Mohawk Modular Carpet

Mohawk's Synergy commercial carpet collection was designed to enhance corporate and institutional interiors by combining the aesthetic of a fresh, earth-toned palette with four richly textural designs: Synthesis, Fusion, Suspension, and Convergence. Additional environmental concerns motivated the use of SIMS technology (sample simulation instead of physical sample production) during the design phase, eliminating significant waste during product development. By increasing the reuse of their product line, by incorporating fully recyclable Type 6 nylon material backed with the new PVC-free Encycle™ backing system, Mohawk offers builders and clients a model of sustainable design.

Handheld Wireless Construction Camera

iBEAM's Handheld camera enables a project manager walking through a job site to send live video to a building team off site. The architect, contractor, or client can view the images on a computer screen, review the site's status, approve changes, and participate in problem solving without leaving their offices. Live images can catch job site problems before they turn costly. The technology can also help reduce travel time and document the construction process. The iBEAM Handheld Traveler™ is a portable cellular version of the camera that can send live, detailed images from areas that don't have Internet access.
