Swisslog expands to Mexico and Latin America

0
0
With the establishment of a Tlalnepantla, Mexico office, Swisslog’s Americas division is now well placed to address the growing needs of the Mexican and Latin American markets, Swisslog’s expansion plans include the acquisition earlier this year of Ohio-based, FORTE, which optimizes distribution centers for many of the fastest growing companies in North America.
 
Markus Schmidt, senior vice president of Swisslog Americas said, “Swisslog has already delivered solutions to one of Mexico’s largest retailers and now with our local office we can make a full-time commitment to the region. The new office will allow our expertise and solution/product portfolio in e-commerce and temperature controlled warehousing fully accessible to the growing local companies that want to take steps into warehouse automation.”
 
Senior design consultant, Yvan Busom Sosa, will lead the warehouse and distribution design practice in the Tlalnepantla office. Sosa believes the time is right to build on existing successes in the region. Many international companies entering the market in e-commerce and other areas will inspire a wave of automation needs, boosting the image of Mexico as a developing market.
 
Said Yvan: “It’s an exciting time to be in warehouse automation here in Mexico. 
We’re at the convergence of rapid developments in technology and retail trends in e-commerce, legislative requirements in pharmaceuticals and temperature controlled food and beverage needs. These are all areas of strength for our automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS) and our goods-to-person picking systems. We’re able to bring a competitive advantage that has proved very popular in other emerging markets.”
 
Swisslog is a leader in the global logistics automation market. In addition to driving some of the latest thinking in e-commerce and solutions for cold storage environments and case picking, the company recently introduced the first Automated Item Picking concept, bringing together robotics technology developed by parent-company KUKA, and adapting it for the piece picking environment. Robotics applications are also offering combined synergies for the company in freezer and pharmaceutical applications, making Swisslog an automation powerhouse around the globe.
 
Not only will Swisslog be able to aid the Mexican and Latin American markets in product solutions, they also have considerable expertise in the planning, design, implementation and technical support of entire distribution centers to ensure each facility is perfectly aligned and optimally utilized. 
 
“We have a fairly straightforward approach to what can be seen as a complex issue,” adds Yvan. “We eliminate risk and inefficiencies for customers when delivering new or adapted automated warehouse solutions, but it often takes face-to-face opportunities to really demonstrate this in more definitive terms. That’s why it’s great to have a local presence in this rapidly developing market.” 
 
Swisslog’s new office will reside in Tlalnepantla alongside parent company, KUKA, at Progreso #8, Los Reyes Industrial, Tlalnepantla, 54073, Edo.  De Mexico, Mexico. For more information contact the office at +52 55 41257070 or visit www.swisslog.com/LA.

New Big Joe walkie reach and J2 Joey coming in January

0
0
Big Lift LLC - the makers of Big Joe equipment, will be launching two new lift truck models this January based on emerging material handling trends in North America.  These new models will include a walkie reach truck with power steering called the PDSR, and the next model in its Joey series of vehicles - the J2 low level order picker.
 
The Big Joe PDSR will have a 3,000lb load capacity with lift heights available up to 157” at launch and will include power steering, sideshift, integral tilt, and proportional controls for lift, lower, extend & retract as standard.  The new PDSR is an AC powered vehicle whose driveline delivers both lengthy run times and low cost operation, while its compact chassis allows the unit to perform a wide variety of material handling tasks in small spaces.  Optional equipment available at launch will include several straddle and wheel options as well as a choice of three masts, a 104” and 126” two-stage, and a 157” triple.
 
Also launching in January is the Big Joe J2 Joey low level order picker which will feature a 2,000lb total vehicle capacity and the ability to lift 1,500lbs pallets up to 72”.  The J2 Joey will include power steering, an ergonomic mini-mast, and an industrial battery compartment as standard.  Options for the vehicle will include a choice of guard rail mounted or front mounted controls pending the needs of an application and an optional overhead guard upon request.  At MODEX 2016 in Atlanta, Big Joe will be showcasing both the J2 and PDSR on the show floor as well as three more products planned for launch later in the year as part of an ongoing product development initiative.
 
Big Lift LLC believes that due to the proliferation of small store formats and the growth of ecommerce, strains to traditional fulfillment operations are occurring that require new innovative products like the J2 Joey and PDSR.  “Whether at a store location, cross-dock, warehouse or in-between; new equipment is needed that is simple, capable and intuitive to operate, which is exactly what we are developing to”, said Bill Pedriana the Director of Sales for Big Lift LLC.  “With the PDSR we are providing exceptional flexibility with one piece of equipment for places like retail stores, and with the J2 we are delivering a low level order picking vehicle perfectly suited to changes we see in fulfillment at the store level and contemporary distribution centers”, continued Pedriana.
 
About Big Lift LLC
Big Lift’s, Big Joe brand of material handling equipment has been the standard of quality for over 60 years in factories, warehouses and store-rooms across the USA and around the world. Big Joe walkie stackers, pallet trucks, and order pickers are well known for their efficient designs that provide high utility at low cost when matched to a specific application.

The DPD Group UK has chosen sorting, distribution and conveyor equipment from the BEUMER Group for its new superhub in Hinckley

0
0
The international parcel and express service provider DPD has opened a new superhub in Hinckley in the southwest of Leicestershire, England. The purpose is to meet the increasing demand for its services and be prepared for future growth. The new distribution center is able to handle up to 720,000 parcels a day. To achieve this capacity, the company installed innovative sorting, distribution and conveyor equipment from the BEUMER Group over a length of three kilometers.
 
The new Hub 4 of the DPD Group UK just recently went into operation. BEUMER delivered and installed three BS 25 ET parcel sorters with a total length of 2,700 meters. It also installed two BS 7 BT sorters totaling 270 meters in length for small items, plus feed-in units with induction lines, end-point conveyors and two carousel systems for goods that cannot be put on conveyors. Cameras and scanners with downstream OCR and video coding reduce the number of no-reads on the sorters to a minimum. In order to optimally direct material flows, BEUMER equipped the system with the modular BG software suite. The BG Fusion user interface provides users with access to all available data without having to switch between different applications. The interface also includes a comprehensive statistics package.
 
Installation and commissioning took only 18 months. Thus DPD was able to connect the Superhub 4 to its national distribution network almost two months earlier than agreed in the contract. On its first day of operation the system sorted 92,000 packages and parcels. The number will go up to more than 500,000 per shift when the startup phase is completed, making the hub ready for the peak season at Christmas.
 
The new Hub 4 is 470 meters long and almost 40 meters wide. There are 264 loading ramps. The sorting equipment is designed so that packages leave the building three to seven minutes after entering it. Employees in the outgoing goods area load them manually onto trucks or semitrailers.
 
Dwain McDonald, CEO of DPD: “Everyone involved contributed to the success of this project. We have invested systematically in our network. The superhub will give us plenty of space to expand in the years ahead and respond to the growing need for our services.”
 
“We are glad to have helped DPD implement its expansion plans in the English market,” says Martin Mossinkoff, director with global responsibility for the BEUMER Group’s Logistics Systems Division. “We’ve worked very successfully with the DPD Group UK for ten years and are happy to have this close business relationship.” The BEUMER Group also delivered and installed sorting and distribution equipment for Hubs 2 and 3.
 
The BEUMER Group is an international leader in the manufacture of intralogistics systems for conveying, loading, palletising, packaging, sortation and distribution. Together with Crisplant a/s and Enexco Teknologies India Limited, the BEUMER Group employs 4,000 people worldwide, and achieves an annual turnover of about 680 million EUR. With its subsidiaries and sales agencies, the BEUMER Group serves customers around the globe, across a wide range of industries. For further information visit: www.beumergroup.com.

viastore launches SAP supply chain execution implementation practice

0
0
viastore, a leading material handling automation systems and software company, announced that the company has begun an SAP implementation practice in North America. The company has had a similar practice in Europe since 1996 and is now expanding it to North America.
 
With this new North American practice, viastore will deliver best in class SAP-based Supply Chain Execution & Warehouse Management solutions. The new initiative will be led by Harouna Mohamadou, who recently joined viastore’s North American operations in the newly-created position of Director SAP Consulting. “The mission is to leverage our extensive SAP supply chain expertise and help increase the competitiveness of our customers by implementing SAP best practices,” said Mohamadou. “One of our core objectives is to provide consultation, implementation and optimization services for manual and automated warehouses to our customers.”
 
viastore is one of the pioneers capable of integrating different warehouse automation solutions directly to SAP EWM or SAP LES/TRM without third party middleware.
 
“Many companies have SAP, but aren’t fully utilizing the supply chain modules,” said Mohamadou. “With the EWM and WM modules, for example, we can extend the use of those modules, streamline and speed up the execution as well as reporting, and allow customers to ultimately get more out of their existing solution.” Beyond extending the functionality of the EWM and WM modules of SAP, viastore can also fully implement the complete SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) and SAP LES (ERP-based WM) solutions.
 
viastore’s viadat standard product, multi-lingual WMS/WCS software suite has a certified integration to SAP and is installed in hundreds of sites across the globe. The viastore/SAP integrated solution gives customers a supply chain execution solution tailored to fit their needs while still utilizing SAP.
 
“With our combination of automation, supply chain experience and software offerings, viastore can provide a well-founded and technology-neutral consultation to customers, added Mohamadou. “End users will achieve shorter throughput times, higher efficiency and processing reliability, reduced inventory, and increased picking and improved customer order quality. In a nutshell, as automation and SAP specialists we guarantee a best fit solution for your automated or semi-automated warehouse independent of the automation technology chosen.”
 
About viastore
For over 40 years, viastore has been a leading international provider of automated material handling solutions including AS/RS (automated storage and retrieval systems) and conveyor systems, warehouse management systems software, material flow and process controls, and integrated SAP logistics solutions. The company employs over 450 people worldwide and has annual sales of over $135 Million.

Bulk Material Handling Price Estimating Tool to Compare Rail-Veyor® with Conveyors & Truck Haulage

0
0
Pricing bulk material handling solutions in the mining and aggregate industries are oftentimes subjective. Stakeholders at times use different parameters for each system to formulate an approximate OPEX / CAPEX when comparing Rail-Veyor®, conveyors and truck haulage. At times, these methods leave planners frustrated and unsure of their findings. Rail-Veyor® has created a material handling price estimating tool that improves a company’s ability to quickly estimate the costs, savings and return on investment that a Rail-Veyor® system can provide. 
 
“This price estimating tool gives customers a do-it-yourself, quick and easy way to get a ball park idea of the OPEX and CAPEX benefits that a Rail-Veyor® system can provide and enables management the ability to compare with the life cycle costs of other systems like conveyors and haulage trucks,” comments Frank Ward, VP of Sales & Marketing for Rail-Veyor® Technologies Global Inc. 
 
The pricing tool offers these benefits: 
  • ? Quickly obtain the information you need without picking up the phone 
  • ? Compare and price various Rail-Veyor® material handling systems using various lengths, grades and tonnages 
  • ? Create an estimation to review with management 
  • ? More precise budget planning prior to project approval 
Ward comments, “At times there are reasons that companies don’t want to ask for an official material handling quote at the onset of a project such as the project is not yet approved, the project may be confidential in nature, etc. However, our experience is that sometimes these customers can get all the way to the point of having approved budgets that are based upon loose, inaccurate rules of thumb and that’s dangerous for the company who may be losing out on a better solution to fit their needs. The Rail-Veyor® price estimating tool is a great tool to prevent this,” adds Ward. 
 
Instead of utilizing high level estimations based on historical prorated pricing, planners (that are not ready to engage a sales team) can utilize this pricing tool. This tool allows planners to design and price systems generally using standard parameters. As the economic justification of a project gains approvals, companies can approach Rail-Veyor® for a more detailed and customized quote to meet the project’s specific design and/or operational needs.

•       AeroVironment to provide reliable and easy-to-use EV charging stations in Hyundai dealerships
 
•       Hyundai becomes the seventh major auto manufacturer to choose AeroVironment as its preferred dealer charging station provider
 
•       Hyundai drivers have the option to purchase AeroVironment's portable TurboCord charging system or its wall-mounted EVSE-RS charging station
 
Hyundai Motor America has selected AeroVironment, Inc. (NASDAQ:AVAV) as the preferred provider for charging system installation at its dealerships across North America for its all-new 2016 Hyundai Sonata Plug-in Hybrid.  Hyundai is the seventh plug-in electric vehicle (EV) auto manufacturer to choose AeroVironment as one of its suppliers.
 
The 2016 Sonata Plug-in Hybrid comes with a high-capacity lithium-polymer hybrid battery system that delivers an all-electric range of 27 miles before switching to hybrid mode. The Sonata Plug-in Hybrid also comes with a lifetime hybrid battery warranty. 
 
The AeroVironment 240-volt TurboCord and the EVSE-RS charging station can charge the Sonata Plug-in Hybrid in less than three hours versus the approximate nine hours needed using a standard 120-volt charging cable.  AeroVironment's UL-listed products can be installed indoors or outdoors, making it easy to locate the station in the most convenient location.

It makes charging a car as easy as charging a cell phone," said Ken Karklin, AeroVironment senior vice president and general manager of its Efficient Energy Systems business segment.  "AeroVironment's portfolio of EV charging solutions gives the Hyundai Sonata Plug-in Hybrid and other EVs the benefits and convenience of faster charging and cleaner driving at home and on the road."

Mallard Manufacturing Introduces Pallet Jack Access Ramp for Pallet Flow Save Time and Steps in Picking and Staging Areas

0
0
Mallard Manufacturing Corporation, leading manufacturer of gravity flow solutions, announces its newest accessory, the Pallet Jack Access Ramp for Pallet Flow.  This product marries two commonly used tools in most warehouses: the pallet jack and floor-mounted pallet flow.  Normally pallet flow is accessed via fork truck, but being able to use the nimble pallet jack in conjunction with pallet flow can lead to increased efficiencies in product staging areas and elsewhere in the warehouse. Constructed using heavy-duty galvanized material, this simple yet effective tool provides a quick, easy and affordable solution for the pallet jack operator to access the floor mounted pallet flow.
 
“We designed the ramp as a tool for customers that recognized floor-mounted pallet flow in product staging areas just made good sense.  What we’ve realized is that we can put this system to work in assembly, dock, staging, in-process and other work areas as well,” says Kevin Risch, President of Mallard Manufacturing.
 
Ramps are created with a “textured grip” surface that prevents pallet jacks from accessing the system too quickly or the operator from slipping while entering or extracting the pallet.
 
Benefits of Floor-Mounted Pallet Flow
  • Reduces the number of forklifts and operators vs. bulk stacking
  • Provides better space utilization – fewer aisles needed
  • Reduces travel time – vehicles travel to staging lanes vs. full distance
  • Maintains proper (FIFO) inventory rotation – critical for dated goods and food products
  • Eliminates chaos and contention in dock area by separating order staging and put-away
Benefits- Pallet Jack Access Ramps for Pallet Flow
  • Enables quick access to flow lanes from load or pick side
  • Frees up forklifts for order picking operations
About Mallard Manufacturing - Founded in 1960, Mallard Manufacturing Company is a leading international resource for the design and development of quality engineered gravity flow, pallet flow and carton flow systems.  From a single bay of carton flow shelving to deep lane pallet flow and complex pick modules, Mallard’s team of gravity flow experts develop custom solutions to solve the toughest material flow challenges.  Centrally located in Illinois USA, Mallard’s production facilities are equipped to handle project requirements of any size and scope.

Employer branding at BEUMER Group: A very attractive employer

0
0
Skilled personnel are hard to find, not only in Germany. The reasons for this are rooted, among other things, in demographic development. The job market is becoming more emotion-based. Soft skills such as team play and communication, and values like work-life balance and self-realisation are becoming more and more important. Another decisive factor is the business location: the more rural the area is, the harder it is to attract new employees. Urban areas on the other hand face a different problem: potential employers are more likely to "fight" over the most talented applicants (often called a "war for talents"). Located in the Münsterland, a region that is known for its mechanical engineering industry, BEUMER Group offers exciting perspectives and an attractive work environment, especially for young professionals. This is what BEUMER Group's employer branding campaign is directed at.
 
What makes for an attractive employer? An attractive salary is no longer enough to hire skilled personnel. Especially young professionals have become more selective. At BEUMER Group, the employee always comes first. "Our goal is not the short term profit, but long term success, and this is only possible with motivated and highly-skilled colleagues", says Dr. Christoph Beumer, Chairman and CEO of BEUMER Group. "We can only achieve customer satisfaction and successfully meet the challenges of our competition, if we integrate the entire team sustainably into our company", he explains. The company has been ranked one of the best employers in Germany, according to an extensive study from FOCUS news magazine. Through the social internet platforms XING and kununu, FOCUS questioned more than 70,000 employees from different hierarchy and age levels. 806 companies with more than 500 employees were evaluated from 22 industries.
 
"Would you recommend working for your company to your friends and to people you know?", and "How satisfied are you with the managerial skills of your superior?", were two of many questions that the German employees at BEUMER Group answered in the company's favour. The family-run company ranked third place in this category, in comparison with other medium-sized companies with up to 2,000 employees. The intralogistics specialist achieved eighth place in the industry comparison of "machine and plant design" and was 85th amongst all 806 companies.
 
International leading position helps BEUMER stand apart from the crowd
This ranking can certainly also be attributed to the fact that BEUMER Group holds a leading position in the world market for this industry, and has experienced very high growth rates over the past couple of years. With innovative systems for intralogistics in conveying and loading technology, palletising and packaging technology as well as sortation and distribution systems, the company earned an excellent international reputation. Additionally, BEUMER Group continues to successfully seize globalisation opportunities.
 
Its headquarters, however, are not in Berlin, Munich or Düsseldorf, but in Beckum. A town with about 37,000 inhabitants, located in the northern part of North Rhine-Westphalia. It has a lot to offer: historic sites in beautiful surroundings, with a wide variety of recreational offerings and sports activities. The rural area, however, is also a challenge, that many middle-sized companies have to face. This is not only the case in Beckum, but at several of its international locations as well, so BEUMER Group is opting for a world-wide employer branding strategy. With this strategy, the company wants to face the challenges that come with demographic change and skills shortage and present itself actively as an attractive employer on the job market. BEUMER Group puts the emphasis on their employees. The campaign goal is to demonstrate what the intralogistics company is all about: their people.
 
 
Focus on the employee
BEUMER Group is an internationally successful, family-owned company, where employees play a very crucial role. Through their individual performance, every employee contributes to the overall success of the company. And to achieve this, the employer and employee must focus on the same set of values. This is what characterises the BEUMER Group spirit. But what is important to the employees? Have the demands on employers changed? To find out, the group handed out questionnaires at the different group locations and from the answers derived the core messages for the campaign. In order to bring the attention of young professionals towards BEUMER Group, the initiative will be accompanied by billboards, radio spots and the newly designed career website www.beumergroup.com/karriere.de. Employees are giving insights about themselves, the company and the attractive work environment, where the focus is on the employee.
 
Career goal: qualified employee
BEUMER Group devotes particular attention to the development of its own junior staff. To students who are about to write their bachelor or master thesis, the company offers exciting topics of practical relevance in an international environment, accompanied by the intensive support of experienced colleagues. BEUMER Group offers topics for theses in the fields of automation technology, engineering, sales, and research and development. During their time with the company, the students get to know the business, and BEUMER Group gets to know potential junior employees. Students who already graduated in engineering, economics or computer science can also start their career directly with BEUMER Group.
 
They also have the chance to participate in an international trainee program. Its goal is to prepare graduates for responsible specialist and leadership positions in the company. They move through a two-year development program in Sales, Engineering, Customer Support or the Commercial department. The first months are started at the group company location where the graduate is hired. In order to broaden their personal and professional horizon they are then sent abroad for several months, followed by a working period in a different department. They then complete an additional phase in another international group location, and finish their program at their home group. The trainees are accompanied by a mentor who provides feedback at regular intervals. The participants take an integral role in important projects. Moreover, BEUMER Group offers the program graduate a permanent contract. Christian Penger passed such a program, and is now the director of Corporate Management: "The program offers college graduates a great start into the professional world, combined with international experience. By working in many different parts of the company, a trainee can quickly set up his own network and get to know the respective contacts in the company. During my period as a graduate, I learned at an early stage that taking over responsibility is more than just a slogan."
 
BEUMER Group is an international manufacturing leader in intralogistics in the fields of conveying, loading, palletising, packaging, sortation and distribution technology. Together with Crisplant a/s and Enexco Teknologies India Limited, BEUMER Group employed some 4,000 people in 2014. The group generated an annual turnover of approximately 680 million euros. With its subsidiaries and sales agencies, BEUMER Group is present in many industries worldwide. For more information visit www.beumergroup.com.

Inther automates warehouse American Dental Trading

American Dental Trading (ADT), which is the largest provider of dental supplies within the Benelux, is automating their existing warehouse in Oisterwijk (the Netherlands). ADT has chosen system integrator Inther Logistics Engineering BV as their partner.
 
The new system, which still has to be built, will consist out of a Stingray shuttle system (38 shuttles) with goods-to-man workplaces, pick-by-light workstations and pick-to-light carts. These different picking techniques are used to collect the wide range of items within the warehouse. After all the different articles have been collected, they will be consolidated in the semi-automatic packing stations, after which they will be prepared for transport using a sorter.
 
Inther will start with the implementation in the spring, after which ADT will start using the system in mid-2016.
