B&B Attachments announced as exclusive distributor for Griptech mobile weighing products in England and Wales

B&B Attachments a leading material handling equipment manufacturer based in the UK, announced today its exclusive distribution rights throughout England and Wales for Griptech high-performance weighing systems for forklift trucks.
Mobile weighing technology allows the integration of weighing systems in industrial trucks, with the aim of being able to weigh the load directly. Using mobile weighing technology eliminates the need for stationary scales. This means no additional routes, no waiting time on stationary scales, less energy consumption and a lower risk of accidents.

B&B Attachments is the UK’s leading independent supplier of forklift truck attachments and masts, offering the widest range of solutions available from a single source. B&B’s reputation has been built on its ability to solve handling problems through its professional and experienced sales force, to offer well engineered, quality products and to maintain those products through the course of their working life.

Neal Fowler, Sales Director at B&B Attachments comments, “Griptech has many years of experience developing and producing electronic measuring instruments primarily for industrial applications. This makes Griptech mobile weighing systems the ideal product range to add to B&B’s ever growing offering of material handling solutions.”

“We are delighted to collaborate with B&B Attachments,” said Rodney van der Lingen, Export Manager at Griptech. “Griptech GmbH has made a commitment to focus on European growth, and the UK is central to this expansion. We are confident that we have chosen the right partner in B&B Attachments to develop this market further and ensure customers understand the breadth of the Griptech portfolio. This partnership will further increase market reach and product accessibility of Griptech mobile weighing systems throughout England and Wales,” Rodney enthuses.

Knapp is at Modex next week to demonstrate a revolutionary, new, each picking Pick-it-Easy Robot, powered by Covariant AI. “This year our Pick-it-Easy Robot is again breaking new ground, delivering fully automated eCommerce each picking to over 90% of the typical SKU assortment,” said the company.

Utilizing the newest gripping technology, vision systems technology, and AI – the PIE Robot is cloud integrated and features self-learning capabilities that build and enhance its SKU database, and share its knowledge with other robots. These features have not been available in the market until today, and have lifted real world success rates for fully automated order picking from 20% to 95% or more, says the company.

You can also view Knapp’s multi-level Open Shuttle, a robotic Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR) designed to deliver flexibility at the newest state-of-the-art warehouses. Open Shuttle AMR – SWARM intelligence – operates as a network of intelligent transportation robots that work easily with your workforce. This is the same AMR being used in the latest Hyperlocal Fulfillment Centers being deployed globally by Knapp partner Takeoff Technologies – for grocery leaders Ahold Delhaize, Albertson’s, Loblaw and others.

LogiMAT will return to Stuttgart in March next year, following last night’s cancellation of this year’s event due to the impact of the coronavirus outbreak.

Organisers EuroExpo had battled hard to save this year’s show, despite a flood of cancellations from many exhibitors, including some of the biggest and most important companies in the global industry.

Until yesterday, local public health advice had backed the decision to press ahead with the show, but once the advice changed yesterday afternoon, EuroExpo bowed to what had already seemed the inevitable to most observers.

“This is bitter, given the overwhelming importance of LogiMAT Stuttgart for the global intralogistics industry. The cancellation of LogiMAT 2020 for external, unforeseeable circumstances is unprecedented in the event’s 18-year history. Despite tremendous efforts working with Messe Stuttgart, we were unable to find a later date to host the event in 2020, so it is with great regret that we have decided to cancel LogiMAT 2020,” announced Christoph Huss, Managing Partner of EuroExpo.

The next LogiMAT will take place in Stuttgart from March 9 to 11, 2021.
