TouchPath adds Power- Picking ‘Control Centre’
to its ‘Touch 3PL’ third party logistics system I
nternational supply chain solutions provider TouchPath is extending its peak-season-scalable ‘Touch3PL’ third
party logistics solution with the addition of a “power picking” ‘Control Centre’ option, the company announced today. Control Centre delivers power-picking productivity increases of up to 50% according to logistics users. Other benefits include the facility to assign picks to
warehouse operatives on-screen, track pick status in real time and measure pickers’ performance by individual and by team, including time spent on ‘non-productive’ tasks such as cleaning or loading. Touch3PL is geared to the third party logistics market: the number of software licences can be increased and decreased in line with seasonal and other 3PL demands and its core functions can be run on desktop PCs or handheld radio terminals.

O
pex Logistics, the transport and freight-handling specialists have added 5 Krone Profi Liner
curtainsiders to their UK and European fleet. Based in Bristol, Opex are using the new trailers for
aerospace components handling on national and international routes and according to General Manager, Stephen Kempton, the Profi Liners’ loading flexibility is an asset to this type of specialist work.
“These curtainsiders are fitted with sliding roofs which
is ideal for fast and secure loading of outsized loads and particularly for the sort of items we handle for our aerospace contracts.
They are fitted with the standard Krone Multi Lock
loading system which has around 130 lashing points along each side rave. This provides virtually unlimited strapping options and means that the cargo is firmly secured at any point along the trailer bed.”
Also,” adds Stephen “the curtain straps can be
accessed from outside and inside the trailer, which is a plus-point for driver comfort and safety.”
Manufactured at Krone’s trailer plant in Werlte,
Germany, the Profi Liners are Code XL-certified which, says Stephen, is important to satisfy domestic VOSA security criteria and virtually a prerequisite for European work.
“These trailers are built for pan-European operations and in that regard, ideally suited to our diverse customer base. They are the first trailers we have bought from Krone and so far, they live up to our expectations: Flexible, secure loading and safe. Plus, the Krone quality ethos fits well with our own high standards.”
Established in 2003 and growing fast, Opex Logistics
provide a wide range of UK and international road, rail and sea logistics solutions for the manufacturing and retail sectors. The company operates up to 85 articulated vehicles and also provides a diverse express courier service for time-critical deliveries throughout the UK and mainland Europe.
