Workplace injuries are all-too common in the warehouses and battery maintenance for material handling equipment is a typical culprit. The ongoing maintenance required to keep flooded lead acid batteries running presents a danger to the workers tasked with charging, watering and changing batteries. Batteries power equipment on construction sites, in tractors, trucks and automobiles, and most of them contain hazardous substances like lead and sulfuric acid. Unless workers who maintain, recharge, and operate batteries know the risks and how to mitigate them, they can suffer severe workplace injuries. New Lithium-ion batteries eliminate most of these issues because they are self-contained and maintenance free. Iron phosphate, a subset of Li-ion is the safest chemistry available, and its long cycle life means that it will last the lifetime of the truck. Download this white paper today to learn how to reduce workplace injuries with Li-ion batteries for material handling.

Beckhoff Automation: Get back to basics with this functional safety white paper

Get back to basics with this functional safety white paper

Since 2004 Beckhoff has provided a comprehensive range of TwinSAFE functional safety technologies to meet the requirements of the most complex machines and equipment. Sometimes, however, safety is applied to machines without regard to formal risk assessment and to the tune of "Make it as safe as possible." While admirable, this can result in safety functions that may be over- or under-designed for a particular risk. It could also impact your company's bottom line and the time it takes to ship equipment to your customers.

While having "too much" safety is certainly not a bad thing, it could introduce unnecessary complexity and other adverse effects. Therefore, machine safety measures should be revisited periodically to conform with updated standards or in response to market conditions.

Dematic: Cosmetic giant L'Oréal optimizes production with Dematic AGVs

Cosmetic giant L'Oréal optimizes production with Dematic AGVs

As a global leader in the cosmetics industry, L'Oréal is held to stringent standards across their supply chain. In many of their warehouses they depend on Dematic Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) to maintain general standardization.

A fleet of AGVs is now used to perform tasks that were previously done by production staff. They work both smoother and more safely across three daily shifts and have optimized the teams' workflows. They transport packaging from shelves to filling lines, finished products to shipping stations, and follow assignments given by staff to perform tasks that include transferring empty pallets, picking up cardboard, and arranging the removal of packaging materials. The AGVs follow clearly marked routes and stop automatically for any obstacles, allowing for efficient transport flow, a neater warehouse, and safer working conditions.
