As the $420B Cold Chain Booms, Ergodyne Arms the Front Lines
New Cold Storage Gear Solutions St. Paul, MN, Aug. 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cold chain logistics is one of the fastest-growing industries in the world, projected to top $420 billion this year alone. That surge comes with rising demand for product, speed, and increasingly, gear that can keep up with the conditions. Ergodyne is answering that call with its rapidly expanding cold storage collection. The worksite safety pioneer just launched its warmest freezer jacket to date, new thermal impact gloves, and merino blend socks—rounding out a head-to-toe system for cold storage and sub-zero work. 'We've built this collection directly with the folks who do it, day in and day out,' said Ergodyne Product Manager, Claudia Weber. Weber credits the quick adaption by major players in the cold chain space to her team's relentless focus on what crews really need. 'I think it's resonating because they know it was not only made for them (the workers), but with them, too.' Field testing with real cold storage teams, ongoing feedback loops, and on-site observations ensure every feature is grounded in real-world utility. An easy to miss but impactful example of this process are the exterior sizing labels found on outer layers, which allows for instant ID off the rack. 'Seems like not a huge deal,' said Weber. 'But to the workers sifting through the gear every day to find the right size, it is.' But as cold storage PPE demand heats up, so does confusion around one of the most asked questions in the industry: What do temperature ratings actually mean? "There's a lot of misinformation—and even more misunderstanding—about what temperature ratings truly represent," said Ergodyne President, Greg Schrab. 'We're committed to educating our users and helping them make informed decisions based on the best information available, not assumptions.' To that end, Ergodyne has published a guide aimed at demystifying temperature ratings, laying out what they measure, how they're tested, and why context—like activity level and duration of exposure—matters just as much as the rating itself. Read the full piece here. 'Just like any PPE, cold storage crews need the proper information about their thermal gear to make the right choice for their application,' Schrab continued. 'That's why we've always been as serious about education as we are about innovation.'

Ergodyne Launches Safety Glasses Designed to Stand Out, Then Stay Out of the Way
New Skullerz Eye Protection Solutions St. Paul, MN, July 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Style gets them on. Performance keeps them on. That's always been the thinking that drives safety work gear manufacturer Ergodyne. And it's never been more evident than with the latest additions to its safety glasses line. From clean, classic silhouettes to bolder, blade-style frames, they bring a fresh aesthetic to the job site. But beneath the good looks, it's all about serious safety and comfort. 'In terms of style, they're built to stand out. But once the work begins, the best compliment is forgetting they're event there... no slipping, no fogging, no distractions,' said Justin Schuetz, Product Manager at Ergodyne. 'They look great. They feel great. And most importantly, they'll help prevent you from adding to the 2,000 or so work-related eye injuries that happen in the U.S. every year." Leading the launch is SIXTEN, a timeless frame that merges everyday wearability with job site durability. Optional polarized mirrored lenses cut through glare and reduce eye strain, while upgraded Fog-Off+ tech keeps vision clear in high-humidity or extreme temperature shifts. Returning with additional options is AEGIR, a favorite among workers for its aggressive wraparound style. Now with high-contrast, color-enhancing lens options and new frame colors, it's built for both sharp looks and sharper vision. And just like the rest of Ergodyne's eye protection catalogue, the newest (SIXTEN & AEGIR) are built and designed with an intense focus on real-world function. "Safety glasses shouldn't look or feel like a compromise," said Ergodyne President, Greg Schrab. 'Workers won't wear what gets in the way. These don't. That's the whole point.'

NASA captures crash site of Japanese moon lander Resilience in detailed lunar photo
NASA 's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) has captured a high-resolution image revealing the crash site of Japan's Resilience moon lander, developed by Tokyo-based private firm ispace. The lander was attempting a historic touchdown on June 5, 2025, in the Moon's Mare Frigoris region, a vast ancient lava plain, but communication was lost shortly after its descent. The newly released image shows a dark smudge surrounded by a faint bright halo, a clear sign of the vehicle's high-speed impact and the resulting disruption of lunar soil. This marks the second failed lunar landing attempt by ispace. NASA tracks Japan's failed moon landing attempt in ancient volcanic region The Resilience spacecraft was aiming for a controlled landing in Mare Frigoris, a region shaped by massive basaltic lava flows over 3.5 billion years ago and later deformed by crustal buckling, forming prominent wrinkle ridges. Shortly after initiating its landing sequence, the ispace Mission Control Center lost contact with the lander. Analysis confirmed that the vehicle had likely crashed. The small Tenacious microrover, developed by ispace's European team in Luxembourg, was also lost during the failed landing. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Memperdagangkan CFD Emas dengan salah satu spread terendah? IC Markets Mendaftar Undo NASA's image reveals lunar scars NASA's LRO image clearly shows a dark mark at the impact site, where the spacecraft disrupted the Moon's topsoil, known as regolith. A faint bright halo around the crash point resulted from fine particles being scattered across the surface. According to Mark Robinson, the principal investigator for the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera, this visual evidence confirms the crash, which occurred about 2.4 km from the originally intended landing spot. Art and ambition lost in the crash The microrover Tenacious carried a unique piece of art, 'Moonhouse' by Swedish artist Mikael Genberg, a miniature model of red and white Swedish-style homes symbolising human presence and creativity on the Moon. This symbolic payload now lies among the wreckage, highlighting the fusion of art, exploration and private space ambitions. A repeated setback for ispace This was ispace's second lunar mission to end in failure. The company's first lander also crashed during its attempted landing in April 2023. Despite the setbacks, ispace remains among a small group of private firms pushing forward in the new era of commercial lunar exploration. The crash underscores the challenges of spaceflight, especially on the Moon, where terrain, timing and technology must align perfectly. While the crash is a disappointment for ispace, the successful imaging by NASA's orbiter provides valuable data and insights into the incident. As private and national space agencies continue their lunar ambitions, such documentation is vital for learning, improving designs and preparing for future missions, including eventual crewed landings and lunar habitation.
