Better connections: Decisiv, a developer of technologies to connect fleet managers with internal and external service locations, has expanded the unified communications capability of its Decisiv Service Management Platform (DSMP). The
enhancement will allow fleets, service locations, mobile workers, and OEM representatives to communicate and access details about vehicle service events through
call centers and on handheld communications devices.
Alerts and responses sent via handheld units will be captured in a threaded,
date/time-stamped attachment. (Decisiv Inc., www.decisiv.com)
King pin: Steel King’s Pin
Rack is designed for the
easy storage of irregularly
shaped products prior to
assembly. The unit features a pegboard-type
design but with the holes
in the bottom of the rack.
The array of holes enables
the user to insert a number of 12-inch pins in
whatever configuration best conforms to the
shapes of the items being stored. This permits
users to consolidate inventories, resulting in
more efficient storage and less waste of time
and money in retrieving inventory.
The Pin Rack features a double-level perforated sheet metal deck. The perforations
accept the drop-in steel pins that allow the
user to customize each rack to accommodate
the shapes needed, storing up to 4,000
pounds per rack. (Steel King Industries Inc.,

Safety sense: Wildeck says its AutoSenz technology is now standard on its mechanical and
hydraulic VRCs (vertical reciprocating conveyors). VRC lifts are suited for transferring valuable inventory, parts, and heavy, bulky materials between levels in distribution centers,
warehouses, and manufacturing and assembly plants.
The new modular
safety sensor – the
AutoSenz M-Series –
is now an integral part
of the VRC’s control
system, providing
standard auto-ranging overload/VRC jam
protection that will minimize damage to
material and equipment should items become
jammed during lifting. Existing mechanical
and hydraulic VRCs can also be upgraded
with an AutoSenz M-Series Retrofit Module.
AutoSenz VRC safety systems automatically
sense motor load current and determine the
critical overload set point each time the VRC
motor starts. Since VRC motor loads change
depending on the weight of the material
placed on the lift, the auto-ranging capability
of Wildeck’s design makes it safer than fixed
set-point motor overload systems.
Wildeck has also enhanced its original
AutoSenz design for mechanical VRCs to
incorporate a VRC service and maintenance
reminder. The new feature can be programmed to appear on the display at specific
service time intervals set by the factory, the
end user, or the VRC service technician.
