Advanced Signal - Out to Lunch - It's Baton Rouge

One of the chief goals of technology is to improve efficiency to
make it quicker and easier to do our jobs and to make money. Baton
Rouge is home to a growing number of tech companies that are coming
up with software products and services that increase efficiency in
a variety of sectors. Joel Costonis is CEO of Advanced Concepts and
Engineering. The company s signature product is the ACE Auto Grade
Laboratory. It s a mobile testing lab about the size of your
average washing machine, and it streamlines and improves the
accuracy of aggregates testing, which, if you know anything about
commercial construction, you ll know is very important because
aggregates are key components used to strengthen the composite
materials like concrete and asphalt. Until Joel s mobile lab came
along, such testing was done manually, which is time consuming,
expensive and prone to human error. The ACE Auto Grade Laboratory
is making this testing process quicker and easier, and a lot of
major companies, including Martin Marietta, have begun using it.
Matt Mullenix is a local public relations consultant and partner in
a firm that has developed a new GPS based tracking software called
VIP Signal that is making it quicker and easier for governments and
companies to track their employees in the field. One of Signal s
initial applications was in tracking participants and emergency
services providers at the Louisiana Marathon. Since then VIP Signal
has gotten the attention of municipal organizations throughout the
region. Photos at Mansurs on the Boulevard by Karry Hosford.
