RAYMOND HANDLING LAUNCHES PINK PALLET JACK ONLINE AUCTION TO BENEFIT BREAST CANCER CHARITIES

Raymond Handling Concepts Corporation (RHCC), a leading materials handling equipment supplier in Northern California and the Northwest, today opened its third annual "Pink Pallet Jack Project" online auction in support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The auction is currently live on eBay and will remain open until Thursday, October 27 at 12 p.m. PST. All proceeds raised from this year's auction will benefit the Tina Fund in Greene, New York and the HERS Breast Cancer Foundation in Fremont, California. Those interested in supporting the breast cancer charities can bid on the Raymond pink pallet jack here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/-/172378267945

The pallet jack up for auction this year is Raymond's pink 8210 Electric Pallet Truck, ideal for retail store, wholesale delivery and food processing applications that require more precise maneuverability in tight and/or congested areas.

"Raymond Handling Concepts Corporation has received remarkable support for our annual Pink Pallet Jack Project in the previous two years from our employees, customers, partners and local communities," comments Steve Raymond, President. "We are devoted not only as a market leader, but also as individual leaders within our communities, to continually advancing our efforts in the fight against breast cancer and the search for a cure."

Raymond Handling Concepts began its fundraising efforts early this year with its first "Beat Breast Cancer" rummage sale held in August at its offices in Auburn, Washington, where additional funds were raised for the Tina Fund and HERS Breast Cancer Foundation. Since 2014, Raymond Handling Concepts Corporation has raised more than $109,000 for charity, a large portion of this amount coming from the Pink Pallet Jack Project.

Open House
In addition to the auction, the company is opening its Fremont, California facility located at 41400 Boyce Road to the public for an open house on October 20, 2016 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. There will be live music and a raffle for various prizes including a manual pallet jack. The company's partners, customers and neighbors are invited to attend, meet Steve Raymond and see the pink pallet jack.

Australian supermarket chain rolls out AI-powered grocery carts

Grocery shoppers in Australia will soon be able to zip in and out of the store in record time, bypassing the lines for cashiers or self-checkout kiosks altogether. They can just walk in, make their selections, and walk out with their bags in hand.

The secret to this express shopping experience is the “Caper Cart,” an AI (artificial intelligence)-powered smart trolley from San Francisco-based Instacart. In its first deployment in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region, the system is being tested by Coles Supermarkets, a food and beverage retailer with more than 1,800 grocery and liquor stores throughout the country.

How green is your glue?

If you’re looking to make the packaging process more eco-friendly, the obvious place to start is with the box itself. And that’s exactly what Salt Lake City-based Packsize did when it made its initial foray into sustainable packaging back in 2002. That year, the company launched its first product, an innovative on-demand packaging system designed to reduce cardboard waste (and the need for filler material) by creating a right-sized box for each shipment.

Now the company is ready for the next step: greening up the glue.
