Trek starts delivery of FluCard upgrade for PLUS Corporation

The company to supply adaptation of FluCard , which makes contents on whiteboards interactive.

Trek 2000 International Ltd. (“Trek”), inventor and patent owner of the ThumbDrive TM, on Wednesday announced that it will start delivering customized FluCard to PLUS Corporation (“Plus”) from October 2011 onwards, a premier provider of leading-edge digital projectors and electronic Copy/White boards. Trek will deliver approximately 50K units of Flu Card to Plus in FY2012. It will have a positive financial impact on Trek’s FY2012 earnings.

Traditional Copy/White Boards enable users to write, scan and print through a built-in printer. With the customized version of Trek Flu Card that is inserted into the Copy/White Board SD Slot and/or USB interface, the contents in the Copy/White Board can be scanned and stored in the Flu Card. The contents in the Flu Card can be shared wirelessly with different host devices such as PC, Note book and Smart Phone instantly and simultaneously. With this new collaboration and state-of-the-art Flu Card’s technology, it will forgo the traditional form of printing on paper, according to a Trek report.

The move is an extension of the application of the Flu Card® beyond the digital camera to other consumer electronics and exemplifies the flexibility of the Flu Card.

“We are pleased to tie up with Plus Corporation in offering this paperless solution by FluCard®. By adapting the FluCard to enhance the existing functions of the White Board, we aim to make the user experience more seamless than before. To date, FluCard® has been largely used in imaging and cameras. As such, this marks the beginning of FluCard®’s innovative application into a wider spectrum of consumer electronics,” Mr Henn Tan, Executive Chairman and CEO of Trek, said.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
