project44 launches ‘gamechanging’ platform

project44, the connective tissue of the global supply chain, has launched Movement by project44, which it describes as a game-changing platform that gives all supply chain partners — including shippers, carriers, logistics professionals and more — the transparency and collaboration they need to make supply chains work. For the first time, Movement by project44 combines the power of the entire project44 product suite, including its internally developed products and acquired capabilities, into one cohesive platform.

“People, organisations and economies depend on the efficient movement of goods around the world, but the past few years have shown how volatile demand capacity is, how difficult it can be for carriers to find the right loads and how unpredictable delivery times are,” said Jett McCandless, founder and CEO, project44. “Movement enables visibility, agility and workflow automation, but most importantly, it fosters collaboration. That is the key. Because together, we can make supply chains work, improve lives and ensure access to the goods the world needs.”

Movement empowers teams to manage exceptions, streamline shipment operations, automate manual processes and collaborate to resolve customer issues, all from a single platform. It delivers value by providing complete order-level visibility across all modes globally, including multimodal estimates, from raw material to consumer door. It provides insights and workflow capabilities end to end — before, during and after transit. Everyone in the supply chain can use it, regardless of role, and it can deliver data to any person or system. The intuitive interface and unified APIs simplify issue resolution, and Movement enables seamless, data-driven operations.

“As the largest brewer in the world, it is up to us to pave the way for the food and beverage space by investing in technologies that will bring the most value to our customers while navigating unpredictable supply chain challenges,” said Andreea Calin, Logistics Operations Transformation Manager, Anheuser-Busch InBev Europe. “With Movement, we hope to easily manage logistics operations in one user-friendly place and exceed customers’ rising expectations in an efficient, reliable and sustainable way.”

Movement has the largest network of connected carriers, logistics service providers, shippers, technology providers and consumers in the industry and can create connections for those who are not already part of the network faster than any competitor. project44 also has the most robust dataset and the most sophisticated data science technology in the sector and provides the greatest breadth, depth and quality of visibility available anywhere.

“We owe it to our customers to provide specialised cargo solutions based on their individual requirements and schedules,” said Paul Foster, Vice President of Development and Integrations, JAS Worldwide. “Global supply chains can be unpredictable, and to address customers’ needs, we need innovative technology that is user-friendly, reliable and informative. Movement will give us the end-to-end visibility we need to manage high-level logistics to meet and exceed customer expectations.”

With Movement, shippers can increase lead time reliability and improve on-time delivery to cut costs and improve customer satisfaction. Logistics professionals can use Movement to improve data accuracy and increase productivity to grow revenue. Movement enables carriers to drive digital adoption, increase data accuracy and improve efficiency through automation to become more competitive. Drivers can reduce check calls and dwell times, providing real-time visibility and securing more profitable loads while gaining advantages as a preferred carrier.

“As Girteka, the largest asset-based transportation company in Europe, we have a clear aim to be the obvious first choice for clients, colleagues, partners, the community, and shareholders,” said Edvardas Liachovičius, CEO of Girteka Holding. “As a company, we have developed a solid foundation towards shaping the future intelligent enterprise and strategically investing into technologies that support our vision to become the market shaping, Top 10 European logistics leader. We have a strong long-term partnership with project44, and already leverage their market-recognised RTV solution. The next step is to leverage the Movement platform which will allow us to better manage data from carriers and customers enabling greater collaboration, access to real-time insights and streamlined workflows across the supply chain.”

Movement’s user interface is highly adaptive and more intuitive and useful to a broad audience, and project44’s ecosystem partnerships and API-first architecture makes Movement compatible with any third-party or system. Both the back-end architecture of the product and UX have been redesigned to optimise customer experience.

Describing itself as the partner of choice for more top global supply chains than any other technology, project44 is a market leader, as recognised by independent analysts and in user and customer reviews. This gives project44 the insight, scale, skills and partnerships necessary to build a single platform capable of making supply chains work for everyone: Movement by project44.

“Most visibility vendors offer a single mode or narrow set of capabilities,” McCandless added. “They talk about a ‘single pane of glass,’ but without the ability to adapt to a user’s preferences, these solutions are one dimensional, which is a thing of the past. Movement is the future. It’s multidimensional, where each facet presents a unique perspective tailored to the user’s requirements. This level of configurability, value and collaboration is necessary to tackle the world’s biggest supply chain challenges. The name ‘Movement’ represents the part we all play in solving them, inside or outside the industry.”

Safe with only one sensor

Leuze has launched the world’s first safety bar code positioning system. With the FBPS 600i, only one device is needed for safe position detection.

In the past, system manufacturers had to use two sensors and two different technologies for position detection. But not anymore: The new FBPS 600i safety bar code positioning system from Leuze enables position detection with a single sensor.

The FBPS 600i is connected to a safe evaluation unit via two SSI interfaces and is suitable for applications up to performance level e.

In intralogistics, it is important that the stacker cranes and transverse transfer cars pose no danger to the staff. The position and speed must be monitored during maintenance work or when operating with a manned car. Until now, system manufacturers had to use a redundant setup with two sensors in order to meet performance level d.

This problem is now solved with the new single-sensor safety bar code positioning system FBPS 600i, which already meets the requirements of performance level e. This means that safety functions can now be easily implemented. The unit is connected to a safe connection unit, for example, a frequency inverter, via two SSI interfaces. The FBPS 600i also requires less space in the system, and the installation effort is reduced significantly.

Ideal for quick movements

The FBPS 600i has an impressive error reaction time of only ten milliseconds. This makes it especially suitable for position detection when quick movements are involved. Important parameters, such as the speed curves and the throughput can be optimised as a result. The sensor’s large working range of 50–170 millimetres also enables flexible integration in different types of systems.

The new safety bar code positioning system is installed on the stacker crane or transverse transfer car. A bar code tape is affixed on the opposite rack. In the development of the FBPS 600i, the Sensor People emphasised maximum reliability: With every scanning pass, the FBPS 600i reads multiple codes of the tape, from which the software determines highly precise position values.

The sensor scans the code at various locations through the diagonal path of the scanning beam and the movement of the transfer car. This prevents reading errors caused by local soiling or damage. The self-adhesive bar code tape, which was optimised for industrial application, also facilitates flawless operation: It is UV resistant, extremely resilient, and mechanically durable. In addition, the printed position values are easy to read and simplify handling.

The well-thought-out fastening concept with a quick-change system ensures simple mounting of the FBPS 600i devices. The device can be safely secured with an easy-to-access screw on the mounting clamp. This saves time during assembly.

“Selling Baoli creates strong customer relationships”

Baoli EMEA S.p.A., the forklift truck manufacturer which is part of the KION Group, is currently present in 52 countries and pursues the ambitious goal of being successfully represented in 86 markets in the EMEA economic area in the coming years. The company’s growth in Italy is particularly positive. We wanted to find out why this is the case and spoke to Marco Vettorel, Sales Manager of the forklift truck dealer RENT Srl. in Fiume Veneto (PN), Italy, explains why this is the case.

Q: How long have you been working with Baoli?

Marco Vettorel (MV): Our cooperation with Baoli began in 2016 – initially very cautiously – with the order of the first machines.  We were surprised by the result. Our impression of the delivered forklifts was extremely positive, and we were very satisfied with the quality.  We then strengthened our commitment to spreading this brand by familiarising our technicians with Baoli products through specific training.

By now, we can say that the Baoli brand represents a significant share of our business. After all, Baoli also enables us to successfully serve those customers who only have basic needs for their forklift fleet. As a dealer, we therefore try to always have a sufficient stock of Baoli equipment. We currently have almost 25 vehicles in various configurations ready for delivery. This enables us to fulfil our customers’ wishes very quickly.

Q: Have there never been any problems or even doubts about the cooperation?

MV: Indeed, in the first phase of our cooperation – i.e. in the phase of getting to know each other – there were some problems with the Baoli products. These were mainly related to the availability of spare parts. Necessary parts were difficult to obtain, which significantly prolonged repair times. This changed dramatically when Baoli EMEA set up a centre in Rolo, Italy, from which all sales, customer service and marketing activities in the EMEA region are managed.  This centre is now essential for the delivery of spare parts and even new forklifts. In other words: With this centre, our confidence in the brand has noticeably improved.

Q: So, are you convinced today that Baoli is a quality brand?

MV: Definitely. Our sales figures show that the market perceives the Baoli brand as a reliable and high-quality brand. In 2021, Baoli recorded almost 1,400 orders on the Italian market. This corresponds to a market share of about 1.6%. By May 2022, more than 800 orders had already been received. So, it looks like we will sell even more trucks from this manufacturer this year than last year. Moreover, considering that the Baoli brand was established only a few years ago, achieving a market share of 1.6% is really a good testimony to the work done.  However, we should not rest on our laurels: there is still enough for all of us to do to make the brand even more successful in the markets.

Q: What would you describe as the most important quality features of a Baoli product?

MV: Baoli products are robust, simple and safe – without unnecessary technical accessories that could affect the reliability of the machines over time due to possible failures. In addition, our customers very much appreciate that the vehicles are built with little plastic but a lot of metal. This gives the impression of incomparable solidity. Therefore, Baoli machines are often sold to customers where the decision-maker is also the subsequent user of the truck.  Once he has recognised the quality and the essential nature of the design, the sale is usually closed.

Q: So, in your opinion, the quality of Baoli products is better than that of other manufacturers from the Asian region?

MV: Of course! It definitely is. Compared to most Chinese manufacturers, the Baoli brand stands out especially in warehouse equipment and electric forklifts, which are the most important market segments for our markets.  In addition, there is the Baoli range of IC engine-powered equipment. These are also excellent products that very precisely cover the needs of our customers.

Q: How important is it for you that Baoli is part of the KION Group?

MV: Very important! It is easier for us to present the KION Groups strategy to customers and to make it clear that Baoli can definitely have its place in a market that has already grown and that it also stands out clearly from the offerings of other Chinese brands. After all, RENT is part of a group of companies that also includes other KION Group brands. This means that our customers are very often in a position to compare models from different brands and choose the most suitable product for themselves. Baoli expands our product range enormously and, in my opinion, this is particularly important for our business, and also for our customers.

Q: What “rating” do your customers give to the quality and services offered by Baoli?

MV: We permanently check the level of customer satisfaction and the reliability of the forklifts by, among other things, checking the quantity of original spare parts ordered from Baoli. Every time we do this, we are genuinely amazed at the very low number of requests we have.  In my opinion, this is a very clear quality criterion.

Q: In your experience, how important is the product price for the purchase decision of your customers?

MV: The price is of course an important factor for many of our customers, even if it is not fundamental. Often our customers say: “This is exactly what I was looking for and what I need”.  In my experience, customers who were not in contact with Baoli products before evaluate them according to the criteria of quality, price, services and the value of the used vehicle, in that order. If we succeed in arguing positively on all four points, then a purchase is usually concluded. With Baoli machines we very often succeed in this argumentation.

Q: What is a typical sales negotiation like for you?

MV: Of course, these negotiations are very individual. However, this much can be said: The sale of Baoli products creates a very strong relationship with the customer. In this day and age of “dematerialisation and digitalisation”, an “old-fashioned” relationship is maintained. Thus, almost all negotiations take place on site at the customer. The machine is presented there, tested together and evaluated.

Q: How many Baoli forklifts do you sell on average per year?

MV: Since we set up a sales team for the Baoli project, the number of forklifts sold has more than doubled. This year we will reach this milestone a few months before the end of the year.

Q: Do you have some particularly important customers for whom Baoli was the best choice and whose story you would like to tell us briefly?

MV: There is a lot to tell. But I will limit myself to two short stories. For example, we provided one of our customers with a forklift truck on loan to cover their production peaks, and offered them a 2.5-tonne Baoli forklift truck with an internal combustion engine. At first, the customer was a little hesitant. Today, two years later, he is replacing his old forklift truck from another manufacturer with exactly this Baoli vehicle. There is another customer who works with his forklifts in cold storage. We replaced his old forklifts with the Baoli ES series and were able to offer him more safety and reliability.

Q: Do you have any ideas on how the business with Baoli could be further expanded?

MV: A “zero-percent financing” for our end customers, which is also supported by Baoli, would be desirable. Otherwise, the cooperation is going very well from my point of view. For example, we were successful in targeting some market segments already occupied by other providers together with Baoli and by developing corresponding strategies. I am sure that together we will generate much more market share.

New cross-dock terminal in heart of Europe

DB Schenker, one of the world’s leading global logistics service providers, has moved into a new, sustainable cross-dock terminal in the greater Ulm area at Herbrechtingen. DB Schenker serves numerous customers in the economic region, particularly from the food industry, the building materials industry and mechanical engineering. At the same time, Ulm is an important hub in DB Schenker’s high-performance European land transport network.

The new terminal, which is located in the direct vicinity of the A7 autobahn as an important north-south link and the A8 in the Stuttgart-Munich connection, went into operation at the end of June 2022. On a site area of 40,000 sq m, DB Schenker in Herbrechtingen now has 7,000 sq m of logistics space for transshipment and 74 truck ramps. On 23rd September, the successful move was celebrated with employees, customers and representatives of local politics at the premises.

“We have achieved a very good density of our land transport network with our current premises in Germany and Europe,” says Ralf Többe, Head of Land Transport at DB Schenker in the Germany/Switzerland cluster. “Through modernisations, branch expansions and new buildings like the one here in Herbrechtingen, we are increasing our capacity and performance within this network, positioning ourselves for further growth in Europe.”

Iris Steiner, Head of the Land office at the Herbrechtingen facility, adds: “By doubling the terminal area to 7,000 sq m, we have optimised our loading and unloading processes. This ensures particularly fast and punctual handling and at the same time creates better conditions for employees and, of course, our drivers. After just a few weeks of operation in the new terminal, we were able to achieve a significant increase in throughput. We are ideally prepared for upcoming new customer business.”

Sustainable performance

The relocation of the land transport office in Ulm to the new multifunctional cross-dock terminal in Herbrechtingen creates the best conditions for further growth. Great importance was attributed to sustainability in the construction of the new building. The new terminal is DGNB Gold certified. The photovoltaic installation is currently being planned. Several e-charging stations are available for e-transporters as well as for employees’ vehicles.

Socially sustainable is above all the design of the infrastructure for employees. With 2,000 sq m of office and social space as well as around 15,200 sq m of paved outdoor areas and generous social rooms, the facility is also an inviting and comfortable base for drivers. The premises employs 100 people.

New advanced stackers join UniCarriers line-up

UniCarriers has extended its product line with the addition of 16 new pedestrian stacker trucks. Available in models ranging from 1 to 1.6 tonnes, the MSF and MSW stackers excel at picking, loading, unloading, shuttling and stacking up to 5.4 metres.

The MSF features a damped fold-down platform making it ideally suited to tasks where operators are required to travel over long distances. Several MSW and MSF stackers also come with initial lift which allow high ground clearance for ramp work. On 1.6-tonne models, side stabilisers keep the truck steady to enable operators to safely lift heavy loads to a higher height. For optimal productivity, some models are available for double pallet stacking using the initial lift on the support forks.

MSF and MSW stackers feature an advanced tiller head that is fully weather and IP65 protected for use in all climate conditions. Large, ergonomic buttons mean handling is easy and comfortable throughout long shifts helping to reduce fatigue and ensure the operator can stay focused. The tiller is also placed at an optimum height for better visibility and safer handling.

Powerful and enduring

Minimal maintenance and downtime are key factors in the hard-working MSF and MSW stackers. The robust chassis is built to endure heavy-duty tasks in the toughest conditions while protecting components to prolong service life. The narrow truck width also offers exceptional manoeuvrability when working in tight spaces.

The new MSF and MSW stackers utilise AC drive motor technology which delivers more torque for greater efficiency, smoother handling, supports easier control resulting in less damage, and ensures a longer lasting battery. For reliable power, these new stackers have the option of high-performance lithium-ion batteries, which offer opportunity charging for complete operational flexibility.

Standard features include an LCD display on all stacker models to show truck mode and error codes. Optional features are also available including accessory racks, load backrests and PIN code login.

As part of UniCarriers’ full-maintenance site support, all stackers utilise a modular build using fewer components for faster repairs and servicing.
