Last month, I was in Atlanta at the Modex trade show. In one sense, it is a tribute to the automation technologies managing today’s distribution networks. And, I’m not only talking about automated materials handling systems, but also the software and NextGen technologies such as robotics, wearable technologies, including smart glasses and augmented reality solutions and sensors enabling the Internet of Things.

Kardex Remstar launched remote support service
Kardex Remstar launched a Cloudbased Remote Support platform that continuously monitors the status of installed systems and remotely maintains them as needed.
“There are two key features included in the new support platform,” said Mark Dunaway, EVP of new business “Remote Assistance manages diagnostics and allows simple maintenance requests to be performed remotely instead of on site to cut downtime; and Remote Analytics, which gives users access to machine data anywhere with the Internet.”
Additionally, the new LR 35 vertical buffer module (VBM) and the Shuttle XP vertical lift module (VLM) are displayed. “The LR 35 is ideal for single-part or small-volume orders,” continued Dunaway, who noted the unit includes a shelf system with automatic bin handling, picking stations and logistics software. “It delivers totes of small items to operators with minimal wait time, speeding up order picking and reducing the amount of floor space required to store items.”
Also new, Access Ready light technology can now be added to the Shuttle XP VLM, alerting operators to the tray’s arrival in the access opening.
