UniCarriers Americas Announces Vegusa Maquinaria as its President's Award Winner

CHICAGO - November 2016 - UniCarriers Americas Corporation (UCA) announces Vegusa Maquinaria, located in Aguascalientes, Mexico, as its President's Award winner.

In November, UCA celebrated the top ten dealers with the first ever UniCarriers Americas' President's Club Award Dinner, which replaced the Nissan Nine. As part of the celebration, UCA selected one stand out dealer as the official President's Award winner. To earn this prestigious award, a dealership must excel in many areas, including: new equipment sales, parts sales, market share and service excellence. The dealer must also possess the characteristics of UCA's Never Quit attitude, always going the extra mile and accepting any and all challenges. This year, the President's Award winner was named as Vegusa Maquinaria. This is the first time, within 26 years, the President's Award was presented to a dealer in Latin America.


"While we are fortunate to work with so many dealers that are well-deserving of praise and recognition, our President's Award is reserved for companies on a higher echelon," said James J. Radous III, president at UCA. "Through expanding its territory, improving its facilities and continually reinventing how it represents UCA, Vegusa Maquinaria is a company that leads by example and, without a doubt, embodies the Never Quit attitude."

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.

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