Hannibal, the largest pallet rack manufacturer in North America and national warehouse integration specialist, today announced that as a result of its acquisition by Nucor in 2021, the company now has access to every link in the supply chain, ensuring continued resources to its clients and building on its reputation of quality rack and integration services. This week at MODEX, Hannibal’s booth will feature representation of each of the five steps in warehouse execution that Hannibal provides including sourcing, planning, manufacturing, management and recycling as well as Nucor executives, eager to meet with the material handling industry.

“Hannibal’s alignment with Nucor has opened up opportunities to close the gap in areas rack manufacturers and integrators have not had in the past, including the initial sourcing of steel from an uninterrupted source as well as the attention to completing the lifecycle of a warehouse with reprocessing steel that will go back into production again, growing our recycling initiatives,” said Eric Andres, National Sales Manager at Hannibal. “We are really excited to be in person here at MODEX 2022 where we can introduce the material handling industry to our broader offering as well as introduce Nucor to the industry. We look forward to conversations and opportunities this week to take on a new footprint within the supply chain.”

Nucor is North America’s most diversified steel and steel products company, growing from a single joist manufacturer into North America’s largest recycler and the world’s most sustainable steelmaker. Now a part of the Nucor family, Hannibal is proud to be a part of a circular economy, minimizing waste and energy use and reusing all materials so that almost nothing is discarded. This step, which is integral to the vision of becoming “Full Circle” in the industry, is reflected in the video linked , which shows every step in the five-stage process that reflects Hannibal’s evolution.

Australian supermarket chain rolls out AI-powered grocery carts

Grocery shoppers in Australia will soon be able to zip in and out of the store in record time, bypassing the lines for cashiers or self-checkout kiosks altogether. They can just walk in, make their selections, and walk out with their bags in hand.

The secret to this express shopping experience is the “Caper Cart,” an AI (artificial intelligence)-powered smart trolley from San Francisco-based Instacart. In its first deployment in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region, the system is being tested by Coles Supermarkets, a food and beverage retailer with more than 1,800 grocery and liquor stores throughout the country.

How green is your glue?

If you’re looking to make the packaging process more eco-friendly, the obvious place to start is with the box itself. And that’s exactly what Salt Lake City-based Packsize did when it made its initial foray into sustainable packaging back in 2002. That year, the company launched its first product, an innovative on-demand packaging system designed to reduce cardboard waste (and the need for filler material) by creating a right-sized box for each shipment.

Now the company is ready for the next step: greening up the glue.
