Foldable Pallet Box for Bigger Items

Posted on by David Priestman

Goplasticpallets.com, a plastic pallet supplier, has expanded its portfolio of award-winning foldable pallet boxes to help businesses make significant time and cost savings when transporting bulkier items through their supply chains.

Incorporating an innovative design, the CabCube 1612 is the new SleevePack product from Cabka launched exclusively to the UK market by goplasticpallets.com. Measuring 1610mm x 1208mm x 750mm, the pallet box offers an increased base surface area for transporting, storing and picking bigger goods. The CabCube 1612 provides an environmentally friendly alternative to one-time use cardboard boxes and shrink wrap – whilst the robust sleeve pack and strong and secure lid reduces product damage and subsequent costs. All components are 100% recyclable at the end of their long service life.

This new pallet box – which has a load capacity of 350 kg – has been specifically designed for optimal stacking stability, both in the warehouse and during transit. When packed with products, the CabCube 1612 can be stacked four high in a standard 40 ft curtain side trailer, which means the vehicle can carry a total of 64 units. When emptied, it folds flat to a height of just 251mm, enabling 192 units to be loaded on the return leg. This provides a 69% volume reduction and a return ratio of 1:3.25, allowing businesses to significantly reduce the use of vehicles and make key savings on transportation costs.

The CabCube 1612 is quickly folded flat and is stored inside the base with the lid placed on top to ensure that the three components are transported together ready for re-use. The product can also be RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification) and IoT (Internet of Things) enabled, for greater transparency and visibility, whilst customised sleeve heights and door configurations are available, to support simpler picking and packing.

In addition to the CabCube 1612, goplasticpallets.com has also added two new folding pallet collars to its product range, to guarantee increased levels of security and protection when unpacking and picking goods in warehouses. The CabFrame 1210 (which fits a UK standard pallet) and CabFrame 1208 (which attaches to a typical Euro sized pallet) can be stacked upon one another – normally up to five high – to create a reconfigurable “pallet box” that offers maximum product retention and protection to items as they move their way through the warehouse.

Jim Hardisty, Managing Director at goplasticpallets.com, said: “In the current climate, businesses must explore new ways to increase efficiencies and streamline operations. The CabCube 1612 is a fantastic product that businesses can use to optimise their supply chains and save on vital warehouse space and transportation costs.

“This strong and robust pallet box will not only reduce stock damages, but it also removes the need for one-time use cardboard boxes and shrink wrap, which benefits the environment. We are already seeing several of our existing customers – including pharmaceutical companies, fulfilment houses and leading supermarkets – embed this product across their supply chains with huge success, including within automated systems.

“We are pleased to further strengthen our long-standing relationship with Cabka by launching the CabCube 1612, plus the innovative CabFrame 1210 and CabFrame 1208, to the UK market.”

Freeport East Gets UK Government Approval

Posted on by David Priestman

Freeport East has received final Government approvals today (Tuesday 10th January), allowing it to move forward into the delivery phase. The development of the Freeport, which might create up to 13,500 new jobs, will be boosted by £25 million in Government funding to support infrastructure enhancement.

Welcoming the news, Steve Beel, Chief Executive of Freeport East, said: “This is a major milestone for Freeport East and the result of a great deal of hard work from all our partner organisations. Freeport East is a locally-led initiative but has global connections and ambition. Bringing together key stakeholders including local government, the private sector, and educational institutions we will attract new investment to create a hotbed for trade, innovation and green energy driving growth in both the regional and national economies. We will look to partner and collaborate with all organisations interested in the economic success of the region and encourage parties to get in touch with us directly.”

‘Levelling Up’ Tory Minister Dehenna Davison claimed: “Today is a historic day for many port towns and coastal communities across East Anglia, as Freeport East takes flight. This Freeport is going to give local economies a massive boost, unlock a new state of the art business space and create tens of thousands of highly skilled jobs,” she exaggerated. “We are maximising the opportunities of leaving the European Union to drive growth and throw our doors open to trade with the world.” She failed to state that Freeports were, of course, permitted when the UK was a member of the EU.

Freeport East covers an area within roughly 45 kilometres of the ports of Felixstowe and Harwich, stretching from Woodbridge in the north, to Stowmarket in the west and Jaywick Sands in the south. Colchester and Ipswich are both key parts of the Freeport economic area. The Freeport has three main development sites at the Port of Felixstowe, Harwich International Port and Gateway 14 near Stowmarket. Freeport East will be able to collect and deploy 100% of the business rates growth generated on these sites for the next 25 years, providing millions of pounds of financial backing to invest in regeneration, skills and innovation across the local area.

Work has already commenced on the Gateway 14 development and there are ambitious plans to create a green energy hub in Harwich to serve sectors including offshore wind.
All the developments have an emphasis on supporting innovation, skills development and net zero as well as acting as anchors for wider economic impact.

The Universities of Essex and Suffolk as well as a range of other partners in the region have committed to working with Freeport East and its businesses to accelerate innovation across operations, products and services. They will also help unlock further investment in research and development to boost development of the area’s knowledge-based economy.

Freeport East is one of eight new Freeports in England announced by the Chancellor of the Exchequer on 3rd March 2021. The UK Government claims it will be a hub for global trade and national regeneration, but they are unlikely to have much significant net economic benefit or undo the damage of Britain’s departure from the European customs union and single market.

With its global links and existing innovative sectoral clusters, Freeport East hopes to attract inward international investment and drive domestic growth. Covering Britain’s busiest container port, two major ferry ports and located close to the East Coast green energy cluster, Freeport East offers a unique combination of advantages to benefit traders, manufacturers and clean energy suppliers.

Freeport East comprises a mix of policy mechanisms designed to facilitate economic growth and levelling up. These include targeted tax benefits to bring forward key development sites, a novel customs regime to facilitate customs site development, and targeted Government support and regulatory engagement to unlock barriers to innovation and strengthen trade and inward investment opportunities.

The Founding Members of Freeport East Limited are Essex County Council, Suffolk County Council, Tendring District Council, Mid Suffolk District Council, East Suffolk District Council, The Port of Felixstowe, Gateway 14, Harwich International Port, New Anglia LEP and the University of Essex.

Wilhelmshaven Connects to South Germany

Posted on by Keith McKinley

EUROGATE Intermodal GmbH (EGIM), Hamburg-based provider of combined transport, will include EUROGATE Container Terminal Wilhelmshaven (CTW) in its network of rail connections starting mid-January 2023.

Beginning 16th January 2023, EGIM will add Wilhelmshaven, Germany’s only deep-water port, to its portfolio of connections. In Q1, EGIM will offer direct services between CTW and Duisburg, Munich, Nuremberg and Kornwestheim. Shortly after, connections to Ulm, Mannheim and Frankfurt/Main will be added to the offering in Q2. By June 2023, EGIM plans to increase its frequency of connections to 13 roundtrips per week.

Sustainable rail transport is important for the future development of Wilhelmshaven, and the direct connections now available to the JadeWeserPort (JWP) by electric locomotive are a key part of the port’s sustainable growth. As part of its own strategy, EGIM is committed to strengthening its range of climate-friendly transport solutions to destinations across both southern Germany and western Germany. Here, new corridors are being consistently opened, and in the future, these areas will have new connections to Wilhelmshaven. The expansion of rail infrastructure between Wilhelmshaven and regions along the Rhine will further accelerate this development and change the flow of cargo, as trains will be able to travel directly and efficiently to the quayside in Lower Saxony.

All new Wilhelmshaven connections can also be booked via railMybox, the fully digital booking platform launched in early May 2022. This user-friendly system, which offers guaranteed capacity at fixed price, is recording a steady increase in registrations and bookings.

As the shipping sector sees a new generation of super-sized container vessels, JWP’s 18-metre water depths allow the huge new ships to dock fully loaded, independent of the tide at any time of night or day. Eight shipping lines have already included JWP in their schedules and are benefitting from the port’s advantageous positioning. As a result of the port’s increasing importance, CTW is experiencing high growth rates and achieved a record-breaking throughput of 712,953 TEU in 2021.

EUROGATE Intermodal GmbH (EGIM) is an international service provider for container transport headquartered in Hamburg, Germany. Part of the EUROGATE Group, EGIM is one of Germany’s leading neutral providers of combined transport for containers by rail and road.
EGIM is a founding member of the private rail service company boxXpress.de GmbH, and with this product, connects the German North Sea ports and Rotterdam with eleven terminals in southern Germany and Hungary. Alongside its rail services, EGIM offers services for the first and last mile via truck.
Through its sister company Hannibal, which belongs to the Italian Contship Group, EGIM offers connections to Italy via its central hub Munich, thereby also connecting the southern ports to the network.

Saudi Ports Record 13% Rise in Freight

Posted on by David Priestman

The Kingdom’s maritime Saudi ports trade hubs have seen a yearly increase of 13% in cargo throughput during the year 2022, handling an estimated 237 million tons compared to 210 million tons in the preceding year.

The annual results mirror the mission of the Saudi Ports Authority (Mawani) to transform the nation’s ports into an operationally-efficient and robustly-regulated industry thriving on streamlined processes, high-impact partnerships, world-class infrastructure, global connectivity, digital transformation, and top-tier customer experience while fulfilling the Kingdom’s logistics hub ambitions set by the National Transport and Logistics Strategy (NTLS).

The year-end statistics for 2022 highlight a 3.2% surge in container volumes at 10.3 million TEUs in contrast to 10.04 million TEUs a year earlier. A further look at the sub-categories reveal a 5% boom in imported and exported boxes to 4.8 million TEUs from 4.6 million TEUs in the previous period. Similarly, trans-shipments inched up by 2% to hit 5.5 million tons in comparison to 2021’s tally of 5.4 million TEUs.

On the commodities front, Saudi ports unloaded around 3.93 million cattle heads across 2022, up 9% year-on-year over the prior year’s total of 3.62 million. Likewise, 973,000 cars rolled off incoming vessels at a 25% growth rate versus 778,000 units previously.

The Kingdom’s trade gateways also welcomed 933,000 passengers over the course of 2022, a 36% spike from 2021 when 688,000 pax landed on the country’s shores.

AGV Solution: Automation in 2-3 days

Posted on by David Priestman

BILA has removed the three biggest obstacles for getting an easy and quick start with an AGV solution for the automation of pallet transport. The solution is called Global AGV – an innovative solution that has been created through 30 years of practical know-how and technical experience with automation across branches and industries – and that is the main reason for its simplicity and user-friendliness.

Automation solution with quick installation

Three things prevent many industrial companies from automating logistics in their factories and warehouses; automation tends to be expensive, inconvenient, and incredibly time-consuming to implement self-driving forklifts. It doesn’t have to be that way. Not anymore. It is easy to automate A-B pallet transport regardless of company size or type with the adaptable Global AGV. The driverless forklift truck from BILA solves routine tasks and eliminates bottlenecks and production stops easily and efficiently. This frees up valuable resources for e.g. quality assurance.

LEGO Mindstorm, 50 standard blocks and extensive experience with automation

The biggest advantage of Global AGV is how simple and user-friendly it is. The reason behind its simplicity can be found in the parent company BILA A/S. As Scandinavia’s largest automation company, BILA has helped automate and innovate the internal logistics of many national and international companies for over 30 years. And it is the practical experience and technical know-how acquired over the years that form the foundation for Global AGV.

In other words, Global AGV was created out of integrated knowledge of automation, where we have taken the best of the best and gathered it in a simple and user-friendly system. “With countless installations and projects through the years – from single stand-alone products to large and complex projects – we understand the challenges the customer encounters in connection with an automation project. Successfully implementing automation is about looking at the company’s starting and ending point, and what needs to change in terms of mindset to reach the goal in the best way possible,” says Kim Rimer Andersen, Product Manager, Global AGV.

The result is a self-driving forklift truck with a LEGO Mindstorm-like setup: a drag and drop structure with more than 50 standard blocks that you can easily implement in the construction of flows and route combinations. You don’t need special skills nor PLC programmers when you install a Global AGV. A few days of employee-training is all you need.

“We have seen many solutions over the past few years but have not come across such a simple solution as the AGV, we have now chosen from Global AGV. The AGV was by far the preferable choice in a production like ours. The process of implementing the AGV solution has been easy to initiate. It is both easy to install and start up, which is a big advantage for us,” says Søren Kristensen, Factory Manager at Lantmännen Unibake.

Save 60%

AGV solutions are no longer reserved for large companies with huge budgets. With Global AGV, optimising internal transport is no longer a huge project, but something that can be implemented in less than a week – and even with a 60% saving on day-to-day performance. And Global AGV is the simplest stand-alone logistics solution on the market. The AGV is easy to install and can be operated by anyone. Thanks to the simple software and intuitive interface, it only takes a few days on average to install and commission the driverless forklift. Due to its flexibility, it can be modulated and adapted to your requirements, making it easy to integrate into your existing production environment.

For increased flexibility, the machine is equipped with dual-mode technology, which enables immediate switching between automatic and manual operation. All in all, the Global AGV is perfect in a dynamic production environment with many A-B pallet transports.

“The AGV solution is a good example of added value in the overall production flow. The self-driving truck basically takes care of itself and drives without problems on the well-defined routes from A to B. It’s easy, simple, and straightforward. We can easily change the driving route or other functions, so that the AGV solution can be adapted if, for example, it has to drive longer or stack in new ways,” says team leader Allan Poulsen from Arla Foods in Rødkærsbro.
