Palletways Group has launched a world-first for the global logistics industry \u2013 a technological innovation that takes operational efficiency and health and safety within pallet-focused environments to new levels.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The innovation, called Palletways ID, the world\u2019s most sophisticated forklift truck-mounted sensor technology, is set to make existing stand-alone pallet assessment and measuring technology obsolete, as it combines 4 key data measurements in one swift movement.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This technology identifies a pallet through imaging and barcode scanning, while delivering pinpoint accurate weight measurements as the pallet is being moved, and for the first time, cubes its dimensions in seconds again while the FLT is in motion.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Initially born from the operational need to capture and harness accurate data on individual pallets instantly and on the go, Palletways ID \u2013 the result of two years of research & development \u2013 also delivers greater than ever real-time information for health and safety.
\nAnnouncing the new technology at the Palletways UK Conference held at Silverstone on 10 May, attended by the company\u2019s growing membership, Rob Gittins, Managing Director of Palletways UK, said: \u201cThis is not simply a first for pallet networks, but first for the whole logistics industry. This doesn\u2019t just build on current technology, which involves stationary measurement tools such as cubing boxes and finger scanners. It effectively makes them obsolete.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In essence, the Palletways ID technology delivers four key operational components in one to Ketra customers and uniquely does so while the forklift truck operator is going about their regular warehouse duties:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Rob Gittins continued: \u201cOur technology\u2019s ability to effectively combine these four processes into one and capture instantly while on the move is a world first and a giant leap forward for logistics safety and efficiency.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cHealth and safety is our number one priority. The accurate weight and size data gathered by Palletways ID on every single pallet sent through the network means that any potential safety issues can be flagged at source before they arise and acted upon to prevent an incident before it happens.\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Richard Miller, UK Head of IT at Palletways UK, added: \u201cCrucially, the tech places into the hands of drivers all the information they need to safely deliver on a tail lift. With Palletways ID gathering the data on every single pallet, flags can be raised to ensure oversized, heavy or dangerous pallets are removed from the operation and rectified before reaching the lorry.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cWe are tackling the age-old problem of how to improve efficiency and data quality but without hindering overall performance. You cannot buy time, you have to try and make it, and Palletways ID is the first technology in our sector to do this by taking 4 key data measurements in real time and in one swift FLT movement\u201d.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Palletways Group has launched a world-first for the global logistics industry \u2013 a technological innovation that takes operational efficiency and health and safety within pallet-focused environments to new levels.
