Routing software: PC*Miler 29, the latest version of the PC*Miler truck routing,
mileage, and mapping software from ALK
Technologies, provides new tools to help minimize overall operational costs and allow for
more comprehensive planning. For example, a
new Hours of Service (HOS) Manager factors
Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration
(FMCSA) HOS-regulated breaks directly into
the route.
With PC*Miler’s HOS Manager, mandatory
driver HOS breaks are incorporated during
trip planning, giving companies a clear picture
of actual travel times and distance traveled.
Access to this more accurate mileage information can significantly improve asset utilization, as fleets can more efficiently manage
their assets and ensure they’re maximizing
revenue per day. When planning a route, dispatchers can easily identify if a driver will be in
violation of the regulation as well as identify
an appropriate stop for a break if needed.
They can even view a list of amenities located
at a stop to assist in choosing the best break
location. (ALK Technologies, alk.com)
Order-checking automation: The SSI Order
Verifier from SSI Schaefer is an automated system that allows companies to check and document outgoing shipments. SSI Order Verifier
can identify, count, verify, photograph, and
document up to 6,000 items per hour, or the
equivalent of roughly 300 boxes. The system
is particularly well suited for fulfilling the
track-and-trace requirements associated with
the shipping of
pharmaceutical
products.
In the first
step, the picked
items are delivered in containers and emptied onto a conveyor belt. During
conveying, the products are separated and
transported into the scanner box. Inside the
scanner box, each product is scanned and
recorded at a speed of 2. 5 meters ( 8. 2 feet)
per second. Depending on the requirements,
this is done either with 1-D bar codes, 2-D
matrix codes, or RFID transponders. In the final
step, the products are put back in their boxes
for shipment to the customer.
In comparison to manual or semiautomatic
verifying, the cost benefits may amount to
95 percent, according to SSI Schaefer. The
cost savings come from the reduction in
error rates (and therefore, a reduction in the
number of returns) and the automation of the
order-checking process. (SSI Schaefer, www.

Bar-code scanner: Koamtac Inc. has released the KDC350F, an IP65-rated Wi-Fi
Bluetooth bar-code scanner and nearfield communication (NFC) reader.
The KDC350F enables the user to connect to a private local area network (LAN)
and transmit data in real time. The combination of Wi-Fi capability and real-time
data collection makes it suitable for various applications, including warehouse
management, factory automation, retail, and healthcare. With a Wi-Fi connection,
users are no longer restricted to a specific location, enabling them to transmit data
seamlessly and directly to the server without requiring a host device. (Koamtac Inc.,
