Destination Maternity’s new facility brings together shuttles, mini-loads, a bomb-bay unit sorter and sophisticated software to drive a true omni-channel distribution environment.

Here are five topics that came up in my visits with suppliers on the floor yesterday.

Leading manufacturer in the sensor sector partners with an international technology leader for independent image processing software.

Selecting the most appropriate automatic identification technology-or combination of technologies-can be a confusing proposition. Each offers specific advantages that may make them better suited to meet the application requirements and cost objectives of a given installation.

Used as a stand-alone or as a complementary technology to laser- and camera-based data capture, Radio-Frequency Identification technologies offer an increasingly affordable and automated means to improve inventory accuracy and omni-channel fulfillment execution.

Today’s sensors can capture information that not only can be used to realize cost savings from streamlining operations and minimizing waste, but also improve customer satisfaction.

A broad array of automatic identification and data capture (AIDC) solutions based on camera, laser and radio frequency identification (RFID) technologies are on display from SICK (Booth 1537).
