Industrial printers: Zebra Technologies Corp.
has introduced the ZT600 and ZT510 industrial
printers, which are designed to withstand the
harshest environments while delivering superior print quality and uptime, the manufacturer
says. The company also launched Printer Profile
Manager Enterprise, a browser-based remote
printer management solution for Zebra Link-OS
enabled printers that’s engineered to reduce
cost and management time.
Printers in the ZT600 series offer new
user-friendly features like simplified media and
ribbon loading, a highly visible color display
that shares printer status, and guided multimedia help to assist users in resolving issues
quickly. The printers run Link-OS applications
designed to streamline device deployment,
network connectivity, daily use, and routine
maintenance to optimize productivity.
Zebra’s other new model, the ZT510, is a
cost-effective printer that’s ideal for applications that need only a basic feature set but still
require high-quality printing and durability, the
company says.
Printer Profile Manager Enterprise enables
IT staff to maintain Link-OS enabled printers
with up-to-date security and makes it easy to
remotely manage, troubleshoot, and configure
fleets of Zebra printers from a single location,
reducing operational expenses. (Zebra, www.

Location tracking: FourKites has launched a
real-time temperature and location tracking
solution for shippers that’s designed to make it
easier for them to comply with the Food Safety
Modernization Act (FSMA), which requires
shippers and carriers to take steps to ensure
that temperature-sensitive foods remain within
specified temperature ranges during transit.
According to the company, FourKites
Temperature Tracking can help shippers
reduce spoilage, operational costs, and one-time spot buys. Shippers can also increase
customer satisfaction by identifying potentially
noncompliant loads earlier in the shipping
process, before those loads make it all the way
to their destinations or have to be diverted to
quality centers.
Temperature Tracking relays load temperatures in tandem with location data every 15
minutes. Customizable notifications alert users
as soon as temperatures fall outside a specified
range. Visualization and analysis tools enable
shippers to review individual and aggregated
load temperatures over time to spot trends
and to compare performance against industry
benchmarks. (FourKites, www.fourkites.com)

Forklift battery pack: Energy storage technology
specialist Romeo Power has introduced Thunder
Pack - C, the first lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery pack
designed to be adapted for any electric forklift
make or model. Like its predecessor, the Thunder
Pack - J 2.0, Thunder Pack - C is safer, longer
lasting, and more energy efficient than the lead
acid batteries that still dominate the global forklift
market, the company says.
Romeo Power Thunder Packs are warranty-backed to last 4,000 cycles (
approximately 12 years); deliver quick recharge; require no maintenance; and produce
zero emissions. In comparison, the company says, traditional lead acid forklift
battery packs have a much shorter cycle life, require long recharge and cooldown
periods, need constant maintenance, run out of energy in as little as six hours, and
emit toxic hydrogen sulfide gas.
All Romeo Power battery packs are engineered to exceed stringent government
safety requirements and include an advanced battery management system based
on control-oriented physico-chemical models, the company says. (Romeo Power,

Navigation software for robots: Warehouse robotics company Locus Robotics
has introduced an advancement in its autonomous robotics navigation software
to enable multi-robot warehouse fulfillment for retailers and third-party logistics
service providers (3PLs). The Locus Robotics Advanced Navigation (LRAN) software streamlines the process of having multiple robots operate in a coordinated
fashion in a warehouse environment, the company says. (Locus Robotics, www.
