Strapping Machine Specialist Mosca Expands in France

Posted on by David Priestman

Strapping machines specialist Mosca GmbH has been strengthening its presence on the French market since November 2018 with a new subsidiary: Mosca Emballage Sasu. From its new location in Lognes near Paris, Mosca will be selling strapping machines for industries ranging from corrugated board to food. Service and maintenance technicians are quick to respond on site to handle any problems and experienced Mosca experts provide advice on machine installation and layout of fully automated systems. The new subsidiary supports Mosca’s position in France as a full-range supplier with a comprehensive package of services.

By founding Mosca Emballage Sasu, Mosca is focusing on short paths and direct customer contact in France.  A team of sales representatives, technicians and engineers handles customer requests quickly and efficiently. With offices, workshops for technicians, and a warehouse, the recently procured site offers 800 square metres of space for replacement parts and strapping material. This speeds up supplies to French customers, who can now access a comprehensive package of services in Lognes along with strapping machines manufactured in Waldbrunn, Germany.

The new Mosca site also benefits customers in other ways. Direct contact with Mosca staff ensures customer feedback flows into advanced machinery developments and new models that can be perfectly equipped for specific applications, such as fish production on the coasts of France. “We see great growth potential in the French market,” explains Mosca CEO Timo Mosca. “We are traditionally strong in the corrugated board sector, but are seeing a growing interest from the logistics and food industries. Mosca Emballage enables us to respond to the regional demand for technologically advanced machinery.”

Nordic Automation Specialist Element Logic Unveils LogiMAT Package

Posted on by David Priestman

Nordic logistics automation specialist Element Logic says it is presenting some “revolutionary news” at next month’s LogiMAT.

Element Logic is the primary Nordic partner of the unique automated storage and retrieval system AutoStore. Beyond that, the portfolio of Element Logic covers solutions for processes from incoming goods to outgoing goods. Along with automatic erecting and closing of boxes, labelling and conveying these solutions also include automated picking by robots.

The first AutoStore integrator in the market will showcase a new line of AutoStore® modules that are a complement to the existing products, covering highest demands. All warehouse solutions by Element Logic are tailor-made, scalable and flexible in design. The Element Warehouse Control System (EWCS) shows what a well-engineered software tool for AutoStore® integration can do to optimize warehouse performance.

“The cost for personnel and square meters are constantly increasing, and lack of space is always a challenge. Thus we have to think smart and effective when it comes to space and productivity. With AutoStore in combination with our EWCS-module, we represent a best practice for how to solve the challenges our customers are facing within Intralogistics”, states Michael Kawalier, Managing Director Element Logic Germany GmbH.

In addition, Element Logic will be co-exhibiting with RightHandRobotics for the very first time. Visitors of their booth will be able to explore an automatic item picking solution based on a collaborative robot, enabling a safe collaboration with operators.

Meet Element Logic at Hall 1, Stand H21, Messe Stuttgart, Feb 19-21

Case Study: Automha Optimizes Space and Storage for UK Brewer

Posted on by David Priestman

Following continued growth, long-established UK brewer Murphy & Son needed to increase capacity for its finished goods. They would be stored in a number of ways – intermediate bulk container (IBC), individual barrels or small boxed items stored on traditional pallets. The company wanted to exploit an existing plant in Nottingham, optimizing its storage capacity. Different pallet options and a warehouse to be created within an existing site were therefore the two starting conditions to be submitted to the potential supplier.

Murphy & Son turned to Sec Storage, a UK specialist in the design, supply and installation of pallet racking systems in all shapes, sizes and configurations. Sec Storage, following a detailed analysis of the building slated to house the new warehouse and the load units, designed the best solution for Murphy & Son, developing a semi-automatic storage system for multi-depth pallet, which was implemented using Automha’s Autosat shuttle.

The choice of Sec Storage and its customer alighted on Automha’s Autosat satellite for several reasons. Autosat was able to fully respond to the customer’s need to maximize storage capacity within the pre-existing building. Automha’s satellite is in fact ideal for semi-automatic storage of multi-depth pallets inside a traditional drive-in shelf and guarantees maximum exploitation of the warehouse volume. In the Murphy & Son warehouse, the Autosat shuttle is loaded onto the required lane by a forklift truck and once it has started, it runs through the lane until it reaches the first available pallet, in a FIFO logic. This greatly reduces the presence of forklift operators in the warehouse, since in this scenario the operator only has to worry about loading the pallet onto the shuttle which then automatically moves along the shelves. In addition to simple storage, Autosat guarantees several important functions of reordering, counting, anti-collision, manual management and many others. Thanks to this multi-depth and high-density storage solution, Murphy & Son is now able to reach a storage capacity of more than 280 pallets, in a space of over 1500sqm.

Murphy & Son’s new warehouse and storage solutions provides them with a highly space optimized and operationally efficient storage system, with the ability to further increase productivity by implementing additional shuttles, when the need arises or when season demand dictates. AUTOSAT, with its 4.000 installations in 46 Countries is the best business card of the company today, internationally recognized for references and applied technology. Sec storage also confirms that Automha’s shuttle is a very efficient solution, which they will continue to promote always wherever applicable among the their customers.

Route Scheduling Expert Supports Hospice Charity Initiative

Posted on by David Priestman

Dorking-based Paragon Software Systems has supported the St Gemma’s Hospice annual Christmas tree disposal service, helping the charity to raise more than £20,000 to care for terminally ill people in West Yorkshire. The company provided route planning expertise to support the collection and recycling of more than 1,400 Christmas trees in and around the city of Leeds during January. Using its advanced routing and scheduling software, Paragon designed transport plans to maximise the number of trees collected by a fleet of 10 vans driven by a team of local volunteers.

Simple and effective routes were created for tree collections spread across 11 postcode areas which were then delivered to nearby recycling sites in Leeds. Easy-to-use transport manifests were also supplied to the team of volunteer drivers with each schedule designed to minimise the journey times and fuel usage.

Emma Heslington, Fundraising Assistant at St Gemma’s Hospice commented: “We would like to thank everyone involved at Paragon for their support again this year. Their efforts are hugely appreciated, enabling us to save hours of route planning and reduce the demands on our highly-valued team of volunteers. We have had some great feedback about the planned routes, with many of our teams saying how easy the schedules were to follow.”

William Salter, Managing Director at Paragon Software Systems said: “St Gemma’s Hospice is making a huge difference to people’s lives, providing vital care for terminally ill people in West Yorkshire, so we are proud to have the opportunity to continue our relationship. It is important for organisations such as Paragon to help in any way they can to ensure charities like St Gemma’s Hospice are able to raise the funds they need to support their valuable work.”
