GapLogix can be used to feed pusher style sorters, weigh scales, print-and-apply applications
By reducing wasted space, GapLogix systems can optimize performance of the system and allow better throughput rates to be achieved at lower speeds. This reduces the rate of wear on the equipment, thus extending its life. Slower speeds also present less impact on the product. Modular controls for specific, complex areas of a system provide a complete machine and allow easy integration into any system. Speed of installation, ease of setup, ease of integration, flexible and configurable operation, and tested, complete machine performance are some of the goals during development of control products.
Robroy Industries slashes costs, increases picking accuracy with WMS system
Robroy
Industries wanted to slash costs, implement cycle counting, get better,
faster information, improve order picking speed, control the pace of
work, and ensure capacity to handle late-month order surges, all within
standard WMS functionality.
“By putting in an automated system, you become accurate,” said Robroy President and Chief Operating Officer David Marshall. “But you just get bad information faster if bad information is what you already have. An automated system won’t solve that problem. You have to solve a problem, then automate the solution.”
Seismic Considerations for Steel Storage Racks Located in Public Areas
The
The Building Seismic Safety Council (BSSC) has created an extensive
report on seismic considerations for racking located in public areas
(such as warehouse stores like Cosco, Sam's Club, or Home Depot). Given
the proliferation of these stores, the associated risk to the public is
greater. The traffic between rack aisles is greater than at a typical
warehouse. During an earthquake, occupant safety in a big box store
depends on the structural performance of the building and and on the
performance of storage racks (and their contents). Even for non-public
use rack users, the report has some valuable information...

Physical Data Center Security named most overlooked IT Security Aspect
In the December 2006 issue, Information Technology listed the "Most Overlooked" aspects of technology security, and old-fashioned physical security was first on its mind. According the the article, the people who do IT security and the people who do physical security in large organizations don't work with one another. Many small- to mid-sized enterprise IT security groups may overlook physical issues altogether. It's not until a building break-in occurs that the two may even meet at all...
