ATLANTA, Ga. (Nov 12, 2019) - LiveSource, a leading multi-enterprise supply chain business network for complex manufacturers, has released the first of three phases of its new product, LiveSource Analytics. This initial phase focuses on queries and alerts to enable manufacturers greater visibility into their supplier's health, performance and ability to deliver.

Given the ever-increasing focus on quality, compliance, efficiencies and costs, manufacturers require enhanced visibility and collaboration within their complex supply chains. With constant changes in regulations and last-minute engineering updates buried in emails, spreadsheets and disconnected systems, it's difficult to know where the next surprise is coming from. LiveSource gives manufacturers greater visibility across their entire supplier network so they can plan effectively and quickly respond to change, avoiding supply chain disruption.

LiveSource Analytics utilizes data lake technology, standardizing all data from both LiveSource and third-party systems into a non-relational database. This creates a powerful decision-making tool, with extremely fast data query. Users apply these queries against a library of widgets to present the data visually, grouping appropriate widgets together to create dashboards of key indicators. Additionally, LiveSource Analytics drills down to the soured document of the analysis, a feature not available with comparable business intelligence tools.

"Leveraging the data lake, LiveSource Analytics collects all of the data from various disconnected systems and standardizes that data to drive more accurate analytics," said Bo Hagler, CEO of LiveSource. "Ultimately, we are delivering more credible analysis to drive better supplier management decisions."

Moving forward, LiveSource Analytics will also be key to leveraging the enormous amounts of data captured by IOT devices in manufacturing, such as monitoring tool usage and performance.

Current LiveSource customers will be upgraded to the first phase of LiveSource Analytics at no additional cost.

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.
