The War on Plastic Waste: How does this affect Coding and Marking?


T


he way we dispose and unnecessarily use plastic is a huge issue and it is up to a new generation of thinkers


to tackle the problem. As plastic remains the most prominent packaging


option for various industries, thermal transfer overprinting is the ideal choice of coding and marking technology- allowing machines to print at extreme temperatures, speeds and under varied factory conditions without compromising on the print quality. Should new combination materials or alternatives such


as cardboard and paper become the norm, thermal inkjet printing, which uses fast drying inks and is more compatible with porous materials, could become the preferred coding option. By offering both coding technology options, ICE is ensuring that we can provide the best possible solution and service as the packaging landscape changes to help save the planet.

offers a whole range of advantages and is also financially beneficial. Automated storage systems and software from Kardex are easy to install, operate, and maintain, which means that you can expect fast and clear results. It doesn’t matter what kind of industry you work in as the 140,000 systems installed by Kardex cover a broad section of most industries: • Increased efficiency. Our customers often report an increase in efficiency of between 100 and 400 percent.


• Space saved. The amount of floor space required can often be reduced by between 75 and 90 percent. This means that the same amount of goods can be stored on a footprint 10 to 25 percent the size of the original space.

Red Ledge launches Engineering Stores and Cost Centre Management System


cost centre management system, the company announced today. Designed to improve stores stock control and asset management, ‘Red Ledge Engineering Stores and Cost


S


Centre Management’ automates engineering component re-ordering to avoid out-of-stock as well as tracking assets that leave the stores to minimise equipment displacement and loss. System installation and training can be completed within two days and the typical payback period is around six months say Red Ledge. “Engineering stores inefficiency is surprisingly widespread. It can also be very costly given the project delays and equipment losses that result” says Red Ledge technical director Alan Wilcockson. “But early interest in the system has been strong, and the industry seems keen to improve its engineering stores management”.

Cimcorp to expand its production and office facilities in Ulvila, Finland


tyre-handling solutions, announces construction plans to expand its production and office facilities at its headquarters in Ulvila, Finland. The new facilities will be built on 8,500 square metres of land, bought by Cimcorp in August 2017, nearly doubling the footprint of its current 9,500-square-meter space. The expansion will enable the company to accommodate its continuing business growth with greater capacity and efficiency, as well as incorporate new space for research and development. Notably, the expanded facility will allow Cimcorp to build upon its strengths in the development of unique material handling systems. With this expansion, Cimcorp will have a total floor area of 17,400 square metres. Construction will begin during summer 2018, with plans for the facilities to be ready in summer 2019.
