Copper thieves sent the Spaghetti Bowl into darkness a month ago, but work is underway to have the lights back on by the end of the year.

The replacement comes at an estimated cost of $300,000. The first cost of repairs was estimated at $70,000 for equipment and $70,000 for labor.

We now plan on having all 20 freeway light pole masts located near the downtown Las Vegas Spaghetti Bowl interchange corridor rewired by months end in time for New Years Eve, said Tony Illia, Nevada Department of Transportation spokesman. The increased figure is partly due to new security measures being installed in conjunction with the copper wire re-installation.

Illia declined to detail any of the new security devices so as not to inform possible thieves.

Law enforcement has made several arrests of suspected copper thieves since the outages occurred.

Thieves using power tools and other devices to speed their work stole enough wiring to knock out lighting several weeks ago, leaving only about 30 percent of the freeway lights illuminated along the Spaghetti Bowl corridor and creating a significant safety hazard for motorists.

As state crews worked to restore wiring and lighting, thieves struck again, delaying repairs that NDOT had hoped to be completed by Thanksgiving.

The price of copper has reached $3.29 per pound, up 55 percent from $2.13 per pound five years ago.

We are committed to Nevada motorists staying safe and connected, while undertaking the added theft deterrent measures, Illia said. Meanwhile, we advise motorist caution and attentiveness if traveling through the Spaghetti Bowl corridor at night.

Therapeutic Associates Inc., a physical, occupational and speech therapy business, received an $8.1 million loan under the federal Paycheck Protection Program, the most of any Kent company.

Novinium Inc., an underground power expert that partners with utility companies, obtained $5.3 million and Holmes Electric, an electrical contractor, received a $5.2 million loan, according to data released last week by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), complying with a federal court order as part of a lawsuit by the Washington Post and other media organizations to get specific information about the loans, part of the federal CARES Act to combat the economic impact of COVID-19.

The SBA released data in July that did not include specific amounts to each business. The loans do not require repayment if borrowers spend most of the funds to cover payroll. The SBA, in most cases, considers a small business as having 500 or fewer employees.

Therapeutic Associates, a physical therapy business whose administrative officers are in Kent, did not report the number of jobs retained. Holmes Electric also didnt list the number of its employees. Novinium reported the loan would help it retain 267 employees.

Following is a list, by amount received, of Kent businesses that received at least $1 million, with the type of business and the number of employees. Several businesses did not list their number of employees. Many other Kent businesses received amount less than $1 million.

Kent physical therapy company received $8.1 million from SBA... - Kent Reporter

Wednesday, December 9, 2020 - by Mitch Talley, Whitfield County Director of Communications

The old saying that you cant always judge a book by its cover will definitely apply to the Whitfield County Courthouse after extensive renovations inside the original 60-year-old portion of the structure are finished late next year.

Every wall of the building will be coming out, down to the concrete frame, County Engineer Kent Benson said, and then itll be rebuilt to a different floor plan. Basically itll be a whole new building; were just reusing the frame.

Sandwiched between the special U.S. Senate election in January and the city election in November, with full funding provided by the four-year, special purpose local option sales tax that voters approved in June, Whitfield County plans to start and finish all the work inside that part of the courthouse built in 1961.

That original building is a three-story, 48,000-square-foot concrete framed structure, Mr. Benson said, meaning its got concrete columns and concrete beams set in place with concrete floor decks and a concrete roof deck that all serve as the structural part of the building. None of the interior walls carry any load, he said, so we can totally demolish or remove all of the interior walls without affecting any structural integrity of the building.

When the new portion of the courthouse was added in 2006, the exterior walls of the 1961 portion were left in place, but hidden behind a brick faade to match the new construction.

If you go into that old part of the building and look at the exterior windows, youll see the window sills are very deep, Mr. Benson said. That shows how big the cavity between these two walls is, about three feet. Its uninsulated space so you get condensation in there and with the roof leaks and other moisture that also get into that space, theres never any air change-over so it just promotes mold growth.Usable space will growThe project, which is being designed by Carter Watkins Associates, will include the removal of those original exterior walls, and the floors will then be extended out three feet, actually increasing the amount of usable interior square footage.

That space was previously uninsulated and not part of the HVAC system and will be converted to heated interior space, Mr. Benson said, so youll end up with the current exterior brick wall, new insulation, and new interior wall but no three-foot cavity in there. That will eliminate the mold problem.

The HVAC system, along with all the wiring and plumbing, will be replaced. Its 60 years old and still has the original wiring and plumbing, Mr. Benson said. The AC main unit has been replaced over the years, but that type of system is conducive to mold growth inside the ductwork, especially for a building that has one floor underground.

The new HVAC system which will be more energy efficient and will cost less to operate is a multi-split system with zones that uses smaller equipment and does not have interior supply ductwork. Instead, a square cartridge in the center of the ceiling of each room will supply the heating and cooling, and another separate fresh air duct that doesnt promote the growth of mold will be employed. A drain line for condensation removes water created by the system, and if a line does stop up, it shuts off automatically and sends a notice that service is required so you dont have leaks from a condensate pan overflowing like you would with a conventional system, Mr. Benson said.

Getting ready for those interior renovations to the 1961 building, the county used capital funds of $1.25 million earlier this year to replace its roof and install new, more efficient windows on the original clear story portion that rises above the flat roof.Clearly an improvementIn 2006, when the courthouse was expanded to the north, the architect had suggested using a screen wall around the clear story in an attempt to hide it and better match the look of the new part. Unfortunately, that screen required the use of a steel frame that had to be secured to the roof with dozens of bolts.

Everywhere they put a bolt in, it was a penetration through the roof, Mr. Benson said. They have tried many, many things over the years to try to seal those holes up, but over time, whatever you use to seal it, it eventually gets dry and cracks and water winds up getting into the building. There was a problem with leaks from the beginning, and its gotten worse over time.

Crews finally were able to eliminate that problem for good earlier this year, however, by totally removing the screen, then installing a thicker-than-standard rubber polymer membrane roof system with a 30-year warranty.

The clear story itself, located over the main courtroom, also created problems over the years, Mr. Benson said.

For years, its original uninsulated single-pane windows were a heating and cooling nightmare, depending on the season, and if their non-tempered glass panels had ever been broken, they would have fallen in large sheets into the courtroom, possibly resulting in a very dangerous situation, according to Mr. Benson. The windows also caused a glare in the courtroom below, and blinds installed to try to block the sun had long ago served their useful life, he said.

The new windows are high performance, double-pane, low energy transfer, Mr. Benson said, Meaning you get a lot of heat on the window from the sun beating down on it, but it doesnt transmit that heat to the inside of the room, plus the coating they have on them cuts the glare of the sun without having to have blinds on there.

Mr. Benson expects better temperature control in the courtroom thanks to installation of the new windows as well as rigid insulation panels underneath the new roof membrane, along with the new more efficient HVAC system, when its installed next year.Strictly a judicial courthouseThe renovations will allow the county commissioners to meet their goal of using the courthouse strictly for judicial functions. That means over the next few months, several departments will be relocating.

The Public Defenders Office, for example, will move from the Wells Fargo building to the ground floor of the 1961 portion of the courthouse. The Board of Elections and Registrar recently moved into renovated space formerly occupied by the Vending Area on the middle floor of the new courthouse, with voting machines to be stored next door in space to be renovated in the old part of the building. Thats one reason why work wont be able to start on the renovations until after the Jan. 5 special election is certified, and why work has to be completed before the citys election in November.

The middle floor will also include part of the district attorneys office, specifically the Victim/Witness Assistance Program, as well as additional space undesignated for now but likely to be used eventually for judicial functions.

The top floor will continue to be the main courtroom, which will see new lighting, wiring, and HVAC installed but will retain its current furnishings. Behind that, youve got judges offices and mediation rooms and things like that, Mr. Benson said, and all of that will be renovated. The jury assembly room will get a renovation, but it will end up looking exactly like it does theyre happy with how the room is now. It just needs the same as the others new electrical, new HVAC and all, but we wont remodel that room.

As a result of the renovations, the tax commissioners office will move from the courthouse to a new location at 1013 Riverburch Pkwy. just off the North Bypass in mid-January, and the tax assessors office is relocating to the Staten Building across from Dalton City Hall.Project will also increase securityThe project will also include construction of a second sallyport aimed at increasing security in the courthouse.

The new part of the courthouse already includes a sallyport, a secure elevator, and a secure hallway to get inmates to each courtroom without coming in contact with a judge or a jury or the public, but thats not the case in the old part, according to Mr. Benson.

So if they were to bring somebody and needed a secure way to get them to the main courtroom, theres not one, he said. They would just have to bring them in the sallyport in the new courthouse, and then there would be a distance they would have to transport that person where they could come in contact. Of course, there would always be an escort by law enforcement, but they could still come in contact with somebody.

So this project will construct another sallyport in the old part of the courthouse where police cars can pull in, have the door close behind the car, enter a secure elevator that will go from the ground floor up to the top floor where the main courtroom is and then a secure hallway to get that inmate into the courtroom without coming in contact with a judge or the jury or the public, so thats a pretty big upgrade.

The county will open bids on the project on Dec. 11. The contractor chosen will then have to get their bonds and weve got to get the contracts executed, Mr. Benson said, so by the end of the year, we want the contracts executed and everything ready to go so that they can be ordering materials and getting ready to work on Jan. 20. In the meantime, weve got to get the tax commissioner and tax assessor moved out. Were also working on a temporary location for the Victim/Witness program while their office is being renovated.

Mr. Benson says the entire old portion of the courthouse will have to be empty by the time construction starts late next month, and he believes the work should be completed by mid-October.

We hope to start on or about Jan. 20, and weve got to be done by Oct. 1 because theres a city election in November next year and theyll have early voting in October, he said, so weve got to be done (with the elections storage room) by Oct. 1 to get those machines back over there in time for the election. There could still be some small items to be done on the top floor or the ground floor after that, but weve got to have the middle floor where the elections equipment goes totally finished and ready to be occupied by Oct. 1.

Visual PressSupport supports communication for remote maintenance

Like all other globally active companies, Koenig & Bauer is particularly affected by the current restrictions on travel. In this situation, data-driven services are helping to prepare machines for production and resolve service cases to the satisfaction of the users. The basis for this capability is a remote maintenance function which has been guaranteeing the high availability of Rapida sheetfed offset press on markets around the world since 1995. Where communication is conducted exclusively by telephone, however, there is a risk that only limited assistance can be provided or that the full scope of the issue cannot be conveyed when dealing with complex mechanical specifications or process-related issues.

That is precisely the point at which Visual PressSupport comes into play. This digital tool enables forms of information sharing with added value and greatly simplifies communication for users and hotline technicians alike. The hotline technician sees exactly what the operator or service partner at the press can see. He can observe relevant processes and functions as moving images, and thus obtains a faster and more comprehensive overview of the situation in the press room. That eliminates the need for lengthy descriptions and reduces the risk of misunderstandings compared to a simple telephone call.

Koenig & Bauer Campus: Trainers and experts from Koenig & Bauer convey specialist knowledge in a small studio also on the installation of UV dryers.

Remote function checks and commissioning

This is how it functions in practice: When a new press is being set up, the installation of the UV dryers must be entrusted to specialists. Due to the current restrictions, however, they were unable to travel to the site. And yet commissioning was still possible thanks to Visual PressSupport.

First of all, online training was organised for the local service technicians. This was provided through the Koenig & Bauer Campus, the press manufacturers training centre. The training course showed and explained the critical aspects of dryer installation and commissioning and the technicians received specific instructions for working on high-voltage equipment with voltages up to 4 kV.

Subsequently, press assembly was completed and the dryers were installed. Before the press was started up for the first time, a dryer specialist from Koenig & Bauer was shown all the important points. This included the wiring of all electrical connections, the cable routing and the water cooling connections. The factory specialist was able to view the components via Visual PressSupport as still images or videos, and could guide the colleagues on site to those elements which required a closer check or further adjustments, for example by highlighting details on a drawing or screenshot. Communication was not limited to just speech, but also included live images and written comments. Checklists were tackled step by step in the same manner. Everyone was on the same page at all times, and gapless function checks were possible. The press and its dryers could be taken into production safely.

Diversity of applications

There are many other ways in which Visual PressSupport is able to help. Printing process-related issues or mechanical problems can now also be solved remotely. The user of a large-format perfector press, for example, reported creasing of the sheet in the perfecting unit. Design engineers asked to be shown the sheets in question and certain mechanical elements via Visual PressSupport, and were able to determine an incorrect gripper setting. After correction, the press produced flawlessly once more.

In another case, coating plate changes were not functioning properly. A visual check of the coating plate revealed that the wrong plate type was set on the console. Once the setting was changed, plate changing was back to normal.

Visual PressSupport has established itself as a proven tool when providing service for sheetfed offset presses. Beside Koenig & Bauer Sheetfed, it is also used elsewhere in the company group for example with presses and equipment from the business units Digital & Webfed, Coding and MetalPrint.

FM broadcast is a device that transmitsbroadcasts by wireless transmission. It has the characteristics of no vertical poles for wiring, wide coverage, unlimited capacity expansion, and convenient installation and maintenance. It solves the problems of traditional cable broadcasting wiring difficulties, complicated installation, and poor scalability. For the current large-scale and wide-area schools, FM broadcasting has the superiority that traditional cable broadcasting cannot match.

Application principle

The audio signal collected by the system is modulated to a high-frequency signal of a certain frequency and radiated into the air. The receiving end receives the high-frequency electric wave containing the audio signal. Through frequency selection and amplification, the audio signal is detected by the detection circuit, and then passed Positive, the power is amplified and restored to the original audio signal. This process is thewireless broadcasting system.

Application field

Inorder to allow students to practice English listening, some campuses have installed small FM transmitters, and each student is equipped with wireless monitoring equipment. High-power FM radio speakers can also be installed on campus. Some factories and mines have adoptedmulti-pointautomatic reception transmissionin order to transmit instructions in time.

So, when they enter the front gate of Pyramid Hill, they leave Ohio, and by the time they get to the end of the journey, they are at the North Pole, FitzGibbons said.

From the very beginning, they will be envisioning this story through to the North Pole. As you go through each section of the park, a new part of the journey will unfold."

Visitors will see more than five different art installations, created by local and regional artists, along with an expansive, curated display of lights. Guests will also experience a Journey Borealis soundtrack by Cincinnati Chamber Orchestra and Cincinnati Boychoir as they drive through the display. Arranged by Daniel Nail, the soundtrack will feature arrangements of holiday music.

Its a journey. Youre going to the North Pole, and its a light-based art installation, and we thought Journey Borealis was perfect to describe what the art drive is and what to expect, northern lights, FitzGibbons said.

As far as other highlights on the journey, guests will go through a Crystal Palace during one segment of the drive.

Current volunteer opportunities at Pyramid Hill will also allow community members to be a part of Journey Borealis. Community members are invited to volunteer at Pyramid Hill every Monday through Nov. 16, and they will assist with installation projects throughout the park. Volunteer projects will include creating innovative lighting effects, installing lights in trees and bushes, building structures, wiring lights, and more.

Opening Pyramid Hill and Journey Borealis up to the community through our volunteer program is an important step in aligning our programming with our mission of Bringing People to Art in Nature. It also provides a shared creative experience, FitzGibbons said.

Additionally, Pyramid Hill is accepting donations of materials. New materials are preferred, but donations can also come from personal Christmas collections of working items. Donations can include single-color strands of lights of any length, colored lights of any length, and construction materials such as plywood sheets and lumber. For additional information about volunteering or donating materials, contact Sarah Rodriguez, project coordinator, at srodriguez@pyramidhill.org.

(Pocket-lint) - Though smart lights can be controlled through voice, and regular lights work just fine with switches, sometimes you want the best of both worlds. That's where smart light switches and dimmers come in, with their capabilities extending far past a normal wired-in switch - all while remaining simple enough for the whole family to use.

Like everything else in the smart home, however, there are a few things to understand before you buy.

Most top smart switches will offer compatibility with Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant, but installation methods vary. Some will just require an adhesive tab, but others will need some wiring - so, make sure the screwdriver is handy. For an easy reference, wall-installed options tend to act as a tool to give you smart control over regular lights, while remote-style switches you stick to the wall often aim to give you more control over already-installed smart lights.

If you're ready to take that lighting setup to the next level, we've detailed some of the top options to help you decide.

squirrel_widget_3492002

There are plenty of great smart home devices under TP Link's Kasa line, but one of the best is the company's Smart Light Switch.

As far as installation goes, it's one of the most straightforward methods that doesn't just, you know, involve sticking an adhesive to the wall. The Kasa app will guide you through each step, but all you really need to do is find the neutral wire behind your regular switch and configure it from there.

There's no hub required, as well, with the switch essentially giving you the ability to turn your regular lights smart. That means you can control them from the app or by using your voice and even set schedules for them.

squirrel_widget_3492021

Belkin's Wemo smart alternative works similarly to other replacements for regular switches, working with Alexa and Google Assistant to give you ample control.

You'll require a single-pole connection and a neutral wire, with the switch not compatible with three-way systems, but once you're set up you'll be able to control the lights and schedule using your voice or the app.

It is a little on the pricey side when compared to similar options, but it's a super reliable and easy system to set up.

squirrel_widget_3492022

Gosund offers up another take on the classic style on smart switches, upgrading your regular fittings into more functioning members of the house.

You get all the typical features once you have set things up, which means scheduling, voice control (through Alexa or Google Assistant), app control and more are at your disposal.

Like other fittings of this type, just be aware that it won't work with three-pole connections, just single-pole. They'll also require a neutral wire to get set up.

squirrel_widget_3492059

If you want to install plenty of smart switches around your home, it can start to get costly.

With Treatlife's four-pack, though, you get to graduate from regular switches and still have enough money to actually pay your mortgage.

It's the same single-pole, neutral wire setup as other switches, with the device itself opening up a world of scheduling, automation through Alexa or Google Assistant, manual app control and more.

squirrel_widget_3625639

Philips serves up a different kind of smart switch with its Wireless Dimmer Switch, which essentially exists to give users another way of controlling their Hue-compatible lights.

Instead of requiring installation to replace your existing switch, the remote is designed to be placed beside it with an adhesive strip. You will require a Hue Hub, but, if you have one, this is a painless way to back up the app and voice control with something manual.

On the switch itself, you're able to dim and brighten the lights you've set up to work with the remote, as well as turn them off and on.

squirrel_widget_3625640

Unlike many other options, which only work with single-pole connections, Meross allows you to replace your regular fitting with this two-way smart switch.

The device is compatible with both Alexa and Google Assistant, letting you take advantage of voice control for your lights, as well as app controls.

Just be aware that your switch wiring will require at least one neutral blue wire for installation, something that a lot of old houses don't feature.

squirrel_widget_3625677

Like Philips' Dimmer Switch, the Tap is a stick-to-the-wall type of smart switch that affords greater manual control of your Hue lights.

The four buttons allow you to jump between different, customizable scenes, with the unit itself cleverly powered by kinetic touch. That means there's no need for batteries - you can simply stick the mount to the wall or use it as a remote and it'll remain useable.

It's less of an essential switch than the Hue Dimmer, but it's a really handy way to change the mood with, well, just a simple tap.

squirrel_widget_3625696

Sonoff's touch-enabled smart switch is a beauty, providing you with one of the neatest and most affordable ways to add more functionality over your regular light switch.

The device is compatible with Alexa and Google Assistant, with this backed up by app control and the ability to create scheduling routines and light scenes.

Just note that the installation will require a neutral wire, and the switch itself will only work with one-way connections (though Sonoff does offer two-way and three-way options, too).

Former Vice President Joe Biden put his foot squarely in his mouth during the debate last week when talking about energy policy.

Many pundits thought Biden would make that kind of gaffe in the first debate but President Donald Trumps frequent interruptions ensured that would not happen. However, during the second and final presidential debate, Biden made a mistake when he declared that America needed to transition from oil and gas to green energy.

The energy (fossil fuel) industry is one of the largest in our country according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. In 2019, 81 percent of our energy consumption was tied to petroleum, natural gas and coal, leading to 1,122,764 jobs and generating $181 billion in total revenue.

Furthermore, for the first time since 1957, America produced more energy than we consumed last year. Interestingly, while energy production grew by 5.7 percent in 2019, energy consumption actually decreased by 0.9 percent. While natural gas continues to top energy production, followed by crude oil, coal, nuclear power and natural gas plant liquids in descending order for a total of 89 percent of production sources, the other 11 percent is comprised of biomass, wind, hydropower and other sources, including solar.

It is more than fair to assume that any so-called transformation from fossil fuel to green energy would have major disruptive consequences for our national economy. Luckily, we have a state that has been experimenting with this transformation for some time now in California, where rolling blackouts are a common experience because reliance on green energy is intermittent and isnt capable of matching demand to supply in an efficient manner.

Between 2011 and 2017, Californias electricity prices rose five times faster than they did nationally, Environmental Progress noted. Today, Californians pay 60 percent more, on average, than the rest of the nation, for residential, commercial and industrial electricity. This is not a model that the rest of the country should follow.

This is Californication with few concepts from the Golden State worthy of replication. Not only are electricity costs in California over the top, gasoline prices are also the highest in the nation. This is because the California Progressives continue to push the absurd principles of carbon neutrality which includes high gasoline taxes, higher than national standards requirement for gas mileage and, just recently, the outlawing of gasoline vehicles by 2035!

What Californians are now experiencing is what the rest of our country will endure if we allow Far Left politicians to implement the New Green Deal (NGD) advocated by U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-NY, and U.S. Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass.

What I did not know until recently is that the NGD is not just about mitigating climate change, it is also about economic inequality. Forgetting economic inequality a moment, combating climate change is wishful dreaming because Communist China, India and Russia, all of which still rely on extensive use of coal-fired plants, still spew out toxic chemicals and haze which cannot simply be limited to within their national borders. As volcanic eruptions can show, the wind does not respect national boundaries. The unilaterally expensive remediation called for by AOC, the Bernie Bros and U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., to be imposed on American industry will never guarantee carbon decline in our air or a substantial difference in climate change.

Even an international treaty the Paris Accord which thankfully Trump withdrew the U.S. from, was unenforceable and had loopholes large enough for a wind turbine to slip through. Had America tried to live up to the Paris Accord, industries across the nation would be hindered with expensive regulatory costs which would make the U.S. uncompetitive.

Clean energy is not really clean though it is, admittedly, cleaner. To manufacture wind turbine blades, toxic chemicals must be used and then carefully disposed of since they are, at this time, still extremely hard to recycle. A turbine tower on average is around 280 feet high (about the same height as a 28-story building). These towers are noisy, ugly and kill somewhere between 328,000 to 573,000 birds indiscriminately every year.

Solar has its own unique set of problems including the currently high initial costs (solar panels, inverter, batteries, wiring and installation); being weather-dependent; solar energy storage being so expensive that some experts say it makes more sense to use it during the day and switching back to fossil fuels during the night; the amount of acreage needed for a solar farm; pollution from the transportation and installation of the panels; and, just like wind turbines, the manufacture of photovoltaic systems requires toxic materials and hazardous gasses.

Meanwhile, fracking has become an anchor around Bidens neck since he does not seem to know whether he is for it or against it. But, his running mate, U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., was an early co-sponsor of banning fracking in the U.S. Senate. With avid support from AOC and a host of others, the future of fracking is in doubt if Biden gets elected. Though fracking has been around since 1947, as recently as 2015, there were around 300,000 hydraulically fractured wells. Today, there are more than 1.7 million wells producing more than 7 million barrels of oil and 600 trillion cubic feet of natural gas. Fracking also directly employs around 636,000 people.

Without petroleum, we would all be screwed as more than 144 everyday products are made from its derivatives, including tires, boats, antiseptics, shoes, deodorant, paint, shampoo, aspirin, eyeglasses and detergents, to name just a few.

America can not afford to be Californicated energy-wise and the NGD would only exacerbate energy costs and issues. Americans expect to be able to walk into any room, flip a switch and have the lights come on. Neither industry nor consumers will be satisfied to pay higher energy costs offset with less dependability and sustainability. Furthermore, our national security is dependent on fossil fuels since the U.S. military is the largest consumer of energy.

Transforming from fossil fuels to green energy and a ban on fracking will lead to the Californication of America. Think twice before you vote for Joe Biden.

Remote visual assistance vendor TechSee has closed out a $30 million Series C round that brought its total investment to $54 million. The round was co-led by OurCrowd, Salesforce Ventures, and Telus Ventures with participation from Scale Venture Partners and Planven Entrepreneur Ventures.

TechSee plans to use the new funding to enter new markets and verticals while also expanding its product offerings and capabilities.

Founded in 2015, Tel Aviv-based TechSee has made its mark during the Covid-19 pandemic by enabling technicians from companies such as Vodafone and Verizon to turn up customers' services remotely without entering their homes. TechSee is also used by contact centers to reduce the number of calls and improve the productivity of support agents

TechSee had driven its solutions into the realm of augmented reality and artificial intelligence (AI) to help solve issues remotely and quickly. Unlike some remote virtual assistants, TechSee doesnt require the customer to download an application to their smartphone or tablet.

TechSees AI platform can automatically identify components, ports, cables, LED indicators, and more to detect issues and suggest resolutions for consumers, contact center agents, and field technicians. TechSee is a cloud-based solution that runs on Amazon Web Services. Since there are no downloads or sign-ins, the service can be up and running in days.

With TechSee, a telco customer agent can send an SMS to the broadband subscriber that is experiencing a broadband issue. The subscribers click on the link that turns on their smartphone cameras to show the agent a broadband router our set-top box. TechSee supports Android and IoS devices, and also works on tablets.

Currently, there are more than 50 companies, including Logmein, Teamviewer, and Help Lightning, that provide remote visual support for installations, but they don't use computer vision AI.

In addition to keeping techs and customers safe during the shelter-at-home mandates from Covid-19, TechSee can also reduce costly truck rolls for operators by solving installation or service issues remotely.

"TechSees technology reflects a material leap forward in delivering great experiences and support to consumers," said Rich Osborn, managing partner, Telus Ventures. "Covid-19 has also accelerated the path to adoption through very clear use cases, and the transition from traditional means of servicing customers is primed for an evolution. The majority of consumers have powerful mobile computing devices that can enable a wide variety of virtual and augmented reality applicationsfrom solving simple technical issues or unboxing and installing new devices, to activating and bringing user guides into real life.

"Telus Ventures was impressed with TechSees strong traction in enabling telecommunications client service through unique and differentiated technology, and its ability to innovate and deliver new capabilities during the COVID-19 crises."

TechSee's roadmap

TechSee's use of AI and augmented reality, along with the new funding round, is opening doors into new use cases and products. Autonomous assistance for technicians will allow telecom and cable technicians in the field to point their smartphone or tablet at a device, its components, wiring, LEDs, ports and cables to get troubleshooting guidance. It will also include auto-job verification such as providing feedback if the fibers are configured incorrectly.

TechSee is also working on visual self-service, which will allow consumers to self-install and troubleshoot issues in self-servicesuch as router installationby pointing their smartphone camera at the device. Currently, the TechSee technology still requires an agent on the other end to speak with the customer to identify issues and troubleshoot.

With automated visual self-service, no agent will be needed because the computer vision AI can work with the customer directly to pinpoint problems and identify solutions. It can also diagram solutions using an AR overlay right on the consumer's tablet or phone screen. It's also fully automated, which means businesses can save time, money and resources by deflecting callers to the self-service portal.

TechSee, which currently has 60 employees, but expects to have 100 by year's end, has also seen some additional use cases crop up this year. One new use case includes "bill and invoice explanation" where an agent can visually guide customers through their bill or total automated self-service. TechSee's computer vision AI can identify the components and line items of a bill and help explain them to the customer.

App navigation has also proved to be an interesting use case for TechSee. Some telecom customers are finding TechSee's solution valuable when it comes to learning how to use their provider's mobile applications.

TechSee is also seeing its customers use its technology for on-site support when a technician is having difficulty solving a problem. In that use case, technicians contact an expert, such as an engineer, back at the office to help them fix problems without having to dispatch to the site.

"We believe there is significant potential to expand TechSees relationship with telcos globally by growing its offerings with existing customers and continuing to deliver value-added services to become a leading visual assistance company that can enable organizations like Telus to enhance its customer service and support," said Osborn.
