Argosy Wind Power is Growing: US Headquarters Moves to Aurora, OH to Meet Wind Turbine Demand

US wind turbine manufacturer Argosy Wind Power moved its global headquarters, production, and manufacturing facility to a larger Aurora, Ohio location. Growing demands for their permanent magnet wind turbines for government FIT tariffs in the UK, Italy, and South America required upgraded an upgraded facility to handle higher production demand and ease logistical concerns.

Aurora, Ohio (PRWEB) April 03, 2014

Argosy Wind Power’s world headquarters has moved its Global Headquarters to a larger facility in Aurora, Ohio. The US wind turbine manufacturer’s move was necessary to meet growing demands for their direct drive wind turbines by vendors in Europe, South America, North America, and Asia. After just two years of producing wind turbines, their original manufacturing plant and headquarters was no longer capable of handling order volume efficiently. The new expansive offices and wind turbine production facility is better suited to fit product demands.

Better Visibility, Manufacturing, & Distribution
The new facility is located just off of the Ohio State Route 43 highway on Aurora Industrial Parkway. This new global headquarters provides better street visibility, larger manufacturing facilities, larger loading bay docks, and higher capacity lifts necessary for filling wind turbine orders given the large scale of many wind turbine components.

Larger Space for Growing Wind Energy Demand
The new Argosy Wind Power Headquarters office is over 12,000 square feet, now equipped with a loading dock and drive in ramp. The manufacturing facility has much larger crane capacity and taller ceiling heights to accommodate larger wind turbine model assembly. As the demand for wind turbine power continues to increase in Europe & South America, Argosy Wind Power’s facilities followed suit to accommodate the needs of their wind turbine vendors.

Production & Logistical Improvements
The crane lift at the old manufacturing facility was just powerful enough to lift the heavier components necessary during the wind turbine manufacturing, assembly, and shipment processes. The new production equipment is ideal for handling high volume assembly and vastly improves logistical considerations. The Aurora, Ohio manufacturing plant increases inbound and outbound transportation of wind turbines and components, is in close proximity to major highways, and neighbors various wind turbine component suppliers used in production.

CBS News: Fort Hood Gunman Purchased Handgun Legally On April 3rd CBS News reported that Fort Hood gunman Army Spc. Ivan Lopez "purchased his weapon legally [on] March 1."

According to CBS, an official "with knowledge of the investigation... [said] Lopez bought his weapon, a [Smith & Wesson M&P .45], at Guns Galore, the same shop where Maj. Nidal Hasan, who carried out a deadly rampage at Ft. Hood in 2009, bought his weapon."

This means Lopez went through a background check to get his gun, just like Hasan (Ft. Hood 2009), Karl Halverson Pierson (Arapahoe High School gunman), Aaron Alexis (DC Navy Yard gunman), Paul Anthony Ciancia (LAX gunman), and James Holmes (Aurora theater gunman), to name but a few.

This is an important piece of information to keep in mind as President Obama, Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV), and others continue to argue that expanding background checks to include all gun sales will reduce crime.

Airports Fiji Limited (AFL) has awarded a long term contract to Adacel to support its Aurora ATM system, which was commissioned in Nadi Centre in May 2010. The contract provides for on-going preventative and corrective maintenance and site support.

Montreal, Canada (PRWEB) April 04, 2014

Adacel announced today that Airports Fiji Limited (AFL) has awarded a long term contract to Adacel to support its Aurora ATM system, which was commissioned in Nadi Centre in May 2010. The contract provides for on-going preventative and corrective maintenance and site support.

The introduction of the Aurora system in 2010 brought AFL to the forefront of ATM technology in the Pacific. Adacel’s Aurora ATM capabilities were already in use across the Pacific in airspaces controlled by New Zealand and the USA. With the introduction of Aurora in the Nadi Flight Information Region (FIR), AFL became part of a seamless airspace stretching from the west coast of the USA to Australian controlled airspace.

Speaking of the agreement, Mr. Faiz Khan, Executive Chairman of AFL said: “The introduction of the Aurora system in our airspace allowed us to operate with neighboring ANSP’s in a completely seamless manner using an already developed and proven system. The performance of our system since commissioning has been exemplary and support from Adacel will assure continuing success in the future.”

Aurora allows AFL to handle traffic growth and provide the highest levels of safety and service to airspace users. Aurora capabilities include 4D profile protection, automated conflict detection, monitoring and control by exception, separation based on individual aircraft performance and equipage, dynamic airspace allocation, Controller Pilot Data Link Communications (CPDLC), Air Traffic Services Inter-Facility Data Communications (AIDC), and surveillance incorporating radar, automatic dependent surveillance contract and broadcast (ADS-C and ADS-B) and multilateration.

About Adacel

Adacel is a leading developer of operational air traffic management systems, speech recognition applications and advanced ATC simulation and training solutions. The Company’s products are widely used throughout Europe, North America, the Middle East and the Asia Pacific region. Reported by PRWeb 14 hours ago.
