Removable warehouse labels:
Avery Products Corp., a supplier
of labels and short-run label printing and software solutions, has
introduced Surface Safe ID labels.
The industrial-strength printable labels are engineered to stick
“strong” but remove cleanly, with no scraping, from metal, glass,
plastic, fiberglass, polyethylene, and polypropylene.
The labels are made of a polyester material that provides easy
bar-code scanning, even from a distance, and is water-, chemi-cal-, abrasion-, and tear-resistant. The labels are recommended
for indoor use and can be used on a variety of surfaces in warehouses, factories, and other tough environments.
Featuring removable surface-safe adhesive that sticks and stays
put yet removes cleanly without damage or residue, the labels are
ideal for metal racks, shelving, cabinets, and plastic storage totes
and bins, the company says. (Avery Products Corp., avery.com)
Freight service: Dayton Freight Lines Inc., a regional less-than-truckload (LTL) carrier, has introduced Dayton Freight Truckload
(DFT) in response to customers’ needs for a more efficient truckload solution. DFT now coordinates truckload transportation
across North America. Paired with the company’s LTL and expedited service, DFT offers shippers multimodal service.
Dayton Freight works with pre-certified, CSA-compliant carriers. In addition to on-time and intact deliveries, customers can
expect same-day quotes and competitive pricing, the company
says. (Dayton Freight, www.daytonfreight.com)
Carton flow configurator: Unex Manufacturing Inc., a provider
of order picking solutions, has introduced the Unex Configurator,
a design tool that generates a 3-D image and bill of materials for
users’ custom carton flow solutions. The online tool lets users
configure a Span-Track solution from the ground up by themselves, accelerating the turnaround time for custom-fit material
handling equipment.
Users begin to create their designs with the Unex Configurator
by entering the dimensions to match their existing racks, along
with the name of the pallet rack beam manufacturer and type
of upright needed. Next, they add the number of levels, types
of rack, and end style. Users then simply click on “send me my
design” to receive their free 3-D image with a bill of materials
included. Unex can generate a quote based on the design.
Although the tool is currently limited to Span-Track systems, the
company says it will add other products to the Configurator in
the future.
Unex Span-Track is a carton flow solution for full-case and
split-case (each) order picking. According to the company, Span-Track also easily drops into existing structures and creates a
carton flow rack roller system, keeping product at the pick point
for the worker. Unex says Span-Track increases throughput by up
to 150 percent when compared with order picking from pallets.

Mobile computer: Janam Technologies
LLC, a provider of rugged mobile computers that scan bar codes and communicate
wirelessly, has added to its XG series of
gun-shaped rugged mobile computers. The
newest model, the XG200, was designed to help
mobile workers in warehouses, DCs, loading
docks, and other areas where industrial-grade
rugged mobile computers are needed get more
work done in a single shift. Its 6300mAh battery
is located inside the handle, delivering a device that is light and
balanced in the hand, while also allowing users to quickly hot-swap a battery to eliminate downtime.
Offering a 4.3-inch touchscreen and powered by the Android
7 operating system, the XG200 is built to survive five-foot drops
to concrete across a wide temperature range and is sealed to
the IP65 standard for protection against dust and jetting water.
It also meets the MIL-STD-810G standard for surviving repeated
vibrations, humidity, extreme temperatures, and high altitudes.

Lithium-ion battery: Exide Technologies has launched its GNB
LiFTForce LPX lithium-ion battery in the U.S. The company says
the LiFTForce LPX can charge in just 15 minutes, up to eight
times faster than a traditional lead-acid battery can, and provides
increased cycle life and lower maintenance requirements for
Class I, II, and III forklifts and automated guided vehicles (AGVs).
The battery is ideal for large distribution centers and companies
that run heavy-duty or multiple shifts, the company says.
The LiFTForce LPX was first introduced in Europe in 2013 under
the brand name GNB Sonnenschein Lithium. According to the
company, the overall benefits of the LiFTForce LPX are streamlined operations, reduced downtime, and lower total cost of
ownership compared with traditional lead-acid batteries. (Exide
