(PRUnderground) January 3rd, 2023

Rigel, a leading Asian manufacturer of eco-friendly, smart restroom products, makes its first appearance in the U.S. at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show (CES), held from January 5-8 in Las Vegas. The company’s overall offering includes a comprehensive variety of sanitary products, but the exhibit at the show focuses on its advanced technologies for commercial restrooms.

RigelIoT, also called the Rigel Internet of Toilets, is a revolutionary centralized system that provides real-time updates on toilet amenities, equipment and occupancy in the restroom facility.  The system features functions such as washroom management, equipment management, manpower management, amenities refilling, fault detection, data analytics and performance analysis, providing an essential one-stop service for daily operations, substantially optimizing capital and operational resources through an on-demand cleaning and technician scheduling system.

“We are very excited to introduce the American audience to our brand and products,” says Brandon Ng, director of operations. “We are convinced that the U.S. market will welcome our smart, eco-friendly commercial restroom system that’s been a resounding success in Asia.”

The RigelIoT system guarantees a much-improved washroom and customer experience by ensuring all equipment is always in prime condition: soap and amenities are refilled, and cleaning is scheduled on demand based on traffic to maintain toilet cleanliness.

It provides sustainability benefits by tracking user traffic against consumption, identifying trends and patterns through data analysis, detecting amenities or water consumption abnormalities such as leaks or clogs, and tasking technicians to promptly resolve issues, which reduces the waste of resources.

RigelIoT greatly lowers operational costs overall. It reduces labor expenses with its on-demand task scheduling system as well as employee performance tracking and maximizes amenities savings through consumption tracking, enabling accurate utility purchases and reduced waste. It provides the operator with greater cost control with the ability to leverage multiple reports and analytics on water consumption and traffic patterns.

The smart products that work within the RigelloT system and are also on display at the show include faucets and sensor soap systems powered by state-of-the-art sensors that are extremely accurate, even in dimly lit environments. They feature a polished aesthetic that can fit in a wide array of settings.

One of Rigel’s latest product introductions is Trinity, a 3-in-1 multifunctional lavatory that integrates sensor tap technology, sensor soap and hand dryer into a single, compact product. It is available as a wall-hung and vanity-top model and maximizes space in small washrooms.

Wavesense is Rigel’s new top-of-the-line touchless toilet flush sensor that triggers an accurate and precise full or reduced flush with a simple swipe of the hand. It boasts a battery life of up to six months and is compatible with any existing toilet.

Ng adds: “We are looking for potential partners and wholesalers to collaborate in the North American market with our full range of smart sanitary products including our RigelIoT system.”

Rigel’s showcase will be located at booth #50332 in the Venetian Expo as part of the Tech West category.

Longchamp names Jung So-min as its South Korean ambassador

French fashion house Longchamp has named South Korean actress Jung So-min its new local ambassador, citing her independent spirit, personal style and positive energy as qualities that reflect the brand’s values. Jung has appeared in Korean dramas across several genres, including the fantasy and historical series “Alchemy of Souls,” the romantic comedy “Love Next Door” and, more recently, “Would You Marry Me?” She also has two dramas lined up for 2027, including “The Dealer.” Beyond her acting projects, Jung regularly shares glimpses of her life and work on Instagram through @somin_jj. Longchamp noted that her personality and distinctive style have helped her connect with audiences and build a following beyond South Korea. The family-owned fashion house said Jung reflects the modernity and creativity it seeks to express through its collections. As an ambassador, she will bring her perspective to the brand and interpret its optimistic spirit in her own way. “We are thrilled to welcome Jung So-min to the Longchamp family,” said Sophie Delafontaine, Longchamp artistic director. “Longchamp is a Maison (fashion house) always on the move, looking out into the world and embracing whatever unfolds along the way.

She follows her instincts wherever they may lead, with elegance, curiosity and a sense of freshness.” The appointment brings Jung into Longchamp’s family of ambassadors, with the brand drawing a connection between her approach to her career and its openness to new experiences.

Healthy nails beneath the holiday sparkle

Healthy nails beneath the holiday sparkle

As holiday parties and reunions approach, nail art offers another way to complete a festive look. Gel polish, dip powder, acrylic extensions, magnetic designs and embellishments have expanded the options beyond French tips and glossy colors. But beneath the colors, chrome accents and gemstone flowers, natural nails still need care, Makati Medical Center (MakatiMed) reminds beauty enthusiasts. “What may look pretty on the surface may be covering an entirely different story underneath. Our nails can provide us with clues and hints about our health as a whole,” said dermatologist Sharon Osmena Lim. Changes in nail color, texture, shape and strength can point to nutritional deficiencies, infections and possibly cancer, she explained, and may require further attention. Healthy nails feel smooth and strong and appear uniformly pink with white tips. Unusual changes should not be overlooked. Brittleness or easy breakage may have several causes, including poor nutrition, fad diets, decreased circulation or trauma from excessive manipulation during manicures and pedicures. Exposure to harmful chemicals, including those in nail polish and cuticle removers, can also contribute to brittle, discolored nails. Lim also cautioned against excessive removal of the nail, traumatic removal of ingrown nails and excessive trimming of the cuticle, which protects the nails. Yellowish or discolored nails may result from polish stains but can also signal a fungal infection. Horizontal ridges, known as Beau’s lines, may follow illness or injury, while dents or pits may be linked to skin conditions such as psoriasis. Changes in color or thickness, swelling of a finger or toe, separation of the nail from its bed and pain require medical evaluation, particularly when symptoms worsen or persist, Lim said. This is especially important for people with diabetes, kidney disease and other conditions affecting wound healing. Nail changes may also be related to anemia, thyroid problems and circulation issues. “While we cannot diagnose a health issue just by basing it on the changes in one’s nail appearance, it can serve as a starting point for further assessment by a medical professional,” she said. Regular gel manicures and nail art can also affect nail health. Lim cited chemicals in nail products, exposure to UV curing lamps and the application and removal of extensions and gems as factors that can weaken the natural nail plate over time. Care should extend beyond salon appointments. She advised keeping nails clean and dry because bacteria and fungi thrive in moist environments. Use a mild, fragrance-free cleanser and dry hands after exposure to water or chemicals. Lim also advised avoiding frequent hand-washing, nail-biting and picking, and using nails to open hard containers. Wear gloves when handling chemicals. Finally, she recommended giving nails time without polish and treatments. “Give your nails a break from all the buffing and chemical and UV exposure. Allotting recovery time after treatments can reduce risks of long-term damage that may be harder to reverse – or worse, cause permanent damage.” For those who enjoy designs, that recovery time is part of caring for the natural nails beneath the artwork.
