Vanderlande to showcase wide range of innovations at LogiMAT 2016

0
0
Vanderlande's exhibits at LogiMAT 2016 will focus on warehouse automation in the food, parts and components, fashion, and e-commerce markets. This year's featured products will be a relevant selection from the company’s extensive range of innovative, ergonomic solutions and it will showcase the following concepts on stand 1J21 in Hall 1.
 
Food
ACP (Automated Case Picking)
Food retailers have to manage conflicts arising from the different value creation chains in stores and distribution centres. Optimisation often has an adverse effect on these chains for distribution centres, and vice versa.
 
Vanderlande's ACP concept creates a perfect balance between opposing goals in the value creation chain. It also helps food retailers to optimise the customer experience, ergonomics, and reduce CO2 emissions and costs. The company’s ACP solution allows for modular growth and parallel activities, which guarantee availability.
 
Parts and components
ADAPTO – the first 3D shuttle concept
Increasing labour costs, limited space and many small orders with short delivery times are just some of the challenges facing warehouses and distribution centres. This means there is a continuous search for solutions to reduce operating costs, increase productivity, maximise space and offer an elevated level of service.
 
ADAPTO is the next logical step in flexible warehouse automation. It is a storage, retrieval and transport concept that offers unique flexibility and availability, enabling warehouses to optimise their service levels.
 
PICK@EASE – value-added services for multipurpose use ADAPTO is offered in combination with the highly ergonomic PICK@EASE workstations. The introduction of PICK@EASE to the market several years ago was proof of Vanderlande’s pioneering position within the industry.
 
It commissioned a TÜV Nord-certified study that looked into the influences and effects of different concepts on body movements, posture, muscle groups, circulation and mental aspects. The results were then incorporated into Vanderlande’s goods-to-person picking systems. PICK@EASE workstations have been designed to cope with a range of functions and enable value-added services.
 
Fashion and e-commerce
AIRTRAX – the modular, flexible and convenient hanging goods concept
AIRTRAX is an innovative and reliable concept for transporting, sorting and storing hanging goods. It delivers benefits throughout any operation, allowing significant volumes of goods to be moved over long distances while coping with changing elevations and complex paths.
 
It is effective for high-frequency environments, including for example: goods on hangers specifically developed for the fashion industry; the pocket sorter solution suitable for handling non-hanging items and returns; and the carton carrier solution for efficient and user-friendly transportation.
 
AIRTRAX contains one base on to which all types of carrier modules are fitted to facilitate various functions and enable 3D movements so that existing warehouse capacity can be optimised. It is the first 100% friction-driven concept on the market. AIRTRAX runs without the interruptions associated with traditional chains and fewer controls are required. It is also free from tensioning, which results in longer service intervals and no dirt is transferred to the goods.

Automating Packing Slips Even Easier with TwinPrint® Mod 6

0
0
FOX IV Technologies' award winning TwinPrint® automated packing slip/shipping label system just got even better.  The NEW Mod6 version incorporates several new features that make using and maintaining the TwinPrint® even easier!  
 
The new Mod 6 has added a redesigned label path, which eliminates a series of rollers, to provide easier label loading and reduction of label memory. This allows operators to quickly reload labels for an overall reduction in downtime. The TwinPrint® Mod6 also features a simpler calibration method that enables calibration of both the top and bottom print engine as well as an improved air control system for faster cylinder cycling times. 
 
In addition to these external new features, FOX IV has simplified the electronics and mechanics for easier servicing and maintenance.
 
"The TwinPrint® has always been a great solution for automating the shipping label/packing slip process," says Rick Fox III, FOX IV's Director of Engineering.  "With the new features in the Mod6, we have redesigned specific elements based on customer feedback to provide a solution that is even easier for to use, service and maintain."  
 
As with previous versions, the new TwinPrint® Mod 6 provides a cost effective, efficient system that prints both the shipping label and a covert packing slip onto one label.  This eliminates up to 60% of label liner waste as well as the additional costs of separate packing slips, plastic pouches, and the labor involved in preparing the packing slip.  The TwinPrint® Mod6 is available for use with our standard TwinPrint® labels, Duplexpackslip® labels or NCR's 2ST™ labels, for ribbon-less, data secure, applications.
 
Key benefits include: 
  • Reduced Downtime:  With simpler label paths, improved electronics and mechanics, faster cylinder cycling, and reduced label memory, the TwinPrint® Mod6 increases production rates and equipment uptime. 
  • More Cost Effective:  TwinPrint® printer-applicators eliminate separate packing slips or promotional pieces and packing slip envelopes, increases production time by combining two processes in one, and eliminate errors due to information mismatches.
  • Less Waste:  TwinPrint® printer-applicators eliminate up to 60% of label liner waste. They also eliminate the cost of plastic packing slip envelopes as well as the waste generated from their liners.
  • Greater Data Security:  When a ribbon is used, the information printed with the ribbon is visible on the spent ribbon.  TwinPrint® Print and Apply with 2ST™ technology printer-applicators eliminate the ribbon thereby eliminating the risk that customer information can be stolen by reading the used thermal transfer ribbon.  Additionally, matching the shipping information to packing slip information is guaranteed.
The TwinPrint® Mod6 will be demonstrated live at MODEX 2016 Booth #2337.
 
FOX IV Technologies, Inc., has been an innovator in the automated labeling and coding industry for over 30 years.  They offer a full line of label printers and applicators, ribbons, labels, enclosures, printing supplies and services, material handling equipment and software solutions in order to provide fully integrated turnkey automated identification systems.  Additionally, FOX IV is a full service label converter with the ability to provide blank labels for secondary labeling as well as partial printed and full-color printed primary labels.  With both equipment and supply expertise, FOX IV is known internationally for innovative designs, quality construction and customized solutions.

Barcoding, Inc. to Provide a #SupplyChainGeek Experience at Modex 2016

0
0
Barcoding, Inc., a leader in supply chain efficiency, accuracy, and connectivity, invites Modex 2016 attendees to join the company for a #SupplyChainGeek experience. During the trade show, Barcoding will provide hands-on, live demonstrations of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) asset beacons at booth #4973 and host two speaking sessions. Modex is slated for April 4-7, at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta.
 
By participating in Barcoding’s “Pick to Pose” demonstration, Modex attendees can see how asset beacons enable “pick to light” processes. Using BLE, asset beacons allow enterprises to track physical inventory in near-real time by turning assets into tiny sensors. These sensors continuously transmit information about each item’s presence, temperature and movement so that users know the exact location of their inventory.
 
At booth #4973, attendees will find several mystery boxes, each containing a fun hat to wear in Barcoding’s photo booth. Using Barcoding’s mobile application, participants will select one of the boxes. The beacon on the corresponding box will light up, guiding the attendee to their hat. Finally, the participant will wear the hat and snap a picture inside the photo booth. The photo will provide admission to Barcoding’s #SupplyChainGeek Mix and Mingle on Tuesday, April 5.
 
“Barcoding’s Modex booth is no ordinary tradeshow booth – it is a launching pad to efficiency, accuracy, and connectivity,” said Jay Steinmetz, CEO, Barcoding, Inc. “We invite Modex attendees to stop by to meet our experts and me, learn firsthand about asset beacons and other auto ID technology, as well as connect and share with other #SupplyChainGeeks.”
 
In addition to its live demonstration, Barcoding will host two speaking sessions:
“How to Implement a Continuous Improvement Program”
Presented by Chase Sowden, supply chain architect
Monday, April 4
12:45 – 1:30 p.m. (ET)

Panther manufactures the highest performance, "best in class" print and apply label applicators, including the Panther P8e, an all-electric tamp application that achieves the industry's fastest label print/tamp cycle performance and accurate label placement technology.
 
Numina Group’s software and labeling expertise reduces manual labor in manufacturing, warehouse and distribution order fulfillment, and shipping operations. Print and apply label applicators are essentially low-cost robots used to automate printing and application of labels. Distribution applications include inbound receiving, outbound compliance labeling, shipment labeling and manifesting of parcels for USPS, UPS, FedEx or LTL carriers.
 
Numina's solutions combine in-motion barcode scanning, weighing, dimensioning and labeling with real-time software to automate pick, pack, and ship order fulfillment applications. Print and Apply labeling automates pack and ship applications by combining shipping document print and insertion with auto applying the shipping label to streamline the entire order fulfillment operation.
 
"The performance and reliability of Panther's print and apply line complements our automation solutions," explains Dan Hanrahan, President of Numina Group. "We like suppliers with a passion for excellence in performance, reliability, and ease of maintenance. When customers invest in automation, they require highly reliable equipment. It is critical that the conveyor and automation equipment is rock solid, designed to operate 24/7," he added.
 
Panther Industries shares Numina Group's philosophy, and builds high quality applicators with a plug and play off the shelf industrial components. Their applicators use high performance Ethernet/IP and Modbus over Ethernet intelligent controls that easily integrate to Numina's Real-time Distribution System, RDS-WCS labeling automation applications.
 
An excellent example of this is Panther’s P8e “All Electric” print and apply labeling system used in Numina's One Step™ pack sheet and shipping label automation solutions. One Step™ is a modular labeling automation solution for streamlining packing, shipping, and manifesting. It typically reduces 5 or more operator workstations in B-to-B and E-Commerce manual packing and shipping distribution applications.
 
One Step™ automatically scans, weighs, dimensions, and prints and applies a combination 8.5” x 11” packing sheet and carrier shipping label in a single step, eliminating manual labor by automating and validating that the correct documentation is applied to each shipment to eliminate sources of errors, boost productivity, and increase accuracy in E-commerce and B to B distribution operations.

COMBI OFFERS SOLUTIONS TAILORED TO THE CRAFT BREWERY INDUSTRY

After closely following the explosive growth in the craft brewery industry, Combi has designed a packaging machine that will allow brewers to maintain their hand craftsmanship while reducing labor costs and increasing throughput associated with getting their product to distributors and retail shelves.  
 
"We took the time to interview brewers from around the country and listened to their pain points.  One of the most tedious tasks for the brewers is hand erecting their four and six pack carriers and the master shipping cases.  This requires a large amount of labor and a large amount of space when most facilities are filled with processing equipment.   In line with our focus on industry specific solutions, we have developed a multi-functioning machine that erects 4 and 6 pack carriers; erects the RSC master case; then case packs the carriers, creating a bottle ready case.” said John Fisher, CEO and President of Combi Packaging Systems LLC.
 
See the BrewPack in operation in booth 535 at the BrewExpo America in Philadelphia May 4-6, or go to www.combi.com/brew.   Also on display will be the Ergopack® ergonomic hand packing station customized with a six pack carrier dispenser and recirculating conveyor for semi-automatic bottle case packing.  Both levels of automation will enhance productivity on bottle case packing lines.      
 
About Combi Packaging Systems LLC
Combi Packaging Systems LLC is a leading U.S. manufacturer of end-of-line packaging equipment, with more than 36 years’ service in case erectors, case sealers, case packers, tray formers, ergonomic hand-packing stations, robotic case packers and case labelers.  Combi Packaging Systems LLC was formed as a joint venture between 3M and The MJ Maillis Group in 1999.
