Bench scale: Fairbanks Scales Inc. has introduced stainless steel bench scales for applications within the food and beverage industry.
The QuickSilver stainless steel platform was
designed with input and guidance from the
AMI Sanitary Design Task Force (SDTF) and
is ideal for sanitary food and beverage applications, the company says. A wide variety of instrumentation, pillars, and
platforms are available, which all
feature a stainless steel design for
easy cleaning and sanitizing.
Fairbanks Scales’ stainless bench scales
are designed to the Scale Manufacturers Association (SMA) standards for shock and overload protection, featuring a low-profile
shock-resistant base. These features ensure that the scales will
provide years of accurate, reliable, and sanitary weighing.
The units are designed for light-capacity high-speed weighing
operations and are appropriate for a checkweighing system or for
blending and batching applications. (Fairbanks Scales Inc., www.

Out-of-stock management solution: NeoGrid, a technology
provider of end-to-end supply chain management solutions, has
released its On-Shelf Availability (OSA) Solution in North America.
Available on the company’s cloud-based supply chain management platform, NeoGrid’s OSA Solution uses root-cause analytics to prevent out-of-stocks (OOS), while driving collaboration
between manufacturers, retailers, and suppliers.
Within a single integrated platform, NeoGrid’s OSA Solution
provides advanced OOS management capabilities, allowing manufacturers to ensure product availability on store shelves by identifying and addressing the root causes of unavailability. The solution
takes into consideration inventory levels and actual/expected sales
to calculate the probability that an item will become out of stock.
Then, the solution uses granular data sets to predict the root
cause of the OOS situation and allows the user to take action. As
a result, manufacturers can increase sales, strengthen relationships with retailers, better meet demand, and improve customer
satisfaction.
In addition, NeoGrid’s OSA Solution offers user-friendly interactive dashboards containing key performance indicators to help
users understand the level of OSA, the losses they’ve incurred,
and their root causes. From there, users can drill down through
this information to identify trends across sales territories and even
individual stores. The solution also provides daily alerts that are
configurable for various audiences, including retailers, warehouses, and distributors. (NeoGrid, www.NeoGrid.com)
