Storax Racking Solutions | Flexspace will be featuring two high density storage solutions that help maximize space and reduce costs:

Poweracks- mobile storage racking system- maximizes space utilization through use of a moving aisle, which provides direct access to every pallet location and greatly reduces the number of static access aisles required. Wasted aisle space is converted to usage inventory space - increasing storage density by as much as 100% while providing the lowest cost per pallet, compared to all other storage options.

Ranger - a high density storage solution that automatically circulates pallets on a shuttle system by hand-held remote control or WiFi PDA. Utilizing advanced photocell technology, the Ranger intelligently detects and positions itself underneath a pallet to lift and move pallets within a deep lane tunnel rack system, leaving your operators free to execute other tasks.

Storax is a European based, worldwide leader in high-density storage systems. For more than 50 years, Storax has pushed engineering and design boundaries with installations in over 80 countries. Storax's product portfolio is now available in North America through Flexspace, an industrial solutions company with a focus on energy-reducing, space-saving, modular industrial solutions.

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.
