New Zebra Sensors Increase Supply Chain Visibility

Posted on by Keith McKinley

Zebra Technologies Corporation, a leading digital solution provider enabling businesses to intelligently connect data, assets, and people, has launched its new line of environmental sensors. The full solution, including the new ZS300 sensor, ZB200 Bridge and Android Sensor Discovery app, further expands Zebra’s opportunity to transform environmental exposures into customer insights.

Using these sensors, manufacturers, wholesalers, transportation and logistics operators in the food, pharmaceutical and healthcare industries now have cloud-based visibility into a range of environmental factors, including temperature monitoring and moisture detection. This will enable them to know if products have been maintained within appropriate conditions across the supply chain. The sensors help improve profitability by allowing users to take corrective action in real time and maximise their productivity with a more efficient data logger.

“We’re excited to expand our sensor technology to address the need for cost-effective supply chain visibility and data insights,” said Tony Cecchin, Vice President and General Manager, Supplies and Sensors, Zebra Technologies. “The ZS300 electronic sensor extends our robust portfolio, including visual and printable indicators, providing customers the ability to drive smarter business decisions, reduce waste and increase efficiency.”

Zebra understands its customers’ needs for continuous visibility into the handling of environmentally sensitive items, particularly for the food, pharmaceutical and healthcare industries that must move products safely across the supply chain. The new ZS300 electronic sensor addresses the current challenges faced with heightened consumer concerns about medications or food being compromised in transit with a secure cloud platform that makes it easy to integrate temperature logging into a wide variety of applications and systems of record. They are available in multipacks and include minimal biodegradable packaging and a no-cost recycling program to help reduce the impact on the environment.

Only four-in-10 pharmaceutical decision-makers surveyed in Zebra’s Pharmaceutical Supply Chain Vision Study said they completely trust the entities within the pharmaceutical supply chain to keep medications safe and uncompromised throughout the supply chain. And according to the Zebra Food Safety Supply Chain Vision Study, only an average of 37% of industry decision-makers and 20% of consumers place complete trust in the industry to ensure food and beverage safety.  Zebra is a market leader in asset tracking, and this new solution extends the power of Zebra’s mobile computers and tablets as data can be collected from these devices to provide immediate visibility to the temperature exposure of shipments.

Ivanti Wavelink, an Independent Software Vendor (ISV) partner, is one of the first to develop a software solution for the ZS300/ZB200 electronic sensors solution using APIs, SDKs and documentation from Zebra to provide temperature insights with location. The Ivanti Velocity Client and Ivanti’s Neurons for IIOT platform support the ZS300 solution to seamlessly enable the integration of environmental sensing into enterprise systems.

“Environmental sensors address critical needs of businesses in the market, and we are excited to collaborate with Zebra to deliver for our mutual customers,” said Brandon Black, Senior Vice President, and General Manager, Ivanti Wavelink. “Today, we are seeing customers place a lot more emphasis on monitoring the conditions of goods where spoilage can result in costly recalls and adversely affect their bottom lines. With Zebra, our combined solution helps customers gain a competitive edge while reducing risk.”

New Quay Cranes at Antwerp Gateway

Posted on by Keith McKinley

Three new quay cranes have arrived at DP World Antwerp Gateway, signifying the latest milestone in the terminal’s ambitious expansion and modernisation plan.

The cranes, which can handle up to a width of 26 container rows on a ship, were constructed by crane builder ZPMC and join a strong network of 10 cranes at the DP World terminal on the eastern side of the Deurganck dock.

The new cranes are part of DP World’s €200m investment plan for the modernisation, greening and capacity expansion of the terminal, initiated in 2019 and supported by the European Commission. The ultimate goal is to offer customers industry leading efficient, resilient and sustainable solutions.

Dirk Van den Bosch, CEO, DP World Antwerp Gateway, said: “DP World strongly believes in Antwerp’s position as a global trade hub and gateway to Europe. With our worldwide network and ever-expanding logistics services, our aim is to strengthen the competitiveness of the port and make it the engine of the Belgian economy.

“These cranes will enable us to handle our projected volume growth in the years ahead. With each new milestone we reach, we consolidate our place as one of Europe’s top ports and strengthen our position as a driver of positive change and economic growth.”

Jef Lambregts, Expansion Project Manager, DP World Antwerp Gateway, said: “Since the start of our investment programme in 2019, a new operational building and two automatic stacker crane modules have been delivered and become part of the improved operations at the terminal. In addition to the three new cranes, we will be commissioning three new automatic modules this year. Next year, we plan to add two more quay cranes to take us to a total of 15 STS (ship-to-shore) cranes.

“We are constantly investing in the most advanced equipment to increase our capacity for enhanced international trade flows.”

Rolling one crane from the ship to the rail tracks on the dock side is done via a special footbridge and takes approximately four to six hours. “Unloading these giants is a precarious job. All conditions such as weather, visibility, wind and water level must be perfect,” added Lambregts. “The whole operation takes about a week. After this, we will connect the cranes to the high voltage grid adjust the movements and install the container registration system to be able to commission the cranes by the summer.”

The crane park can simultaneously handle the largest container ships in the world, which can transport up to 24,000 containers (TEU). The latest cranes can handle up to a width of 26 container rows on a ship, which is one row more than on the current generation of container vessels.

Annick De Ridder, Vice-Mayor of the City of Antwerp and President of the board of directors of Port of Antwerp-Bruges, concluded: “Port of Antwerp-Bruges is the economic engine of Flanders. That engine keeps running, thanks to the substantial investments made by companies such as DP World. These three gigantic container cranes at the Antwerp Gateway terminal nicely illustrate the growth of the terminal. At the same time, these container cranes, large as they are, also fit nicely with the world port that we are.”

Europe’s Largest Robotic Parcel Sorting System Goes Live

Posted on by David Priestman

Europe’s largest automated robotic parcel sorting system has been installed in Turkey by the leading Turkish-owned parcel distribution and postal services company Kuryenet. The system was designed and fitted by LiBiao Robotics in conjunction with its Turkish distribution and after sales support partner, Lodamaster, at the Kuryenet facility in Tuzla, a small town on the outskirts of Istanbul.

As well as being the biggest robot-based sortation system in Europe, the Kuryenet installation is the first of its kind to be deployed in Turkey.

The sortation system – which uses 120 LiBiao ‘Mini Yellow’ autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) to connect over 700 destination chutes with five parcel induction points – has the capacity to process some 45,000 items per hour. Each of the fast-moving sorting robots has a load capacity of up to 10kg and uses collision avoidance technologies to perform their route-based sorting tasks safely.

At each induction station a worker places a parcel onto a waiting robot at which point the package’s shipping label is automatically scanned and a destination chute is assigned based on the town or city to which the parcel is bound.

The LiBiao ‘Mini Yellow’ robot’s navigation system directs each robot and its load to the assigned chute and, on arrival, the parcel is tipped into a waiting mail sack.

The control system indicates when a sack is full and detailed delivery information is printed and attached to the mailbag before it is transferred to the dispatch area and into the appropriate Kuryenet waiting delivery vehicle. Thanks to the efficiency and precision of the technology, accuracy of 99.9% is being achieved.

Since the installation of ‘Mini Yellow’ robot technology, Kuryenet has been able to reduce its labour costs significantly and, furthermore, because the LiBiao robots are highly energy efficient, running costs at the facility have been noticeably cut.

A five-minute charge is all that’s needed to achieve four hours of operation from the AMR’s maintenance-free battery and each robot is automatically instructed to take itself to the nearest battery charging point when topping-up is required.

A significant benefit of Kuryenet’s new sorting solution is the fact that because each individual robot can be replaced if required, the system does not suffer from  the downtime issues sometimes associated with some traditional conveyor-based sorting operations – where a single point of failure can bring the entire parcel sortation process to a time consuming and often costly halt.

“Time is very important in our industry, so the reliability of the robotic system was very attractive to us,” says Derya Aydin, Kuryenet’s Assistant General Manager of Operations.

LiBiao’s AMR range has been developed as a cost-efficient and flexible alternative to the tilt-tray and cross-belt conveyor-based sortation systems that have historically been used within many busy parcel sorting operations. Robots, chutes and induction stations can be added as required as Kuryenet’s demands grow while additional robots can be introduced as and when they are needed to provide future-proof flexibility.

Kuryenet’s automated robotic sortation system requires just one-fifth of the floor area needed by a traditional conveyor system and the project took just four weeks to complete from start-to-finish.

A 100% Turkish-owned business, Kuryenet has always been quick to adopt new technologies: it was the first Turkish parcel delivery company to employ barcode-based parcel tracking and reporting, for example, and with the introduction of the autonomous mobile robot-based parcel sortation solution the organisation is raising its customer service offering to another level.

“Our aim is to become a global brand in the parcel delivery sector,” says Aydin. “We believe that automation is the key to success in our industry and we have always been early adopters of pioneering technology and systems.

“We are delighted with the way that the robotic sortation system has integrated with the other technology that we deploy at our Tuzla facility. The installation went particularly smoothly with engineers from LiBiao and Lodamaster working closely with personnel from our operations team to ensure the success of the project.”
