Carrier search tool: Logistadvise is a new
Web-based tool that allows users to search
for North American carriers by location.
…The Multi-Load Tote
from Akro-Mils
Mobile receipt and label printer: Cognitive TPG has created a 3-inch direct ther-
mal receipt and label printer: the M320. The M320 can be used to print receipts or
labels on the go, opening it up to many applications.
The M320 is small and lightweight, so it can be worn comfortably for a full shift.
At the same time, it has a rugged molded rubber design that provides added protection. Its IP54-rated protective case makes it resistant to dust and water.
The M320 is available with Bluetooth or 802.11 b/g wireless options. The M320
is compatible with Windows and Android mobile devices and is in the process of
getting iOS certification. (CognitiveTPG, www.cognitive TPG.com)
Users start their search by entering an
origin and destination. Logistadvise then provides a list of carriers that offer service
between those points. Next, users utilize 18
different filters to narrow their search based
upon the equipment required, quantity, and
any additional services needed.

Guess What’s
Coming Down
After operating in a private beta for three
months, Logistadvise is now being used by
carriers, brokers, third-party logistics service
providers, and consultants in a variety of
ways, ranging from sourcing carriers for an
upcoming bid to finding a new carrier to
cover an ad hoc shipment. Access to the service is available on a subscription basis.
The Line…
New carriers are being added to the networks on a daily basis. In the coming months,
the Logistadvise team is planning to roll
out new features, such as a fully searchable
database of shippers and the ability to send
out mass e-mail blasts to particular types of
carriers. (Logistadvise, www.logistadvise.com)

Hanging bin: The new
Universal Hanging Bin
from Akro-Mils can be
hung from any of its
four sides, creating different bin profiles. As a
result, users can convert
their storage space from
a hanging-style bin to a
shelf bin-style setup without having to purchase additional bins.

The Universal Hanging Bin’s patent-pend-ing design allows bins to adapt to users’
changing storage needs. The bins feature a
full-rim hanging cleat design that allows the
bin to be hung from a louvered panel by any
of its four sides and from rails by two sides. In
addition, the bins are sized to fit evenly across
standard-size wire and steel shelving units.
This Next Generation Product for Shuttle-Based Automation
Systems will transform how you look at storage, organization and order
picking! This AS/RS tote features a unique sidewall clip design, and
patented sorting cups and partition dividers. For more information on
this versatile tote, call 800-253-2467 or visit akro-mils.com!
If the bins are hung from the back, they
create a sloped picking bin, which keeps parts
visible and accessible. If the bins are hung
from the front, they create a standard bin
profile and the bin can be filled to capacity.
The bins can also be hung from the side on
louvered panels, which minimizes how much
they protrude into the work area.
The rear hanglock allows bins to tilt out
on steel or wire shelving units. The bins nest
when empty.
