JOHN FOGERTY ANNOUNCED AS MUSICAL GUEST FOR 2018 MATERIAL HANDLING & LOGISTICS CONFERENCE

JOHN FOGERTY ANNOUNCED AS MUSICAL GUEST FOR 2018 MATERIAL HANDLING & LOGISTICS CONFERENCE

GRAND RAPIDS, MICHIGAN - MAY 23, 2018 — Dematic, a leading global supplier of integrated automated technology, software and services to optimize the supply chain, announced today John Fogerty as musical guest for their 2018 Material Handling & Logistics Conference (MHLC) in Park City, Utah, September 9-12, 2018.

Fogerty is a true American treasure, one of popular music's all-time greatest singers, guitar players, and songwriters. His remarkable career began with the massively popular and critically successful Creedence Clearwater Revival. As leader of CCR, Fogerty forged a distinctive, groundbreaking sound all his own, equal parts blues, country, pop, rockabilly, R&B, swamp boogie, and Southern fried rock 'n' roll, all united by his uniquely evocative lyrical perspective.


After CCR called it quits in 1972, Fogerty embarked on what would prove to be an equally impressive solo career. Among its many highlights are 1975's John Fogerty — featuring the rollicking "Rockin' All Over The World" — and 1985's #1 phenomenon, Centerfield, including the hit title track and "The Old Man Down The Road."

"One of the key elements of the MHLC is its emphasis on providing a relaxing, enjoyable environment for learning," says Scott Watts, Chief Executive Officer, Dematic, Americas. "John Fogerty as our musical guest will be a perfect fit with the world-class industry education and networking opportunities."

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.

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.
