Putting Your Best Fleet Forward: GNB Launches New Cloud Solutions for Fleet Management

IoT-Based Solution Helps Dealers and End Users Easily Manage All Motive Power Assets Across Sites

Putting Your Best Fleet Forward: GNB Launches New Cloud Solutions for Fleet Management

Alpharetta, Ga., April 8, 2021 – GNB Industrial Power – Americas, a division of Stryten Manufacturing, is making it easier to manage motive power assets – including batteries, chargers and gateways – in the cloud. Companies can now easily “see” and manage all of their motive power assets online, whether they have 10 or 10,000 assets across one or 1,000 sites. The new managed services are part of GNB® Cloud, a suite of IoT-enabled decision-support software for companies looking to design and deploy the latest battery and charger technologies and maximize their performance.

“As electric fleets increasingly become the choice for internal logistics, companies need ways to quickly evaluate the newest battery and charger solutions and ensure that their fleets are future-ready,” said Matt Gould, Vice President, Marketing, Sales & Service, GNB Industrial Power – Americas. “GNB Cloud is designed to make these decisions easy by giving companies the ability to test options before deployment and providing actionable data for fleet managers to run smarter operations.”


The latest version of GNB Cloud is especially exciting for dealers looking for better tools to deploy connected IoT systems and provide their customers with online asset management. Dealers can now easily manage their customers’ batteries and chargers to offer them enhanced services such as Power by the Hour, where customers are charged monthly based on their level of usage.

Virtual attendees of ProMatDX (April 12 – April 16, 2021) can learn more about the features and functionality of GNB Cloud and ask questions during live Q&A sessions. GNB Cloud includes four software modules that all share data and work together:

Measure: Power study automation that allows users to baseline vehicle energy requirements and produce reports such as vehicle energy usage, battery utilization and system health. Cellular power loggers automatically generate intuitive reports right on your web browser. Send this data to Model to design solutions or use it to improve fleet operations
Model: System design modeling to customize and compare battery and charger systems. Lead or lithium batteries? Conventional, opportunity or fast charging? Find the best fit for cost and performance in your fleet.
Manage (NEW): Asset lifecycle management for batteries, chargers, gateways and power loggers. Know where your assets are, how they are configured and when they last reported up to the cloud; data critical for scaling energy service businesses.
Monitor: Enterprise system monitoring to ensure fleet uptime with actionable data that helps users optimize long-term performance of their motive power fleets.
In addition to seeing how GNB Cloud is revolutionizing motive power asset management, ProMatDX attendees can also experience the following from GNB Industrial Power:

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.
