One approach to loading bay safety gaining traction is the use of engineered interlocking systems that enforce safe sequences of actions. Salvo, the loading bay safety brand, part of the Sentric Safety Group, has been deploying this type of technology in warehouses for more than two decades, its solutions being designed to minimise ambiguity and contribute to the prevention of the kinds of human errors that can lead to serious incidents.
I visited Lille, Northern France where Exotec, the global leader in warehouse robotics has opened its new headquarters. Named “Imaginarium”, the 25,000 square metre facility reflects Exotec’s commitment to designing, developing and industrialising its technologies in Europe, and will be central to supporting its global growth. The inauguration also marked the first edition of Exosummit, bringing together Exotec’s customers, partners and broader ecosystem. Production plays a central role within Imaginarium, the headquarters includes an 8560- square-metre production area equipped with 11 operational Exotec systems, used for manufacturing, testing and continuous improvement of the company’s solutions.
A leading forklift manufacturer has announced a new strategic partnership with Arko d.o.o. as its official distribution partner for Slovenia. The collaboration underscores Clark Europe’s goal of further expanding its presence in the European market and strengthening its position as a leading supplier of industrial trucks. Arko, a renowned specialist in truck upgrades and logistics solutions, will now take over exclusive distribution of the entire Clark product range in Slovenia.
Freezer warehouses, chilled loading bays and temperature-controlled logistics hubs are among the most energy-intensive environments in the supply chain. One of the biggest sources of avoidable energy loss are doors, as every second they stay open, cold air escapes and warm air rushes in, placing extra strain on your cooling systems and driving up your energy bills. The Klimate K2 Freezer Door from BID Group operates at speeds of up to 1.5 metres per second, keeping internal temperatures stable while maintaining a steady flow of people, products, and vehicles, according to our cold storage & distribution feature.
Delivering a new benchmark in loading bay safety for warehouse and logistics operations, Hörmann UK has introduced its Automatic Wheel-Blocking system (AWB). Engineered to eliminate the risks associated with premature vehicle departure and ‘vehicle creep’ during loading and unloading, the AWB automatically detects a reversing vehicle and securely blocks the rear wheel, preventing any unintended movement and significantly reducing the potential for human error, our health & safety feature reports.
As the exclusive UK supplier of GoSmartEuro containers, goplasticpallets.com supports operations that rely on consistency, strength and clean movement through conveyors and automated systems. These containers use smooth external walls and reinforced solid bases, so they track reliably through systems and stand up to repeat handling without distortion. There are four height options, each with a 600x400mm footprint, which keeps layouts simple and predictable, says our pallets & containers feature.
