Australian Company Designs Cutting-edge E-commerce For Selling Ductwork Components Online

What’s so out of the ordinary when it comes to developing an on-line shopping cart for selling ducting parts on the internet? Anybody that works with ducting components will let you know, it’s really rather hard to do, since there is an astonishing assortment of duct component dimensions, not to mention each and every one has a different sales price.

Normal dimension variables consist of particular lengths, diameters as well as angles and all these variances signifies that regular on-line shopping carts aren’t able to handle the total amount of variables, without resorting to cataloguing the very same product again and again, with the only variant being the dimension, which renders working with the cart into something that is particularly bewildering and inconvenient for anyone trying to find all the parts they need from the merchandise.

Right here is an example of what we mean:

Let’s say you intended to acquire a piece of straight, standard galvanized duct. This is a relatively straight forward unit, but the range of length and also diameter permutations is fairly considerable. Firstly there is the duct length. Common galvanised ducting is available in 3 preferred sizes:

– 0.5 of a meter,

– 1 meter and also

– 2 meters.

Next we should think about the vast array of diameters the item can be found in, in this instance we’ll show the most typical diameters, which are as follows below:

– 80mm,
– 100mm,
– 125mm,
– 140mm,
– 150mm,
– 160mm,
– 180mm,
– 200mm,
– 225mm,
– 250mm,
– 275mm,
– 300mm,
– 350 mm and
– 400mm.

As you can see, this means we have 3 different sizes and also 14 different diameters, so to establish an online store just for straight galvanised ductwork, it would require 42 individual catalogue units. Which is just for straight galvanised ductwork! There’s a wide variety of other pieces people using galvanized ductwork could also need, for instance, lobsterback bends, branch parts, telescopic ducting, duct with door access, rings, gaskets, gates, valves, sweeps … and so on, and moreover every one also has a number of diameters, lengths and even in some cases even more variables!

You could be thinking, that surely there are already shopping carts on the market that are capable of dealing with products with variables like shoes and clothing for instance can vary both sizes and colors and yes that’s true, however when you change the colour or size of an item of clothing the price doesn’t have to change along with it, and that’s what’s different in the range of ducting products, every different size has a different sales price and this is the complexity that the average online store doesn’t cater for.

Can you envisage being a customer endeavoring to explore an online shopping cart to select and order the ductwork components that will be needed to put together an entire ductwork setup? How unfriendly and also complex would it be to try to navigate a seemingly never-ending list of separate ductwork pieces, all with differing diameters and lengths?

This complex bundle of variables has made web-based buying for ducting pieces monotonous and time consuming. Though not anymore! As Advanced Duct Systems (ADS) have recently fixed this conundrum by producing a custom made online store where a purchaser need only visit one individual component webpage to choose any kind of variable for that piece from a drop down selection, and have the pricings for any type of order of variables update real-time in the page on the e-commerce shopping store.

This makes on-line browsing and also shopping as easy as pie, as now you can buy numerous diameters as well as lengths from the one web page! You can likewise obtain comprehensive specs from the cart as a pdf from the exact same webpage.

So if you’re in a trade which has to order ductwork units, I invite you to take into consideration the virtues of choosing Advanced Duct Systems (ADS) to purchase your goods online. Orders are sent right to their pick and pack establishments and you receive an order confirmation directed to you via e-mail. Gone are the days of faxing or dialling through your orders along with the potential of “you asked for one thing they heard something else” mistakes in orders is thankfully eliminated.

Advanced Duct Systems sells standard galvanised ductwork, pneumatic tubing, powder coated duct, pneumatically-driven conveying duct systems, stainless-steel ductwork and also flexible ducting online, from the world’s easiest to use online store for purchasing ducting. Why don’t you check it out the next time you have to buy ducting pieces. Also don’t forget, wholesale and trade customers will receive discount rates through being supplied a designated pass-code which gives them with discounted pricing.

AMD Opteron 64-Bit ARM-Based Seattle Dev Kits Now Available

AMD announced on Wednesday the general availability of its Opteron A1100 series developer kit, and the inclusion of the company’s very first 64-bit ARM-based processor, codenamed “Seattle.” AMD began sampling out this chip earlier this year, which will take on Applied Micro’s X-Gene in the server processor market. AMD boasts that it’s currently the first to provide a standard ARM Cortex-A57-based server platform for software developers and integrators. Read: AMD’s 64-bit ARM Based Server Processor ‘Seattle’
“The journey toward a more efficient infrastructure for large-scale datacenters is taking a major step forward today with broader availability of our AMD Opteron A1100-Series development kit,” said Suresh Gopalakrishnan, general manager and vice president, Server business unit, AMD. “After successfully sampling to major ecosystem partners such as firmware, OS, and tools providers, we are taking the next step in what will be a collaborative effort across the industry to reimagine the data center based on the open business model of ARM innovation.”
The development kit, priced at $2,999, is packaged in a micro-ATX form factor and includes the quad-core Seattle chip, 16 GB of DDR3 DRAM (2x Registered DIMMs), PCIe connectors configurable as a single x8 or dual x4 ports, eight SATA connectors, a standard UEFI boot environment, and the Fedora operating system environment. The kit is compatible with standard power supplies, and uses the standard Linux GNU tools.
The new developer kit also comes packed with an Apache web server, a MySQL database engine, and PHP scripting language. Java 7 and 8 allows developers to work in a 64-bit ARM environment, the company reports.
According to AMD, the new Opteron A1100 Series supports four and eight ARM Cortex-A57 cores. The series also supports up to 4 MB of shared L2 and 8 MB of shared L3 cache, up to 4 SODIMM, UDIMM or RDIMMs, and eight lanes of PCI-Express Gen 3 I/O. The chip can also handle eight SATA 3 ports, two 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports, and ARM TrustZone technology.
“With this announcement, AMD becomes the only provider of 64-bit ARM server hardware with complete ARMv8 instruction set support to foster the development of the ecosystem for efficient storage, Web applications and hosting. AMD is the only provider to offer the standard ARM Cortex-A57 technology,” the press release stated.
Developers of hardware and software, as well as early adopters in large data centers, are eligible to use this new developer kit; you can apply at amd.com/arm.
The launch of the development kit arrives several months after AMD introduced its Project Skybridge initiative back in May. Starting in 2015, AMD will be looking to make x86 and ARM-based chips pin-compatible so that both chips can run on the same motherboard.
“The 64-bit ARM variant of ‘Project SkyBridge’ will be based on the ARM Cortex-A57 core and is AMD’s first Heterogeneous System Architecture (HSA) platform for Android; the x86 variant will feature next-generation ‘Puma+’ CPU cores,” AMD’s press release stated. “The ‘Project SkyBridge’ family will feature full SoC integration, AMD Graphics Core Next technology, HSA, and AMD Secure Technology via a dedicated Platform Security Processor (PSP).”
The company also plans to introduce products based on K12, a high-performance, low-power ARM-based core, in 2016.
