GREENE, N.Y., March 7, 2024 — As companies throughout the supply chain continue to deal with a shortage of skilled, dependable labor, their warehousing, distribution and e-commerce operations are increasingly turning to automation to help address challenges. The Raymond Corporation, manufacturer and designer of some of the material handling industry’s most advanced equipment, continues to expand its automation portfolio with the introduction of two new material handling and energy solutions to support operations.   The Raymond Courier™ 3030 Automated Stacker brings flexibility, scalability and reliability to automation applications and implementations, leading to a lower total cost of ownership. The enhanced Courier is built on the Raymond® chassis and mast and uses vision-guided technology that requires no additional infrastructure.    Enhancements to the Courier 3030 Automated Stacker introduce improved motion control, object detection coverage, increased speeds and Lane Staging capabilities to the existing features of the Courier 3030, including:  • Increased travel speeds from 3 mph to 4 mph.  • Improved Secondary Object Detection System from 2D light detection and ranging, or lidar, to 3D lidar. This new sensor package increases visibility for overhead, cantilevered and overhanging obstructions, which are commonly found in warehouse facilities.    • Low-clearance arch allows the lift truck to work in applications that operate under low overhanging structures (conveyors; stairwells; and facility infrastructures, such as piping, tubing and mezzanines).  • Reverse Object Detection Sensor detects objects when traveling in the fork-first (reverse) direction.     The enhanced Courier also offers three new sensors to support lane-building functionality: forktip sensors, a pallet-presence sensor and a pallet-detection system camera.     “Another critical feature of the 3030 is that it requires no modifications to existing facility infrastructure,” said Martin Buena-Franco, product marketing manager of automation, The Raymond Corporation. “This is a lift truck that can be operational on Day 1, providing for a fast return on investment.”     The Raymond Courier Automatic Charging System allows operators to focus on more valuable tasks while giving managers the flexibility to schedule charging according to operational demands.    With the Raymond Courier Automatic Charging System, operators no longer need to spend valuable time managing battery charging and maintenance. The Courier Automatic Charging System integrates with iBATTERY® and iWAREHOUSE® systems for optimum performance. By automating another process in the workflow and integrating seamlessly with the complete Raymond Courier line, the system offers a 24/7 automated material handling solution designed to increase labor efficiency, reliability and productivity.     “Meeting the expectations of today’s demanding customers means equipment operators need to spend as much time as possible doing just that — operating equipment,” Buena-Franco said. “By automating the charging process, we’re allowing operators and supervisors to focus on high-value tasks that only they can do while leaving easily automated tasks to the equipment itself.”     The iWAREHOUSE integrated system consists of a small hard-wired charging station that can be floor- or wall-mounted and two charging plates on the vehicle. Supervisory software dispatches the vehicle to the charging location either at a scheduled time, when the state-of-charge reaches a predetermined threshold or for opportunity charging. The vehicle automatically returns to service when needed or when the battery reaches the desired state-of-charge. With no manual unhitching required with drive-thru configurations, this product allows Courier trucks to be charged while towing carts.    The Courier Automatic Charging System is integrated with iBATTERY and iWAREHOUSE systems to give seamless integration that controls when a Courier truck is sent to the charging station based on your selected preferences.    “With these additions to our portfolio of automated equipment, we’re helping material handling operations overcome one of their most pressing issues while continuing the Raymond tradition of industry-leading innovation,” Buena-Franco said.    For more information or to locate an authorized Raymond Solutions and Support Center, visit www.raymondcorp.com or call 800-235-7200.    About The Raymond Corporation The Raymond Corporation, a member of the Toyota Industries family of companies, is a leading global provider of best-in-class material handling products and intelligent intralogistics solutions.

CEDAR RAPIDS, IOWA – March 13, 2023 – MobileDemand, provider of rugged tablets, cases and all-in-one mobile computing solutions for enterprise productivity, today announced it will be unveiling the new, modern Bluetooth xScale S200 and previewing xDIM™ Mobile pallet and irregular item dimensioning software at ProMat 2023 in Chicago, March 20-23.    “We are excited to expand the capabilities of xDIM Mobile Dimensioning with new features including irregular and pallet dimensioning as well as introduce our new smart xScale S200,” said Matt Miller, MobileDemand President and CTO “There is an urgent need in the market for mobile capturing of dimensions and weights, indicated by the frequent customer requests we receive for pallet and irregular item mobile dimensioning, and we are pleased to offer this highly sought after solution.”    xDIM Mobile Dimensioning xDIM Mobile Dimensioning (xDIM), powered by 4DMobile, is a software application used on rugged tablets with an Intel® RealSense™ 3D camera that quickly and accurately captures dimensions with a simple point-and-click.  The mobile, easy-to-use, point-and-click solution helps companies: • Easily and quickly gather accurate dimensions and weight to avoid charges from inaccurate data enabling shipping departments to make intelligent decisions on boxes too large for parcel systems that should go as freight. • Increase efficiency by collecting product item information, including dimensions and dim weight, scale weight, photos, barcode and RFID data with a single software application. • Optimize space by improving storage utilization in distribution centers, warehouses, delivery vehicles and truck trailers. • Streamline the reverse logistics process by determining the dimensions of a box for a returned product that arrived in damaged or unusable packaging at the point of receiving.   Currently on the market are the xDIM small and large box mobile dimensioning versions.    • Corner Method for Small to Medium Boxes: The standard version of xDIM captures box dimensions from 3-inches to 4-feet (48-inches) by pointing the tablet at the corner of a box. The corner method is certified by NTEP (an independent third-party certification by the National Council of Weights and Measures) as Legal for Trade. The certification ensures dimensions are accurate and reliable, meaning xDIM can legally be used for selling, purchasing, exchange, custody transfer, or establishing the cost for services or hiring on the basis of a measurement. xDIM provides dimensions within a half inch (0.5-inch) accuracy of the box’s true dimensions. • 2-Step for Large Box: For those needing dimensions for large boxes such as televisions, appliances and furniture, xDIM offers an upgrade for large boxes up to 8-feet (96-inches). With the 2-Stepmethod, the tablet is pointed at the front of the box then the side of the box. The software then calculates the dimensions in just seconds.    At ProMat, MobileDemand will provide a sneak peek of the newest xDIM features: mobile dimensioning of pallets and irregular items, also known as uglies.   • Irregulars: MobileDemand will be giving a preview of the soon to launch xDIM for irregular items and other non-cuboidal objects. This version captures dimensions via an innovative bounding box outline of an item and can combine multiple objects into a single bounding box. Ideal for companies needing dimensions of padded envelopes and other non-box items or companies needing to determine accurate box size for objects such as furniture. • Pallets: xDIM for pallets will also be previewed at ProMat. The revolutionary software captures dimensions of standard, cuboid shaped and mixed pallets in seconds. The xDIM software interface includes options to include or exclude the pallet from payload measurements as well as preselection of pallet sizes.   Each method offers the same core benefits: Mobility and convenience for frontline workers in warehouses, distribution centers and manufacturing facilities resulting in time savings, easier data management and improved data accuracy for smarter operations.    xDIM irregular and pallet dimensioning expected availability is late Q2, 2023. Patents pending.   xScale S200 The breakthrough xScale S200 is a completely portable, Bluetooth smart scale that can be used wherever items need to be weighed. Its lightweight, compact form, designed for personal portability, opens to an innovative Y-shape on which items are placed for weighing. The collapsible arms make it easy to carry and use, with a belt holster available to work hands free, ensuring the scale is conveniently available wherever it’s needed. The fully mobile, wireless solution enables workers to easily move with the scale throughout a facility and measure item weight without having to continually return to a stationary scale, saving substantial time.   Collected weight data for shipping and warehouse management systems is quickly captured by the xScale S200 and available via Bluetooth connection to a tablet or smart phone. The rechargeable battery last for 72-hours, ensuring it will easily last through multiple shifts.   The xScale S200 can be used as a stand-alone device, integrated into line-of-business applications, or as part of xDIM to collect all pertinent product data.    All xDIM versions as well as the xScale S200 will be featured at ProMat in MobileDemand booth S4279, McCormick Place, Chicago, IL, March 20 – 23, 2023.   About MobileDemand  MobileDemand is a technology leader in rugged tablets and mobile computing solutions, committed to bringing more functionality and capabilities to the mobile workforce.
