AMETEK Prestolite Power Launches Auto Range Curve Option For Diverse Charging Needs

February 2, 2016, Troy, OH - AMETEK Prestolite Power, a leading supplier of industrial battery chargers and fleet management solutions, has introduced Auto Range Curve, a dynamic software option for customers of its Eclipse II charger. Developed for conventional charging applications that use a diverse set of batteries and cell counts, the Auto Range Curve option has the ability to accept a minimum and a maximum amp hour capacity per cell size as needed by an application, adding a level of convenience and efficiency when it is most critical.

With the ability to leverage user-entered settings with Auto Range Curve, the charger evaluates the battery's response to charge current and properly adjusts the curve throughout the charge cycle. The charger also reduces or eliminates over- and under-current conditions that are possible when exact battery capacity is not available. With the addition of the user range and AMETEK Prestolite Power's proprietary Auto Range Curve algorithm, the charger reduces maximum charging temperature and returns to the proper specific gravity.

"AMETEK Prestolite Power has always sought to provide its customers with solutions that help them maximize productivity and eliminate down time in their environments, especially for those applications that can't be closely monitored," comments Jim Lichtenberg, Business Manager for AMETEK Prestolite Power. "The Auto Range Curve feature for the Eclipse II is designed to help customers who need a custom charging solution for environments that require a greater degree of flexibility for a particular application."

When a company has a large number of batteries and chargers that change continually, such as a rental fleet, it becomes challenging to anticipate what size battery gets matched with what charger in all applications, making it difficult to maximize charge time and return to the proper specific gravity. With the Auto Range Curve option, fleet managers will not have to keep "hard setting" the charger for each application as frequently.

Hamilton Caster Appoints Andrew D. Stamp as Director of Sales

Hamilton Caster & Mfg. Co., a 117-year-old industry leader in heavy-duty industrial casters, proudly announces the enhancement of its legacy Super Endurance Caster (SEC) series, now rebranded as the Spinfinity® Super Endurance Caster (ZFSEC) series. In addition, Hamilton is introducing the all-new Spinfinity® Super Endurance Dual Caster (ZFSEC2) series, both of which feature a new heavy-duty 'V-Style' seal designed to elevate performance in the most demanding environments.
The Spinfinity® Super Endurance Caster (ZFSEC) series replaces Hamilton’s legacy SEC series, setting a new benchmark for kingpinless caster design in extra heavy-duty applications. Central to this upgrade is the heavy-duty 'V-Style' seal, which offers protection against dirt, debris, and moisture. This advanced sealing technology ensures consistent performance and extends the life of the caster, making it the ideal choice for environments where reliability is critical.
"With the introduction of the V-Style seal, the ZFSEC series is engineered to withstand the harshest conditions while providing zero-fix, 100% maintenance-free operation," said Mark Lippert, president of Hamilton Caster. "This enhancement allows our customers to minimize maintenance costs and downtime, further solidifying Hamilton’s reputation for durability and dependability."
The ZFSEC series retains the robust construction that Hamilton is known for, including a swivel top plate and inner raceway made from forged steel, providing superior strength for shock conditions. Sealed precision ball bearings are also now standard in all wheels, contributing to the maintenance-free performance of the series. Notably, the zerk fittings have been eliminated, as the new design makes them unnecessary.
Complementing the ZFSEC series, Hamilton introduces the all-new Spinfinity® Super Endurance Dual Wheel Caster (ZFSEC2) series. This dual wheel series is engineered for extra heavy-duty applications where stability, durability, and maintenance-free operation are paramount. Like its counterpart, the ZFSEC2 series leverages the new 'V-Style' seal, ensuring that each caster is fully protected against contaminants that could compromise performance.
Combined with sealed precision ball wheel bearings, this caster series ensures zero-fix, 100% maintenance-free performance. The dual-wheel configuration enhances stability and allows for a lower overall height, offering a perfect blend of strength and maneuverability.
Casters in both series are finished in a durable HAA polyester platinum powder coat and are available in a wide variety of wheel types, allowing for customization based on application needs. For complete wheel specs and product details check out the Spinfinity® Super Endurance Caster Landing Page and all-new Spinfinity® Super Endurance Dual Caster Landing Page.

New Horizon Releases Innovative Functionality for Optimizing Inbound Logistics Scheduling at DCs

ACTON, Massachusetts – September 3, 2024 – New Horizon Soft, LLC (https://www.newhorizon.ai), a global leader in AI-powered supply chain planning software, announced today the release of a new version of its Buyers Workbench procurement planning software. The latest version includes the ability to optimally schedule inbound deliveries, taking into account distribution center (DC) receiving capacity, thus minimizing receiving bottlenecks and lowering inbound logistics costs. A research paper describing the innovative methodology and its deployment at an iconic $10B+ U.S. quick-service restaurant chain was recently published in the peer-reviewed academic journal, the International Journal of Operations Research and Information Systems.

Supply chain organizations typically plan purchase orders without regard to DC receiving capacity. This leads to bottlenecks on some days and underutilized staff on others. New Horizon’s methodology, called Master Purchasing Receipt Scheduling (MPRS), uses a novel algorithm to automatically and optimally schedule deliveries. The algorithm plans deliveries at the time of purchase order creation and results in a steady volume of deliveries and lower planning and logistics costs. While first deployed at a restaurant chain, the methodology is applicable to any manufacturer, wholesaler, retailer, or foodservice company operating high-velocity DCs.
