Venray, 19 October 2018 - Last Thursday and Friday, 11 and 12 October, Inther celebrated the official opening of the new research and development center and also celebrated their 20 year anniversary. "We are moving to 'the next level' with state-of-the-art conveying equipment, where the delivery and implementation times are drastically shortened," says Paul Hermsen.

On Thursday, the official opening of the new Technology Assembly Center (TAC) took place: the in-house research and development center (R&D), where Inther now develops and produces its own conveyor system 'ICE' (Inther Conveyor Equipment). When designing these high-quality conveyor systems, Inther pays a great deal of attention to integration of the control system, sensor technology and cabling. Everything is designed from the software and installation side. ICE is based on control technology, making each module system a self-contained device that can function independently.

In addition to the development of the ICE conveyor systems, TAC employees are also actively developing Robot picking technology and automatic Document Handling solutions in the packaging process. Every day, new high-tech solutions for automating and further mechanization of the order picking and packaging process are being developed.

Alderman Jan Loonen (Economic Affairs) was present at the start of the construction of the Technology Assembly Center, and he officially opened this building more than a year and a half later. "The technology and knowledge used here in this company, the high-quality knowledge that is bundled here and the new innovations that go around the world from Venray and North Limburg, is something we are extremely proud of," says Alderman Jan Loonen.

After the successful opening ceremony and a fascinating session by Walther Ploos van Amstel on Thursday, family, friends and acquaintances of all Inther employees got the chance to view the company from the inside on Friday. Interesting demos from, among other things, a Goods-to-Person workstation, an Automated Document Applicator (ADA) and a robot for item picking were given and created a lot of interest among the audience.

Paul Hermsen and Martijn Herder, the founders and management of Inther, fill in the need for further warehouse automation and mechanization with these milestones, given the ever-increasing shortage on the labor market for warehouse staff.

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.
