Every roof is an expensive building asset and should be protected. However, by the time most people show concern for their roof, it’s too late. Protecting it before issues arise will significantly extend the life of your roof, save money, reduce the risk of building damage, and provide a significant increase in property value. 

Fortis Warranty Benefits 

  • Financial Certainty: Replacing a roof can be financially devastating to a business’ operating plans. Eliminate the risk of living with a roof that isn’t protected or guaranteed to perform while deferring the high costs of replacement. A Fortis warranty can bring peace of mind, knowing both the roof and your business are protected.
  • Guaranteed Performance: Fortis’ warranties are the most comprehensive in the industry, contain the fewest restrictions, and are backed by Lloyd’s of London. This means you can feel secure that the company has sound financial backing and that we’ll be here when you need us.
  • 100% Transferrable Warranties: Fortis is essential for transacting buildings that have no existing roof warranty. Owners with expired warranties or previously non-covered roofs can easily implement a Fortis warranty. Buyers wanting to make sure that they are buying a solid asset can request an assessment and insist on a Fortis Warranty.
  • Green Solutions: Industry data indicates more than 80% of roofs are replaced prematurely. Fortis saves millions of square feet of toxic roofing from entering landfills by reconditioning them through our stringent standards and deferring their replacement for many years.
  • Experience You Can Trust: With more than 15 years of proven results, over 2,700 buildings, and over 120 million square feet under our care, you can rest easy knowing that Fortis’ solutions bear substantiated results! 

Good Riddance, Roof Risk

One of the reasons building owners don’t spend money on extensive roof repairs is that they don’t come with any sort of long term gurateee that they will work.They would spend lots of money and still hold all the risk. Many times building owner’s replace their roofs when their manfactures warranties expire to avoid the risk of having an older roof on their building. Some building owners choose to do nothing.Neglecting a roof altogether could prove to be extremely risky and costly, but the threat to the safety of those who work under it every day is even more significant. When the health of a roof is unknown, it puts every employee at risk.

Fortis’ solutions provide superior warranties that include extensise reconditioing work up front and guarantee the performance of your roof throught the warranty period. Fortis takes the risk so you can sleep sound!

Would You Neglect Your Own Coverage?

Parents, financial advisors, and others often advise younger generations to initiate life insurance coverage when they are younger. Typically set at fixed rates based on the age and health at coverage inception, a life insurance policy is less expensive when younger with more options available. As a person matures, obtaining coverage becomes a higher priority, but prices increase significantly each year as the individual ages. Further, a deadly disease can make a person entirely ineligible for coverage or at pricing that most cannot afford.

The same principle is true with roofing. When a roof is healthy and in good condition, long term goals for the asset are just that—long term. As a roof matures and initial warranties expire, disease can settle into the structure in many forms, making coverage challenging or even impossible to obtain. Fortis, however, provides a superior solution to increase the lifecycle of existing roofs.

A Fortis extended warranty is similar to a life insurance policy except that it actually guarantees the life of the roof for the warranty period. Costing less than one-third of the direct cost of a typical roof replacement (not to mention all the indirect costs), this safety net can’t be ignored as a solution to your roof problems.  

A Roof Over Your Head, Money in Your Pocket

Traditional manufacturers’ warranties are designed to protect their product, not the client. A Fortis warranty, is a proactive approach to roof safety, guaranteeing roof performance and extending roof life to protect buildings, tenants, and owners. This saves you money, defers unnecessary spend, and delivers total peace of mind when it comes to your roof.

Packaging robots can beat labor long term on cost, PMMI argues

Packaging robots can beat labor long term on cost, PMMI argues

PMMI's Tom Egan wrote in Processing Magazine that adding packaging automation and robotics can now be justified as more cost-effective over the long term than the high cost of labor in food, beverage and CPG plants. Separately, Packaging World describes AI-enabled AMRs from ABB and Agilox that automate material movement between packaging stations. The remaining gap is adoption among smaller manufacturers.

  • 01Two reference points for infrastructure-light material movement: ABB's Flexley Mover P603 carries 1,500 kg with sub-centimeter positioning and no floor markers, and Agilox's OFL lifts 800 kg pallets on peer-to-peer fleet software with no central traffic controller, per Packaging World.
  • 02The open ground is small and mid-sized manufacturers: MTC's Mike Wilson counts tens of thousands of UK SMEs with no robotic automation at all and expects cobots to take most of that growth.
  • 03A robotics business case should include procurement, not only line labor: a June 2026 China Journal of Accounting Research study found heavy robot adopters spread buying across more suppliers, gaining resilience but losing inventory efficiency and adding transaction costs.

Xtellio brings telematics to jobsite tools and heaters

Xtellio brings telematics to jobsite tools and heaters

Xtellio launched a two-tier telematics platform in March 2026: 32 battery-powered Xense sensors for small tools and wired Pro-Xentral devices for excavators, light towers and heaters. The company claims a 10-year battery life. Data is delivered through open APIs, which Xtellio frames as customer ownership of the data, aimed at rental and construction fleets where small assets have gone largely untracked.

  • 01Xtellio’s stated 10-year battery life for its Bluetooth Xense sensors is the key spec to test in the field; if it holds up, tagging hundreds of tools can look like a one-time install rather than a recurring battery-maintenance program.
  • 02For rental houses and contractors running mixed fleets, the sharper question is no longer which machines have telematics but whether the heaters, light towers and hand tools do, and whether that data lands in the same system.
  • 03Open APIs and “data liberation” are part of Xtellio’s pitch, and the coverage frames that as a prompt for RFP questions: what the APIs expose, where data can be sent, and whether customers can take historical data if they switch providers.

Senate bill would double smart water grants to $50 million a year

Senate bill would double smart water grants to $50 million a year

S. 2388, the Water Infrastructure Modernization Act of 2025, would double an EPA water tech pilot to $50 million a year through 2028. Grants would cover design, construction, training and operations for leak detection, advanced metering and AI analytics, WaterWorld reported. Planning and maintenance stay on the utility's tab.

  • 01Under S. 2388 as WaterWorld describes it, feasibility studies are not grant-eligible, so a utility would have to pay to build the case for a smart water project before applying for help building the project itself.
  • 02The bill's eligible list puts advanced digital design and construction management tools in the same bucket as meters and sensors, which would give a utility's capital delivery team a claim on the same grant as its field operations group.
  • 03The existing pilot program's authorization runs through 2026, per WaterWorld; the bill would extend it to 2028, and its last reported status was 'introduced' as of Aug. 12, 2025.
