More than child’s play: Similar to Lego blocks, Flexpipe assembly
components enable companies to easily create custom workstations, carts, racks, and other devices. The Flexpipe modular system
is made up of resin-coated steel tubes, steel connectors, conveyor rails and wheels, and various accessories that can be easily
assembled with a simple hex key.
The Flexpipe system is simple, flexible, multifunctional, safe, and
reusable, according to the manufacturer. Companies seeking continuous improvement and cost reduction can benefit from this creative handling system. (Martins Industries, (866) 409-RACK,

Juiced supply chain: LimeRoute is a Web-based global supply chain
service that enables corporations to move goods in the most efficient
way based on where they are needed and not based on the availability of their assets. LimeRoute’s focus is to remove as many unnecessary steps and/or processes as possible from the supply chain.
One global information system provides complete visibility to
shippers and all providers, allowing for changes or delays to be
immediately communicated. Complete cost transparency allows
for continuous cost reductions while the supply chain is optimized.
By removing the traditional silos and the resulting duplication of
effort, LimeRoute brings benefits to all links in the supply chain. For
shippers, it can bring reduced costs, end-to-end visibility, and an
improved ability to plan. Benefits for providers include improved
profits, greater efficiency, and streamlined administration.

Remote stretch: Lantech’s Simple
Automation stretch wrapping systems
become easier to use with the new Click-n-Go wireless remote control. Click-n-Go
enables forklift drivers to simply place a pallet load on the stretch wrapper, back away a
few feet, and press a button. It also gives the
operator more flexibility by eliminating the
need to stop within reach of a lanyard, the
other option often used for remote start.
Click-n-Go satisfies two key customer
requirements, as it makes the stretch wrapper
easier to use and it meets current safety codes. More than a remote
start button, the remote is capable of controlling multiple machines.
Plus, an additional feature button is used to initiate a banding
sequence for double-stacked pallets. Click-n-Go gives the user much
more flexibility in how the machines are used or relocated, too.
Using line-of-sight transmission and a two-step activation
process, the Click-n-Go system is immune to interference or accidental activation from stray radio-frequency interference in a typical facility environment. Safety is maximized by requiring two buttons to be depressed in sequence for each machine activation.
The “arm” button initiates visual and audible alarms at the
machine, followed by pressing the “start” button.
The Click-n-Go remote control was expected to be available for
shipment on new machines in March and for retrofit to existing
Lantech Simple Automation machines in the second quarter of
2009. (Lantech, www.lantech.com)
