LINKÖPING, SWEDEN—May 17, 2021— To provide value for professionals and companies that design spaces and sell configurable products in the material handling, commercial interiors and kitchen and bath industries, Configura announced today it now offers its signature software product, CET Designer, as three CET industry products: CET Material Handling, CET Commercial Interiors and CET Kitchen & Bath.

“Our CET industry products deliver customized solutions for professionals in the commercial interiors, material handling and kitchen and bath industries based on research and Configura’s expertise serving these industries for over three decades,” Configura CEO Stefan Persson said. “User experience is at the heart of what we do at Configura and our CET industry products open up the possibilities to drive industry standards while making the sales and design process even more efficient for our global user community.”

Since 1990, Configura’s space-planning software products have transformed the way people design spaces around the globe by making the design and sales process fast, efficient and accurate. Configura’s transition to offering CET as three industry products allows the software company to offer an industry-focused user experience, making it easier for the end user to design, specify and visualize configurable products for spaces within their industry.

Introducing three CET industry products tailored for the user

Whether specifying office furniture, engineering pallet racking for a warehouse or designing a dream kitchen, professionals who create these spaces all have unique needs when working within CET. Offering CET as three industry products improves the user experience by offering tools, features and functionality designed for the user’s workflow and the products they sell within their industry. This change allows Configura to focus its development efforts based on industry needs and standards to provide the best possible user experience.

CET Material Handling
Selling material handling solutions is a complex process. CET Material Handling simplifies and accelerates the sales process by bringing engineers, project managers and salespeople together into one software to design, build, implement and sustain material handling solutions. The software automates common tasks, enhances collaboration across departments and reduces drawing time from months to days, and in some cases, hours.

CET Commercial Interiors
From the office to classrooms to health care environments, CET Commercial Interiors is an all-in-one tool that makes it easy and fast to produce high-quality 2D and 3D renderings, error-free quotes and impressive presentations. The software is used by designers, salespeople and dealerships to design, specify and visualize products for commercial spaces.

CET Kitchen & Bath
CET Kitchen & Bath brings kitchen specialists, salespeople and businesses into one software to design, specify and visualize products for kitchens and bathrooms using real product data and pricing. The software makes it easy to go to market quickly with new products and decreases the time needed to train new kitchen specialists on products.

“We chose CET because it handles everything from configuration to order – down to every nut, bolt and washer, drawings and bill of materials – everything is there,” NEDCON’s Category Manager David Smidek said. “We are one of the lucky ones that stumbled upon Configura – its software is one of the stones of the modern development of material handling.”

Configura’s software, including CET, is used by thousands of people worldwide including designers, salespeople, engineers, kitchen specialists, dealerships and manufacturers. Configura has revolutionized the way office furniture is sold in North America and is now gaining momentum in Europe’s commercial interiors industry as well as the kitchen and bath and material handling industries. More than 100 manufacturers around the world – including Steelcase, Herman Miller, Haworth, Sunon, Kvik, NEDCON and Dematic – use CET to sell their products.

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.
