IAM Robotics Launches a Flexible Warehouse AS/RS with Bin Handling

IAM Robotics Launches a Flexible Warehouse AS/RS with Bin Handling

The Solution, the Swift Picking Module, Becomes the Most Flexible and Affordable Automated Storage and Retrieval (AS/RS) To Date

Atlanta, GA - April 8, 2018. IAM Robotics, a leading innovator of autonomous fulfillment solutions, announces the availability of the Swift Picking Module, an e-Commerce goods-to-person or goods-to-robot solution that helps logistics companies address labor issues, increase capacity, and maintain operational flexibility during a time of industry disruption and intensifying competition. IAM will showcase the Picking Module and demonstrate the ability to autonomously store and retrieve bins and totes at MODEX 2018, the leading trade show for supply chain, manufacturing, and distribution industries.


With the rising demands of e-Commerce and a tightening labor market, logistics operators need cost- effective, flexible material handling solutions for order fulfillment.

Today's solutions are limited in that they are either very expensive or only partially alleviate increasing labor shortages. Today's fulfillment operations require automated solutions that are low cost, modular in design, flexible, and a complete solution to labor challenges.

The Swift Pick Module is a flexible AS/RS setup in a traditional warehouse environment where robots work around the clock at human speeds and accuracy picking individual items, handling bins of materials, and performing replenishment duties. Robots bring goods to stations for final packing, shipping, and other fulfillment processes.

Tom Galluzzo, Founder of IAM Robotics notes, "the solution was designed to be modular so customers can deploy it incrementally over time, and scale as needed. This helps them overcome fear related to the 'point of no return' normally associated with comprehensive automated solutions. Further, it gives them more flexibility at a time when planners cannot see one year into the future, let alone five."

IAM joins other companies offering robotic solutions for bins and totes; however, IAM offers unparalleled performance in terms of speed, range of handling (pick and place), and overall reliability.

The Swift Pick Module can be setup at a cost and flexibility that makes it feasible for organizations of all sizes and types - from small, medium and large-sized fulfillment warehouses, to micro-fulfillment centers, to new fulfillment concepts such "dark" stores. Companies can start small, then scale rapidly as e-Commerce demand grows or market conditions dictate.

The Swift Picking Module and IAM's leading tote and bin handling system is viewable on YouTube (https://bit.ly/IAMSwiftPickModule) and on display at MODEX 2018 April 9-12. Stop by Booth #B4176 to learn more, or contact IAM Robotics at info@iamrobotics.com to receive a free assessment.

About IAM Robotics: IAM Robotics provides fully operational intelligent, autonomous material handling solutions built for e-Commerce order fulfillment and material handling in logistics and manufacturing. IAM Robotics' solutions provide a full solution to existing labor challenges and allow organizations to get ahead of competition in the race to automate logistics, without sacrificing financial returns.

Hamilton Caster Appoints Andrew D. Stamp as Director of Sales

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.
