MOVING & LIFTING INTEGRATED SYSTEMS
Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) links, available directly from the client’s website, allows orders to be dropped into the Warehouse Management System (WMS) at Palletways, day or night, without the client having to manually enter any details. This saves time, provides an excellent end user service level and allows for full traceability of stock, orders and despatches on a WMS portal.
ADAPTABLE STORAGE SPACE
An average business profile may change over time or require additional services, and Palletways’ bespoke solutions, all accessed from one account, has multiple options including racking storage, bulk storage, container offload, palletised picking and cross dock activity.
PAY ONLY FOR USED SPACE
Rather than paying for a fixed storage space or larger premises, clients only pay for the storage they need, offering cost savings compared to owning and running their own warehouse. Clients find this particularly useful when they see seasonal demand or changes in buyer behaviour.
O’Brien adds: “We find that many clients don’t want the hassle of dealing with pallet movements but don’t want to compromise on offering a streamlined customer service, and this is where Palletways Fulfilment comes in. “We take care of every aspect of fulfilment so that the client can free up time and resources to get on with running their own business.” Global info-logistics provider cargo-partner has been outsourcing many of their fulfilment services to Palletways for the past year to improve efficiency while maintaining the highest levels of customer service. Cargo-partner uses Palletways Fulfilment to
receive, store, order pick and send out goods on behalf of its clients and says the flexibility, cost effectiveness and service performance were the key benefits they received. Managing director Ireland Fergal Keenan says: “Both the industry and the demands from clients are ever changing which is why it is vital to have the flexibility to deal with the challenges that this brings. “The simple integration of our technology on the
front end and the Palletways technology at the back end ensures the entire process is totally streamlined so that we can find the right solution for our clients with full confidence that orders go out in time. “This is a great example of how technology can be
used to manage a process on a remote basis while taking away a whole layer of cost and complexity that we would otherwise have to deal with ourselves.”

raw-wire displacement sensors from Micro-Epsilon are used successfully in many different industries, one of the most important being mobile machinery, where the sensors
need to be compact, provide large measuring ranges (typically 6 m to 8 m) and offer an attractive price/performance ratio. A common application for draw-wire
sensors in mobile machinery is the measurement of boom and support positions. Telescopic loaders, for example, often require a measuring range of 8 m. In addition to analogue outputs, the demand for digital interfaces is also increasing, particularly for CANopen. To better serve these applications, Micro-
Epsilon has expanded its wireSENSOR WPS-MK88 and wireSENSOR WPS-K100 series of draw-wire sensors with larger measuring ranges and CANopen interface. The wireSENSOR K100 series of draw-wire
displacement sensors measure distance and position precisely, combining high performance for outdoor use with an excellent price/performance ratio. The series now offers a larger measuring range of up to 8 m, as well as a CANopen interface for all measuring ranges up to 8 m, making the sensors ideal for off-highway vehicles, mobile machinery, mobile cranes and lifting technology. The compact K100 series is protected by a glass fibre-reinforced plastic housing, as well as
separate drum and spring spaces, making the sensors extremely robust (IP69K) against external influences. The MK88 series of draw-wire sensors has also been expanded with a larger measuring range of up to 6 m, as well as a CANopen interface for all measuring ranges up to 6 m. The MK88 is specially designed for mobile applications in series such as mobile cranes and mobile working platforms. The combination of compact size, robustness and price makes the sensors unique, offering new potential in design and cost optimisation. Draw-wire displacement sensors from
Micro-Epsilon are extremely robust and flexible. They measure positions and distances between 50 mm and 50 m. Robust housings protect against external influences. Due to their compact design, the sensors can also be integrated in narrow installation spaces. Measurements are performed in a simple way, quickly and with a long sensor service life. Output of measurement values is either analogue or digital, depending on the sensor model. For customer applications, various adaptations can also be implemented at any time. For example, the measuring wire can be guided over deflection pulleys to achieve an ideal measuring situation. Micro-Epsilon’s portfolio of draw-wire displacement sensors includes more than 120 models in different designs and measuring ranges.
