Flexible chain conveyors: Conveyor manufacturer Dorner has consolidated two existing product lines and unified them into a single platform, which is now called FlexMove. While the FlexMove name isn’t new to Dorner, the line now incorporates the features and strengths of the former SmartFlex conveyor line along with the FlexMove units. The consolidation makes specifying and ordering a much easier experience for distributors and customers around the world as the conveyor is fully supported from Dorner’s four global manufacturing facilities (in the U.S., Germany, Malaysia, and Mexico).

These aluminum-frame flexible chain conveyors are ideal for applications where floor space is limited as they are designed to make tight 360-degree turns in and around machinery and equipment, the company says. The conveyors are available with speeds of up to 250 feet per minute and load capacities of up to 600 pounds.

FlexMove conveyors are available in three purchasing options based on the customer’s application and situation. With the “FlexMove Components” option, customers can order all the necessary parts and components to build their FlexMove conveyor onsite. With “FlexMove Solutions,” Dorner builds the conveyor

Track-and-trace software upgrade: DMLogic LLC, an integrator of warehouse management systems (WMS), has released version 6. 3 of STEPLogic Trace, its traceability solution that enables the tracking and tracing of prescription drugs across the supply chain. In addition to meeting the requirements of the Drug Supply Chain Safety Act (DSCSA), STEPLogic Trace now also meets the requirements of the European Falsified Medicine Directive (FMD) and integrates directly with European repository systems, including the German NGDA/securPharm NMVS solution.

According to the company, version 6. 3 offers the WMS Connector, which allows for easy integration with virtually any WMS. STEPLogic Trace runs on both Oracle and SQL Server databases. The system can be configured for progressive support of an operation, from capturing the serials just on the receiving/ inbound side and order management/outbound side to tracking and recording every transaction involving serial numbers throughout the operation.
