Monorail Manufacturers Association Publishes Information Sheet to Complement Video

0
0
The leading authority on underhung cranes and monorail systems, Monorail Manufacturers Association (MMA), has published an information sheet to supplement a video recently posted online to raise awareness of the independent incorporated trade association affiliated with the Material Handling Industry (MHI).
 
MMA members, which produce the preponderance of patented and enclosed track underhung cranes and monorail systems, hope the two-page document, underscored with a tagline, ‘MMA—keeping industry on track for over 80 years’, will combine with the video to engage target audiences by outlining the benefits of the group.
 
Rob Beightol, president of MMA, said: “The five-minute video contains more detail than the information sheet and is designed to be the primary vehicle to showcase the MMA. However, many member companies may need something that can be left with a user or ergonomics professional that provides top-level information about the group. We believe members will utilize the information sheet as a means to promote the benefits of dealing with an MMA company.”
 
The video and information sheet are being jointly promoted by the Overhead Alliance, a marketing vehicle representing the collective interests of trade association MHI’s product groups, Crane Manufacturers Association of America (CMAA), Hoist Manufacturers Institute (HMI) and MMA. The document includes bite-sized references to the MMA-Certified program in addition to ANSI, OSHA and more.
 
Beightol said: “We aim to position the MMA as a premier source for information on overhead material handling, and want users to understand how widespread our reach is within industry and safety groups. All of the organizations and certifications that we address have tremendous significance on their own, and we wanted to highlight some of the ways in which the MMA is involved.”
 
Like the video, the supplementary sheet details the differences between patented track and enclosed track systems, explaining when each should be applied to material handling situations. In the document, two illustrations from the video explain the weight and type of load suited to each technology. For effectively transporting loads up to 40 tons in a productive and safe manner, patented track systems are suitable, it says, while the unique design of enclosed track systems provide smooth movement and low rolling resistance when handling loads up to two tons, it adds.
 
Beightol concluded: “Users have a choice in the type of company that they deal with when creating an overhead lifting solution. We want users to realize that working with MMA members means that they are dealing with companies that they can trust to address their issues and provide the best all-around choice based on considerable expertise within the industry. We hope that users feel secure in dealing with our group due to the longevity of the organization. There are not many organizations within material handling that have been addressing the needs of users for this length of time.”

GREENE, N.Y., May 17, 2016 — The latest integrated scale hand pallet truck from Lift-Rite® maximizes accuracy and efficiency. Ideally suited for large-scale delivery, distribution and pharmaceutical applications, the new legal for trade (LFT) hand pallet truck provides a lower-cost opportunity to make warehouse and delivery operations more flexible. The truck is convenient to move between docks to avoid congestion and provides a quick backup should a facility’s in-floor scale require maintenance. 

The scale truck achieves LFT status by using a total of four certified load cells to generate data with a percentage of error of just 1 pound for loads up to 3,000 pounds and 2 pounds for loads between 3,000 and 5,000 pounds. Additionally, the truck is able to provide a thermal on-board printer, a quick lift pump and exchangeable/rechargeable battery. Functions include gross net weighing, automatic and manual tare, totaling with sequence of loads, and piece counting and can be programmed from pounds to kilograms. 

“The new Lift-Rite LFT scale hand pallet was designed to provide users the flexibility to maneuver product, weigh and document a load with the confidence of a certified unit, anywhere in their facility, ultimately eliminating time wasted by using a stationary floor scale,” said 

Shannon Curtis, product manager with Lift-Rite. “It’s a durable jack, the certified load cells combined with the thermal on-board printer add versatility to help warehouses and distribution centers stay productive.” 

Customers ordering the new Lift-Rite LFT scale truck usually can expect to receive orders within 10 days. For more information on the Lift-Rite LFT scale truck or to locate a dealer, visit liftrite.com or call 800-558-6012.

May 17, 2016 

MENOMONEE FALLS, WI—NOVA Technology introduces its new Lock-Up vehicle restraint.  The patent pending NOVA Lock-Up vehicle restraint is designed to secure an intermodal container chassis or trailer to a loading dock by engaging the Rear Impact Guard (RIG) with a vertical barrier operated by a control panel mounted inside the building.  The Roller Slope Extension is designed to decrease resistance of carriage travel while it is adjusting to the height of the RIG on the trailer thereby saving wear on the RIG, carriage and pavement.  Engagement range extends from 9-30 inches above the ground.  A spring-loaded, structural steel housing automatically positions the unit when contacted by a backing truck.  Mounts to dock above ground level to stay clear of accumulated precipitation and debris.  Protected from the elements with watertight connectors and zinc plating, which provides exceptional corrosion resistance. 

 The NOVA Lock-Up offers more versatility than a rotating hook, providing security in restraining a wider variety of vehicles and offers unique features and benefits:

Exclusive Lifting Mechanism
- Utilizes an over-center device which maintains engagement even in the event of a power failure—no brake, clutch or battery pack needed.
- Brakeless, direct drive gear motor specifically engineered for this application—no need for adjustments, requires less maintenance—means more robust durability for the drive system.

Gear Motor
- Utilizes multiple powertrain components to distribute stress and optimize velocities, maximizing long-term durability.
- Operates on electrical current only when engaging or disengaging the vertical barrier with the RIG, resulting in more reliable operation.

Roller Slope Extension
- Eliminates gouging/marking on the dock approach compared to “skid” style slope extensions.

Exclusive NOVA Lock-Up features and benefits:

- The Lock-Up restraint maintains contact with the RIG and adjusts automatically with trailer float motion to ensure proper engagement at all times during the loading and unloading process
- Patent pending activation system ensures RIG/barrier engagement when electrical power is lost
- Brakeless, direct drive gear motor specifically engineered for this application—no brake, clutch, sprockets,  chain or adjustments required
- Engagement range active from 9-30 inches above the ground
- Meets and exceeds ANSI MH30.3 requirements, tested and certified
- Designed to withstand more than 38,000 lbs of pulling force
- Unit has corrosion-resistant zinc plating to weather the toughest of climates
- Slim profile carriage design reduces the risk of collision damage to the Lock-Up and truck trailers
- Warranty up to 5 years

Since 1986, NOVA Technology has brought innovation and reliability to the loading dock equipment industry with a full line of effective, durable and user friendly products.  The company’s product portfolio encompasses a comprehensive series of vehicle restraints, mechanical, air powered and hydraulic dock levelers, edge-of-dock levelers, dock seals and shelters, safety barrier products, and other loading dock accessories to improve safety, productivity, security and environmental control.

EGEMIN TO AUTOMATE PLASTIC PACKAGING COMPANY’S MATERIAL HANDLING WITH E’GV® COMPACT & E’WMS®

HOLLAND, MI—A plastic packaging manufacturer of “Smart Packaging” for healthcare and food products in operation since 1955 has elected to utlize Egemin’s E’gv® Compact Counterbalance Fork vehicles and E’wms® for finished goods material handling.

Egemin Automation was chosen by the Smart Packaging manufacturer because of the labor savings they can attain using E’gv® Compact vehicles, as well as for increased safety in the facility due to using E’gv® Compact vehicles instead of manually driven trucks. Since the complexity of the moves the vehicles will be completing is very low, personnel can complete value-added tasks instead of simple and repetitive material handling moves.

Smart Packaging extends shelf life, can monitor product freshness, and improve product safety, amongst other capabilities—and Egemin’s E’wms® is a perfect match because of the tracking & tracing module. Tracking & Tracing will allow the system to always chose the FIFO product, which reduces waste for the Smart Packaging company and ensures their customers always have the best quality product possible. E’wms®, Egemin’s warehouse mangement system, is customized for storage and location optimization, allowing for the best work flows possible from the E’gv®s. The vehicles will shuttle finished materials from packaging to storage. The vehicles will handle two different pallet types & sizes and move materials in three product areas in the facility. E’wms® will interface with the facility’s SAP system and control storage locations, quality status, vehicle systems, and transports in the facility. Installation of the system will occur in Q3 2016.

Schmalz nominated for Hermes Award 2016

0
0

Major success for the vacuum specialists Schmalz from Glatten: As one of only five companies, the company achieved a prestigious place on the list of nominees for the Hermes Award. The “Oscars for engineers” is one of the most important innovation prizes for the industry globally. The prize was awarded on April 24 at the opening ceremony of the Hanover trade show in the presence of Chancellor Angela Merkel and US President Barack Obama. 

Numerous companies had applied, and around 40 percent of the participants came from abroad. With the vacuum and pressure switch VSi, Schmalz submitted a product innovation which creates completely new possibilities for automated handling processes: Users receive important data on their smartphone or tablet directly from the switch processor. Schmalz uses NFC technology (Near Field Communication) for this, which Apple, for example, uses for its smartphone payment function. 

“The nomination for the distinguished Hermes Award has great significance for us: Our innovative products from today are ultimately the basis for tomorrow’s success. We are delighted that we could prevail with the new generation of vacuum switches in this top-class field of participants,” Dr. Kurt Schmalz, managing director, said. Professor Wolfgang Wahlster, CEO of the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI) and member of the Nobel Prize academy was jury chair. 

With the vacuum and pressure switch VSi Schmalz brings the advantages of smartphones and tablets together with industrial manufacturing. Data such as serial number, process settings or the operating instructions can be read directly on the system’s site via NFC (Near Field Communication) – after a few seconds, without cables or additional power connection, with a user-friendly display, and on a device that has long been an essential part non-professional life. The user, for example the operator of a press in an automotive plant, holds their smartphone or tablet at a close distance to the switch. If there is a fault, an easy-to-understand report appears on the display. In addition, the employee is given information on the potential causes, and troubleshooting measures. This saves not only time but above all also money – vacuum gripping system downtime can ultimately quickly cause very high costs. 

About Schmalz

Schmalz is a global leader in the field of industrial automation as it pertains to vacuum automation, robotic palletizing vacuum grippers, material handling vacuum lift assist devices and CNC machine vacuum clamping.  The company is known for its innovative quality products, which give its customers decisive productivity improvements in their manufacturing processes, as well as its commitment to the environment and its employees.  The forward looking 105 year young privately held manufacturer has continually reinvented itself with each generation and has to its credit over 450 patents to date.

Kardex Remstar Helps Mold 1zu1 Prototypen’s Processes

0
0
Precision and innovation characterize the working style of 1zu1 Prototypen. The workshop in the Austrian city of Dornbirn is a leading producer of prototypes and models in Europe. Vacuum casting with polyurethane casting resin requires silicone molds which have to be available quickly when needed. This is made possible recently by an automated storage solution from Kardex Remstar, which fits seamlessly into the processes at 1zu1 Prototypen while occupying very little space.
 
From catering crockery and log prostheses to cable ducts – 1zu1 Prototypen produces models and small series made of plastic and metal for customers from all industries. The company uses a wide range of technically sophisticated processes, including laser sintering, stereolithography, 3D printing techniques and vacuum casting. Silicone tools are produced for the latter with the help of a mold and these are used to manufacture the small series. 1zu1 Prototypen guarantees that the silicone molds are kept in stock for one and a half years after the last customer order and can be accessed at any time for reorders.
 
Storage in a shaft
1zu1 Prototypen opted for an automated storage and retrieval system from Kardex Remstar to store the silicone molds. The Shuttle XP 500 Vertical Lift Modules (VLMs) are more than 15 meters (49 feet) high and have been built into a concrete shaft. “When working out the design for our new building situated in Rhomberg’s Fabrik industrial park, we planned the storage shaft at the same time,” explains Wolfgang Humml, one of the two managing directors at 1zu1 Prototypen. “We wanted an efficient, space-saving storage solution that gave us fast access to goods while integrating seamlessly with the company’s own ERP,” says Humml.
 
13,000 silicone molds in a 13.4 square meter (144 sq ft) footprint
It takes an average of seven to eight working days to produce a prototype. The individual process steps must be arranged closely together to achieve such fast throughput times. The silicone mold is safely stored away once it’s finished. 1zu1 Prototypen guarantees its customers a minimum storage period of one and a half years. If the customer reorders during this time, the storage is extended. Silicone molds of the same height are stored on one tray to save as much space as possible. Highly dense storage can be achieved by autoatmically scanning the height of stored goods in the VLM and storing trays at  intervals of just 25 millimeters (1 inch). Currently, 13,000 silicone molds are stored in two VLMs on a footprint measuring 13.4 square meters (144 sq ft). Since around 8,000 new molds are added every year, 1zu1 Prototypen has ordered another VLM. The third unit was recently built in the mechanical workshop.
 
Link to ERP
Kardex Remstar’s warehouse management software, Power Pick Global, is used at 1zu1 Prototypen. It not only offers flexible links to standard ERP systems, but also all individually developed ERP systems, as is the case at 1zu1 Prototypen. One of the two VLMs in Dornbirn is currently activated every two to five minutes. There is a systematic approach to putting away goods. The operator labels the silicone mold and scans the barcode. Then he measures the mold with the help of a matrix that corresponds to the VLM layout and enters the data into the system. Power Pick Global assigns the storage spaces and conveys the appropriate tray. The operator can easily find the selected storage space with the help of a position bar below the access opening.
 
555 square meters of storage space in a 25 square meter footprint
Managing director Humml considers the company to be well set up: “We are able to establish order and more efficient processes in the smallest of spaces with the solution from Kardex Remstar.” The third VLM will be loaded in the coming weeks before entering service. This will give 1zu1 Prototypen a total of 555 square meters (5,974 sq ft) of storage space in a footprint measuring just 25 square meters (269 sq ft).
 
Kardex Remstar, LLC, a company of the Kardex Group is a leading provider of automated storage and retrieval systems for manufacturing, distribution, warehousing, offices and institutions. For information about our dynamic storage solutions, call 800-639-5805 or visit www.kardexremstar.com.
