MADISON, WI (JUNE 30, 2020) – RateLinx, a leading supply chain, freight audit, and logistics visibility platform just announced a new, complimentary freight audit analysis available for shippers looking to improve transportation efficiencies and effectively implement cost-savings initiatives.

“As we come out of the COVID-19 crisis, supply chains are facing substantial shifts in operations and looking for efficiencies and cost-savings opportunities,” says Shannon Vaillancourt, President, and Founder of RateLinx. “This freight audit analysis can be completed in less than 30 days and provides an analysis of shippers’ freight audit and transportation processes and insights into improvement opportunities they can implement quickly to help them thrive in this ever-changing environment.”

Poor financial insights impact transportation decisions and initiatives in today’s supply chains. Freight information often lacks the proper context to make good decisions. Rate tolerances, errors, omissions, and exceptions have become widely accepted as the standard in the industry, but are hindering cost-savings and improvement initiatives. Today’s supply chains cannot afford to be restricted by poor practices.

“The supply chains that will thrive in the post-COVID environment will be those that can make sound, data-informed decisions and have solid relationships with their carriers,” Vaillancourt adds. “We are here to help provide supply chains with the insights and actionable data they need to succeed.”

The free freight audit analysis begins with collecting data and onboarding carriers to categorize exceptions and identify root causes. By collaborating with the RateLinx team, shippers will be able to see their analysis results in less than 30 days and be ready to take the next step to improve their operations.

Creform stationary lineside flow rack provides for an organized flow of materials

Greer, SC—Creform Corporation, a manufacturer of unique products for material handling structures has designed and built a stationary flow rack to be used lineside for an assembly line. The flow rack can be virtually used in any industry and for most application and is particular useful holding an optimal amount of inventory at the point of assembly which maximizes floor space. It also can prevent excessive inventory which is one of the seven waste considerations in lean manufacturing. This flow rack contains an “L shaped” slide pipe and skate wheel conveyor.

Creform sales engineers worked closely with the customer to design this customized solution to meet their specific needs. The result is an optimized flow rack where parts and materials are strategically organized at the point of use. This setup enables workers to quickly locate the components they need, reducing downtime and saving time. Creform offers multiple flow lane options and can create virtually any hybrid solution.

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.
