Two for one: Fox IV Technologies Inc.
introduces the TwinPrint Tabletop printer. The new two-sided printer uses the
latest printing technology from Zebra
Technologies—the Xi4 print engine.
Opposing Xi4 printheads produce shipping label information and packing slip
information on a single label, eliminating the need to print, fold, stuff, and
apply packing slip pouches to cartons
by hand.
The TwinPrint Tabletop looks and functions like a traditional tabletop label printer, complete with serial and ethernet communication ports and embedded fonts
and languages. The system features silk-screened media paths for easy loading of
media; a convenient fan-fold label docking station with capacity for more than
1, 100 6- by 8-inch labels; and intuitive displays for fast-menu hopping. (Fox IV

Getting a lift: Dura-Dock Series loading-dock
lifts from Southworth Products transfer loads
from any truck bed to any dock height, and vice
versa, without ramps or inclines. These dock
lifts save time and effort at warehouses, manufacturing plants, retail outlets, and other establishments loading goods into or accepting
deliveries from more than one type of truck. A
lift can be installed to accommodate any dock
or loading configuration, whether the truck is
parked perpendicular or parallel to the dock.
Available in 5,000- and 6,000-pound capacities, Dura-Dock lifts feature corrosion-resistant
galvanized base and legs as standard. For higher capacities (up to 20,000 pounds), galvanized
construction is optional.
Platform sizes range from 6 by 8 feet to 8 by
12 feet. The lower-capacity models are
designed to support loaded hand pallet trucks,
while the higher-capacity models support
loaded forklifts. (Southworth Products Corp.,

Pharm aid: Intelligent Global Pooling Systems
(iGPS) offers a new, premium-level pallet rental
service designed to meet the unique needs of
the pharmaceutical and life sciences industries.
The new service, iGPS bios, provides a superior
level of pallet hygiene and security.
The iGPS bios program consists of several elements. First, each iGPS pallet is inspected to
ensure that its condition is pristine. Next, each
pallet is individually washed and sanitized at an
iGPS facility, then immediately enclosed in protective wrapping to maintain its hygienic condition. This wrapping will prevent bacteria,
pathogens, and chemical contaminants, whether
airborne or on supply chain surfaces, from contaminating the bios pallets.
The iGPS bios pallets are lightweight, robustly
constructed, hygienic, made of inorganic material, and discretely traceable across the supply
chain. Pharmaceutical companies that utilize the
iGPS bios program can be confident that the pallets they receive from iGPS are new or like-new
and are free of paint and toxic pesticides and
fungicides.
Each iGPS pallet has four RFID tags embedded in its frame, which enables tracking and tracing throughout the supply chain. In addition,
iGPS has begun deploying Spider AT tags
throughout its pallet fleet. The Spider AT is a bat-tery-powered GSM/GPRS/GPS wireless tag that
can transmit critical information about iGPS pallets, including iGPS-defined alerts, notification of
specific events, and highly accurate pallet location data. (Intelligent Global Pooling Systems
