Congratulations to Client WATTLOTS Whose SolarArbor™ Won "Top 10 Cool Products of 2011" by New Jersey Technology Council
Client WATTLOTS was designated a winner of the "Top 10 Cool Products of 2011" by the New Jersey Technology Council on November 9th for their SolarArbor™ product. The base of the SolarArbor™ was designed by Sigma Design Company.
The SolarArbor™ is a uniquely styled parking lot canopy system that is specifically designed to retrofit existing surface parking lots providing substantial quantities of clean, renewable electrical energy where it is needed.
Sigma Design Company developed the design for the base of the SolarArbor™ to provide stability and to enable rotation to maximize sun exposure. A working prototype is under testing in New Jersey and has already withstood an earthquake, a hurricane and a snow storm!
Stay tuned for more information about the development of this renewable energy product by WATTLOTS and Sigma Design Company.

New Product Demonstration of
MotionPower™ System to Generate Sustainable Electricity From Moving Cars - a Design/Prototype by Sigma Design Company
New Energy Technologies, Inc. and the City of Roanoke, Virginia, jointly debuted on October 22, 2011the latest MotionPower™ Express system, capable of generating sustainable electricity from moving vehicles. MotionPower™ assists vehicles in slowing down, and in
 the process, captures the slowing vehicle's motion (kinetic) energy before it is lost as brake heat and friction, thus converting this energy into electricity. The lead engineer for the company is Mr. Jerry Lynch, President of
Sigma Design Company of Middlesex, New Jersey. Sigma designed and built the prototype of this clean alternative energy product.
This first-ever public demonstration of New Energy's brand new roadway technology was demonstrated with Sigma Design at the Roanoke Civic Center in Virginia, a high-traffic volume entertainment, convention, and cultural complex from 10 am to 6 pm on Saturday, October 22, 2011.
The live demonstration provided "important information that is the vital engineering link to rapidly developing our technology for commercial deployment." stated John Conklin, President and CEO of New Energy Technologies, Inc.
Once fully optimized and installed, engineers anticipate that MotionPower™ devices may be used to augment or replace conventional residential or commercial electrical supplies used to power roadway signs, street and building lights, emergency power storage systems and other electronics, appliances and devices used in homes and businesses.

Our POV: A New Manufacturing Era is Critical to Grow America!
Almost every local and global economy is suffering or worrying about a financial meltdown. Leaders and citizens alike are struggling and feel the sting of the dwindling economic pie. While some are complaining, some occupying and others grandstanding, at Sigma Design Company we are taking positive action by working to promote a New Manufacturing Era. We are doing this by investing, creating, producing and employing.
Sigma Design Company is bullish on the inventiveness and ingenuity of the American people. We believe in ourselves, our suppliers, our clients and our collaborators. We have more than 'doubled down' on US manufacturing by expanding eight-fold and by just opening (in October) a Technology Commercialization and New Product Manufacturing Center in Middlesex, New Jersey.
We believe that we, and others like us, can compete right here in the USA and right here in New Jersey! We are doing this by conceiving, designing, and producing state of the art, high-valued, high-engineered systems and solutions for a range of industries. We bring team spirit, professionalism and innovative collaboration for total new product development and manufacturing. We seek to spur on others across this great land to stand up, work smart and be part of the solution to build a New Manufacturing Era. Come join us!

 Every team needs a capable all around player to keep them on track and Maureen O'Callahan serves this role for Sigma Design Company.

Our engineering team relies on Maureen, who prepares bills of materials for new projects, handles procurement and ensures on time receipt of materials to keep production moving. Rounding out Maureen's responsibilities are vendor management, accounting and shipping. She is surely the glue that holds the team together! Maureen joined Sigma in 1999 after an18 year career with Fisher Scientific which spanned data entry, inside sales, project management and customer service. She is always ready with an encouraging word and, of course, with her famous bowl of chocolates which puts a smile on everyone's face. What Maureen likes best about Sigma is "the constant change of job details.Nothing is 'same old same old'. The job is ever changing along with our customers' requirements, therefore, it is never boring." |
