Team work: Varsity has created a special program for SAP users by combining its ShipSoft TMS solution with the UPS CCK (carrier compliance kit), a pre-built SAP interface for companies using SAP. This program, which will be available to all existing and new SAP customers, is designed to help businesses take advantage of UPS small package and freight services and manage their shipping process through their SAP ERP. It allows users to consolidate both their freight and parcel shipping processes on one hardware platform and have it driven by the SAP ERP application. (Varsity Logistics, www.varsitylogistics.com)

Tag along: The AT01 from William Frick is a durable, long-read-range RFID tag designed for use in logistics, warehouse management, large equipment tagging, and other applications where read distance is crucial. This tag will read from more than 16 feet away, making it suitable for tracking shipping containers. The long read range also makes it well suited for scanning tall shelves.

For convenience in logistics and manufacturing applications, William Frick has combined a magnetic tag, an adhesive-backed tag, and an RFID wire-attached tag into one multi-purpose identification tag. The printed bar code and human readable information ensure easy and accurate data collection no matter how the tag is read. The RFID signal can be read four to 10 feet away, depending on hardware and environmental conditions. This tag is also chemical, water, and abrasion resistant. It is available with either an aggressive or removable adhesive and provides durable product identification.

The thin, yet durable RFID tag is designed for floors, walls, and other flat objects. Tough enough to resist being driven over with a forklift, these tags are used to mark the floor location in a warehouse or distribution facility to aid in automatic data collection and inventory control. The tag’s permanent 3M adhesive provides a high-strength bond to concrete, plastic, or painted surfaces. This adhesive also bonds well to surfaces lightly contaminated with oil.

Big and tough: Akro-Mils, a manufacturer of storage, organization, and transport products, has expanded its Super-Size AkroBins line with the addition of the Model

30284 bin. The new model measures 23 7/8 inches long by 8 1/4 inches wide by 7 inches high.

Super-Size AkroBins, which are now available in 12 sizes, provide a variety of options for controlling inventories, shortening assembly times, and improving work flow. The heavy-duty bins also save space by securely stacking atop one another.

The containers feature a large handle molded into the back of the bin and a large front face area that can accommodate most label sizes. An anti-slide stop prevents stacked bins from shifting forward. Reinforced side ribs add strength and prevent bowing when the units are stacked or filled to capacity.
