NEW YORK (PRWEB) DECEMBER 07, 2021
The Manifest team is humbled and excited to have organized a robust technology and innovation based program for the Global Supply Chain & Logistics industry. With approximately 100 sessions over the course of 3 days, the program features more than 250 executive leaders discussing technology innovation and how tech is enabling faster solutions across all aspects of the supply chain.

Speakers from across the globe will take the stage to tackle the ripple effects that supply chain bottlenecks are causing head-on. Every touch point of the chain is having issues: mills and factories have major staffing issues with wait times for electronic chips now over 22 weeks, ports are congested - with over 100 ships sitting outside the port of Los Angeles and there aren’t enough shipping containers to move products across the Pacific or Atlantic oceans. The United States is already seeing shortages of artificial Christmas trees, grocery stores putting limits on items that they can’t keep in stock, and soaring prices of consumer goods country-wide.

Key topics that will be addressed include:

Supply Chain Digitization
The Application of AI and Blockchain
Automation & Robotics
Alternative Fuels
Real Time Supply Chain Visibility
Transparency Throughout the Supply Chain
Data Management & Forecasting
Routing & Optimization
Flexibility Across Modalities and Partners
Security & Compliance

The program tackles these topics via a bevy of panel discussions, which offer multiple perspectives and insights for in depth topics.

More than 1,500 Logistics Technology and Supply Chain Executives will participate in Manifest Vegas 2022, from January 25 - 27 at the Paris!

Hyster-Yale partners with Dept. of Defense’s SkillBridge program

After years in the military, service members and their spouses can find the transition to civilian life difficult. For many, a valuable support on that journey is the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) SkillBridge program. During their final 180 days of service, participants in the program are connected with companies that provide them with civilian work experience and training. There is no cost to those companies while the service member continues receiving military compensation and benefits.

Among the SkillBridge program’s supporters is Hyster-Yale Materials Handling, which provides lift trucks and technology solutions, primarily under the Hyster and Yale brand names. Hyster-Yale and its independently owned dealers partner with SkillBridge to recruit and train current service members, specifically for positions as skilled technicians.

Greg Swift of Schneider National

Truck driver achieves 5 million miles without an accident

Raise your hand if you think you’re a pretty good driver. Now put your hand back down, because we’re about to introduce you to someone who has set the bar much higher than you can ever dream of reaching.

Meet Greg Swift, a longtime driver for Schneider National Inc. who has driven 5 million miles without a preventable accident. The Green Bay, Wisconsin-based carrier boasts a notable safety record: More than 6,500 of its drivers have traveled at least 1 million safe driving miles with the company. Swift, however, stands out from that crowd, joining only two other drivers in Schneider’s nearly 90-year history in reaching the 5 million-mile mark.

Battery Council International launches student scholarship program

Look around any distribution center and you’ll see dozens of devices powered by batteries. They range from large-scale cells in electric forklifts, to mid-size units in autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), to slim, palm-size batteries in barcode scanners and smartphones. Despite the ubiquity of these applications, there is more work to be done. That’s why a battery-industry group has launched an initiative it hopes will encourage the next generation of engineers to continue developing smaller, safer, more powerful industrial batteries.

Battery Council International (BCI) has established a charitable foundation to help support future leaders in the energy-storage industry. The foundation will initially focus on scholarship awards for the 2025–2026 school year. Those scholarships include the BCI Battery Chemistry and STEM Scholarship, which will distribute $5,000 to individuals studying electrochemistry, engineering, mathematics, or a related technical discipline that will support energy-storage applications.

Hydrogen FCEV (fuel-cell-powered electric refuse vehicle)

Hydrogen fuel cells could soon power refuse-collection trucks

Logistics service providers looking to cut emissions from their transportation operations have largely focused on the switch from internal combustion engines to battery electric vehicles (BEVs). But some proponents say that hydrogen fuel cells are a better way to generate the electricity required to reach that goal. A new demonstration project now underway is designed to prove their point.

Hyzon, an Illinois-based provider of hydrogen fuel-cell systems, has teamed up with New Way Trucks, a manufacturer of refuse-truck bodies in Iowa, to create what they call North America’s first hydrogen fuel-cell-powered electric refuse vehicle (FCEV), otherwise known as an electric garbage truck.

Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift’s songs influence demand patterns

Global supply chains have long had to weather disruptions triggered by sudden spikes in demand. Holiday gift shopping, big price discounts, and stocking up before major storms are just a few reasons for jumps in consumption. Now there’s another variable to consider: Taylor Swift.

Devoted fans of the pop megastar often wear outfits reflecting Swift’s own costumes or references to her songs when they attend concerts. Her influence is so notable that, according to London-based Dalston Mill Fabrics, the singer’s lyrics appear to drive spikes in demand for certain styles and fabrics.
