Dambach at ProMAT Chicago

Posted on 13 February, 2023 by David Priestman

DAMBACH Lagersysteme is excited to participate in the upcoming ProMAT 2023 trade fair in Chicago, running from 20th to 23rd March 2023. The booth (S1518) will showcase the newest development in material handling for pallets and small parts – the advanced MONOFLEX rail guided vehicle with hybrid conveyor. This event offers a fantastic opportunity for visitors to learn about the latest industry advancements and to experience DAMBACH Lagersysteme’s cutting-edge solutions first hand.

Where efficiency and high availability are critical, electrically driven rail guided vehicles are often the better alternative to classic continuous conveyors. In order to be able to offer maximum flexibility for intralogistics, DAMBACH Lagersysteme GmbH & Co. KG has optimized its proven MONOFLEX rail guided vehicle: The high-performance transport system is now also suitable for transporting several small load carriers. As a result, mixed transportation of mini-loads or unit-loads with the Rail Cart is possible. One of the many advantages is the sorting function of both pallet and small parts within the same subsystem. Thanks to special transfer stations, the delivery of the small load carriers takes place quickly and saves time in the picking process.

In order to dynamically accommodate highly versatile storage mediums, the MONOFLEX system can be modularly expanded with the new small parts materials handling technology. The on-board conveyor can be loaded with cardboard boxes or trays. In this way, a variety of material flows can be achieved by using decentralized controlled conveyor elements. In addition, the powerful material flow system (MFS) manages the rail guided vehicles as well as the overall transport strategies. With an easy interface to various ERP or warehouse management systems (WMS) it is the perfect fit to many systems.

DAMBACH invites attendees of ProMAT to visit booth at S1518 to learn more about MONOFLEX and all DAMBACH Lagersysteme products and how it will benefit your business. A team of experts will be available to discuss specific material handling requirements and how to tailor a solution to meet your needs. You are welcome to make an appointment in advance: sales@dambach-lagersysteme.com

Iptor, a provider of cloud-based ERP software solutions for the distribution, timber, publishing and pharma industries, today announces a series of leadership promotions, establishing the executive team that will drive continued growth.

Having successfully transformed Iptor, alongside CEO Jayne Archbold, by developing it into a cloud business through the launch of Iptor.com and acquiring TimberTec and PLX, whilst also driving 79% EBITDA growth since 2016, Christopher Catterfeld, Iptor Chief Marketing and Product Officer is promoted to Group Chief Marketing Officer of GSG GENII Software Group, Iptor’s parent company. GENII is the home for market-leading, niche enterprise software businesses, whose solutions manage the most critical business processes of mid-sized companies across five vertical markets – Distribution, Manufacturing, Retail, Public Services and Laboratories, with Iptor being its main Distribution ERP solution. Catterfeld, who will also retain his current role, will focus his energy on developing the GENII brand, building marketing synergies across the Group as well as identifying growth acceleration and new acquisitions.
Further leadership changes are as follows:

• Jessica Hayes, who joined Iptor in January 2021 as EVP Products & Strategy, is appointed as President EMEA. Jessica will take on all day-today responsibilities for leading Iptor in this region.
• Kristian Niklasson, who previously led Iptor’s Nordic countries, is appointed Managing Director of TimberTec, focusing on the expansion of this business in new geographies, especially the Nordics. Niklasson will form part of the TimberTec management team together with founders Andreas Boll and Frank Ridder.
• Bart Monstrey, who previously led Iptor’s European business will now focus on taking PLX into new countries as its growth accelerates, initially in Benelux and France.
• In the US region, Mark Tredgold is taking over the regional President role from Jim Smith, who will remain part of the leadership team to support the transition.

Jayne Archbold, Iptor CEO and Interim Head of People across GENII Group, comments, “I am delighted that that we have been able to make these promotions, which demonstrate the depth of talent we have. These leaders, combined with the investments we have made, have had a dramatic impact on our business performance, delivering continued growth for Iptor and excellent value for our customers. Jessica is the ideal person to lead Iptor and the wider GENII Distribution business as it grows and scales, whilst Kristian and Bart have the market expertise that is required to expand TimberTec and PLX’s geographic reach. Having worked alongside Christopher for many years I know he is the best person to lead marketing for the Group as we replicate Iptor’s growth strategy across the wider business.”

TSC Printronix Auto ID Adds UK Repairs

Posted on 13 February, 2023 by David Priestman

UK end-users and channel partners no longer face time delays or transportation costs returning failed TSC or Printronix branded printers to Germany for repair, as TSC Printronix Auto ID has just opened a UK repair centre to better support this region.

“By opening a satellite repair centre in the UK, we can deliver faster resolution of repairs and a more cost-effective service for our distributors (VAD), resellers (VAR) and end customers nationally,” says Jaime de Sousa, Service Specialist, TSC Printronix Auto ID EMEA. “The centre enables us to abolish the shipping and import/export charges of returning failed printers to and from Germany, as well as get rid of delays caused by completing paperwork and awaiting custom checks. A UK base also ensures greater spare parts availability and alleviates any language barriers,” suggests Jaime.

In practice, end users will report TSC printer faults to their VAR or VAD who will troubleshoot the issue with TSC’s technical team in Germany. Targeted repair times will typically fall within 3-7 days of receiving the device, depending on spare parts availability and the type of failure. The satellite centre will repair in-warranty and potentially out-of-warranty printers. Only full printers, complete with options and accessories, will be accepted not parts for repair. “This new UK repair facility reinforces our commitment to better supporting the country’s end-users and our channel partners and demonstrates our dedication to improving customer service here. It will be a seamless, more efficient process to repair and return hardware, with the repairs carried out by TSC Printronix Auto ID certified engineers,” says Jaime.

New repair centre notwithstanding, end customers and VARs can alternatively choose on-site service. This resource is not provided by the new satellite repair centre and more information can be found about the programme at https://emea.tscprinters.com/en/service-programs
