ERGOSENSE ADOPTS THINGSTREAM FOR
GLOBAL FACILITY MANAGEMENT SOLUTION
By combining Thingstream’s
globally available IoT
Communication-as-a-Service
solution with Ergosense’s
suite of measurement and
monitoring devices, there is
now a secure, reliable and
cost predictable option to
help gain e iciencies when
managing facilities.
Ergosense’s devices
help identify and manage
e iciencies within the
workspace. It became clear
that to connect devices that measure temperature, air quality, decibels, light,
and occupancy, connecting to the premises through Wi-Fi was too complicated,
posed numerous security questions and was ultimately unreliable.
With Thingstream, Ergosense can now manufacture its devices embedding
Thingstream’s IoT Communication-as-a-Service solution which guarantees
Low Power GSM coverage in over 190 countries worldwide. For distributors of
Ergosense, they now have a truly plug-and-connect, making installation and
maintenance simple.
Ergosense’s facilities management IoT devices use a Bluetooth mesh network
which is linked to the central “Doc” device which, in turn, uses Thingstream to
manage data flow via Low Power GSM.

SELF-HEALING CUTTING MATS NOW
AVAILABLE FROM FIRST MATS
Birmingham-based matting experts, First Mats Ltd, has launched a new range of
self-healing cutting mats. The mats are designed to protect workbenches and
other surfaces from cutting marks caused by knives, rotary cutters, and similar
tools.
The new range will include a variety of di erent grades and styles; such as the
traditional Green cutting mats complete with grid marking, and transparent
cutting mats designed for flat-bed laminators and graphics applications.
Heavy-Duty white cutting mats
have also been introduced which
are ideally suited to industrial
and commercial facilities such as
packaging areas. The hard-wearing
nature of white cutting mats
ensures many years of use, even in
the most demanding of industrial
environments.
Unlike traditional work surface
protectors, the self-healing cutting
mats quickly ‘heal up’ to maintain a smooth surface. This helps the user to
consistently cut straight without creating grooves in the material surface, and
also vastly improve the lifespan of cutting implements.
Richard O’Connor, Strategic Marketing Director of First Mats, said: “This new
range of self-healing cutting mats provides a fantastic addition to our already
established range of Anti-Fatigue Mats, where First Mats is regarded as one of the
market leaders. By extending our range of products, we continue our impressive
growth in both the commercial and domestic marketplace.”

GERFLOR FLOORINGS COMPLETE NEW
AXHOLME NORTH LEISURE CENTRE
The completion of a multi-million pound
new leisure centre ‘kitted-out’ with no less
than five high performance Gerflor flooring
products, has boosted the leisure o ering
available to a rural community in the north
of the Isle of Axholme, North Lincolnshire.
Previously the only leisure provision for
residents was an old school hall without
a swimming pool, North Lincolnshire
Council wanted to help increase the local
numbers participating in sport and active
recreation by putting in place the right
infrastructure.
Since first impressions count, design-led
flooring solutions for the customer-facing
areas was decided upon, and, as a result,
Gerflor’s Taralay Impression Control fitted
the brief by combining the specification
qualities of performance and slip resistance along with aesthetics. Installed
within the reception, corridors and cafeteria areas, it also unified and enhanced
the décor of these hard working, communal spaces.
A simple to maintain surface was also an important characteristic for the multifunction
fitness studio flooring enabling it to be quickly cleaned. Meeting this
brief with ease was Gerflor’s Taraflex Comfort in wood-e ect design ‘Oak’: “Being
a multi-use space, we needed a hardwearing surface but not a clinical
feel or look."

ARTIC RENOVATE DARENT VALLEY’S PINE
THERAPY WARD GARDEN
Artic have recently renovated the Pine
Therapy Ward’s Garden at Darent Valley
Hospital in collaboration with the Hospital’s
charity.
Following the Ride to Amsterdam to
raise money for the Small Baby Unit and
new Breast Cancer so ware, the charity
approached us to be part of this renovation,
of course we welcomed the opportunity
to give something back to our local
community.
The Hospital’s garden is situated on the
chemotherapy ward, and our aim was to
make the small space a sanctuary, giving
chemotherapy patients the opportunity to
relax and convalesce in calm surroundings
during their treatment. The old space
needed the broken floor replaced and
we decided new artificial grass would
revitalise the surroundings and bring
the garden to life.
Artic were pleased to contribute our
services to complete this project, and
the sta of the hospital can’t wait to
open the doors to host their infamous
Christmas and Summer parties.
