Schindellegi, April 2, 2024 — Log-hub, a leading innovator in supply chain optimization, proudly announces the release of Log-hub 4.1, marking a significant advancement in its mission to empower businesses with transformative tools for operational excellence. This latest release introduces a comprehensive array of new features, including expanded capabilities of freight management, warehouse segmentation in the Network Design Plus App, advanced supply chain visibility, and boosted scenario comparison dashboards. These enhancements are carefully crafted to elevate capabilities across diverse sectors and address the evolving needs of the industry.

One of the key highlights of Log-hub 4.1 are the expanded integration capabilities of the Freight Matrix App, exemplifying Log-hub's dedication to innovation and adaptability. Originally introduced as an Excel-based Supply Chain App, freight management can now be experienced directly within the cloud-based Log-hub Platform, enabling seamless collaboration, customization, and transparency. Furthermore, with the availability of API and Knime nodes, advanced functionalities for improved freight cost calculation, simulation, transportation cost evaluation, and tender management are at users' disposal. Integration with Knime allows businesses to embark on more sophisticated projects, seamlessly incorporating freight management processes into their workflows. This integration facilitates data-driven decisions with heightened accuracy and efficiency.

The introduction of warehouse segmentation in the Network Design Plus App allows users to narrow down warehouse options for customers based on defined segments, optimizing warehouse-customer relations. This empowers businesses to define specific criteria for servicing customers from particular warehouses and enables multiple warehouse assignments to customers. By segmenting customers based on their warehousing requirements, businesses can precisely determine which warehouses meet their needs, streamlining supply chain operations and enhancing customer satisfaction. This level of flexibility optimizes product allocation, number, and location of facilities, ultimately enhancing operational efficiency.

In Log-hub 4.1, supply chain visualization capabilities are further enhanced within the Flow Visualization App. Users can visualize their Multilevel Network Design with enhanced Sankey Diagrams, allowing for schematic modeling and interactive exploration. This provides users with a comprehensive understanding of their network structure. Furthermore, users can visualize not only their As-Is network but also the To-Be situation, ensuring readiness for future changes and developments. This comprehensive visualization approach combined with Log-hub 3D maps allows users to easily transform raw Excel data into visually stunning supply chain maps ultimately empowering them to make informed decisions and optimize their supply chain operations effectively.

Although the scenario comparison feature was introduced in October 2023, Log-hub is constantly expanding its capabilities and availability to even more apps in its portfolio of 30+ Supply Chain Apps. With Log-hub 4.1 update release, users can experience improved scenario comparison dashboards for Milkrun, Milkrun Plus, Transport, and Transport Plus Optimization Apps. This feature allows clients to compare different supply chain scenarios and their respective data side by side, enabling them to make informed decisions that best suit their specific needs, optimize their operations, and drive sustainable growth.

"Log-hub 4.1 represents a significant milestone in our journey to redefine supply chain optimization," said Jan Sigmund, CEO at Log-hub. "With enhanced features in our Network Design Plus App, expanded integration capabilities for freight management, advanced visualization tools, and scenario comparison dashboards, we remain committed to empowering our clients with the tools they need to thrive in today's dynamic business landscape."

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.
