Personnel Strip Door: As companies continue to search for ways to reduce energy costs and improve workplace environments, TMI introduces its latest energy
control solution, the Personnel Strip Door (PSD). The PSD was created to meet the
growing demand for an effective, low-cost strip door that helps control temperatures within a workspace, keeping employees and patrons comfortable.
The PSD is an economy-grade strip door using 8-inch-wide PVC strips that
attach effortlessly to TMI’s exclusive hardware system. This hardware installs in
minutes to provide instant environmental separation and cost savings. With a low
price point and a high level of efficiency, the PSD can pay for itself in a matter of
months by helping reduce the amount of energy used to heat and cool rooms,
according to the company.
The PSD is designed for personnel doors up to 40 inches wide and is suitable
for use in warehouse offices, refrigerated rooms, and other common areas with
consistent personnel traffic. The PSD is easy to clean and virtually eliminates the
penetration of dirt and grease due to its low-profile hardware design. (TMI,

EZ Weigh Integrated Scale: Lantech introduces its EZ Weigh Integrated Scale
option. This solution uses load cell technology to combine pallet-load weighing
and stretch wrapping into a convenient, one-step process. The EZ Weigh’s design
separates the weigh system from the stretch wrapper’s frame, ensuring that only
objects placed on the wrapper’s turntable are weighed.
Designed for the company’s Q-250, Q-300, Q-300XT, Q-400, and Q-400XT
stretch wrappers, the new option is compatible with both 65- and 72-inch diameter turntables. Stretch wrappers equipped with the EZ Weigh maintain the Q-Series’ classic low profile and are shipped from the factory calibrated and ready for
immediate use. (Lantech, www.lantech.com)

Dispatch Smoothing for transportation
routing: Paragon Software Systems has introduced a special Dispatch Smoothing feature for
its transportation routing software. The feature
is designed to prevent bottlenecks in warehouse dispatch.
Transportation plans often fail to take into
account the capabilities of warehouse
resources and their availability. Dispatch
Smoothing enables companies to balance logistics and warehousing operations.
The routing and scheduling optimization software, for example, makes it possible to plan the
optimal number of loads for dispatch so that the
warehouse can easily cope with the demand. The
software does this by controlling the outbound
profile of loads dispatching from the warehouse
and automating the scheduling of trucks, so that
departures within a given period are achievable
using the available warehouse resources, including people, loading bays, and equipment.
The Dispatch Smoothing functionality is
designed to optimize the user’s route schedules
so that available resources are not overburdened, while maintaining customer service
excellence. (Paragon Software Systems Inc.,
