The safety imperative for ESG

14.11.2023, Firenze, Italy - Businesses are under increasing pressure to deliver effective and sustainable strategies to meet ESG expectations. To do so, managers must put health and safety at the top of the priority list.

The safety imperative for ESG

With growing emphasis on the implementation of robust corporate Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) strategies, safety technology specialists at Advanced Microwave Engineering (AME) are highlighting the core role of safety.

For more than two decades AME has been providing high-performance, adaptable solutions for industrial applications that actively prevent occupational injuries. Deployed across a range of sectors including tunnelling and construction, logistics, and industrial plants, the use of AME technology is a positive choice to reduce injuries and ensure the best possible ESG outcomes.


Workplace safety is a key area of concern and spans across all areas of an enterprise, as well as institutions, associations, and regulatory authorities. It is also an issue that can end up in the news, potentially negatively influencing public opinion, and prompting significant regulatory action, among other damaging outcomes. Under these circumstances, the role of safety in meeting ESG commitments cannot be overstated.

For those enterprises that are committed to workplace safety as part of their ESG strategy, the choice of the right partner is critical. To achieve their goals, occupational health and safety must be fully integrated into corporate ESG frameworks and partnering with a leading solutions-based organisation like AME can offer the right support to elevate corporate safety and keep the focus on people. Corporates that have already elected that approach include Chiesi farmaceutici, and Technogym, among many others.

Alongside the ethical imperative to prevent injuries and preserve life, the use of AME solutions yields substantial corporate benefits too. For example, there is the potential for legal jeopardy by not implementing enforceable rules and laws designed to protect employees. Workplace injuries also result in economic impacts by causing workplace stoppages and problems with internal and external stakeholders, as well as issues with employee retention and recruitment. Reputational damage can be catastrophic for brands should they be perceived as indifferent to employee health and welfare. Investors too are increasingly recognizing the importance of safety in their decision-making processes. It is growing increasingly clear that those corporates with robust policies in place are regarded as generally more responsible and thus more attractive to investors given the business approach to risk management.

Claudio Salvador, President, and CEO at AME, explains: “Responsibility to employee safety is a long-term commitment and the choice to deploy the right solution makes all the difference. People’s safety must come first because it’s sustainable, it’s responsible and it’s possible. Our ambition is to help enterprises large and small achieve the next level of safety culture and reach their ESG goals in the most streamlined and efficient way, in particular, those aspects that involve the health and safety environment”.

Ultimately, nothing is more important than people’s lives and by investing in research and smart technology, AME provides highly innovative solutions that make a real impact. As Salvador concludes: “We believe in the power of strong acts and by partnering with other visionary, bold and smart brands to gain the maximum benefit from our integrated safety and security solutions, we can support enterprises to become a safe and sustainable place to work for everyone”.

SAFETY WORKS: Good for people, good for business.

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.
