DURHAM, N.C., March 15, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bell and Howell announced today its new click-and-collect model designed specifically for big box stores, warehouse clubs and other category specialists. BH QuickCart is a fully customizable, dynamic cart retrieval system that expedites and enhances the “buy online pick up in store” (BOPIS) experience for retailers and customers alike.

“Bell and Howell has quickly emerged as the leading provider of the world’s most comprehensive automated click-and-collect solutions that enable retailers to streamline and optimize the in-store order pickup process,” said Bell and Howell CEO Ramesh Ratan, Ph.D. “BH QuickCart allows us to extend the same convenience and efficiency to big box retailers and home improvement stores, where traditional solutions may not work due to the unique nature of their product mix, especially with very large and quite often very heavy products.”

BH QuickCart is a dynamic order retrieval solution that can be modified to meet any retailer’s unique needs while seamlessly integrating into the store’s existing physical infrastructure. Designed for indoor or outdoor use, the system has the ability to accommodate large shopping carts, flatbeds and even full pallets. BH QuickCart allows retailers to select from a variety of security options, including physical and virtual locks. It can also be refrigerated to accommodate perishable goods. When installed outside the store, it offers a 24-hour pickup option for added customer convenience.

BH QuickCart simplifies the pickup process for online, as well as will call orders. Once an order is ready for pickup, the associate checks the order into the BH QuickCart system, which then automatically sends the customer a text or email notifying them that their order is ready for pickup. At their convenience, the customer simply walks up to the BH QuickCart terminal, scans their barcode or types in the unique code and in seconds the unit identifies and releases the cart or flatbed containing their order.

BH QuickCart is the latest addition to Bell and Howell’s click-and-collect solutions, following the North American debut of the CleverFlex by Cleveron smart locker earlier this month. The company’s product portfolio also includes the PackRobot by Cleveron and CleverBox by Cleveron automated self-service lockers, providing retailers of all sizes with a robust click-and-collect solution to fit their specific needs.

Like all of Bell and Howell’s click-and-collect solutions, BH QuickCart is backed by Bell and Howell’s world-renowned service organization and our innovative remote monitoring and IoT-enabled services. These advanced services empower retailers with valuable insights on customer usage. BH QuickCart can also leverage the data to predict peak retrieval times, as well as weather and traffic patterns to ensure an optimal in-store checkout experience.

BH QuickCart, along with the company’s other retail click-and-collect solutions, will be on display in Bell and Howell’s booth at ShopTalk, March 18-21, 2018 in Las Vegas. Stop by booth 3017 to experience BH QuickCart, CleverBox by Cleveron and PackRobot, Walmart’s 16-foot-tall Pickup Tower.

SPRING HOPE, NC, March 15, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --  Hemp, Inc. (OTC PINK: HEMP), a global leader in the industrial hemp industry, with the largest multipurpose industrial hemp processing facility in the western hemisphere, applauds recent action taken by the Oregon Legislature that would further refine and expand the state’s industrial hemp program. The Senate unanimously approved House Bill 4089 on March 3, 2018 to classify hemp seed as an agricultural seed. The bill now goes to Gov. Kate Brown for signing.According to HB-4089, “agricultural hemp seed is agricultural seed or flower seed for purposes of statutes regulating labeling, testing, certifying or other aspects of seeds. Directs Director of Agriculture and Dean of College of Agricultural Sciences of Oregon State University to establish program for labeling and certification of agricultural hemp seed. Provides that accredited independent testing laboratory that has been approved by Oregon Health Authority or department may test industrial hemp and industrial hemp commodities and products produced or processed by grower, handler or agricultural hemp seed producer. Requires that industrial hemp intended for human consumption be entered into tracking system prior to laboratory testing and through delivery to licensed premises.” To read the full bill, click here.

“We are extremely encouraged by the recent developments in Oregon’s legislation. Our goal at Hemp, Inc. is to make America great again by making America hemp again.  There are more and more state-wide developments in support of an industry that can create profitable income streams for states, farmers, and landowners,” said Bruce Perlowin, CEO of Hemp, Inc.  Perlowin has been in communication with some of the largest hemp farmers in Oregon to discuss strategic business growth opportunities and provide insight on ways to optimize their existing business operations.

Set to grow up to 25,000 acres of industrial hemp in North Carolina, Hemp, Inc. is making North Carolina the “Epicenter of the Industrial Hemp Industry”. Hemp, Inc. representatives say the 25,000 acres, to be grown, are more than what the entire country grew last year alone. The large amount of acreage is expected to improve farmer profitability as well as boost the overall economy by opening up new revenue streams in the marketplace for buyers and farmers seeking higher quality products.  Hemp, Inc. will continue to support and network with industrial hemp farmers, farming co-ops and related public companies across the United States.

“As an industry leader with our 85,000 square feet, state-of-the-art hemp mill, and processing facility in North Carolina, it is important that we support hemp production in markets across the United States to further position us on the forefront of this emerging multi-million-dollar industry,” said Perlowin. “Having a boots-on-the-ground approach to hemp operations nationwide allows us to evaluate possible business synergies with not only industrial hemp farmers, but farming co-ops and public companies throughout America that are passionate about growing industrial hemp or eager to learn how to incorporate it into their crop rotation.”

The hemp industry is projected to grow 700% and hit $1.8 billion by 2020. This statistic includes the all-natural, non-psychoactive supplement cannabidiol (CBD) that is derived from the industrial hemp plant. Cannabidiol helps boost both human and animal endocannabinoid systems. The enormous growth potential of the CBD market will provide companies, in and entering, with a pipeline of opportunities they can take advantage of.

Hemp, Inc.’s long-term strategy is to build the world’s largest hemp oil extraction infrastructure by creating joint ventures with multiple companies to house and operate their CBD extraction equipment in its 85,000-square foot facility in Spring Hope, North Carolina. The first company of these joint ventures is HQ Global Education, Inc. (OTC: HQGE), a scientific research development company set to take advantage of these opportunities by using their extensive industry research and voluminous body of information on specific CBD combinations through their Educational and Extraction divisions.  Hemp, Inc. will provide consulting services to HQGE in an effort to help them expand into the hemp-CBD industry.  According to the agreement, mentioned in a previous press release, HQGE will receive professional, ongoing, consulting services in the hemp-CBD market, specifically in the areas of growing high-quality organically-grown CBD-rich hemp, harvesting, extracting and creating a variety of high-end CBD products for its business and partnerships in the industry. In turn, HQ Global Education, Inc. intends to become a leading provider of the highest-quality customizable extractions of CBD oil to this rapidly-growing industry.

In August 2017, Hemp, Inc. announced the official launch of its NuAxon Tech CO2 Supercritical Extractor. On Nov. 2, 2017, Hemp, Inc. announced the delivery of its advanced CBD hemp oil extraction post-processing equipment, thus completing the Company's hemp oil extraction infrastructure. The aforementioned consulting agreement with HQGE was announced March 13, 2018, which was the first step toward executing Hemp, Inc.’s long-term strategic plan to have a joint venture between the two companies wherein Hemp, Inc. will house and operate a HQ Global Education, Inc. CBD extractor.

As Hemp, Inc. provides consulting services in the hemp-CBD market, specifically in the areas of growing high-quality organically-grown CBD rich hemp, harvesting, and extracting, executives say they will ultimately build Veteran Village Kins Communities across the country so that they can extract right there at the local level.  “Our ‘Veteran Village Kins Communities’ is where we will not only grow some of our Hemp, it is a full-blown holistic solution to the multifaceted veteran problems in the USA. Our prototype model is in Arizona about 20 miles north of Kingman and 90 miles from Las Vegas, NV. It's our way of saying, ‘Thank You’ to our Veterans.”

Hemp, Inc. also announced its support of the advancement of hemp bills in Indiana and its support of the Alaska House of Representatives’ unanimous passage of a bill to legalize industrial hemp and establish a pilot program.

David Platten passes directorship of Dallas structural engineering practice to Vicki Ford

DALLAS (PRWEB) March 15, 2018

International engineering firm Walter P Moore announces that David A. Platten, P.E., Managing Director of the firm’s Dallas office, will retire on March 30, 2018. Vicki Ford, P.E., S.E. will assume the managing directorship and office leadership in his stead.

Senior Principal Dave Platten concludes his stellar 38-year career at Walter P Moore after serving as the Managing Director of Dallas Structural Engineering and the Dallas office leader for more than 25 years. Since 1980, David has helped establish and grow the firm’s presence in the DFW Metroplex, leading the structural engineering of many of Walter P Moore’s signature projects, including the firm’s first modern ballpark, Globe Life Park. He recently oversaw the design of the replacement for that venue for the Texas Rangers — Globe Life Field — which is now under construction. A sampling of other projects completed under his direction include American Airlines Center, the 60-story Comerica Bank Tower, AT&T Stadium (home of the Dallas Cowboys), Fort Worth’s Bass Hall, and Mosaic Stadium, which was awarded the top structure for 2018 by the Texas chapter of the American Council of Engineering Companies (ACEC). Additionally, Dave helped launch Walter P Moore’s Las Vegas office and was instrumental in developing the firm’s substantial portfolio of projects there.

In making the announcement, Walter P Moore CEO Dilip Choudhuri praised Platten for his contributions to the firm and to the design industry. “Dave has accomplished everything that any top structural engineer could hope to achieve. Perhaps most importantly, he leaves our Dallas office flourishing and in very capable hands.”

Principal Vicki Ford, a structural engineer at Walter P Moore since 1998, is transitioning as the new Managing Director of the firm’s Dallas office and structural engineering practice. A graduate of Clemson University, Vicki quickly excelled within the firm and the industry, earning Walter P Moore’s distinguished Javier F. Horvilleur Outstanding Young Engineer Award in 2005 and garnering a spot on Building Design & Construction’s ‘Top 40 Under 40’ in 2008. Vicki has led the firm’s efforts on a variety of important projects such as the new William P. Clements, Jr. University Hospital at UT Southwestern Medical Center, the Garland Special Events Center, the San Antonio Military Medical Center, and two prominent structures at the STAR Complex in Frisco — the Cowboys World Headquarters and the Omni Frisco Hotel. Her structural design of the Texas Center for Proton Therapy, a highly sophisticated and critical treatment center for cancer care in north Texas, achieved the highest honor for engineering excellence in the state — the Eminent Conceptor Award by ACEC-Texas — distinguishing it as Texas’s top project in 2017.

Said Choudhuri, “Vicki has established herself as an award-winning structural engineer, client champion, and talented leader. She will help us continue our growth and success in north Texas.”
