Millar works fast but methodically under the judge’s scrutiny

Windscreen replacement specialists gather for the ultimate showdown, where one will be crowned world champion

“My trainers told me they were going to break and rebuild me,” says Dave Lyth. “I lost three stone. It takes over your life.”

The former UK and European champion, and world number three, turns his gaze back to Ryan Millar, his colleague, working quickly and expertly under the watchful eyes of two clipboard-wielding judges, within a precisely marked-out space he cannot leave and we cannot enter.

“I’m feeling good,” Ryan had told me an hour before he went into the ‘ring’, here at the giant Frankfurt Messe exhibition complex. “Me and Billy Johnston, my trainer, have been practising ever since I won the UK title last October.”

Welcome to the world windscreen repair championships or, as the organisers call it, the Best of Belron. Best of Autoglass would have been clearer except that Autoglass is just one of a number of vehicle glass repair companies operating under different names in over 30 countries (for example, Safelite in the US, O’Brien in Australia and Carglass elsewhere in Europe and Russia), all of them owned by UK-based Belron International Ltd.

Every two years, the group’s technicians who have won their country’s national championship converge at a major international location to compete for the Best of Belron world title. This year, the football World Cup might have been taking place in Russia but its windscreen repair equivalent was happening right here in Frankfurt.

In fact, not only windscreens but also rear and side glass, and recalibration of the cameras at the heart of the advanced driver-assistance system (ADAS) disturbed by the removal and replacement of the windscreen. Each technician is scrutinised by a team of two judges keen to see they’re following the Belron way, a system contestants ignore at their peril.

“I’m looking for adherence to the process,” says head judge Darren Hunter. “For example, there are 40 steps to windscreen replacement alone. Also, I want to see first-class interaction with the judges who play the role of the customer.”

The technicians compete in rows of marked-off spaces, each containing a workstation and a gleaming Audi A4. I arrive on the competition’s second day when they must remove, replace and recalibrate the car’s windscreen in 90min. Points are deducted for running over time as well as deviating from the Belron way. It’s high-pressure stuff, with each competitor observed not only by the judges but also by their fellow Belron countrymen and women. Each time a windscreen is removed and replaced, they cheer loudly.

As much as it encourages their competitor, it also panics rivals, hopefully forcing them to fluff the process and drop points. At least, that appears to be the intention...

“They won’t bother Ryan,” says Johnston. “He’s a retained firefighter and as cool as a cucumber. He’ll be too busy concentrating.”

That much is obvious as, clock ticking, Ryan Millar deftly prepares his A4’s new windscreen and wipes clean the suckers that will grip the glass as he lifts it from the worktable.

An experienced tech watching Millar alongside me recalls how in the old days, you could climb into the passenger seat, put your feet on the windscreen and push it out. Not any more. Instead, Ryan assembles a complex web of pulleys wound with Belron’s special Ezi-Wire fibreline that cuts through the windscreen bonding like cheesewire.

With the old screen removed, he prepares the channel for the new glass. Taking it to the car and manoeuvring it into place is a delicate operation. Earlier, I’d visited glass supplier Pilkington’s stand in the adjacent exhibition hall and saw just how thin a modern windscreen is. It was from a current-model BMW 5 Series. The outer layer of glass was 1.8mm thick but the inner layer was just 1.4mm. On the previous model, both layers would have been 1.8mm and the windscreen itself 15% heavier.

Windscreen and scuttle both in place, Millar is ready to recalibrate the ADAS camera mounted in the A4’s rear-view mirror assembly. Because the car’s battery is likely to have been drained slightly by the doors being left open, he hooks up a separate power source. If he didn’t, there’d be a risk the Audi’s battery would run into management mode, closing down the ADAS system.

Millar now checks the A4’s tyre pressures and pushes down on each corner of the car to check it’s sitting level and at the right height. Some manufacturers insist their car has a full tank of fuel as part of establishing the vehicle’s correct height for recalibration. With the car sitting just right, he stands a large target board (each car maker has its own design) in front of the A4 and recalibrates the ADAS camera to factory settings. And then, but for general tidying up, he’s done.

“I’m tired but proud to have represented my country and my colleagues,” Millar tells me. “I don’t do nerves. I just went in and did my best.”

Steve Marelli, his colleague who won the world title in 2012, says winning is a big deal. “I’ve worked in over 10 Belron territories since my victory. I’ve done TV ads, roadshow demos... It was a huge career boost and now I’m an operations manager.”

I’ve got to catch a plane so I miss the awards ceremony. My phone pings a message as I land at Heathrow: ‘Ryan got a runner-up position. A great result!’

Absolutely, but judging by the determined look in his eyes earlier in the day, I bet he’s just a little bit disappointed at losing out to Rick Beasley of Safelite America. He has no need to be. If my car has picked up a chipped windscreen in the short stay car park, I know who to call. 

*It’s getting more sophisticated: *

Taxiarchis Konstantopoulos, managing director of Autoglass, says that although there was an increase this summer in cracked windscreens caused by air-con systems chilling hot glass weakened by a pre-existing stonechip, there has been a slight decline in call-outs in recent years.

“Motorists’ average speeds have fallen due to speed cameras,” he says. “Also, more people are leaving their cars at home and cycling to work or taking the train.”

He says his business is becoming more sophisticated. First, there was the company’s launch, in 2015, of its ADAS recalibration service (“insurers took a lot of persuading”) and it is currently developing artificial intelligence (AI).

“We’ll use AI to interpret customers’ photographs of their cars’ body damage and chipped screens and generate a quotation. It’ll make the customer journey slick and simple.”

Corporations of all sizes to benefit from advanced unified communications solutions

HONG KONG, Aug. 20, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- HGC Global Communications Limited (HGC), a fully-fledged fixed-line operator and ICT service provider with extensive local and international network coverage and infrastructure, today announced collaboration with Blue Face Limited (Blueface), a leading Unified Communications-as-a-Service Provider to launch UC Anywhere Service. The result will be the delivery of integrated, feature-rich and flexible cloud-based unified communications (UC) solutions to suit corporations of all sizes.An event was held by HGC at a cinema on 18 August to announce the collaboration with Blueface to launch UC Anywhere.

*One-stop UC solution **enables** corporations to communicate efficiently while extending business reach*

Corporations are opting for digital transformation to make their business processes more efficient in support of growth. A cost-effective and ever-evolving communication tool connecting internal and external parties has therefore become essential to day-to-day operations.

HGC's advanced local network and extensive international network infrastructure are integrated with Blueface's global UC cloud platform to deliver a superior UC solution. As a result businesses can be reached regardless of their location via a designated office number through any means of communication. UC Anywhere comprises a full suite of easy-to-use and comprehensive service features including simultaneous ring (SIM-ring), voicemail-to-email, call pull and intelligent call routing etc. -- all to keep businesses stay connected with business partners on a single platform.

UC Anywhere is also able to accommodate a corporation's future expansion, thanks to abundant scalability and flexibility in the platform design. Another major benefit is that this leading-edge UC capability is available without the need to make any hefty CAPEX investment. All these plus-points compare very favourably with the limited functionality offered by a private branch exchange (PBX) system.

*Diverse features enable businesses to reach the next level of communication *

· *Choose the way you want to communicate* -- UC Anywhere delivers communications in multiple forms to suit a customer's diverse and changing needs.
· *Local access, global reach *--* *UC Anywhere is carried by a global ring UC network running on highly-secure and reliable networks. Businesses can enjoy a smooth delivery of uninterrupted voice and video transmission on an international scale, with exceptional service quality anytime, anywhere.
· *Multi-country **p**hone **n**umbers in ONE **d**evice* -- UC Anywhere is able to consolidate a variety of overseas numbers. As a result, businesses can be reached via local numbers in designated overseas countries.
· *Call flow management at your fingertips *-- HGC has taken a traditionally-complicated IVRS call-flow to a refreshing new level of simplicity. Our Advanced Call Flow (ACF) Management Module is a sophisticated yet easy-to-use built-in call-flow management function that enables customers to build and customise their own IVR system call-flow in simple drag-and-drop steps. 
· *Video and audio conferencing* -- Video and audio conferencing features allow you to communicate in a fully-rounded manner, while sharing screens with colleagues and business partners dispersed around the world.

Mr. Andrew Kwok, Chief Executive Officer of HGC said: "The collaboration with Blueface enriches our business portfolio and proposition locally and internationally and marks our commitment to deliver advanced market-driven solutions to meet the needs of all organisations, whether small, medium or large."

Mr. Dennis Wong, Director of Corporate and Enterprise Markets of HGC said: "Riding on our extensive international backbone infrastructure and business footprint, as well as our reliable hosting and comprehensive voice services, Blueface can now extend coverage from Europe and the US to Asia together with an experienced telecommunication operator. We can also integrate our UC solutions with various applications to meet business needs via the API integration capability. Our customer-centric approach will enable customer organisations to improve the efficiency of their daily business operations by harnessing the power of digitalisation."

Alan Foy, Group CEO of Blueface and Star2Star, said: "The collaboration means HGC's corporate customers can now enjoy a best-in-class unified communications experience in Hong Kong and globally. This will be achieved via our global ring UC network, multilingual self-service web portal and localisation of all communication elements. With HGC's participation, it also facilitates Blueface's business deployment and expansion in Asia."

*The **UC Anywhere **s**ervice **was announced on 18 August
*Visually-impaired guests are invited to enjoy Hong Kong's first audio descriptive film on the same day

HGC has invited hundreds of business customers and partners to share the joy and enjoy a screening of "Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again" to coincide with the announcement of UC Anywhere service on 18 August. Earlier in the day, HGC hosted a charity screening event, inviting dozens of visually impaired people from the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals Care and Attention Homes for Aged Blind and the Star Darkness Fighters Dragon, together with their families, to enjoy Hong Kong's first audio descriptive movie, "Men On The Dragon". HGC hopes that the activity will enable them to discover and achieve "Beyond Possibilities".

A new report from Canalys said that global shipments of smart speakers increased by 187 percent in the second quarter of 2018. Almost a third of all units sold were Google Home units, while China proved to be the fastest-growing market, the report noted.

A new report from Canalys confirms that smart speakers are increasingly popular, so much so that worldwide shipments increased by 187 percent in the second quarter of 2018, as compared to the same period in 2017, with a total of 16.8 million units sold.

Four brands led the way, making up approximately 87 percent of all smart speakers sold: Google at 32.3 percent, Amazon at 24.5 percent, Alibaba at 17.7 percent and Xiaomi at 13.2 percent.

In first place is Google, with 5.4 million shipments -- that means nearly 1 in every 3 buyers opted for the Google Home. This growth of 449 percent had undoubtedly benefited from the company's expansion into Europe and Asia, though the US still accounts for 58 percent of Google's shipments.

Amazon also relies heavily on the US -- 68 percent of the 4.1 million Echo devices sold in Q2 of 2018 were bought in the States. But Amazon saw no growth this year, in fact there was a 14 percent decrease in units sold, perhaps due to growing competition from other brands, along with new players such as the Apple HomePod.

Sales are soaring in China, contributing to 52 percent of total growth worldwide. Canalys Research Analyst Hattie He notes that "China is on its way to overtake the US in the near term," and that the main challenge now is for local vendors to generate further revenue from their existing base of users.

Chinese brands Xiaomi and Alibaba accounted for almost 30 percent of worldwide sales and 90 percent of sales in their home market. Alibaba's Tmall Genie speakers are the top sellers in China, with 3 million sold, and the Xiao AI Mini smart speaker saw growth of 228 percent, with 2 million units sold in total. Hatte He notes that both brands have had to cut their prices aggressively to create demand.

While smart speakers are finding their way into homes and businesses, the full potential of their AI technology and voice-activated assistance has yet to be discovered, which means that smart speakers may soon be outpaced by smart displays and other hardware.

Forex today witnessed a quiet affair, as risk-off sentiment seeped back in Asia amid renewed Australian political tensions and Brexit uncertainty. Meanwhile, the latest gunshots fired at the US embassy in Ankara also fuelled risk-aversion further. As a result, the US dollar extended its gradual recovery across its main competitors, with the Antipodeans losing the most.  The Euro and pound followed suit and remained exposed to further downside bias amid looming political tensions. Meanwhile, the USD/JPY pair extended its advance above the 110.50 levels, despite mixed tone on the Asian equities and weaker Treasury yields.

Amongst the commodities, both crude benchmarks traded on the back foot, with WTI back below the $ 65 mark. Gold futures on Comex extended its bounce above $ 1190 level while Comex copper prices weakened 0.60% to $ 2.645.
