New Coin-Sized Device and Smartphone App Helps Users Track and Find Their Lost Wallets, Keys, Phones, and More

/in , /by


Santa Barbara, CA (PRWEB) May 13, 2013

Phone Halo’s newest creation, Button TrackR, is a coin-sized device that eliminates the common frustrations involved with losing or misplacing important items.

Button TrackR is only about the size of a few stacked quarters, it can be placed on or stuck to virtually anything users would like to keep track of – whether it’s a disappearing TV remote, keys, or a lost wallet. It is combined with a free, easy-to-use iPhone app, Item TrackR (http://appstore.com/itemtrackr), to create a time saving tool that aims to eliminate unnecessary stress in people’s every day lives.

How It Works:

Button TrackR is a coin-sized device that can be attached to or stuck to anything you want to keep track of. The device communicates to the user’s iPhone or Android, and if the user is about to leave an item behind, the Phone and Button TrackR device will audibly notify the user. At the same time, the app remembers the time and location the user separated from their item and shows the item’s location on a GPS map. The app can then guide the user to within five feet of this exact location using GPS and a short distance Hot & Cold finding system within the app. Users can also locate their lost items by causing the Button TrackR device to ring. The system is completely bidirectional which means if the user can’t find their phone (and the phone is on silent), the user can press a Button on the TrackR device and cause the phone to ring.

Button TrackR has a new feature called Crowd Sourced Tracking. If you lose an item, the Button TrackR will begin to broadcast a encrpyted unique ID that can be detected by the phone’s of other Button TrackR users. When another Button TrackR user walks within range of the lost item, a message is sent to the Phone Halo Cloud server which will then send a notification to the user with the updated GPS location of their lost item. This revolutionary technology allows users to track their lost items without the need for expensive GPS tracking devices and instead, using the power of crowd collaboration.

“We’ve been working on item finding and tracking devices for over 3 years. We’ve always wanted to create a solution that can help users find items after they’ve become lost. With Crowd Sourced Tracking, that is now a reality” says Chris Herbert, Co-Founder of Phone Halo. The Button TrackR has been aggressively priced at a single device for $ 25. Early customers can purchase a 10 pack for just $ 95, $ 9.50 a device, for a limited time.

The Button TrackR utilizes the latest technology called Bluetooth Smart or “Bluetooth Low Energy.” Unlike older Bluetooth devices, Bluetooth Smart uses a common coin cell battery that can last for 1 year. At launch, the Button TrackR will be compatible with the iPhone 4S/5, iPad 3/4, iPad Mini, New iPod Touch, Samsung Galaxy S3/S4, and Samsung Galaxy Note 2.







Medical Device Manufacturing Engineers Realizing Effectiveness of a New Plastics Fabrication Technology Announces Envision Plastics

/in , /by


White Bear Lake, MN (PRWEB) November 19, 2013

After looking at the wide array of products Envision Plastics custom manufactures, one can easily see that the NMR plastic fabrication technology reaches many markets and industries. However, the realm of medical device manufacturing stands out as a market who has embraced this niche product and service offering from Envision Plastics time and time again.

Customers from all over the United States and Canada have used the No Molds Required Technology for their custom plastic enclosure needs with respect to their medical device cases, frames, panels, or displays. Within the medical device industry, many specialty areas have implemented NMR produced items. These include: ultrasound, MR, wound therapy, pharmaceutical packaging, cardiovascular, and even dental. The medical device manufacturers in these areas are both small start-ups using venture capital funding as well as Fortune 500 firms including Boston Scientific, St. Jude Medical, Medtronic, and GE Medical Systems.

Despite typical production volumes being low (which fits the NMR niche market well), orders are consistent and often repeat. Not only do the specific part orders for enclosures repeat, but the technology is utilized again and again by developers at these medical device firms. Some firms have developed dozens of different plastic medical enclosures over the span of a decade – proving just how well NMR has been received in the medical industry. Sure, some medical device manufactures have large budgets for hard goods and R&D. However, saving up to $ 250,000 on a mold by using NMR Technology can make any project come in under budget!
