Welcome to the 15 March Warehouse & Logistics News. Shakespeare fans will remember the Ides (15th) of March as the anniversary of Julius Caesar’s death, a turning point in Roman history. In modern times, W&LN readers will know there are just a few days left to another major event, Logistics@Foodex at the NEC from Monday 24th to Wednesday 26th March. As the industry’s only fortnightly title Warehouse & Logistics News is proud to be media partner to the show. If you’re there, come and see us on stand J351! If you missed your copy of the March 1st issue with our Logistics@Foodex preview, pick one up during your visit.
All year round, Warehouse & Logistics News brings you the latest industry news in print and online, plus a selection of special features to help you improve your business performance. In this issue we have Doors & Curtains, including industrial doors, curtains and roller-shutters, and Conveying & Sortation, looking at automated materials handling equipment and IT solutions.
If you’re thinking of reworking your warehouse this spring or whenever, our front cover stars Rapid Racking, the shelving and racking specialist, who have introduced a new online tool for the Design division of their business that allows one-to-one discussions via online conferencing, complete with a shared drawing facility.
This impressive, unique service offers Rapid Racking customers the opportunity to discuss their storage requirements face-to-face with their designer and watch their storage layouts being drawn live on Auto-CAD, from the comfort of their office. The conferencing tool means client and designer can keep in contact easily without losing the personal touch. Want a CAD drawing of your storage layout without a site visit? Need to amend an initial drawing? Rapid Racking’s team can simply send you a meeting invitation via email that will allow you to see your designer’s computer screen with audio function. Rapid Racking can draw and amend storage plans live during discussion and have it agreed and booked for installation faster than ever.
Instead of an online DIY planning tool, Rapid Racking software enables customers to get advice live from the experts to ensure a safe and efficient racking solution for your individual needs.
