications:

•  Certificates provide a robust foundation for organizations to gain credibility and build trusting customer relationships – and, conversely, help customers and consumers to quickly and reliably evaluate suppliers, products, and services in a dynamic world.
• Certificates are a prerequisite for successful market access in an increasing number of industries and segments, for example in the automotive industry or for manufacturers of medical devices.
• Certifications are a valuable sign of quality and differentiation in the market. A proof of environmental management in accordance with ISO 14001 is a weighty argument for many customers in times of climate change, and rightly so.
• Being open to new ideas, DQS enables organizations to improve their processes for the benefit of their customers and to set the course for simple, smooth certification and a high quality customer experience with innovative solutions.

A website for your knowledge advantage in more than 30 languages 

“From now on, we present ourselves on our homepage as a sustainable and modern brand that is known for quality in service as well as for innovation and intelligent approaches to digital solutions,” explains DQS manager Rübenach. “And also with a view to the rapidly advancing globalization of our business, the relaunch represents an important step forward for us: from now on, we will offer visitors all over the world the same broad range of information and the same high usability worldwide. This reinforces our claim to be a reliable partner for customers around the globe when it comes to continuously improving management systems and processes.”

Adding Short-Takeoff & Landing Capability to Industry-Leading RPA Enhances Versatility

SAN DIEGO, May 10, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — To further extend the versatility of its MQ-9B line of Remotely Piloted Aircraft, General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) announced today that it will begin developing a short takeoff and landing (STOL)-capable MQ-9B aircraft, which includes the SkyGuardian^® and SeaGuardian^® models. GA-ASI is taking on this revolutionary engineering effort to meet an evolving operational environment in contested expeditionary environments.

GA-ASI began STOL development in 2017 as part of its Mojave initiative. STOL capability was initially flown on a modified Gray Eagle Extended Range platform in 2021, but now the company will begin developing STOL on the MQ-9B, a platform already selected by the Royal Air Force, the Belgium Ministry of Defence, and the Japan Coast Guard. MQ-9B STOL will combine GA-ASI’s proven long-endurance, highly reliable UAS products with the versatility to execute missions in more austere locations, opening the operational envelope for commanders across all services and geographic locations.

The MQ-9B STOL configuration will consist of an optional wing and tail kit that can be installed in less than a day. The core aircraft and its sub-systems remain the same. Operators can perform the modification in a hangar or on a flight line, delivering a capability that otherwise would require the purchase of a whole new aircraft.

“Imagine taking the hardtop off your Jeep. You lift it off, stow it in your garage, and now you’ve got an open vehicle. If it rains, you put the hardtop back on. We’re the same. Take a standard MQ-9B, put the STOL kit on, and then go fly,” said GA-ASI President David R. Alexander.

MQ-9B STOL, which is part of GA-ASI’s Mojave series of unmanned aircraft, also presents an opportunity for future operations aboard an aircraft carrier or big-deck amphibious assault ship. The wings fold so that MQ-9B STOL could be parked on the deck or in the hangar bay, just like other naval aircraft. When it’s time to launch, operators will start the aircraft, unfold the wings, and take off over the bow without the need for catapults. GA-ASI believes the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps will take note of this innovation as it opens the door to persistent and long-range Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) operations over blue water.  

About GA-ASI

General Atomics-Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI), an affiliate of General Atomics, is a leading designer and manufacturer of proven, reliable remotely piloted aircraft (RPA) systems, radars, and electro-optic and related mission systems, including the Predator^® RPA series and the Lynx^® Multi-mode Radar.

Software designed by Industrial Hygiene experts uses industry best practices, rapid time-to-valueCority Software Logo

TORONTO, May 10, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — It’s estimated that over 2 million people globally lose their lives each year due to diseases linked to workplace exposure to harmful substances. While many organizations have industrial hygiene programs in place, shrinking hygiene budgets and the loss of hygiene experts are making the effort to effectively manage these exposures, and thereby reduce the risk of occupational illness, much more challenging. In response to the market need, leading global EHS (Environment, Health, and Safety) software provider, Cority, announced today the availability of its Hygiene Essentials solution, providing businesses an entry point to digitizing their industrial hygiene management program simply, affordably, and quickly.

Cority’s Hygiene Essentials packages industry best practices and proven workflows in a ready-to-use, rapid time-to-value solution that can scale with a customer’s growth and changing needs. The solution enables organizations to manage all quantitative and qualitative occupational exposure assessment data in one central place, in real-time, to clearly identify hazards, evaluate and manage risks, and develop an effective and comprehensive hygiene program to protect their workforce in the near and long term.

Industrial hygiene hazards are largely invisible and difficult to predict; their effects may not manifest for decades. Without reliable data that quantifies the risk – including the degree of exposure, the exposure duration, and the number of people exposed – organizations may not feel a sense of urgency to prioritize these sorts of potential issues over more seemingly immediate health and safety risks.

“Companies invest in solving problems they can see and measure. Lung disease from long-term chemical exposure or hearing loss related to high noise levels are much less tangible and immediate than a broken leg from a slip and fall accident,” said Sean Baldry, senior product marketing manager for Cority. “Cority provides organizations with the tools to act now and make informed decisions about where and how to invest in the health of their employees before the exposure becomes a bigger problem and their reputation as a responsible employer is negatively impacted.”

The Hygiene Essentials solution gives companies the ability to:

• Automate monitoring plans to speed up performance tracking, transfer data to external labs, and compare results against exposure limits to determine compliance
• Record and upload monitoring data from the field on any mobile device, reducing secondary administration and errors, helping to address issues early
• Group employees based on user-defined criteria to streamline monitoring plans and extrapolate results to trigger associated surveillance activities
• Track metrics and uncover key insights to help make data-driven decisions to manage hygiene risk

“Leveraging our internal team’s backgrounds in industrial hygiene and safety, as well as our experience configuring custom solutions for our customers, we build the wealth of that knowledge into the software,” said Laura Beeler, senior manager of EHS solutions for Cority who has previously served in a number of health and safety roles within global enterprises. “You don’t have to have an industrial hygienist on staff or know advanced statistics to be able to use the solution.”

The Cority teams’ level of demonstrated industrial and occupational hygiene expertise was a key factor in Dow Chemical Company’s selection of Cority to replace its outdated homegrown solution that was used for decades to manage employee risks.

“Some other solutions offered industrial hygiene packages, but they weren’t primarily focused on industrial hygiene,” said Jim Weldy, industrial hygiene manager for Dow. “The details matter. If a vendor doesn’t really understand how you’re trying to protect workers, the solution can miss the boat rather significantly.”

Hygiene Essentials is also part of CorityOne^TM, the company’s integrated EHS SaaS-based platform, which provides a scalable and seamless path for future growth. The responsible business platform enables datasets to be combined from across the organization for realizing improved efficiencies, actionable insights, data-driven decisions, and more accurate reporting. Building on an organization’s industrial hygiene program, clients can easily unify all their EHS programs into a single comprehensive platform to uncover key insights and create a single, accurate, and holistic view of EHS performance.

Hygiene Essentials is the second Essentials solution released by Cority this year and the fifth in its product portfolio. Like all Cority’s Essentials packages, the solution is designed for rapid deployment, providing a starting point based on best practices and proven processes and focusing on foundational elements of an occupational hygiene program. The Essentials packages drive accelerated adoption and quick wins that organizations can build on for future expansion by offering faster time-to-value and lower total cost of ownership. Hygiene Essentials is a standardized version of Cority’s comprehensive Industrial Hygiene solution under the Cority Health Cloud.
