Pallet market under pressure
Circulating in the millions, Euro pallets are an integral part of everyday life in industry, trade, and logistics. However, A and B grade pallets are becoming increasingly scarce, warns the logistics provider Dachser. This has repercussions for costs, planning reliability, and delivery capacity along the entire supply chain.
Air traffic control in the dark
Even after a malfunction was resolved on Wednesday, the screens at Swiss air traffic control remained fixed the technical problem at the
The true cost of fulfilling the order
Materials handling specialist Ferag focuses on a holistic approach to warehousing and the targeted use of technologies to automate defined fulfillment processes in order to improve order processing efficiency. The concept developed by Ferag Solutions is based on a new key performance indicator, " CoOF " (Cost of Order Fulfillment).
Federal Councillor Beat Jans in Rupperswil
The Swiss Logistics by ASFL SVBL training center in Rupperswil recently hosted visits from Federal Councillor Beat Jans, head of the Federal Department of Justice and Police, Jérôme Cosandey, head of the Directorate of Labour at SECO, and Aargau government councillor Dieter Egli.
Even better than lithium-ion
At the world's largest industrial trade fair in Hanover, with 3,000 exhibitors, a young company called BTRY from Dübendorf won a startup award sponsored by the logistics provider Hermes. The founders impressed the judges with an ultra-thin, fully flexible energy storage system that is intended to enable numerous new applications.
Large containers for the «Jaguar»
At Claas in Bad Saulgau, machines for forage harvesting and headers for the forage harvester, which proudly bears the name " Jaguar ," are developed, tested, and manufactured. More staging area was needed at the assembly lines. Bito assisted with the switch to the large SL 86 hoppers.
System change at the drying tower
