Minster Logistics has launched its end-to-end voice-enabled warehouse management system, which covers all aspects of the warehousing operation including receipt of goods, put-away, replenishment, picking, marshalling, loading, full stock takes and perpetual inventory stock takes.
Central to the system is the voice management console. This powerful facility allows all warehousing activity to be monitored, controlled and progressed, starting with a high-level view of each activity, with a graphical indication of progress towards completion of the current warehouse workload and drill-down options to monitor the progress of individual tasks and the operators performing them.
The console includes an alerts panel that instantly highlights issues requiring urgent management attention, such as empty picking locations or where a picking shortage has been detected.
The system has been developed in conjunction with a number of Minster’s users, including the Nield Group and 3663, where it has been live for some time and is delivering significant benefits.
Dexterity WMS offers a feature rich warehouse management module used in conjunction with a variety of ERP and accounts packages to enhance stock reliability and reduce picking errors. Many ERP and accounting systems are lacking in flexibility or do not contain the warehousing control functions needed for specific industries.

ABX Logistics has gone live with ATMS’s StockTrack PLUS at its operations in Thrapston and Dublin. ABX reviewed its systems when it extended its UK headquarters in Thrapston and selected Birmingham-based ATMS as its warehouse management system supplier due to the company’s flexibility to meet the specialist needs of its clients and the rich functionality of the STP system.
Stephen Cross, managing director of ATMS, said: “StockTrack PLUS is already widely used in both the apparel and corporate-wear industries and has proven ability to pick by style/colour/style combinations, and to handle pre-packed items. In the case of ABX this means ensuring that products arriving on site can be quickly unloaded, checked and located in a transit warehouse for cross-docking or movement into bulk or picking locations.”
EXDS was formed in 2001 by Steve Grimbley, former UK professional services director for EXE Technologies, the supplier of warehouse management software.

Interroll has developed a cart push back system. Manufactured in Dublin, it can handle up to six pallets deep in a low profile configuration using structural steel for a robust product. Health and safety has rightly become a primary concern and Interroll has included many safety features, including lift-out protection, linked carts, loading guides and pallet strip-off plates.
Push back is a high density solution that should be considered along with other systems such as pallet flow, drive-in or double-deep rack. Using push back in a variable SKU location solution means that utilisation figures of 90 per cent are possible.
Time is a major factor in warehouse design, and push back offers savings of more than 30 per cent over rack solutions such as drive-in, narrow aisle and double-deep. This can mean considerable savings in truck and personnel costs or cost per pick.
Other exhibitors include: Daifuku, Egemin, George Utz, Keymas, and Linpac Allibert.
PACKAGING
Packaging and recycling is becoming an increasingly important cost issue in logistics. bpi.films manufactures quality pallet stretch wrap developed to meet the most demanding storage and transit conditions.

The company’s knowledge of using films to protect and store products has helped countless customers to deliver goods securely. bpi.films has helped many companies to reduce their transit packaging costs and has now launched a free consultancy service to give companies a complete stretch wrap audit. The audit process includes a review of film choice and application processes, helping firms to maximise wrapping efficiency and to reduce wrapping costs.

Tranzorap is a range of reusable protective packaging designed to reduce both the financial and the environmental costs of packaging waste and product damages, particularly for brown and white goods.
Aetna UK will be exhibiting the Rotoplat 506 which for the past 3 years has been the best selling semi-automatic pallet stretch wrapper in the UK. With more than 3000 machines currently in operation in the UK alone, this model has proved popular across a wide scope of industries. It has become a particular favourite within the logistics market as more contracts are being outsourced, which has led to an increase in the number of distribution centres.
The Rotoplat gives 250 per cent stretch on the film and will save a minimum 50 per cent on film costs compared with hand wrapping, while improving the pallet stability and reducing packaging waste. Features include power Pre-Stretch, 4 Programmes and 11 adjustable parameters in conjunction with “parental control”, which means that any type of pallet can be wrapped without the operator having to change the settings.
Other exhibitors include: Cyklop, Flexible Reinforcements, Orion Packaging and Ranpak as well as Easypack, Mil-Tek and Shrinkfast.

FORKLIFTS
Increased storage and reduced costs is the mantra for Aisle-Master articulated forklifts. By replacing a combination of reach and counterbalance forklifts with Aisle-Master, aisle-widths in warehouses can be drastically narrowed down for space savings of up to 50 per cent. The trucks can also work outside for offloading and eliminate the double handling associated with the reach/counterbalance combination for increased productivity. LPG and electric Aisle-Masters are available, with capacities of up to two tonnes. All LPG models are fitted with three-way catalytic converters as standard. The Aisle-Master range has an excellent track record for build quality and superb reliability.
Translift Bendi has been designing and manufacturing forklift trucks since 1965. Its ‘Affordable Narrow Aisle’ machines such as the Retreva and Easistak set the tone for its commitment to cost-effective, very narrow aisle storage. Its services and innovation in the industry were recognised in 2003 when it was presented with the Queens’ Award for Enterprise: Innovation.
Visitors to Logistics Link North will be able to see the Flexi Generation 4 Very Narrow Aisle articulated truck from Narrow Aisle – winner of the British Materials Handling Federation Safety Award 2007. Narrow Aisle’s sales and marketing director, John Maguire, says: “Operator safety is a key consideration within any materials handling operation and with forklift trucks implicated in around one-quarter of all serious workplace transport-related injuries and some ten fatalities a year, it’s easy to understand why.
Avery Weigh-Tronix will be showing how its forklift truck scale ensures safe weight distribution on trailers to avoid overload fines.
The forklift truck scale transforms lift trucks into mobile scales that deliver trade approved weight verification of each pallet as it is picked up – so an organisation can now lift, weigh, move and invoice loads within its existing process.
This can be combined with a bar code scanner to provide a complete pallet weight and data collection system for the freight industry. Developed in conjunction with Erwin Sick this track and trace system allows operators to check the progress and loading of freight without having to leave the safety of their cab.
Reports can show the pallet’s weight, time of unloading and reloading, its origin and destination, its contents and the total number of pallets in that consignment. The system also records who loaded and unloaded the pallet, providing accountability if there is any damage.
Other products on show on the stand include a platform scale and indicator and a pallet truck scale.
The pallet truck scale has a heavy duty construction with an on board weighing system. Its applications include checking the weight accuracy of goods received or dispatched, inventory management and ensuring even vehicle and axle loading.
Traka improves shift start up times by 10 minutes and reduces damage costs by 50 per cent in a year. Traka ensures that only licensed drivers can operate the relevant equipment and that companies monitor and audit their fleet without the stress of paperwork.
The Traka team is always willing to engineer and customise systems. Users can collate accident and damage reports within minutes rather than days and make sure RDT/scanner units are monitored as well.
Crown Lift Trucks is also exhibiting.
