Shot Scope (www.shotscope.com), a leading international manufacturer of GPS-based golf management systems, today introduced the V3 Smart Golf Watch, the first multi-function watch to feature artificial intelligence and offer golfers real-time on-course performance tracking capabilities. V3’s patented Power-Sense AI strap technology captures data on every shot, delivering golfers instant feedback to better understand their swing and reach optimal performance.
Complementing the performance tracking capabilities, the V3 is the game’s most accurate lightweight, high speed golf watch, backed by proprietary dual GPS antennas (30cm GPS accuracy) that provide unmatched connectivity and synching, compared with competitive products, for precise distance measuring and pinpoint accuracy on 35,000 pre-loaded courses worldwide. The dual GPS and performance tracking innovation is built into a sleek lightweight watch design and is available in five stylish color options for an industry-best $219.
The V3’s Power-Sense AI strap technology works automatically in the background to continuously scan the golfer’s swing settings to optimize performance tracking. The technology creates an ever-increasing volume and accuracy of data collected from the golfer during play, leading to more insights and statistics that help the player understand their game better, improve on-course strategy and shoot lower scores. The more rounds the golfer plays with V3 the smarter the AI technology becomes, eventually producing highly refined settings that are personal to that individual.
“Artificial Intelligence in a smart golf watch is a game-changer as the V3 provides golfers with real-time game tracking data like never before,” said David Hunter, CEO, Shot Scope. “As a multi-function watch, and backed by V3’s Power-Sense AI strap technology and dual GPS Antennas, golfers have never been afforded such an innovative combination of performance tracking and distance measuring.”
Hunter adds, “Shot Scope technology has been used by tens of thousands of golfers worldwide recording more than 50 million shots, and our data shows that amateur golfers improve by three strokes thanks to the unique fusion of accurate distance information and automatic performance tracking technology. Our Shot Scope team is passionate and driven to deliver game changing technology solutions that empower all golfers to make significant improvements, and V3 is the realization of three years of R&D, determination and a commitment to excellence.”
V3’s shot tracking function is powered by 16 lightweight plug-n-play club RFID tags that are embedded with smart GPS chips that easily screw into the butt-end of every club. Unlike other golf performance trackers, V3’s Power-Sense AI strap technology delivers instant syncing, while enabling club recognition with no pairing, phone or tagging required. The tags ‘communicate with each other’ and identify what club was hit and its location on the course.
Utilizing this shot tracking technology, golfers can sync their V3 device with Bluetooth and download the free app for mobile use on iOS and Android. An interactive dashboard, which provides an aerial view of the course for a bird’s-eye view, enables the watch to capture and analyze over 100 tour level statistics on club distances and tee shots for measurable game improvement, while Shot Scope’s PinCollect™ technology records putt and pin location, capturing and analyzing approaches, short game and putting statistics.
“Pre-labeling the club ID tags is truly a built-in convenience factor for all golfers,” adds Hunter. “Our plug-n-play approach, which eliminates any pairing issues, establishes a new standard for sports wearables, while delivering the most accurate and precise GPS intelligence and shot tracking data available.”
As a distance measuring device, the V3 utilizes not 1, but 2 GPS antennas. This ensures V3 provides industry leading GPS accuracy on the golf course. The V3 library, which is mapped in-house at Shot Scope, features over 35,000 courses worldwide that are accessible with no subscriptions or interruptions, and free upgrades. The easy-to-navigate, daylight readable color screen, which also switches to watch mode (date and time) for everyday use, offers highly accurate dynamic distances in large fonts, in either yards or meters, to the front, middle and back of the green, plus every bunker and water hazard on the course, regardless of angle of approach for enhanced course management.
Constructed with the highest grade smart GPS chip technology on the commercial market, including a 10-hour battery life, the V3 is a complete game management system built into a smart golf watch. It offers instant, real-time information for golfers to play their next shot with confidence, as well as the ability to monitor and pinpoint strengths and weaknesses through detailed performance data.
The V3 features three different play modes - GPS, GPS+Track and Pro, to support preferences for every golfer. The GPS mode provides distances anywhere on the course, while the GPS+Track mode provides distances and automatic performance tracking during a round. The Pro mode is designed for tournament use when GPS isn’t allowed, and tracks only performance data.
The Shot Scope V3 Smart Golf Watch, which is available immediately, includes 16 pre-labeled Club ID tags and comes in five stylish watch strap options, including black, blue, red, gray and purple. Suggested retail price for the Shot Scope V3 is $219 and can be purchased at Dicks Sporting Goods, Golf Galaxy, PGA Superstores, TGW.com, golf specialty stores or online at www.shotscope.com.

Inventory Management Practices
Your company is growing. You just leased a secondary warehouse down the road from your current location. Your warehouse supervisor has filled every crack and crevice in your existing warehouse and you expect the new space will relieve some of the pressure caused by fulfillment delays, inventory shortages, and even harm cause by poor packing.
Warehouse Inventory Control Management Systems http://birdsontheblog.co.uk/10-apps-to-better-equip-a-lady-entrepreneur-2018/, or WMS, are designed to help the warehouse facility, vendors, and even customers stay on top of stock status in real time. That doesn't bother you because the manual stock that was run last month shows more than enough product share available to fulfill that order.
Had warehouse inventory management systems been put in place, you would have seen an up to the second report of the exact inventory status and even the location of the destroyed inventory waiting to be disposed of.
With the growth of micro computing devices such as RFID tags, mangers are able to keep tabs on vital warehousing information in real time. Whether you would like to monitor the movement of whole pallets of product, or the individual thing, a WMS might be the solution.
Since these systems are computer based, it's important to work closely with your IT manager to insure proper execution inventory management system project. These programs may be based on your institution's network or be internet based. Taking time to do a careful survey of needs of all systems in you product flow can prevent costly mistakes later on. These programs can often pay for themselves in a reasonable period of time.
Another key person to add in the creation of these systems is the warehouse manager. When expanding to supplementary warehouse space, workers must often do additional work in compiling orders from both centers due to badly created pick procedures.
Warehouse management systems may give the operator a bird’s eye view of the products flowing in and out of their warehouses. These computerized systems can reveal quickly areas of weakness inventory management job description that could be costing the company millions in lost merchandise and high man hours.
Companies that implement computerized inventory management systems find they save a large quantity of money in loss prevention and man hours. These systems are essential for just in time suppliers meeting customer requirements and fulfillment houses providing responsive processing for their clients. Knowing where your inventory is inside your warehouses, both local and distant, is essential for maintaining a successful flow of merchandise from the producers floor, through the warehouse, and on to the seller and consumer.
By bringing together members from every specialization in the supply chain, companies can develop a dependable system that will enable them to quickly meet their customer's needs and expand operations efficiently.

The Agazzi backpack has internal lighting and a fingerprint reader
We love a good bag here at TechCrunch. Heck, it’s a dirty little secret that Bag Week can happen several times in a given year, if we’re so inclined. Generally I prefer a bit of minimalism in my bags, though I’ve been known to go in for something a bit more complex, if it strikes my fancy. I fell in love with this Timbuk2 travel backpack on a recent trip to Asia.
By any standards, however, the Agazzi backpack is…a lot. It’s like the Samsung of backpacks. It’s big, brash, pricey. It’s looks pretty cool and has a lot of features — some of which appear to be included solely for the sake of inclusion.
But if you’re going to buy a $246 bag from Kickstarter, you’re going to want the bells and whistle. And that, mind you is the early bird price. The company says the “Pro” version will run $460 at retail. I balked a bit at the Timbuk2’s $200 price tag, mind.
That price gets you external lighting for bike rides, internal lighting for finding your stuff, an on-board charger, an RFID pocket for your wallet and, most compellingly/bizarrely, a fingerprint reader.
The company describes that last bit thusly,
Agazzi’s revolutionary anti-theft fingerprint lock keeps your belongings safe at all times. A strong stainless steel retractable cable enables you to lock your backpack compartments (no more worries about theft) as well as allows you to secure the backpack to a fixed object, providing peace of mind in crowded places.
Granted, it’s probably still easier to get into a backpack that to spoof a phone, but I can see the value in being able to tether the thing to, say, a rail, so I don’t have to take my backpack with me every time I go to the bathroom. The Verge played with a preproduction version and says it works reasonably well.
Anyway, the project’s on Kickstarter today. Deliveries are expected in September.

The new Lay-Up Points further add to an impressive suite of features available to users of the V3 GPS Smart Watch that were recently introduced for free to thousands of golfing customers.
“Adding Lay-Up Points to the V3 GPS smart watch, that is offered at an industry-leading $219 price, further innovates a product that is backed by artificial intelligence and makes real-time swing performance tracking and distance measuring easier, faster and more accurate than ever before,” said David Hunter, CEO, Shot Scope. In the spring we added a suite of new advanced technology features at no additional cost to our golfers, and now Lay-Up Points further enhances the distance measuring prowess of the V3.”
Hunter adds, “Artificial Intelligence in a smart golf watch is a game-changer as the multi-function V3 provides golfers with real-time game tracking data like never before. Shot Scope technology has been used by tens of thousands of golfers worldwide recording over 100 million shots, and our data shows that amateur golfers improve by three strokes thanks to the unique fusion of accurate distance information and automatic performance tracking technology.”
V3’s patented Power-Sense AI strap technology captures data on every shot, delivering golfers feedback to better understand their game and reach optimal performance. The V3’s Power-Sense AI strap technology works automatically in the background to continuously scan the golfer’s swing settings to optimize performance tracking. The technology creates an ever-increasing volume and accuracy of data collected from the golfer during play, leading to more insights and statistics that help the player understand their game better, improve on-course strategy and shoot lower scores. The more rounds the golfer plays with V3 the smarter the AI technology becomes, eventually producing highly refined settings that are personal to that individual.
Complementing the performance tracking capabilities, the V3 is the game’s most accurate lightweight, high speed golf watch, backed by proprietary dual GPS antennas that provide unmatched connectivity and synching, compared with competitive products, for precise distance measuring and pinpoint accuracy on 36,000 pre-loaded courses worldwide.
In addition to the new Lay-Ups feature, recent enhancements to the Shot Scope V3 Smart Golf Watch include:
Last Shot Distance: provides a calculation from the previous shot location, so a golfer can understand on course how far a drive traveled.
Enhanced GPS Acquisition: the watch remembers the satellite positions from the previous round, this memory helps GPS acquisition if used again within 7 days, reducing GPS lock time from 2 minutes to 20 seconds.
Pause: this feature is incredibly useful for a golfer who wants to practice around the green or hit a second shot. Golfers can quickly click pause performance tracking and either hit shots or have lunch between the nines.
Tag Recognition: adds a little box to the screen (can be turned off) which shows the previous shot recorded on the watch, makes sure that the golfer knows the watch automatically recognizes the tag in the club.
Lock Screen: the lock means that the watch will not skip holes if there is an erroneous button press, the golfer can have confidence that they will always be on the right hole.
Double Greens: feature brought in to help expansion into the Far East markets where numerous courses have multiple greens. Feature also resolves 9-hole courses with two sets of greens. This is a popular feature with any user affected by this as they are currently not catered for this innovatively by any other GPS company.
Powering V3’s shot tracking function are 16 lightweight plug-n-play club RFID tags that are embedded with smart GPS chips that easily screw into the butt-end of every club. Unlike other golf performance trackers, V3’s Power-Sense AI strap technology delivers instant syncing, while enabling club recognition with no pairing, phone or tagging required. The tags ‘communicate with the watch’ and identify what club was hit and its location on the course.
Utilizing this shot tracking technology, golfers can sync their V3 device with Bluetooth and download the free app for mobile use on iOS and Android. An interactive dashboard, which provides an aerial view of the course for a bird’s-eye view, enables the watch to capture and analyze over 100 tour level statistics on club distances and tee shots for measurable game improvement, while Shot Scope’s PinCollect™ technology records putt and pin location, capturing and analyzing approaches, short game and putting statistics.
As a distance measuring device, the V3 utilizes not 1, but 2 GPS antennas. This ensures V3 provides industry leading GPS accuracy on the golf course. The V3 library, which is mapped in-house at Shot Scope, features over 36,000 courses worldwide that are accessible with no subscriptions or interruptions, and free upgrades. The easy-to-navigate, daylight readable color screen, which also switches to watch mode (date and time) for everyday use, offers highly accurate dynamic distances in large fonts, in either yards or meters, to the front, middle and back of the green, plus every bunker and water hazard on the course, regardless of angle of approach for enhanced course management.
Constructed with the highest-grade smart GPS chip technology on the commercial market, including a 10-hour battery life, the V3 is a complete game management system built into a smart golf watch. It offers instant, real-time information for golfers to play their next shot with confidence, as well as the ability to monitor and pinpoint strengths and weaknesses through detailed performance data.
The V3 features three different play modes - GPS, GPS+Track and Pro, to support preferences for every golfer. The GPS mode provides distances anywhere on the course, while the GPS+Track mode provides distances and automatic performance tracking during a round. The Pro mode is designed for tournament use when GPS is not allowed and tracks only performance data.
The Shot Scope V3 Smart Golf Watch, which comes in four stylish watch strap options, including black, blue, red, and gray, has a suggested retail of $219 and can be purchased at Dicks Sporting Goods, Golf Galaxy, PGA Superstores, golf specialty stores or online at www.shotscope.com.

The Agazzi backpack has internal lighting and a fingerprint reader
We love a good bag here at TechCrunch. Heck, it’s a dirty little secret that Bag Week can happen several times in a given year, if we’re so inclined. Generally I prefer a bit of minimalism in my bags, though I’ve been known to go in for something a bit more complex, if it strikes my fancy. I fell in love with this Timbuk2 travel backpack on a recent trip to Asia.
By any standards, however, the Agazzi backpack is…a lot. It’s like the Samsung of backpacks. It’s big, brash, pricey. It looks pretty cool and has a lot of features — some of which appear to be included solely for the sake of inclusion.
But if you’re going to buy a $246 bag from Kickstarter, you’re going to want the bells and whistles. And that, mind you, is the early-bird price. The company says the “Pro” version will run $460 at retail. I balked a bit at the Timbuk2’s $200 price tag, mind.
That price gets you external lighting for bike rides, internal lighting for finding your stuff, an on-board charger, an RFID pocket for your wallet and, most compellingly/bizarrely, a fingerprint reader.
The company describes that last bit thusly:
Agazzi’s revolutionary anti-theft fingerprint lock keeps your belongings safe at all times. A strong stainless steel retractable cable enables you to lock your backpack compartments (no more worries about theft) as well as allows you to secure the backpack to a fixed object, providing peace of mind in crowded places.
Granted, it’s probably still easier to get into a backpack than to spoof a phone, but I can see the value in being able to tether the thing to, say, a rail, so I don’t have to take my backpack with me every time I go to the bathroom. The Verge played with a preproduction version and says it works reasonably well.
Anyway, the project’s on Kickstarter today. Deliveries are expected in September.
