		<description><![CDATA[Most distribution and many manufacturing operations must deal with empty pallets &#8211; sometimes it&#8217;s a lot of pallets. They take space you could use for something else. They clutter your receiving areas. Sometimes they&#8217;re splintery, with nails protruding from the sides ready to bite a passerby. People re-use their pallets of course, holding onto them [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When you are considering an automated picking solution, you have lots of choices. One of the more frequent comparisons is between horizontal carousels and VLM&#8217;s &#8211; vertical lift modules. Both essentially promise the same efficiency gain: they bring products to pickers rather forcing pickers to move to picking stations in shelving or racks. But which [...]]]></description>

And we all know that when it comes to pedestrians, there is no such thing as a minor forklift accident. We&#8217;ve recently added a free eBook focused on this topic.
