Laying the groundwork for smarter manufacturing - Enhancing factory foundations for reduced downtime, more efficient production
As factories get smarter, they become capable of producing more efficiently, often triggering the need for expansion. This expansion includes better space utilisation, the adoption of newer, larger systems, and an increase in physical footprint.
Upgrade Your Mezzanine Flooring While Avoiding Timely and Costly Replacement
Mezzanine floors are important in many facilities. They provide extra space for storage or work without taking up more ground space. However, they often face heavy use from equipment and people. Over time, this can cause the floor to wear down.
Adapt Your Warehouse Operations Using a Low Code Application Platform-Based WMS
Today, modern software development methodologies have designed new platforms that have components and functionalities that are tightly connected to a single, large database. Individual components can be separated and modified independently.
Automating the 'last mile' of package deliveries
The use of optical character recognition enables parcels to be quickly scanned and assigned to a bin that will collate all the packages for a delivery area. Automation allows line speeds to be increased and reduces sorting errors, boosting efficiency.
Stick with OEM Parts When Replacing Racking Components
Beams, uprights, braces and other elements of a pallet racking system often need to be replaced due to damage caused by forklift impacts or other causes. It's important to replace the components with parts from the same manufacturer, and not from another source.

Featured Product
PickerPal Products provides full case pick module protection to protect employees from falls.
PickerPal has two independent, spring-loaded arms that are self closing, which is preferred by OSHA. 3 arms are used when a kick plate is required. OSHA states that when an employee is within 4' of the edge, the area changes from a pallet position to a, "walking/working surface," which requires a kick plate or a third arm. The spring-loaded arms open on contact with the loaded skid and close on their own as products are off-loaded. This design provides multiple benefits: • Top arms close as product is removed, creating a safety gate, and the third arm closes when the empty pallet is removed. • Empty pallet positions are no longer a safety hazard. • Each are is easily replaced without removing the entire assembly.
