Systems integrator S&H Systems came into the Modex tradeshow this week fresh on the heels of announcing a new executive vice president of sales and marketing, David Bach. Bach is no newcomer to automated material handling, having already amassed 30 years in sales.

Bach plans to hit the ground running, hoping to expand S&H Systems’ market share by forging mutually beneficial partnerships and fostering a diverse client base.

According to the company, Bach has a proven track record of driving revenue growth and developing sales teams. In the past, he has managed an international sales team that served Fortune 500 clients across multiple retail and commercial industries: e-commerce, home improvement, pharmaceuticals, consumer goods packaging, and traditional retail.

In addition to meeting Bach at S&H Systems’ booth (B4312), Modex registrants can also attend a presentation on “When you need the right solution and the best value, a systems integrator delivers.” According to S&H Systems, the automation landscape for today’s warehouse, is expanding and includes many new and exciting options as well as a multitude of custom configurations. This presentation will emphasize the benefits of working with a solutions partner that knows how this new technology works together and how to add options for growth.

How clever is that chatbot?

Oh, you work in logistics, too? Then you’ve probably met my friends Truedi, Lumi, and Roger.

No, you haven’t swapped business cards with those guys or eaten appetizers together at a trade-show social hour. But the chances are good that you’ve had conversations with them. That’s because they’re the online chatbots “employed” by three companies operating in the supply chain arena—TrueCommerce, Blue Yonder, and Truckstop. And there’s more where they came from. A number of other logistics-focused companies—like ChargePoint, Packsize, FedEx, and Inspectorio—have also jumped in the game.

Experts: U.S. companies need strategies to pay costs of Trump tariffs

With the hourglass dwindling before steep tariffs threatened by the new Trump Administration will impose new taxes on U.S. companies importing goods from abroad, organizations need to deploy strategies to handle those spiraling costs.

American companies with far-flung supply chains have been hanging for weeks in a “wait-and-see” situation to learn if they will have to pay increased fees to U.S. Customs and Border Enforcement agents for every container they import from certain nations. After paying those levies, companies face the stark choice of either cutting their own profit margins or passing the increased cost on to U.S. consumers in the form of higher prices.

J.B. Hunt launches solar farm to power its three HQ buildings

Supply chain solution provider J.B. Hunt Transport Services Inc. has launched a large-scale solar facility that will generate enough electricity to offset up to 80% of the power used by its three main corporate campus buildings in Lowell, Arkansas.

The 40-acre solar facility in Gentry, Arkansas, includes nearly 18,000 solar panels and 10,000-plus bi-facial solar modules to capture sunlight, which is then converted to electricity and transmitted to a nearby electric grid for Carroll County Electric. The facility will produce approximately 9.3M kWh annually and utilize net metering, which helps transfer surplus power onto the power grid.

Geodis goes airborne to speed cycle counts

As a contract provider of warehousing, logistics, and supply chain solutions, Geodis often has to provide customized services for clients.

That was the case recently when one of its customers asked Geodis to up its inventory monitoring game—specifically, to begin conducting quarterly cycle counts of the goods it stored at a Geodis site. Trouble was, performing more frequent counts would be something of a burden for the facility, which still conducted inventory counts manually—a process that was tedious and, depending on what else the team needed to accomplish, sometimes required overtime.
