The T260 is a small 20-inch walk-behind floor scrubber designed for quick, straight-forward operation. Its compact size allows high visibility when maneuvering in tight spaces.

It’s designed for facility owners and operators who want an effective machine that’s easy to use and maintain. It’s well suited to clean in healthcare, education, retail and public environments.

“We’re proud to have two more reasons why facility managers should choose Tennant,“ said Pat Schottler, Vice President, Global Marketing at Tennant Company. “It’s been a big year for us, as we continue to introduce new machines to help serve our customers across all facility types. At the heart of these innovations is giving the customer more options — cleaning looks different for each facility. The new T260 and T391 are great choices for customers prioritizing ease-of-use, powered by best-in-class cleaning technology and backed by the Tennant experience — all at a competitive price.”

The T260 has many outstanding features, including simple controls with a one-button stop/start function and battery meter display; a large recovery tank enabling full access and visibility; clear operator sightlines due to the scrubber’s small size; and excellent water pick-up powered by the Linatex squeegee blades and floating splash guards.

The T391 supports better cleaning productivity with a wide scrub path and large solution and recovery tanks (70L each). It also features an automatic self-leveling scrub head, allowing for optimum cleaning performance on a variety of surfaces. Its pre-programmed and easy-to-use standard and eco-mode settings simplify operator training.

SLB, AWS and Shell Collaborate to Accelerate OSDU® Data Platform Adoption

SLB, AWS and Shell Collaborate to Accelerate OSDU® Data Platform Adoption

Agreement demonstrates the platform’s openness potential, avoiding costly and inefficient adaptation of applications

LONDON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
SLB (NYSE: SLB), Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Shell Global Solutions Nederland BV (Shell) have signed a multi-year three-way collaboration agreement to deliver digital end-to-end workflows for Shell, using SLB subsurface solutions on AWS cloud infrastructure. The collaboration is intended to deliver high performance and cost efficient subsurface digital solutions, to be used by Shell and made available to the industry. The digital workflows will use the OSDU® Data Platform standards to improve the positive customer experience by business users—increasing efficiency and collaboration, while producing better insights to Shell and the energy industry. This collaboration builds on the existing strategic collaboration agreement between SLB and AWS and accelerates the availability of SLB’s industry leading software including Petrel™ subsurface solutions and Techlog™ wellbore solutions, on AWS.

“Cloud-based computer power and reliable, available OSDU® Technical Standard-compliant data, will be a foundation for efficient subsurface workflows and help bring data to our engineers’ fingertips. Shell is committed to ongoing support and contributions to the OSDU® Forum Community, as well as to accelerating the availability of commercial solutions,” said Edwin Verdonk, Executive Vice President Development and Subsurface at Shell. “Through this MOU with SLB and AWS we aim to accelerate the arrival of cloud solutions and enabling OSDU® Data Platform access.”

“SLB, Shell, and AWS are aligned on the importance and further deployment of the OSDU® Data Platform,” said Rakesh Jaggi, President, Digital & Integration, SLB. “Our long commitment to openness enables us to deploy SLB solutions with AWS. This expands customers’ choice of cloud provider, giving them access to AWS’ significant service offering and cloud computing power for wider collaboration and increased efficiency.”

The three parties share a long-term commitment to OSDU® Data Platform: community standardization, open source, open marketplace, the ability to liberate industry data, and to maximize the technology footprint available to the industry. The expansion of SLB’s multi-platform strategy to include AWS, demonstrates the potential of the platform’s openness—SLB solutions integrating successfully with AWS cloud infrastructure, without the requirement for costly and inefficient adaptation of applications.

“This collaboration with Shell and SLB will set a new standard for application and data interoperability, to provide the best user experience at the lowest cost of operation,” said Howard Gefen, General Manager – Energy & Utilities, AWS. “The combined capabilities across Shell, SLB, and AWS will not only ensure the delivery of value at scale, but will unlock areas of innovation where the collaboration will develop new approaches and solutions to the challenges faced in subsurface workflows seen across the energy industry.”

Many operators have a goal of adopting the OSDU® Technical Standard to accelerate cycle times and reduce costs, by building data-driven decision making into their digital workflows and switching between solutions from multiple vendors, with minimal effort. The three parties are committed to working together and with other partners to further this ambition and use the unique capabilities of an Open Forum platform.

  • In the third quarter of 2023, the Company achieved over $1.5 million in positive cashflow from operating activities, compared to negative cashflow of $1.4 million for the same period in 2022.
  • Cash and cash equivalents balance as of September 30, 2023, amounted to approximately $7.7 million.

“At the beginning of the third quarter, we decided to direct efforts to improve our profitability. As part of our strategy, we implemented a scale down of investments into the consumer segment and focused on our enterprise business. Our decision immediately bears fruit – NetNut continues to accelerate its growth, resulting in consolidated revenues for the third quarter of 2023 of approximately $6.6 million, alongside a significant improvement in our bottom line. Accumulated revenues from the beginning of 2023, already surpass the total revenues of 2022 and we expect substantial improvement in our positive cashflow of more than $1.5 million, alongside improvements in additional financial parameters,” commented Shachar Daniel, Chief Executive Officer of Alarum.

Alarum expects to release the fully reviewed financial statements on or before November 30, 2023.

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other Federal securities laws and the Israeli securities law. Words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates” and similar expressions or variations of such words are intended to identify forward-looking statements. For example, Alarum is using forward-looking statements in this press release when it discusses its preliminary unaudited results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023, the expected positive cashflow from operating activities and that the above mentioned preliminary unaudited results are highlighting continued operating and business growth. Because such statements deal with future events and are based on Alarum’s current expectations, they are subject to various risks and uncertainties and actual results, performance or achievements of Alarum could differ materially from those described in or implied by the statements in this press release. The forward-looking statements contained or implied in this press release are subject to other risks and uncertainties, including those discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in Alarum’s annual report on Form 20-F filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 31, 2023, and in any subsequent filings with the SEC. Except as otherwise required by law, Alarum undertakes no obligation to publicly release any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

The Company is providing revenue, cashflow from operating activities and cash and cash equivalents balance estimates in this press release, rather than final amounts, primarily because the financial closing process and review are not yet complete and, as a result, the Company’s results upon completion of its closing process and review may vary from these preliminary estimates.
