Heavy duty accumulation conveyor from TKF uses single drive to control multiple accumulation zones CINCINNATI, OHIO — TKF’s zoned accumulation conveyor with roll to roll chain driven live rollers (CDLR), is designed to handle medium to heavy duty loads. The zone lengths can be designed to coincide with the product lengths.

The entire conveyor length is then driven by a single power unit. Each accumulation zone is driven by air operated clutches that are controlled by photo eyes and solenoids located in each zone.

While sensor rollers are available, the all electric sensing eliminates the wear and tear of a sensor roller. The single drive configuration requires less power than multi-drive systems and produces a clean, low maintenance system.

TKF’s accumulation conveyor is also designed with each clutch assembly mounted on the side frame of the conveyor, instead of underneath. This creates a very low profile that positions the top of

each roller as low as 6-inches off the floor, making it ideal for heavy loads and pallet conveying. It also provides a very accessible location for moving parts, which makes maintenance very easy.

Roller diameters are available in diameters of 1.9, 2.5 and 3.5-inches and widths up to 60-inches. Weight loads up to 6,000-pounds are typical.

TKF designs, builds and installs conveying systems. The company’s services range from systems integration, initial engineering concepts and final design, to manufacturing and installation.

TKF’s manufactured products include reciprocating and continuous vertical conveyors, PosiGrip conveyor, overhead, monorail and power and free conveyor, popup transfer, accumulation, curve, roller and a variety of custom engineered conveyor and material handling systems.

Maximize battery life in warehouse operations

Mobile computers have revolutionized warehouse and logistics operations by allowing employees to automatically collect data at the point of activity, access warehouse management applications and transmit tracking and inventory data in real time. But the benefits of mobile computing improved accuracy, efficiency and productivity are only possible if workers are able to operate their mobile devices for a full shift without interruption. If the battery in the device can’t maintain a charge, productivity will suffer.

Batteries are a an unglamorous component in a mobile computing solution, and most end users don’t think about them unless there is some kind of a problem: they fail to charge, the charge doesn’t last the length of a shift, or the batteries require frequent (and costly) replacement. End users should think carefully about their battery management strategy during the early stages of a mobile computing deployment. Batteries for these rugged devices don’t last forever, but they should allow mobile employees to work throughout the length of a typical shift and withstand enough charging cycles to provide at least a year of service before needing replaced.

By selecting the right battery for the application, storing and charging them properly and implementing smart power management strategies at the device level, users can maximize the life of their mobile device batteries, boost productivity and save money in the process.

The life of a battery

Rechargeable batteries for mobile devices have gone through a significant evolution over the past several years. In the past, most devices used Nickel Cadmium (NiCad) batteries. NiCad batteries were relatively costly and sometimes suffered from what was known as the “memory effect” which could result in reduced charge capacity if the batteries were overcharged.

NiCad batteries have largely given way to Nickel metal hydride (NiMH) and Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries. NiMH batteries are a lower cost alternative that are often used in high drain devices. Li-ion batteries, on the other hand, have an excellent energy to weight ratio, making them a good choice for mobile devices. They also have a relatively low self-discharge rate compared to other battery types. Li-ion batteries have fast become the standard in most mobile computers and data collection devices.

While batteries have evolved to offer higher capacities in smaller form factors, the devices they power continue to add new features and functions that increase their overall energy footprint. Bar code scanners, color displays, cameras, wireless communications and other peripherals all put a strain on the battery, as do the general operation of the CPU, memory and hard drive motor.

A typical battery for a handheld computer or bar code scanner can last for a full shift (8-12 hours) in most applications, but this is highly dependent on a number of factors, including the use of wireless communications. Bat-

teries are also available in a variety of sizes and capacities, and end users should evaluate their application requirements to determine if they need a standard or high capacity battery for their mobile computers.

Mobile computer manufacturers provide general guidance on the life of the standard batteries that come with their devices, but end users should evaluate their power requirements within the context of their own unique application.

How the computers will be used and what capabilities will be required during a shift, will impact the type of battery selected and the frequency of recharging.

By evaluating the requirements of the application, it’s easy to determine if you will need a higher capacity battery. For batch applications that don’t involve real time, wireless communication, a lower capacity battery can usually handle a full shift while reducing the cost of the mobile device. Applications involving wireless communication, though, will almost always require a high capacity battery.

The capacity of a battery is measured in milliAmpere hours (mAh) and voltage; while these numbers are useful, they can be confusing for some end users, and the differences in these numbers among different batteries can make them difficult to compare. The mAh figure is a unit of electrical charge, and represents the amount of power the battery can store; the larger the number, the more power it can hold. Watt hours can also be a useful comparison.

You can measure watt hours by multi-

plying the milliAmpere hour rating by the voltage. Most suppliers offer a range of batteries. Datalogic, for example, provides batteries for its devices that range from 1000 mAh to 5000 mAh ratings, depending on the device and hardware options available for the device.

Other elements to consider: How quickly can the battery be recharged?

Will data be lost if the device loses power before the battery can be changed?

Can the batteries be “hot swapped” while the computer is still operating?

What is the maximum number of times the battery can be recharged?

Extending the life of a battery Generally speaking, the batteries used for rugged mobile devices in high use environments should be replaced each year to ensure device performance. That’s because even the best batteries will degrade over time, losing as much as 30 percent of their capacity in the course of a year, depending on the number of recharging cycles they’ve gone through. But even though batteries will lose capacity over time, there are still strategies that end users can employ to make sure they get the most out of their batteries. By properly maintaining and storing your batteries, and adjusting device settings to maximize the time between charges, you can make sure that your batteries last a full shift and can be utilized for 12 months or more before replacement.

peratures, excessive heat can harm the batteries and reduce their useful life. So if your mobile computers or spare batteries are to be stored for any length of time, make sure the storage environment will not expose the equipment to extreme temperatures. Typically, Li-ion batteries can be stored in areas that are between 32 and 104 degrees Fahrenheit, but lower temperature storage out of direct sunlight is best. Ideally, store the batteries in a cooler place, with a charge of about 40 percent of capacity.

Take advantage of power management tools: Do your new mobile devices come equipped with power management capabilities to help reduce battery consumption? Power management software allows users to create power saving profiles for both work and idle hours, and may include settings so that users can determine when a display will dim if the computer has not been used after a certain period of time, or to power down the computer after a lengthy period of being idle. May of these settings can be manually adjusted, but power management tools can make it easier to create a device profile that maximizes battery life.

For example, Datalogic offers power management tools in its mobile computers that offer a sleep/off mode with programmable timeout, as well as settings that can adjust the power output in both idle and operating modes. These devices also have a low battery indicator so that workers have plenty of time to swap out batteries before they are completely discharged. Turn down the (back) lights: One easy way to improve battery performance is to reduce the

drain the backlight places on the power source. Most mobile devices allow users to control the brightness on the display, as well as the amount of time that passes before the backlight dims when the device is idle. Adjusting these settings can improve battery performance, but how much flexibility you have in altering the backlight will be determined by the lighting conditions in which employees have to work.

Turn down the volume: A less obvious strategy is to simply turn down the volume on the device. Mobile computers often utilize audible tones to indicate an error, or a successful bar code scan. By reducing the volume, users can decrease the time between charges by as much as 36 percent.

Adjust wireless LAN settings: For warehouse management applications that rely on real-time communications, mobile computers communicate with backend enterprise solutions via a wireless LAN; depending on the network coverage and device settings, the process of connecting with a wireless LAN access point and then authenticating the mobile device can rapidly deplete the battery in your handheld computer.

If a wireless device is left in a constant “on” state, perpetually broadcasting a signal to the network even when no data is being transmitted, batteries can be drained in as little as two or three hours. Wireless LAN modules typically include power management tools that allow users to configure the device in a “power saver” mode.

Typically, a device can be set to use a lower power signal in areas of dense

wireless coverage and a higher field strength where coverage is weak. Network security settings can also impact battery life. Requiring a wireless LAN module to go through a full reauthentication when a user moves from one WLAN access point to another can increase power usage, for example.

The WiFi Alliance, the nonprofit industry association that manages and promotes standards related to wireless LAN products, introduced WMM Power Save to help manage battery power in mobile devices. Power Save works by allowing client devices to “doze” between data packets, while the access points buffer downlink frames. According to the Alliance, Power Save can improve battery performance by 15 to 40 percent, depending on the application.

However, using WLAN power management tools can negatively impact data throughput in some scenarios. Careful testing should be conducted before deployment to determine the impact of various power controls on both battery life and transmission speeds.

Even companies that aren’t currently using a wireless LAN should take a look at their radio settings. If you are using a device with WLAN capabilities, even though you aren’t taking advantage of them right now, make sure the radio is turned off — otherwise, the radios could quickly deplete your batteries while searching for wireless signals that aren’t there.

in place for battery management, the batteries in your mobile devices will need to be replaced. Most of the batteries available for rugged mobile computers are good for approximately 500 recharging cycles before they begin to significantly lose capacity. Some battery chargers include built-in battery condition monitoring tools so that you can quickly see if a battery has lost any of its recharge capacity. Once a battery loses half or more of its capacity, it should be replaced. Otherwise, workers will waste a significant amount of time swapping out batteries midshift. Work with your mobile device supplier or integrator to establish the best process for ordering new batteries and disposing of or recycling the old ones.

Conclusion Batteries play a key role in the success of any mobile deployment. If the batteries in your mobile devices can’t last a full shift, employees will have to stop working to retrieve and replace their batteries, which can create a significant drain on productivity. If batteries die while the device is in use, you could also lose valuable operational data in the process.

By selecting batteries with enough capacity to handle your warehouse applications and instituting a power management strategy that includes the proper storage of your batteries, as well as adjusting the device settings to maximize battery life, you can ensure that your mobile computers can provide a full shift’s worth of benefits.

Aigner label holders: The solution to warehouse efficiency

Organization and labeling of material and locations in a warehouse is a vital function. The ultimate goal is to know where everything is — all of the time.

That’s not always possible when label designations change or when human error is present. Clear plastic insertable label holders, with printable laser inserts are the most versatile solution for an efficient warehouse.

The “original” clear plastic insertable label holder was derived from C.R. Chamberlain’s 1950 patent for “HOL_DEX®.” This first insertable Label Holder was intended for file drawers and loose leaf binders. To change designation simply remark the insert and slip it into the holder. C.R. Chamberlain, president of the Cel-U-Dex Corporation (an office products company), was the author of a book entitled “Filing Facts,” which featured the insertable label. The relationship between filing in an office and storing material in a warehouse is strikingly identical. The label holder diversified into many other markets: libraries, retail display, communications and then finally warehouse storage in the 1970s.

Today, Aigner Index, Inc, who purchased Cel-U-Dex Corp. in 1998, offers a full line of insertable label holders distributed through material handling and industrial supply distributors for industrial applications.

Depending upon the amount of label detail needed and the space available,

Aigner from 10 Aigner’s product offering covers a variety of application solutions for all types of shelving, including: Pallet racks, flow racks, wire shelving, plastic bins and totes, floor storage, coated pipe modular components and Extruded Aluminum “T-Slot” modular components.

Barcode labels absolutely must be protected. An unprotected bar code label can be damaged to the point of hopelessness by dust, dirt, grease, moisture or smudged label ink. It’s just a matter of time in a warehouse environment before an unprotected bar code label becomes useless. Then it either will not scan or even worse, scans

inaccurately (the wrong product…). This obviously causes serious shipping and inventory problems which not only creates internal problems, but will irritate or possibly cause the loss of a good customer. Aigner Insertable Label Holders solve this problem.

In today’s storage facilities, the old adage “A place for everything and everything in its place” is more applicable than ever. With today’s emphasis on error proofing, while still maintaining high throughput, an effective label holder system is critical. This starts with management establishing an identification system and then supporting that

system with solid procedures and top quality labeling hardware. Well run companies realize that misplaced or misidentified items can contribute to quality problems and shipping delays that ultimately cost the company money. A label holder system is an investment that pays dividends daily.

Cost justification is easy. Whatever the initial investment cost is for a labeling system, it rarely exceeds five percent of the total warehouse cost. This relatively small investment pays big returns in: • Improved accuracy of inventory; • Knowledge of material locations; • Employee productivity;

• Ease of normal designation or location changes; and • Savings in labor to apply and remove permanent self adhesive labels — no more.

Clean up time! Mark Aigner, owner and president of Aigner Index, Inc. (The Label Holder Co.), New Windsor, NY adds: “No other function in the warehouse contributes more towards overall efficiency and monetary savings than an effective labeling system.”

Egemin hybrid automated guided vehicles: The new face of AGV’s HOLLAND, MI — The ‘man a board’ forklift and the Automated Guided Vehicle have finally become one. Morphing manual and automatic operations onto a standard off the shelf forklift provides manufacturing and distribution centers the ultimate in material handling flexibility.

The ProMat 2011 Trade Show in Chicago, IL, was the launch pad for Egemin’s new Hybrid Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV). Expo attendees who visited the Egemin display saw first hand how easily an operator can interrupt automatic AGV operations, drive the vehicle manually and then place the forklift back into fully automatic laser guidance mode.

To date, Egemin has sold a number of Hybrid Automated Guided Vehicle Systems that move over 10 million pallets annually. Hybrid AGVs are available in two sizes, 3,500 and 5,500-pound lifting capacities. The Hybrid AGVs efficiently move pallets between manufacturing cells, warehousing and standard over the road trailers. With lifting heights up to 23foot, deep lane floor stacking, pushback rack, drive-in rack and standard racking are common interface points for these versatile vehicles.

The Hybrid AGV comes standard with industrial lead acid batteries, laser navigation, advanced laser safety systems, graphical touch screen monitor, Windows OS on solid state drive (SSD) media and 802.11 wireless communications. Optional components based on specific system requirements include RFID readers, bar code scanners, 3D camera technology, robotic battery exchange system, automatic battery charging, mechanism side shift and automated single/double fork systems.

Companies in the food, beverage, plastics, consumer goods and big box retail distribution markets chose Egemin Hybrid Automated Guided Vehicles for their flexibility, familiarity, reliability and affordability. Combined with Egemin’s Warehouse Management Sys-

Philadelphia Scientific introduces iBOS basic

The latest addition to its line of intelligent battery organizing systems MONTGOMERYVILLE, PA — Philadelphia Scientific, The Lean Battery Room Experts™, a leading international manufacturer of industrial battery components and accessories, has introduced iBOS® basic, the latest addition to its line of intelligent battery organizing systems. iBOS basic offers the same industry leading battery management technology and many of the same features as iBOS® PRO, but is designed specifically for small fleet owners — and at a lower cost.

Prior to the development of iBOS basic, it was difficult for small fleets to properly manage battery assets without significant expense.

Thus, many smaller operations have experienced uneven battery use, which has led to shortened run times, hot batteries, premature battery failure and lost productivity. With the introduction of iBOS basic, ware-

houses and distribution centers can save money in three ways: faster battery changes; less frequent battery changes and longer lasting batteries, reducing the frequency of battery purchases. iBOS basic can manage up to 31 chargers within a single pool of batteries of the same voltage used for the same type of forklift truck. Like iBOS PRO, the system instructs operators which battery to choose based upon which one has had the longest cool down time since charging.

A backlit display clearly indicates the number of the battery to take next. If an operator selects an incorrect battery, a built-in alarm sounds. The display screen provides detailed information about the fleet including the number of batteries presently available, battery availability over the previous 24 hours, the number of batteries selected and the percentage of incorrect selections. iBOS basic can be quickly and easily installed by warehouse staff.

Like iBOS PRO, the system instructs operators which battery to choose based upon which one has had the longest cool down time since charging.

“A great deal of money is wasted in the battery room due to poor battery rotation,” said Harold Vanasse, vice president of sales and marketing for Philadelphia Scientific. “iBOS basic provides an easy, cost effective solution to properly

manage battery fleets. It ultimately allows managers to reduce the number of battery changes, which in turn will save time and money in the battery room.”

Since 1983, Montgomeryville, PA based Philadelphia Scientific

has brought advanced technology solutions to the industrial battery industry. The company specializes in the research, design, development and manufacture of industrial battery components and tools that maximize battery perform-

ance. For more information about Philadelphia Scientific, visit the company’s Web site at www.phlsci.com or contact the company at 215616-0390 or e-mail at info@phlsci.com.

Hyster awarded for continued safety; sets record

Company reaches three million hours without lost time accident in 2010 CHICAGO, IL — Hyster Company, an operating division of NACCO Materials Handling Group, Inc. (NMHG), has been selected by the North Carolina Dept. of Labor as a Million Hour Safety Award and Gold Safety Award winner.

This is the seventh straight year that Hyster has won both awards.

Million Hour Safety Awards are given to firms that accumulate one million employee hours with no case of injury or illness involving days away from work. Gold Safety Awards include cases of days away from work, restricted activity or job transfer.

Last year, Hyster reached three million hours without a lost time accident in its Greenville, NC, facility. That is over 50 percent lower than the industry average for lost time accidents in all Americas facilities and the best in the company’s 80 plus year history. In addition, all Hyster worldwide facilities, including plants and offices, reached one million hours without lost time.

“It was a year of safety milestones for Hyster and NMHG,” said John Gardiner, general manager Americas Manufacturing, NMHG. “Achieving zero injuries without a day away from work for such a long period of time sends a clear message that our lean manufac-

turing principles are paying dividends.

We also secured a record setting 610 consecutive days without days away from work due to injury. That is beyond world class.”

Based in Greenville, NC, Hyster Company (www.hyster.com) is a leading worldwide lift truck designer and manufacturer. Hyster Company offers 130 models configured for gasoline, LPG,

diesel and electric power, with the widest capacity range in the industry — from 2,000 to 115,000-pounds.

NMHG is headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio, and is a wholly owned subsidiary of NACCO Industries, Inc. (NYSE:NC).

Continental’s new solid tire for better forklift traction

FORT MILL, SC — A new press-on band industrial tire from Continental Tire the Americas, LLC (“Continental”) has been designed for North American markets and improves forklift traction.

The Industrial Tire business unit of Continental’s commercial vehicle tires now offers the new ContiPT18, a solid industrial tire in press-on band construction. The tire is available now in the first ten of 11 planned sizes in standard low rolling resistance compound and will be introduced in “clean” or non-marking compound later this quarter, said U.S. sales manag-

er Carol Piechan.

With a new tread design, similar to Continental’s best selling SC18 super elastic tire, the ContiPT18 features a wide flat profile with increased lug to void ratio. The design is a deep, aggressive lug pattern which also includes a modified rib to enhance traction and delivers improved lateral stability.

“The ContiPT18 is one of the first industrial tires we have introduced that is specifically engineered for North American forklift usage,” Piechan said. “Forklift operators can now look to the ContiPT18 for a press-on band

tire that will improve their traction on uneven and wet surfaces such as loading docks, outdoor applications and ramp inclines.”

The entire family of Continental press-on band solid tires, which also includes the MH20 and MC20, offers the additional benefits of lower rolling resistance and increased durability under heavy loads versus major competitors, Piechan added.

The ContiPT18 standard compounds are currently shipping from Continental’s distribution center in Lockbourne, Ohio. Distribution will be expanded to

the company’s other distribution centers in Redlands, CA, Gainesville, GA and Oshawa, Ontario when the nonmarking compound becomes available in the second quarter of 2011.

Planned sizes for the PT18 are: 16x5x10; 16x6x10-1/2; 18x6x12 1/8; 18x7x12 1/8; 18x8x12 1/8; 21x7x15; 21x8x15; 22x8x16; 22x9x16; 22x12x16 and 21x9x15, which will be available in the third quarter of 2011.
