or a growing number of wholesalers – whether they are focused on the B2B or B2C market – they are
experiencing bottlenecks in their traditional fulfillment operations. There simply isn’t enough time for an order picker to take a trolley up and down past endless rows of racking so that the products can be picked, packed and dispatched quickly enough. What these warehouses need is an efficient, dynamic and flexible system for fast order fulfillment. Kardex introduces their FramePick4Wholesale - an
efficient goods-to-person solution that enables wholesale companies to reduce the distances walked in their warehouses by as much as 65%. The combination of smart and intuitive technologies virtually eliminates picking errors, plus intelligent order batching enables a fourfold increase in the productivity of order pickers – and all without having to install a complex system of rigid conveyors or investing in other costly material handling equipment.

emag Cranes & Components has added overhung and extending configurations to its KBK Aluline light
crane system. Such solutions are designed for applications where there is a requirement to move loads beyond the crane runway span dimension. They enable operators to perform lifting and positioning tasks between pillars and columns or deposit loads in aisles and free areas between assembly zones and lines. Depending on the load capacity, design and profile section size, the range can be extended by up to 3,100 mm. Crane extensions to either side of the track runway span dimension may also be specified, creating an even greater range of crane coverage. Compared with Demag’s conventional KBK crane kit, this configuration has a lower headroom dimension,
allowing users to benefit from 120 to 220 mm more hook path, dependent on profile size, for improved utilisation of space below the crane girders.

Rear mounting option available for Han® metal hoods and housings
T
he metal hoods and housings of the Han® B, EMC and M series now offer rear mounting options for contact inserts, a solution which greatly
simplifies the preassembly of interfaces for control cabinets. With the new Han® metal housings, it is possible to lock the prefabricated
inserts directly from the rear into the bulkhead mounting housing from the interior of a control cabinet. In the past, Han® inserts had to be conducted from the inside of the cabinet through the panel cutout, before they could be preassembled outside. After that, they were pushed back and fixed into the bulkhead mounted housing. In the newly designed metal hoods and housings, the insulation bodies are
inserted into a plastic holding frame that snaps safely into the aluminum die- cast enclosure, supported by a lug.

that significantly simplifies the configuration, adjustment and diagnosis of many IO-Link Sensors. Making every minute matter. The SCTL55 can aid troubleshooting and improve your
C
production processes by providing data on sensor status, including current temperature, quality of run and process data and easily change the operating sensor parameters, such as switch point mode, sensing distance, timing functions, output configuration (PNP/NPN/push-pull, NO/NC), to better meet the process requirements. The smartconfigurator operates on the Android
platform and is housed in a polycarbonate body rated IP30 and comes complete with a 5.5” HD touch screen and dedicated apps to help you access advanced diagnostics, check operating hours, number of detections, operating cycles, alarms events and much more.
