Log-hub 4.2: Advancing Supply Chain Resilience with Automated Scenario Comparison and Freight Manage

Schindellegi, CH, June 6, 2024 - Log-hub, a leading provider of supply chain optimization, design, and analytics solutions, is pleased to announce the release of its latest update, Log-hub 4.2. The Log-hub 4.2 update introduces several new features that enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of supply chain management, enabling businesses to improve productivity and gain strategic insights significantly.

Log-hub has been on the freight management journey for some time to enhance freight management processes for its customers. "The cost pressure in the supply chain field increased a lot in the last year. And the innovations that we are introducing to the freight management will help our customers make the right choices in the selection of their partners and logistic providers," said Alex Sigmund, CTO of Log-hub.

It all started with the Freight Matrix App which allowed for transparent freight costs by comparing different structures and enabling cost evaluation and optimal selection of the logistics partners for the customers. The Freight Matrix App has evolved from a pure Excel-based tool to a cloud-based platform, fostering collaboration, customization, and transparency in freight management. Integration with KNIME Nodes and APIs offers advanced freight cost calculation, simulation, and transport cost evaluation across various shipment levels.


The Freight Matrix Plus App from the Log-hub 4.2 takes this a step further by enabling users to integrate pre-created freight matrices directly into Excel from the Log-hub platform, eliminating manual data entry and saving time for frequent shipment cost assessments. This feature also allows users to select and apply saved freight matrices within their workspace, streamlining the workflow and enabling quick and accurate cost evaluations across various scenarios.

The Map Viewbox feature in Log-hub 4.2 allows users to save and replicate their preferred map position, zoom level, and 3D settings across multiple maps and scenarios, ensuring consistent and efficient supply chain visualization and analysis. This feature facilitates precise comparisons by applying identical view boxes, allowing users to assess changes and impacts accurately across different optimization solutions.

The Scenario Comparison feature, first introduced in October 2023, was born from the feedback and discussions with Log-hub's users. Since its initial release, the feature has been praised by users and has been gradually introduced and enhanced across the entire suite of Supply Chain Apps. The Scenario Comparison feature in Log-hub's ABC, XYZ, and ABC/XYZ apps enables users to save and compare multiple scenarios directly within each app. This feature provided valuable insights, enabling users to come up with inventory strategies and precise prioritization. By streamlining decision-making processes and enhancing overall inventory efficiency, this feature helps businesses reduce costs, minimize stockouts, and maximize profitability.

The Save Scenarios with APIs feature allows users to automatically save and overwrite scenarios directly from KNIME or Python, ensuring seamless integration and streamlined scenario management within their designated workspaces. This simplifies complex scenario analysis by enabling multiple calculated scenarios to be saved in one place, facilitating rapid comparison and optimization directly within the platform. Additionally, automated saving through APIs enhances productivity by eliminating the need for manual intervention during scenario iteration.

"Simplifying complex scenario analysis has been a key priority for our team," said Jan Sigmund, CEO of Log-hub. "The 'Save Scenarios with APIs' feature allows our users to save multiple calculated scenarios in one place, facilitating rapid comparison and optimization directly within the platform. This not only enhances productivity but also streamlines the entire workflow, enabling efficient scenario iteration and comprehensive analysis."

The Log-hub 4.2 update is a testament to the company's unwavering commitment to continuous innovation and its dedication to addressing the evolving needs of its customers. These groundbreaking features, developed in response to customer feedback and industry trends, further solidify Log-hub's position as a trusted provider of supply chain optimization solutions.

Creform stationary lineside flow rack provides for an organized flow of materials

Greer, SC—Creform Corporation, a manufacturer of unique products for material handling structures has designed and built a stationary flow rack to be used lineside for an assembly line. The flow rack can be virtually used in any industry and for most application and is particular useful holding an optimal amount of inventory at the point of assembly which maximizes floor space. It also can prevent excessive inventory which is one of the seven waste considerations in lean manufacturing. This flow rack contains an “L shaped” slide pipe and skate wheel conveyor.

Creform sales engineers worked closely with the customer to design this customized solution to meet their specific needs. The result is an optimized flow rack where parts and materials are strategically organized at the point of use. This setup enables workers to quickly locate the components they need, reducing downtime and saving time. Creform offers multiple flow lane options and can create virtually any hybrid solution.

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.
