DB Schenker Rolls Out Driverless Forklift Truck

Posted on by David Priestman

DB Schenker has introduced the regular operation of an autonomous forklift truck, following successful completion of a pilot project. The transport system of the Austrian supplier AGILOX transports empty containers over a distance of around 150m at the Eching site near Munich. This is done completely without the intervention of a warehouse associate. Previously, this operation was carried out with conventional forklift trucks.

Xavier Garijo, Member of the Board for Contract Logistics at Schenker AG: “Autonomous forklift trucks promise innovation, precision and efficiency for the benefit of our customers. DB Schenker is always open to alternative solutions in warehouse logistics. However, our most important asset is always our highly qualified employees: without them, we would not be one of the world’s leading logistics service providers today. For this reason, we want to relieve them by automating some logistics processes – especially since there is currently a shortage of skilled workers in logistics at the labour market.”

The AGILOX is equipped with a height-adjustable fork that can be used to lift and lower containers. It is therefore not necessary for the warehouse staff to place the containers manually on the AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle). The AGILOX is also capable of recording a surrounding map for navigation within the site in a very short time. This means that the use of the AGV can begin just a few days after delivery.

Franz Humer, CEO and co-founder of AGILOX: “The robots can take over simple tasks in the warehouse, meaning employees can concentrate on more complex tasks, especially at peak times. We look forward to many more successful projects with DB Schenker throughout Europe.”

QR Code Inventor Launches Handheld Device Management System

Posted on by David Priestman

QR Code inventors DENSO WAVE EUROPE are launching a new Device Management System (DMS), thus enabling efficient coordination of DENSO WAVE handheld terminals from just one computer.

The Device Management System (DMS) from DENSO WAVE EUROPE is a modern software tool to support the efficient use of handheld terminals within a company. Dirk Gelbrich, General Manager Technical Department at DENSO WAVE EUROPE, explains: “With our new DMS, administrators who are responsible for the handhelds used in their company can always see the status of each device at a glance. That is a great advantage as it saves a lot of time and therefore costs.”

The DMS has been developed by DENSO for their BHT handheld terminals and ensures that all devices, which are used in a company can be linked together on just one computer. The devices can be managed in real time by the DMS as their individual information is always kept up to date in the system. “This way, the device management is controlled and guaranteed centrally,” says Gelbrich all the while emphasizing the great advantages of this modern DMS.

If an update is required for a single or even multiple devices, it can be planned ahead, so downtimes can be kept to a minimum. This gives the administrator the opportunity to better control and optimize all the processes.

When troubleshooting a faulty device, the new DMS from DENSO WAVE EUROPE can offer a great advantage as well: Administrators can send commands to the handheld concerned while another employee simultaneously tests the device. In this way, errors are fixed faster and more efficiently.

Thanks to its integrated theft protection, administrators can even use the DMS to lock a stolen device or reset it to the factory settings.

The DMS consists of an app for installation on the mobile handhelds and an administration app to be installed on a computer. After the installation is complete, both the operating system and all applications on the mobile devices can be updated and managed – simply via the system on the computer.

“In the past, what was tediously done for every single handheld in the company, can now be processed and completed in one step, saving time and money,” says Gelbrich.

Lobster EDI Software Boosts Peak Ops for Logistics Clients

Posted on by David Priestman

Logistics and wholesale clients of Chesterfield-based software specialist, Lobster, enjoyed the seasonal peak in trade without incurring additional operational expenses, it says.

The firm’s electronic data integration (EDI) software handles busy periods automatically, without interruptions to service or punitive transaction fees.

Jeni Steele (above), Lobster’s head of UK, said: “We have heard reports from businesses using inflexible managed services that they had to wait up to 12 weeks to onboard seasonal clients, something Lobster_data allows users to do themselves, super quickly. We know they are also charged eye-watering fees if they exceed monthly data allowances, which is highly likely in the busy Christmas period.”

Lobster_data enables thousands of files in any format to be shared or received automatically and allows clients to add new customers inhouse, improving the speed and efficiency of order processing. It is benchmark tested to 16 million transactions and a stress test, conducted with Konica Minolta, demonstrated it can convert 10,000 EDIFACT documents in just five minutes.

From its headquarters in Germany, Lobster creates easy to use system integration software that reduces costs for clients and drives change by offering seamless communication with third parties.
