2016 – Blue Ring Technologies

So you have a great idea! What’s next?

You just figured out how you can make the world a better place. It doesn’t matter when or where it happened but you believe so strongly in your idea and are so certain that it is going to change your local community or even the world, that you are willing to risk everything to make your legacy. WELCOME TO BLUE RING TECHNOLOGIES!

Blue Ring Technologies LLC (BRT) was founded on the idea that Bluetooth technologies are being underutilized and our company’s owner and founder, Jay Prendes, bet his life’s work on it. The Jayster™ keychain was Jay’s first creation and from the simple idea that someone can find their lost valuables using smartphones and Bluetooth technology, Jay went all in.

Now is when the hard work really began. What engineering specifications are necessary to convert an idea into reality? How do we manufacture this product? How am I going to market and SELL my idea, my vision, my life’s work?

Jake still needs to be fed every morning and evening. And he eats a lot…

Fortunately, Jay is an educated and experienced computer engineer both with hardware and software. Jay has been the master of the DIY prototype since high school when he was a leading member of the Florida Technology Student Association and has earned multiple accolades in the creation and design of multiple projects regarding robotics technologies. Even more fortunate is that Jay was a lead software engineer for Motorola and has technical know-how to bring a product to life.

However, there were harsh realities to be learned when it came to the world of business and plastics. The engineering required to machine a product was not easy but with much help and additional training, it was done. Then came bringing the product to market, which meant creating demand! You mean not only did we have to conceive the idea of the game changer, but now we have to come up with a way to plant the idea of our product in the minds of the general public?

And then came the plastics. For some reason, not only was plastic making this venture viable but it was also making the idea for the business prohibitive due to the costs involved with production. The solution was Blue Ring Technologies.Watch Full Movie Online Streaming Online and Download

Fortunately for Jay, he always had his best friend and the best man at his wedding (yours truly) to consult regarding his business. I am Lou Rivera and I am Blue Ring Technologies LLC vice president. With over 14 years of combined experience in owning a business, finance, sales, and management, I have given my expertise and experience to help build and market Blue Ring Technologies from the ground up. BRT became the company that owns the idea and more importantly, the patents behind the Jayster™ innovation. From there, BRT had to secure funding to produce Jayster™ by launching a successful Kickstarter campaign which raised over $15,000. Combined with blood, sweat, and tears into the company, the Jayster™ became a reality and even more so, Blue Ring Technologies evolved.

Because of BRT’s successful Kickstarter campaign, it has led to the evolution of the business to specialize in rapid prototyping and production! This means that if you have an idea for a new product BRT will not only consult you regarding the design of the product, but we will also consult you in bringing your product and idea to the market, as well as manufacture it with BRT.Watch movie online The Transporter Refueled (2015)

At Blue Ring Technologies, we have created a highly unique business in which we cater to all industries that require plastic parts. Clients typically have a general idea of the kind of plastic they want to use, but we go the extra mile to introduce all the varieties of plastics that are available. I thought that a great blog topic would involve talking about the wide range of plastics that we use at Blue Ring Technologies. If you’re ever confused about what plastic to use in your product, this is a great condensed look at the different families of plastics.

(PP) Polypropylene:

This is a very common plastic used in toys, household products, bottles, etc. It is an ideal plastic if you wish to have a very flexible part without breaking or sheering, while also providing impact resistance. Also, if living hinges are necessary, it is highly recommended to use polypropylene. Some of the downsides of this particular plastic are that they break down under strong UV radiation and require very high tolerance in part design. The plastic tends to create voids and sinks that are deeper than some other plastics.

(ABS) Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene:

ABS is a highly desirable plastic, as it looks and feels much better than some other plastics on the market. It has high heat resistance, high gloss, and a good weight-to-strength ratio. Overall, ABS is a very good default plastic that we like to work with. However, it comes at a relatively high cost as compared to PP or HDPE

Acrylic:

Acrylic is used in products that require transparency or needs to be translucent. It is usually used to replace anything that was originally made of glass. It has a number of desirable properties, including being chemically resistant, non-toxic and slow burning. Some of the downsides of this plastic are that it tends to crack easily and does not have good impact resistance.

Polycarbonate:

Like acrylic, polycarbonate plastics are used in products that require transparency or need to be translucent. It does have two advantages over acrylic, namely that it has higher impact resistance and better scratch resistance. That being said, it will crack when too much force is applied and it has a relatively high cost compared to Acrylic.

Nylon:

Nylon is our go-to plastic if strength is critical in the product application. It is a difficult plastic to work with, but it’s essential for some applications. When dealing with nylon, processing fees are usually higher, due to certain issues with moisture pick-up and stability during processing.

(TPE) Thermal Plastic Elastomer:

At Blue Ring Technologies, we are very excited about TPE. We see it as a strong alternative to rubber and other flexible materials that could not be injection-molded in the past. We are seeing strong benefits of this material for industries coming from a compression-molding method that want to change to injection-molding methods in order to significantly reduce their unit cost.

All in all, this blog represents a very short list of common plastics used at Blue Ring Technologies. If interested, do not hesitate to give us a call so that we can recommend a family of plastic that’s ideally suited for your product.
