Finnish company K.Hartwall, known for intralogistics solutions including returnable load carriers, electric tugger trains and autonomous mobile robots, sees move as strengthening its APAC business

The typical warehouse applications largely remain the same year after year--receive, replenish, pick, pack, ship. These basic principles haven't changed a whole lot, but the processes and equipment used to support them are always improving.

In today’s warehouses and DCs, companies want efficient, reliable equipment that can be operated safely. Here’s how makers of carts, tuggers and casters are responding to those needs.

You might think that working in a grocery store or a big box retail store poses minimal safety risk. In most cases, that is true. However, some employees, including stockers and order pickers, face potential hazards daily.

Providers of casters and automated carts aren’t quite reinventing the wheel, but they are evolving to better support the move toward automation. That means evolution in terms of caster designs that are maintenance free and easy to roll to support high uptime.

K.Hartwall solution range spans tow-trains, carts, and foldable cages

Not everything fits in a standard sized carton that moves around the DC with ease. Some items are just too big, too small, too heavy or too irregularly shaped for standard conveyors and require special handling. Don’t be intimidated. With the right planning and resource allocation, you’ve got this.
