Pokémon TCG Live Delayed Until 2022

Leave a comment

Pokémon’s trading card game is arguably one of the most popular trading card games that has made its mark both physically and digitally. The franchise is probably only second to Magic the Gathering at this point. For the longest time, the online experience for the Pokémon trading card game has been sorely lacking. However, that was supposed to change with the release of Pokémon TCG Live later this year but it looks like we’re going to have to wait a little longer.

TCG Live desktop EN 01

The Pokémon Company has announced via its PokémonTCG Twitter that the new, improved Live app will be delayed into 2022. The Pokémon TCG Live app was meant to have an initial rollout in Canada with a global beta for the desktop app sometime this year, however, it looks like there may be some development setbacks. In its tweet, the Pokémon Company states that it’s looking to provide a more polished experience for “trainers”. A new date or time frame for the soft launch and beta have not been announced just yet.

That said, Trainers have begun getting code cards with Pokémon TCG Live branding on them as part of their booster and starter packs. The Pokémon Company also announced in a subsequent tweet that these codes are useable with the current Pokémon Trading Card Game Online app. If you’re worried about carrying these cards over to the new TCG Live app, The Pokémon Company announced that all cards from the HeartGold & SoulSilver series onwards will be ported over with your profile when you eventually migrate to the new TCG Live app.

Leave a comment

Leader in cold-chain logistics standardises on visual process mapping software from Nintex to drive operational efficiencies across its organisation

SYDNEY, Nov. 8, 2021 — Nintex, the global standard for process management and automation, announced today that Scott’s Refrigerated Logistics, Australia’s largest fully-integrated cold-chain logistics provider and the market leader in temperature controlled road and rail transport, has standardised on Nintex Promapp® to deliver business process consistency across the company’s seven divisions.

  • To experience how organisations have gained total visibility and control over their business processes with Nintex Promapp®, visit https://bit.ly/3gFqtQX.

Scott’s Refrigerated Logistics provides services to a diversified and blue-chip customer base comprised of food and beverage producers and leading supermarkets. These valued customers are serviced from 24 cold storage facilities across all Australian mainland states with a transport fleet of approximately 600 trucks and 450 rail containers. The company has around 2,000 employees and more than 1,000 customers.

"Ultimately, we want to ensure that we are aligned around one consistent process across all business activities to support visibility between different divisions, reduce manual and paper-based processes, and drive staff accountability," said Craig Lee, Business Process Manager, Scott’s Refrigerated Logistics. "Nintex will support us in this quest, equipping the business with capabilities to deliver process excellence across all the divisions and states we operate in helping enhance our customer-focused culture, ensuring that integrity and customer service remain the cornerstone of our success."

Rapid results and improvements

Scott’s Refrigerated Logistics was recently acquired by Anchorage Capital Partners and consulted Affinity Education Group—also previously acquired by Anchorage Capital Partners—to learn how Affinity successfully implemented Nintex Process Platform process management capabilities to create consistent processes and support compliance requirements across their network of 150 childcare centres nationwide.

Scott’s Refrigerated Logistics decided to invest in the Nintex Process Platform to develop an intuitive, visible and easy-to-use framework of processes that support complex compliance requirements and the ongoing digitising of legacy, paper-based processes, along with built-in automation functionality to update processes in real-time.

Lee explained, "We could clearly see the benefits of Nintex within Affinity Education Group and concluded that we could also transform our business by leveraging the process management and automation capabilities of Nintex. This will help support centrally-held processes which can be updated and shared with all key stakeholders, provide for one source of truth, as well as drive greater compliance and accountability across business divisions as diverse as human resources, commercial and fleet management."

In line with Scott’s Refrigerated Logistics’ commitment to continuous improvement and constantly evolving in response to market conditions and individual customers’ demands, the organisation has identified more than 100 processes which will now be standardised on Nintex across seven functions. Deployment has already commenced with Nintex supporting new processes being developed across customer service, pick-up and delivery, and time management. Standardisation on Nintex will enable rapid changes and improvements to everything from delivery docket procedures to incident management and customer experience.

"Managers working with these new processes will enjoy the benefits of having one centralised, searchable source of truth where changes update automatically. By embracing new technologies such as Nintex, Scott’s Refrigerated Logistics will maintain our market leading position and refrigerated logistic provider of choice across Australia," concluded Lee.

Jointly organized by China Eastern Air Holding Company Limited and Shanghai Airport Authority, this event was a parallel forum of the North Bund Forum.

Officials from related government agencies such as the National Development and Reform Commission, the Civil Aviation Administration of China and the Shanghai Municipal Government, as well as about 150 guests from domestic and foreign civil aviation enterprises, industry associations, and colleges attended the forum.

They discussed the new model of sustainable development and international cooperation in the industry around issues such as carbon emission reduction in civil aviation and construction of world-class aviation hubs, and released a number of major achievements and important initiatives in the industry.

Shanghai will adhere to building a world-class aviation hub with leading quality, accelerate the improvement of airport ground facilities, and enhance the coverage and accessibility of airline network.

"The city will improve the legal system for green development and accelerate the green development of the aviation industry, while joint efforts will be made to promote coordination of the world-class airport group in the Yangtze River Delta in terms of functional positioning, planning and construction, operation management and ground transportation," Zhang added.

Willie Walsh, director general of IATA, said that to give an indication of the scale of the pandemic disruption, losses of the airline industry were significantly reduced in 2021. With a 20 per cent share of the global commercial aviation market, China’s domestic market is increasingly important. At present, IATA is actively dealing with the impact of the epidemic, and the industry remains confident about the future.

With the new mode of digital transformation and intelligent upgrade, China Eastern will accelerate the building of smart aviation, inclusive aviation and airport cities. A new aviation economic ecology will take shape by developing "aviation + tourism", "aviation + finance", "aviation + exhibition" and the integration of aviation with other services.

Qin Yun, chairman of Shanghai Airport Authority, said the company will strengthen cooperation with airports and airlines around the world to build a green and ecological airport and a digital airport.

During the session of topic sharing, Li Yangmin, general manager of China Eastern Air Holding Company Limited, made a special sharing on the situation of aviation hubs in world-class cities, the development process of hubs and serving Shanghai’s development into a world-class city. More than 10 guests delivered keynote speeches on cooperation and win-win of international civil aviation in the field of carbon emission reduction during the pandemic and construction and upgrading of world-class aviation hubs.

In the dialogue session, the speakers focused on the opportunities and challenges of reshaping the global industrial chain and supply chain, and discussed the development ideas from the perspectives of logistics industry development, aviation logistics, airport cargo terminal business and supply chain solutions.

At this forum, senior executives of 20 enterprises in the aviation sector released an initiative on global aviation industry carbon reduction cooperation via video.

The North Bund International Aviation Forum will be held in Shanghai every year as a parallel forum of the North Bund Forum, which will help the latter to become the "Davos" of the international shipping industry, better promote the Chinese shipping brands to the world and share Shanghai’s perspectives. China Eastern will also host the 78th IATA Annual General Meeting (AGM) and the World Air Transport Summit in Shanghai in June 2022.

What is USLAM?

After five years of technological development, UBTECH Robotics possesses a variety of proprietary core techs in the field of humanoid robots, including the multi-source sensor SLAM system, lightweight semantic real-time map reconstruction, scenario-based autonomous perception and comprehension, navigation planning, and decision control. Based on these achievements, UBTECH Robotics has independently developed USLAM (autonomous positioning and navigation system), which integrates the functions of Localization, Mapping, Navigation and Perception. USLAM not only enables a plug-and-play system for multiple sensors, it also makes positioning and navigation more Efficient, Accurate and Stable.

What is USLAM Air 5.0TM?

USLAM Air 5.0TM is derived from USLAM which has been validated and optimized through application in the field of humanoid robots for 5 years. By supporting Cloud-Based Intelligent Service Robot Cruzr in 2017, Autonomous Indoor Monitoring Robot AIMBOT in 2019, UV-C Disinfection Robot ADIBOT in 2020, and Intelligent Humanoid Service Robot Walker in 2021, UBTECH Robotics’ powerful USLAM system, has promoted the development of positioning and navigation technology and the implementation of a wider range of applications in the robotic industry.

Core Technologies

  • Combined laser and visual navigation for large-scene high-quality mapping
  • Multi-sensors take account of strong robustness and high accuracy
  • Dynamic and timely path-planning and 3D all-round autonomous obstacle avoidance

UBTECH Robotics empowers AIRROBO by applying the systematic integration of autonomous positioning and navigation technology to smart home appliances like robovacs. Therefore, USLAM Air 5.0TM was derived from USLAM. "Air" indicates and symbolizes the lightweight semantic algorithm, which can be interpreted as less requirements on the hardware, due to a more delicate algorithm. "Air" also represents the brand identity of AIRROBO. In practical application, USLAM Air 5.0TM enables high-quality mapping in large or small living space, multi-sensor millimeter-level high-precision positioning, dynamic path planning and 3D all-around autonomous obstacle avoidance. In view of the above, AIRROBO robovacs "think, understand and respond"* better in terms of mapping, navigation, planning, perception, positioning, cleaning, safety and user experience. (LiDAR technology is a sensing method that uses light in the form of a pulsed laser to measure ranges for better navigation only, protecting users privacy.)

"In recent years, as the pursuit of high standard of living has increased, robot vacuum cleaners in China and the global market have been iteratively upgrading to meet the trend of an aging population, increased pet ownership, and younger residential owners. With smart appliances entering millions of households, different sizes of living space and complex indoor environment have become a challenge for the smart home industry," said Tommy Zhang, general manager of AIRROBO.

Over the years, UBTECH Robotics has put robots into use in many fields, among which, USLAM has processed more than 100,000 kilometers of course data* for accurate navigation in large scenarios. The total area of USLAM’s autonomous map construction has exceeded one million square meters*. The positioning accuracy of USLAM has reached centimeter level as well as control accuracy at 1 millimeter level*. USLAM recognizes over a thousand target identifications*, and has supported the real-time construction of object-level semantic maps.
