Seal the deal: Loveshaw’s Little David Products Division announces the release of the LDX-RTB. This random semiautomatic case sealer is designed to process both void-filled and over-stuffed cases at speeds that are 40 percent faster than comparable units.

The LDX-RTB automatically adjusts for cases of varying widths and heights. The adjustments can also be fixed in position for sealing a series of cases of uniform size. Cases are taped top and bottom with either 2- or 3-inch-wide tape using CaseLocker 60 tape heads. (Loveshaw, www.loveshaw.com)

On TRAC: Container and Pooling Solutions (CAPS) announces the latest release of its proprietary container tracking solution, CAPS-Trac 3.0. This new version boasts improved filtering capabilities and easier navigation, with the option for customers to track containers and additional assets using either CAPS-iTrac (the individual tracking model) or CAPS-a Trac (the aggregate tracking model). As with previous versions of CAPS-Trac, customers use bilingual scanners to transmit data immediately to CAPS.

The online solution is accessible from any Internet-connected computer, with data backed up in a secure offsite location to ensure stability. CAPS-Trac 3.0 makes it easier than ever before for businesses to keep track of their reusable shipping containers. (Container and Pooling Solutions, www.UseCAPS.com)

Quick scans: Motorola introduces its CS3000 series of portable 1D laser scanners for workers who need basic bar-code scanning capabilities for mobile applications. The CS3000 units allow mobile workforces in retail, supply chain, facilities management, and direct store delivery operations to overcome productivity challenges with superior scanning performance in an easy-to-use, ergonomic, and intuitive device.

Available in two models, batch or Bluetooth, the CS3000 series units are affordably priced and fit in a pocket or on a lanyard for convenient access and portability. The CS3000 can be used in stand-alone mode for the batch scanning of bar codes, while the CS3070 offers both batch and real-time data transmission to a host application via a wireless Bluetooth connection to smart phones, laptops, and other electronic devices. In addition, the CS3000 series provides a simple and easy-to-use two-button interface that requires little to no training for end users to get started.

The scanners feature a large memory capacity, which allows workers to capture more than 1 million bar codes. The units also have a durable design, including IP40 sealing and the ability to withstand drops. (Motorola, www.motorola.com)
