Logistics Business Show attracts strong audience

The second staging of the Logistics Business Show – held online last month – has been deemed a success, with over 3,500 visitors logging in to watch the exclusive round-table industry talks and visiting the 73 exhibitor booths.

Of the 3,619 visitors, over two-thirds were from outside the UK, reflecting Logistics Business’ truly international audience. The countries most represented by visitors included Germany, the US, The Netherlands and Italy.

With 39 speakers taking part in the 10 panel debates, expertly hosted by our own Paul Hamblin, the most viewed were ‘Logistics: The 2030 Logistics Landscape – Crystal ball time’ and ‘Warehouse Automation: Lights Out? The Future of Warehousing’, suggesting the audience is most interested in future technologies as ways of giving them a competitive edge.

Running in tandem with the conference was the online exhibition, which drew 4,500 visits. Visitors to the 73 exhibition booths had various ways to interact with the exhibitors, and  the most popular documents had 200 downloads, whereas the most popular exhibitor video was watched 220 times. As well as interaction with exhibitors, visitors were also encouraged to network amongst themselves, with almost 1,200 individual messages sent between visitors.

Depending on analysis of the visitor and exhibitor feedback, and in consideration of the situation regarding real-word events over the next 12 months, plans are being laid for a third staging of the Logistics Business Show in Spring 2022.

Logistics Business Show – panel discussions now online

With almost 4,000 visitors to The Logistics Business Show – which took place online from 20th-24th September 2021 – the second-ever staging of the event has been deemed a great success.

The most popular aspect proved to be the 10 industry round-table sessions, moderated by Logistics Business editor Paul Hamblin, which covered current challenges and future opportunities across the major sub-sectors of the transport and logistics industry.

All 10 of these sessions are now available to view free of charge, both here on the Logistics Business website, and also on our YouTube channel.

Minebea Intec widens range of industrial scales

With the introduction of the Puro series of industrial scales, Minebea Intec says its leading technologies are now available in an affordable range.

With an extensive range and a variety of applications, a large number of innovative industrial weighing solutions are now available as part of the Puro range. Minebea Intec says this means that customers benefit from a high-quality product from a leading manufacturer of weighing and inspection technology, that is available at an affordable price. Every model is created with the customer’s requirements in mind.

Just one look at the industrial scale Puro is enough to see why it pays to choose a globally recognised provider of weighing and inspection technologies: thanks to its decades of expertise, Minebea Intec knows what customers consider important. During development, the primary focus was on making the product easy for customers to operate. This is directly reflected in many of the new weighing solution’s features.

Intuitive operation and optimum customer convenience

Large displays on the front and back with LCD backlight guarantee optimal readability, stabilisation in a matter of seconds provides immediate weighing results, and the tactile buttons ensure intuitive operation. Depending on the requirement profile, there are models offering features such as a rear display enabling users to read from both sides, a traffic light LED for checkweighing, and non-slip feet for use in challenging environments. The user interface is universally compatible, making handling easier for the user, regardless which model they are using.

“With Puro, we have reached another milestone.” explains Minebea Intec’s CSO Frank Wieland. “The innovative weighing solution represents the ideal addition to our portfolio, with fast delivery available anywhere in the world thanks to our smart distribution system: with three supply hubs in China, USA and Germany, we are able to ensure that our partners always have the right model in stock – which, in turn, means that the product is quickly available for the customer.”

With this innovative weighing solution, Minebea Intec is adding a fully portable scale with re-chargeable lithium-ion battery to its range. This gives the product up to 500 hours of service life, thereby delivering precise measurement results in the process. The product also impresses thanks to a weighing industry first: Puro is the first industrial scale in the world that can be charged via USB C.

Features like this truly make the Puro series a weighing solution of the future as customers no longer have to rely on often expensive manufacturer-specific power units and thus can charge their scale economically using the standard plug connector.

Convenience, precision and pure innovation

From the development phase onwards, care was taken to ensure the Puro product portfolio would cover a wide range of applications and customer requirements. The product is primarily suited for use in weighing, unit counting or quality control in the food, pharmaceutical and chemical industries and helps increase quality, efficiency and output of the process.

However, there are no restrictions on how you use the new range of scales, so they could also be used in other places such as specialist retailers.

With the Puro range, the customer benefits from a weighing solution that is intuitive and quick to use and, thanks to its robust materials, can also be used in challenging environments. Thanks to the optional Bluetooth or WiFi module, the Puro models can be connected wirelessly to PCs or printers and can be used in a fully location-independent manner.

Available worldwide and with the customer in just a few days

All models have one thing in common, as Product Manager Lena Silies underlines: “Our brand new industrial scale Puro not only impresses thanks to its design, the features and the versatile portfolio: fast delivery is also guaranteed thanks to distribution via certified partners and the Puro online store. Delivery is triggered online at the push of a button, and the customer has the scale within just a few days.” relates Silies.

A wide range of different models is available, covering a variety of applications. At the time of the market launch, the product portfolio covers compact scales, tabletop and floor scales as well as platform scales for tabletops. The individual models are available in different sizes, capacities and resolutions, thus covering wide range of applications. This is just the start: more products will soon be added to the Puro portfolio on an ongoing basis, so that we can provide our customers with the best possible selection of products.
