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.,

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)
