Analytics tool: Supply chain network solution provider HighJump Software Inc. has launched an “actionable analytics” feature for HighJump Pulse, the company’s supply chain analytics application.

The tool gives users insights into which actions they need to take to enhance their workflows and allocate resources to respond to priority challenges.

The amount of high-value data worth visualizing is growing rapidly, and much of that information can offer actionable insights if analyzed properly, the company says. The actionable analytics tool lets decision-makers take steps to improve their supply chains by analyzing data from myriad sources and applications, then presenting it in charts and graphs in a single dashboard. Users can drill down on interactive visuals, find the relevant data source, and take action to improve processes. (HighJump Software Inc., www. highjump.com)

Modular warehouse walkway: Wildeck Inc. and its subsidiary, Ladder Industries, have released the new LadderLink modular access system, which provides an affordable and rugged framework of five core bolt-together components that will allow users to easily create a customized access solution for distribution centers, warehouses, and manufacturing operations.

According to the company, the LadderLink system utilizes a framework of five pre-engineered steel components that easily combine to create virtually endless configurations of work platforms, crossovers, and stairs. A continuous toe-board/kickplate and handrail on platforms, ladders, and stairs improves safety, while standardized components reduce delivery time, are easy to assemble, and increase productivity and efficiency. The LadderLink system allows customers to reconfigure their access needs in response to facility changes and growth, and includes the following standard components: diamond plate platform decks, guardrail with continuous handrail and kickplate; towers/supports; vertical access ladders/ships ladders; and OSHA- and IBC-compliant stairs.

Cubing and weighing system: Not all dimensioning systems are the same. The dimensioning system that you use to measure the length, height, and weight of a parcel or box might not be able to give you accurate readings on irregularly shaped items like a whisk, hiking poles, or even a T-shirt.

The new CubiScan 325 dimensioning and weighing system is designed to handle those types of objects. It has a measurement capacity of up to 24 inches by 24 inches by 36 inches and a measurement accuracy of 0.05 inches. The weight capacity is 50 pounds, and the weight resolution is 0.005 pounds. Depending on the object being measured, each measurement takes three to seven seconds. The CubiScan 325 can also measure and weigh boxes or parcels but will not be as fast as other dimensioning systems sold by the company.
