ORLANDO, Fla., Sept. 09, 2021 -- Tompkins Robotics president and CEO, Mike Futch, will speak at PARCEL Forum 2021 on Sept. 15 at 9 a.m. ET.

With the shipping and logistics landscape permanently affected, new robotic solutions will create opportunities for greater performance and efficiency for last-mile parcel sortation.

“The advantages of implementing high speed sortation for last-mile processing are substantial in this digital age,” said Futch. “Automation is the answer to solving the limiting constraints of traditional solutions. Our experts at Tompkins Robotics provide high speed solutions that meet growing demands, while minimizing labor and space requirements needed for optimal executions.”

PARCEL Forum 2021, an essential learning event for e-commerce-centric and business-to-business shippers, will be held Sept. 14th -16th at the Gaylord National Resort in Washington, DC. While most of the world came to a screeching halt due to COVID-19, the logistics and shipping sectors did anything but slow down. The small-package industry has been thrust to the forefront of supply chain, becoming essential in connecting the entire globe.

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.
