Fulfillment network: One Network Enterprises has introduced Global Logistics Gateway, a new solution that enables carriers, freight forwarders, orchestrators, distributors, customs brokers, and suppliers to execute the global fulfillment and transportation process from a single access point. The Gateway connects with business networks for sales, procurement, freight, and logistics services to create a ubiquitous “network of networks” at global scale. This offering supports interoperability between supply chain operating networks through open standards-based authentication and public API-based process orchestration to any buy/sell system or any transportation management system (TMS).

Using Gateway, shippers can provide a one-stop-shop for customers, which enables them to post purchase, sales, or transport orders via a single system. It connects and transacts with in-country and international carriers, freight forwarders, customs brokers, last-mile operators, and other partners, which greatly streamlines fulfillment and transportation functions.

Carriers and freight forwarders can use the solution to transact with shippers to fulfill the transport demand and collaborate on freight orders, schedule appointments, post capacity, and publish the tracking events.

Buyers and suppliers can connect and transact with each other and with logistics trading partners in operating fulfillment and transport operations. The network will manage fulfillment and delivery across multiple modes, support all combinations of prepaid and collect legs, and Incoterms. Milestones and tracking events are provided for all orders and shipments.

All trading partners onboard once, and the Gateway can connect them to other popular TMS systems and buy and sell applications such as ERP, procurement systems, and other business networks. In addition, businesses can benefit from One Network’s unique Global Supply Demand Match Service that optimizes inventory, service levels, and freight costs simultaneously.

Vertical drop lifter: Designed for the automotive industry with redundant safety systems and multiple belts, Handling Specialty Manufacturing’s mast-style belt lift was engineered to transfer an automotive chassis from one fixed-height conveyor to another fixed-height conveyor system to continue its path through the factory.

Designed to reduce deflection, ensure level and accurate positioning, and support cantilevered loads, the belt lift allows for stable elevation changes when raising or lowering a load. The mast structure supports the lift carriage, while the drive train employs a belt equalization system that’s operated by an electromechanical motor with lock-position actuators. The vertical drop lifter also offers an OSHA-compliant upper-level personnel access platform and floor-mounted devices for ease of access during planned maintenance.

Although it was designed for automotive applications, this mast-style belt lift can be easily applied to other industries, the company says. (Handling Specialty Manufacturing, www.han-dling.com)

LED worklights: TVH in the Americas has added two new LED worklights to its inventory: the SYLED1500 and SYLED2500. The lights can be used in a variety of applications, including material handling.

The 1500 and 2500 series are both equipped with 12-24 volts, die-cast aluminum housing, polycarbonate lenses, stainless steel mounting hardware, and spot or flood beam patterns. According to the company, these lights work more than 30,000 hours and come with reverse polarity protection and four certifications, including CE, RoHS, IP67, and E-Mark. The 1500 series features 10 LEDs and 1500 lumens ( 25 watts), while the 2500 series lights feature 15 LEDs and 2500 lumens ( 40 watts) for optimum visibility. (TVH in the Americas, www.tvh.com)

Eco-friendly refrigerant: Carrier Transicold now offers a new-generation refrigerant, R-452A, as an alternative for use in its truck and trailer refrigeration systems. The Environmental Protection Agency has approved the refrigerant for transport refrigeration applications.

Developed by the refrigerant manufacturing industry to reduce environmental impact, R-452A has a global warming potential (GWP) that is almost half that of R-404A, the hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerant used in most land-based transport refrigeration applications, Carrier Transicold says.
