Unlike many standard caster wheel products, Rotacaster provides a compact, robust, corrosion-resistant full polymer solution with extraordinary functionality. Each wheel acts independently and is not limited to a four point wheel configuration; allowing for numerous combinations to achieve load sharing and required maneuverability. Just as Kleenex is to tissue, Rotacaster is to the Omniwheel. Rotacaster Wheel Limited is an Australian company with a focus on innovative product design. Rotacaster is a patented multi-directional wheel quickly becoming the alternative to the swivel caster. The Rotacaster is a sturdy, robust wheel, adaptable to a vast array of applications and it overcomes many of the limitations associated with the traditional swivel caster wheel.

Applications for the Rotacaster range from material handling equipment (hand trucks, trolleys, dollies, carts, skates) to shopping carts and luggage; from conveyor transfers, pipe rollers, and other inverted applications to robotics and patient lifts in medical settings.

The Rotacaster is a sturdy, robust wheel, adaptable to a vast array of applications and it overcomes many of the limitations associated with the traditional swivel caster wheel.

Manufactured from engineering polymers, the Rotacaster’s injection-molded, weblike structure and over-molded rollers, ensure a durable and robust wheel with no pins, inserts or seams, making it ideal for tough environments. The fixed orientation of the wheel facilitates both simple and stable mounting alternatives that improve load stability and are less prone to impact damage.

The Rotacaster wheel, while fixed in a primary orientation, facilitates movement in any direction without the need of a traditional swivel mount. Omni-wheels have been used in conveyor and light-duty robotics applications for years, yet the Rotacaster multi-directional wheel is engineered to provide additional robustness, durability, and ride quality necessary as an industrial floor wheel. The Rotacaster is a sturdy, robust wheel, adaptable to a vast array of applications and it overcomes many of the limitations associated with the traditional swivel caster wheel.

The less time spent looking up or processing data means more time improving product quality or delivery. Microsoft is the de facto leader in business productivity applications. Features from Microsoft Office that improve the user experience are built into Dynamics AX 2012. Working with data is like working in Excel, with sorting, filtering and advanced query tools to speed up decision making. The Action pane, or Ribbon as it is called in Office, enables the user to easily navigate to any related function or process. Eliminating menu searches with forward, back and history buttons, helps you find things more quickly, with fewer clicks and less pain. Contextual intelligence is provided with simple rollover of the mouse, or a single click hyperlink. Regardless of the challenges facing an ETO organization, it makes sense to simplify how the team gets work done.

Based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Seegrid Corp. (http://www.seegrid.com) brings robotic vision-guided technology to the material handling industry. Seegrid offers solutions that optimize workflow processes by increasing productivity and reducing costs, creating economic and operational advantages. Seegrid was recently profiled in Pallet Enterprise by columnist, Rick LeBlanc; the journalist explored the impacts of materials handling automation on pallet design and the importance of improved quality in modern systems.

Touch screen productivity ensures that engineer-to-order manufacturers are capturing labor costs accurately and efficiently. This information is another critical challenge for the ETO manufacturer, especially when labor is directly applied to a major project. This is always a challenge for manufacturing when labor represents a significant percentage of the cost of goods sold. There’s a long standing effort to capture actual labor as accurately as possible without placing an undue burden on the labor force to manually record and type in labor time.

Hybrid Mode recognizes that the ETO shop needs flexibility to employ the most efficient production modality available. Being locked into only a traditional MRP shop floor mode may limit opportunities to cut costs, reduce inventory, or streamline a production process. With Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012, the shop can optimize processes based on specific requirements, including finite capacity scheduling, lean manufacturing, and more traditional shop floor methods.

The fixed orientation of the wheel facilitates both simple and stable mounting alternatives that improve load stability and are less prone to impact damage.

Information delivery needs to be timely and meaningful. There is no reason why ETO firms cannot find out immediately about a shortage, an engineering change that affects production, or even updates to company policy or news. The information should lead directly to the place where follow-up processing can happen. There is limited benefit in receiving a shortage notification in email, if one must login to another system to resolve it.

ETO organizations today are under pressure to cut costs and produce more with less. This usually means fewer available resources for the tasks required for engineering, design and production. Many resources are now cross-trained on multiple disciplines or work tasks. Certain tasks require specialized skills and applying the wrong resource to a critical task can end up costing big time if the product is wrong or needs to be reworked.
