Airspace Launches New Tracking Solution to Provide Ultimate Visibility on Time-Critical Shipments

New solution tracks exact location, temperature, humidity, motion, and light exposure throughout a package’s shipping journey and seamlessly integrates with the Airspace platform

Airspace Launches New Tracking Solution to Provide Ultimate Visibility on Time-Critical Shipments

Airspace, a leader in time-critical shipping, is launching AirTraceTM – the industry’s first fully integrated solution to monitor time-critical shipments in real time through the Airspace platform. About the size of a small mobile phone, the tracking device — paired with AirTrace’s integration within the Airspace platform — is placed within packages shipped via Airspace to monitor the exact location, temperature, humidity, motion, shock, and light exposure of the package within a set time period as determined by each customer’s unique needs. The entire journey of the shipment is tracked and visible to clients in real time on the Airspace platform and shareable reports are available on demand.

With a focus on ease of use, Airspace enables users to simply enter the AirTrace ID into their shipping details in the Airspace platform and drop the tracking device supplied by Airspace in their package. Once AirTrace is enabled, the system monitors the shipment’s exact location, temperature, humidity, shock, motion, and light exposure in real time within the Airspace platform. No special labeling, documentation, or routing entry to third-party platforms is required.


“We created AirTrace to solve a major pain point for our customers – real-time transparency of their urgent packages,” said Nick Bulcao, Airspace Co-Founder and CEO. “When you are shipping organs for transplant, COVID-19 vaccines, and other delicate life-saving goods, it’s critical to track and monitor those shipments every step of the way in order to trust that your time-critical goods will be delivered securely and on time. In our industry, this can often mean the difference between life and death.”

Airspace has already set new standards for the logistics industry. In March, Airspace launched its patented Logistical Management System — an industry-first, automated solution that uses machine learning and artificial intelligence — to create optimal shipping routes within just seconds, as opposed to the industry standard of over an hour. This technology, combined with AirTrace, enables users to route, ship, and monitor time-critical packages faster and more transparently than ever experienced in the logistics industry.

“Our technology aims to fundamentally raise the bar for time-critical shipping. First, we created a platform to find the most optimal path for transporting a package from pickup to destination using machine learning and AI. This significantly increased routing speeds and certainty of delivery,” said Airspace Co-Founder and CTO Ryan Rusnak. “With AirTrace, our customers can monitor their package through its entire journey knowing it’s on the fastest possible route and it’s safe.”

Airspace has shipped over 500,000 packages to date, many of them organs for transplant and other critical healthcare shipments, and estimates those deliveries have positively impacted more than 180,000 lives. The company is on pace to grow by over 100% in 2021 as the number of customers looking for fast and secure time-critical logistics services continues to expand rapidly.

Airspace offers three AirTrace pricing plans to fit every organization's unique shipping needs.

Airspace, founded in 2016, has grown to be a leading global delivery network for time-critical logistics. To learn more, visit www.airspace.com.

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.
