Nucleus Research Publishes “The Value of BluJay’s TMS for Forwarders” Report

BluJay Solutions, a leading provider of global supply chain software and services, today announced that Nucleus Research has released analysis that reveals “The Value of BluJay’s TMS for Forwarders.” BluJay’s Transportation Management for Forwarders (TMFF) application is a single solution for complete supply chain execution—air, ocean, and inland freight—purpose-built for global forwarders, multi-station operations, and single-station freight forwarders.

“BluJay TMFF is helping logistics providers around the world navigate greater demand fluctuations, along with backorders, stock shortages, compliance hurdles, and regulatory uncertainty,” wrote Isaac Gould, research analyst, Nucleus Research. “Nucleus has found that customers adopted the solution to quickly digitize and automate their shipping processes. Users have also reported cost-savings and reduced delivery delays by as much as ten percent.”

The research cycle included references from BluJay freight forwarding customers including Rangel Logistics Solutions. From Isaac Gould:

“BluJay TMFF has proven use cases that demonstrate its reliability for enterprise-scale businesses. Supply chain managers need automation to focus on higher value-add tasks, analytics to identify cost savings and operational improvement opportunities, and end-to-end visibility to pro-actively avoid disruptions and address exception events,” continued Gould. “Where traditional TMS vendors provide isolated supply chain networks that only connect its customers with their supply chain partners, BluJay improves the value proposition of all its solutions through its global ecosystem of users and connected partners.”

Supporting business operations in more than 100 countries, BluJay’s TMFF handles multiple languages, currencies, and time zones, and provides visibility throughout the shipment lifecycle. The application automates key processes, reducing the time and cost to handle each shipment, resulting in better customer service and the ability to differentiate in a competitive market.

“We appreciate the time and attention of this comprehensive analysis by Isaac and the Nucleus team, as well as the insight from our great forwarding customers,” said Ritu Rooney, Senior Global Product Manager at BluJay Solutions. “We listen to our customers and understand that process automation, visibility, and providing an excellent customer experience are keys to any freight forwarder’s success.”

Recently, BluJay released Transportation Management for Forwarders 21.0, a web-based global, multimodal freight forwarding software application, featuring Customer Portal, a collaborative visibility and booking portal that allows freight forwarders’ customers to easily access their key shipment data and make bookings online.

KUKA to Showcase Cobots for Medical Applications at AAOS Meeting

SHELBY TOWNSHIP, Mich., Jan. 28, 2025 – Targeting the reduction of work-related injury for healthcare workers and shortening time-to-market for medical device OEMs, KUKA Robotics will bring two advanced medical innovations featuring cobot automation to the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons (AAOS) annual meeting in booth #540. The event takes place in San Diego, California, March 10-14, and attendees will see how KUKA’s LBR iisy cobot solution helps reduce the incidence of arm and shoulder injury to ultrasound technicians and sonographers. A second cobot demonstration will feature a KUKA Robot Development Kit using a LBR MED 14 R820 cobot that helps slash development time for unique medical device solutions.

Because of the repetitive nature of their work, sonographers and ultrasound technicians commonly experience musculoskeletal disorders such as tendonitis and rotator cuff injury from their work that requires them to apply pressure with abnormal arm and shoulder positioning. Using robot technology such as KUKA’s LBR iisy cobot, however, can take the strain off these technicians by precisely conducting these repetitive exams autonomously. Equipped with a Haply Inverse3 Hapatic Feedback Teleop Device and an OptoForce FT Sensor, the LBR iisy robotic arm can be controlled and manipulated to apply the proper amount of force to the imaging head for a proper reading.
