Welcome to the April 15th issue of Warehouse & Logistics News. A happy Easter break to all our readers! After working hard the last few months we hope you get to enjoy a bit of downtime and even manage to sit in the sun, reading WLN.
READ THE April 15th ISSUE
Soon after the Easter holiday, it’s time for Multimodal, the UK and Ireland’s leading freight transport and logistics exhibition, celebrating its seventh year at the NEC from Tuesday 29th April-Thursday 1st May. Warehouse & Logistics News is the show’s official media partner once again, and we’re proud to present our Multimodal Supplement in this issue. If you’re going to Multimodal, come and see us on stand 214.
We’ve got three special features in this issue to bring you up to date on key areas of warehouse and logistics operations. ‘Power Sources’ covers all aspects of motive power in the warehouse and logistics environment, including batteries, LPG and engines. ‘Order Picking’ takes in pickers, pick to light, voice picking, and ‘Packaging’ includes returnable transit packaging, stretch wrappers and other forms of protection used throughout the supply chain.
It’s always good to hear about a long running success story, especially one happening in the UK. In our exclusive interview Peter Wylie, UK MD at Automated Packaging Systems, tells us how APS is celebrating 30 years of UK manufacturing and continues to innovate. It makes its newest GeoTech environmentally sustainable packaging with reprocessed and oxodegradable material here in Britain, to complement its existing range of quality packaging materials. As mail order fulfillment becomes an increasingly important part of warehousing and logistics, Automated Packaging Systems leads here too with modern solutions specifically for this sector, including the Autobag AB 255 Mail Order Fulfillment OneStep™ all-in-one bagging solution.
With warehouses getting bigger and throughputs speeding up, warehouse safety is more important than ever. And so is quality safety training for warehouse operatives. As featured on our front cover, Rack Training Ltd, The Rack Group’s training arm, now offers IOSH Working Safely and Managing Safely courses alongside its flourishing portfolio of training courses. Rack Training is one of the UK’s leading training companies specialising in warehouse and pallet racking safety training for people working in and around warehouses. They have helped numerous employees of blue chip companies undertake training in workplace health and safety, expanding their course diversity to offer the latest and most relevant courses possible. Rack Training’s IOSH courses available offer an in-depth and interactive look at health and safety procedures, with candidates undertaking written and practical assessments. The assessments are simple and easy to understand, culminating in successful delegates being awarded an IOSH certificate.
Happy reading, and see you at Multimodal!
