Annual Awards Program Recognizes Innovation in the Global Supply Chain Technology and Logistics IndustryGREENE, N.Y., July 24, 2025 — The Raymond Corporation today announced that its iWAREHOUSE® ObjectSense Detection & Notification System (iW.ObjectSense) has been awarded “Material Handling Innovation of the Year” in the fourth annual SupplyTech Breakthrough Awards program conducted by SupplyTech Breakthrough, a leading independent market intelligence organization that evaluates and recognizes standout technology companies, products and services in the supply chain technology and logistics industry around the globe.The Raymond Corporation’s iW.ObjectSense enhances operator awareness, improves facility operating practices, and unlocks smarter, data-driven warehouse operations. The solution helps to improve real-time operator decision-making while maintaining speed, productivity and control.By using a dynamic detection field that adjusts in real-time based on the lift truck’s speed and steer angle, the system delivers optimum performance whether the lift truck is maneuvering through tight aisles or open warehouse spaces. It provides a flexible and reliable way to alert operators with audible and visual notifications of objects within the truck’s approximate travel path and provides slowdown or stop functionality based on your application needs and environment.In addition to the solution’s operational security enhancement, iW.ObjectSense offers robust reporting capabilities, with the system capturing critical insights on operator behavior, travel speeds, slowdown events and traffic congestion patterns within a facility. These insights enable warehouse managers to identify high-risk zones, streamline traffic flow and deliver targeted operator training based on real-world activity.iW.ObjectSense is also fully customizable and scalable as it can be tailored to specific facility and fleet needs, retrofitted to existing Raymond® lift trucks, or seamlessly integrated into new models to create fleets of intelligent, connected equipment. When combined with other iWAREHOUSE technologies, it supports an integrated ecosystem that maximizes labor, data and equipment utilization warehousewide.“Designed to support both performance and protection, iW.ObjectSense has been designed to deliver a transformative combination of dynamic object detection, intelligent alerts and actionable insights to make warehouses more secure and efficient from the ground up,” said Shannon Curtis, Director of Product Marketing, The Raymond Corporation. “We are pleased to accept this award from SupplyTech Breakthrough and will continue to support operators in material handling through intelligent automation and data transparency as they navigate the next generation of the supply chain and modern, optimized operations.”The mission of the annual SupplyTech Breakthrough Awards program is to conduct the industry’s most comprehensive analysis and evaluation of the top technology companies, solutions and products in the supply chain and logistics industry today. This year’s program attracted thousands of nominations from over 15 different countries throughout the world.“iW.ObjectSense empowers warehouses to take a proactive, insight-led approach to operational care and performance. Modern warehouses make for hectic environments where forklifts navigate narrow aisles and pedestrians making the margin for error thin. One collision can result in injury as well as lost productivity or damaged goods,” said Bryan Vaughn, Managing Director of SupplyTech Breakthrough Awards. “By transforming how lift trucks sense, respond to and report on environments, iW.ObjectSense from the Raymond Corporation is both enhancing operator security and redefining what’s possible in connected, responsive warehouse systems. We’re pleased to award iW.ObjectSense  with the ‘Material Handling Innovation of the Year’ award!”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.

Greer, SC—Creform Corporation, a manufacturer of unique products for the design and building of material handling structures and automated guided vehicles, has designed a unique cart titled, ACROS®.ACROS is a cart that is designed to be used on challenging terrains such as snow, soil, sand, mud, grass, rough concrete and even steps. Suitable for transportation in cities, snowy areas, unpaved regions, agricultural sites, construction zones or leisure activities.The ACROS cart uses a roller track system instead of casters. The roller track system provides for easy rolling, positioning and maneuverability in all types of terrain, including rough industrial floors.The ACROS roller track frames are available in two versions: the AX-800 and the AX-900. The AX-800 version dimensions are 790 W x 98 D x 192 H mm. The AX-900 dimensions are 890 W x 98 D x 192 H mm. The two sizes are available for small hand-pushed cart or for a heavier load cart.The unit is constructed with rust-resistant materials and can be fully washed for maintenance. The surface of the cart comes in five colors: khaki, olive green, navy, orange and black. The overall cart platform dimensions are 615 W x 900 D x 940 H (Handle) mm. The loading height is only 226 mm, making it easier to load and unload items. The low height provides stability and allows the cart to be easily maneuvered. ACROS has three customizable handle modes that allow for switching between different transport modes, based on the task at hand. The ACROS cart can be customized to specific needs based on usage and items being transported.Creform provides solutions for dynamic material handling needs in the ever-evolving landscape of manufacturing.

A principle is a general rule, fundamental, or other statement of an observed truth. Over time certain fundamental truths of material handling have been found to exist. The "principles" of material handling are often useful in analyzing, planning and managing material handling activities and systems. At the very least they form a basic foundation upon which one can begin building expertise in material handling. These principles, that serve as a starting point to identifying potential problems and assessing need, are: 1. Planning 2. Standardization 3. Work 4. Ergonomic 5. Unit Load 6. Space Utilization 7. System 8. Automation 9. Environment 10. Life Cycle Cost To receive a complete explanation for each of these :"Principles", contact the Material Handling Institute at (704) 676-1190 and ask for the document, "The Ten Principles of Material Handling".
