Kongsberg PCS at Media Expo New Delhi

Visitors to this month’s MediaExpo in New Delhi event will discover first-hand how the Kongsberg X Series of digital cutting tables can enable businesses to boost their productivity and creativity. From 12-14 September, the Kongsberg Precision Cutting Systems (Kongsberg PCS) team will be at stand C26 of the Pragati Maidan in New Delhi, showcasing how its X24 cutting system and range of advanced tooling combine to help sign and display converters meet increasing demand and drive throughput.

“With a noticeable shift towards more eco-friendly materials, the versatility of finishing equipment becomes crucial,” said Rafiq Shaikh, sales and service leader at Kongsberg PCS. “The Kongsberg machine stands out in this regard, offering cutting and routing capabilities that allow it to efficiently process a wide range of materials with minimal setup time.

“This single machine can surpass the production speeds of traditional routers, lasers, and plotters, leading to significant savings on labor and floor space,” he said. “By integrating a Kongsberg machine into their operations, businesses can streamline production while staying aligned with the growing demand for sustainable solutions. At Media Expo New Delhi, we’ll highlight how the Kongsberg X24 Edge delivers the flexibility needed to address these current and future challenges, protecting a business's investment and equipping it for what's ahead.”

Kongsberg digital cutting tables are engineered for continuous 24/7 operation, ensuring they meet high production demands with flawless finish and precision. With a minimal learning curve, the machines do not require highly sophisticated knowledge or skills to operate, making them accessible and easy to use. Additionally, the operating costs are kept low thanks to their efficient power consumption and minimal need for consumables. This combination of reliability, ease of use, and cost-effectiveness makes Kongsberg machines an excellent investment for businesses looking to optimize their production processes.

“The Kongsberg X24 Edge can easily handle the full spectrum of display, signage and packaging materials from kiss-cutting vinyl through to heavy-duty milling,” said Rafiq. “There is no sacrifice on machine configuration with all the X-Series options available, and perhaps most importantly the X24 Edge can evolve to keep pace with the changing demands of a business, and those of their customers.

“At Kongsberg PCS, we are harnessing the latest technology in solutions that meet the challenge of delivering the creative freedom demanded by consumers,” added Rafiq. “Throughout this event, we will demonstrate how the wide range of specialty tools ensures the cutting system can easily handle a wide range of applications to bring the most creative designs to life without compromising on quality.

“Over the three days, we’ll demonstrate the routing, cutting, creasing and notching capabilities of the versatile table on a range of creative displays,” he said. “What’s more, we’ll do this using a whole range of materials - everything from acrylic, foam board and MDF through to PVC, polycarbonate and vinyl.”

Rafiq said these demonstrations would highlight the versatility of the Kongsberg X24 Edge, cutting more materials with fewer - but specialist - tools, which helps reduce stop time for greater efficiency and productivity and also reduce wastage.

“Incorporating the X24 Edge into an existing production not only enables a business to boost its throughput but also gives them the ability to accept any size order run and even expand their offering to drive overall sales,” he said. “This is particularly beneficial for those converters considering a move into packaging, with the Kongsberg X24 Edge having the versatility to switch from sign and display jobs to packaging in next to no time.

“Not only this, but the modular table can also easily be upgraded with additional tooling, speed and even acceleration to ensure it keeps up with your business demands,” he said.

To see demos of the versatile Kongsberg X24 Edge in action or to discuss your digital cutting needs, visit the Kongsberg PCS team at Stand #C26 at Media Expo New Delhi from 12-14 September 2024.

Miku Expo Austin Rep!!

MIKUMIKU 🌐

[scootatwoni]

Miku expo 2024 is off to a truly awful start but I haven't seen any posts on here detailing the mess. So here we go, here's what's happened so far.

I will be linking some posts and threads from Twitter and will update this post as need be.

5/1 edits and additions are in blue

**PLEASE DO NOT comment or send me DMs complaining about the setlist**

**Rather than tweet complaints at the Miku Expo twitter account, it may be best to email CFM and/or Crunchyroll directly.**

🎵 First up, ticket presales.

This year the expo was sponsored by Crunchyroll and ticket presales were only supposed to be available to those that had a Crunchyroll subscription. Those that qualified were emailed a code for presale. However, when that code was inevitably leaked to the public, it turned out anyone could buy presales because it wasn't set up in any way to verify your subscription.

Additionally, VIP tickets are supposed to give the holder early access to the venue and merch tables, but I'm hearing that this is not being honored despite it being advertised on some of the venue pages. (see replies to this tweet)

VIP for San Jose did not grant early access to merch

The VIP package does not include a glow stick (scroll down to "about MIKU EXPO VIP PACKAGE" here), which causes some more difficulties for those that were not able to buy a glow stick online.

🎵 Merch

Higher prices and lower stock than usual. This is especially frustrating for the glow sticks.

The only glow sticks that are allowed inside these venues are ones made for the event or ones from past vocaloid concerts. This is because other glow sticks are too bright and will reflect on the hologram screen. But what with the stocks being so low, many people can't even get these glow sticks.

Merch at the venues is also not looking promising. People are reporting there have only been a quantity of 95 glow sticks per venue.

The Official Miku instagram announced on 5/1 a merch restock. At this point there are only 7 shows left (the next of which is on 5/2). It is unlikely any of the merch will arrive on time.

🎵 so about that screen

The biggest news to come out about Miku expo 2024 is that they arent using the hologram screen. The Vancouver and Portland concerts have used an LED screen.

This was neither advertised nor communicated from CFM or Crunchyroll to the public.

This also makes the prohibiting of outside glow sticks redundant, as they won't interfere with an LED screen.

An LED screen is much cheaper to use than the transparent screen used for the holograms. And a lot of folks are pointing out the discrepancies between this and the higher ticket and merch prices.

The LED screen is also a lot more noticeable and out of place, it hasn't been blended well on the stage so far. Views from further back and the sides are not looking great.

The Miku Expo team have stated that the Vancouver show was filmed officially. Seeing as the LED screen was also used in Portland, we can reasonably assume the LED has nothing to do with the filming.

Fans are speculating that the reason the Miku Expo team have prohibited photos and videos at this year's expo is to hide the fact that an LED screen is being used for multiple concerts.

There's also speculation that the hologram screen is in CA in preparation for Coachella, where Miku is meant to preform on the 13th and 20th of April. Please note that this is just speculation, we have no way atm to confirm this. UPDATE: The LED was used at Coachella

Additionally, I personally would recommend not getting your hopes up about the hologram screen replacing the LED one for any concerts after Coachella. Seeing as neither Crunchyroll or CFM have communicated or addressed any of the complaints yet, we may just be stuck with the LED for the whole tour.

A spokesperson for CFM addressed the concerns via this article from Business Insider. The LED will be used for the entirety of the NA and Europe tour.

The LED screen broke during the phoenix show. Apparently the vibration from the bass was so strong it shook the connection lose. It was fixed at the end of On The Rocks.

🎵 the doujin goods incident at Vancouver

Please refer to this thread for the full info, but here is a summary:

The Miku Expo team refused to let a fan distribute free doujin goods despite this fan getting prior permission from CFM to do so. An individual also took this fan's miku cutout, though I believe it was returned later.

🎵 there is still a live band

I figured I'd clear this up since I've seen some mild miscommunication on it. There is a live band, just not the usual band they have for Miku concerts. This is not at all an issue, and in fact I've heard nothing but good things about the live band. I figured I'd bring it up for information's sake.

Honestly, kudos to them killing it on stage in the midst of the mess.

🎵 Miscellaneous

-Someone Allegedly pissed on the floor of the Vancouver show. I have. no words. What the FUCK dude. If anyone can find the original tweet(s) claiming this, please link them to me. I'm not rooting through vocatwt to find the piss tweets.

-There was a car crash outside of the san jose concert, in front of a full line of miku expo attendees. The driver's plate fell off. Fans got a hold of it and took pictures with it, some using the hashtag #trafficjam as a reference to the NILFRUITS song of the same name. Someone even kept the plate.

UPDATE: The plate was returned to the authorities

-Fans cheering for Elmo at San Jose.

-Someone is looking into a class action lawsuit. This has sparked some discourse. Many want some kind of justice irt to the poor organization of Miku Expo thus far, but others are fearful that taking any kind of legal actions will put the future of NA vocaloid concerts in jeopardy.

-Someone brought a ball pit to the atlanta show

-Master Chief in the miku expo pit. Jesus was there too.

-Garfield

-A man suspected back in 2016 of having CP and investigated by the police, attends the Atlanta show. Do not exchange personal info with this man. If you already have, please cut ties immediately. Please report any suspicious activity to the authorities. Here is his entry on the US sex offender registry.

🎼Concluding notes

It's been 6 years since Miku expo has come overseas. The 2020 tour was cancelled due to covid and Miku expo 2024 is it's 10th anniversary. This was supposed to be a big deal, a huge comeback tour for NA!!

However, due to absolute abysmal planning on Crunchyroll and CFM's parts, Miku expo has been a massive disappointment for many fans so far.

I know I'm nervous for when I go in May, but I want to try and end this on a more positive note.

Vocaloid has, first and foremost, always been about the music and the community. It's undeniable that we as fans have been mistreated by CFM and Crunchyroll here This is not the concert tour we deserve, but I'm sure we can still find things to enjoy.

Hearing vocaloid songs live has always been a dream of mine, and for the first time in my life I'll be surrounded in person by folks who love vocaloid as much as I do. I couldn't even fathom being in this situation back in the early days of vocaloid, being a little kid listening to Melt and World is Mine for the very first time.

I'm absolutely still angry about how the expo has been handled, but I still want to enjoy what I can, being with folks who share that same passion.

There are plenty of fans on twitter detailing the fun time they had at the shows so far. If you do end up going, you can absolutely still have fun too!! And please please please do not spread your negativity to the producers on the set list for Miku expo and Coachella. These artists worked so hard and they are not responsible for the bad decisions made this year.

Orafol unveils Oralite Eco Traffic printer at Media Expo Mumbai 2024

In collaboration with printing technology expert Roland, Orafol, a leading manufacturer of retroreflective materials, unveiled the Oralite Eco Traffic printer at Media Expo Mumbai 2024. This solution marks an advancement in eco-solvent printing technology, specifically tailored for traffic applications.

Commented on the significance of the innovation, Anshul Vashistha, national sales manager, Graphic Innovations at Orafol India, said, "With the rapid growth in the road network in India, the market for retroreflective signs is growing. We are manufacturing the retroreflective sheet as well as the print solution. So, our partners can now offer a complete solution to the government. This particular business fully runs on a business-to-government (B2G) model."

In addition to the Oralite Eco Traffic printer, Orafol highlighted the Oralite 5017 eco-solvent digital printing inks, perfectly compatible with the printer and featuring highly resilient pigments.

"With this ink system, we offer a 7 to 12 years warranty depending upon the media being used. Whereas when you look at all the digital print machines, the maximum warranty they can offer is five years,” Vashistha said.

Key features of the Oralite Eco Traffic printer include its ability to handle a maximum media width of 295 mm to 1,371 mm and a maximum print width of 1,346 mm, ensuring versatility and efficiency in printing operations.
