The Ink Jet Saver, the revolutionary new invention from Hermes Inventions that promises to save users around the world time and money with a innovative solution to replacing ink jets for printers, is live on Indiegogo and raising funds to bring the project to life.

Seegrid, the pioneer and leader in three-dimensional vision navigation, engaged an independent third party market research firm to conduct a comprehensive survey of the challenges facing senior executives from large manufacturing and distribution corporations. The findings indicate that the top challenges include labor costs, materials management, downtime, safety, and productivity. Today, fifty percent of manufacturing expenses are tied up in materials, reinforcing the critical nature of efficient materials movement and management. This sentiment was further emphasized by Jeff Christensen, VP of Products and Services with Seegrid who stated, "$22,000 is the total cost of one minute of production downtime in the automotive industry, a frequent adopter of materials handling lean methodologies. At that rate, cost-savings are not optional, they are required."

Hytrol, world leader in the design and manufacturing of advanced conveyor systems and integration partner, Advanced Equipment Company (AEC) recently helped Morinaga America's Mebane, NC candy manufacturing facility. The company needed to design its new conveying and packaging lines. AEC's challenge was to develop a system that would convey the product from the bagging machines into the check-weighing system which would verify the weight of the bags. From there, the bags of candy were conveyed to an operator station where operators manually unloaded the bags from an upper belt conveyor into display boxes in cartons below on an accumulating conveyor.

Columbia Machine, the leading palletizer solutions provider in North America, is a valued integration partner of Hytrol. Hytrol's infeed case conveyor were used by Barcel USA. Barcel USA, the snack division of Grupo Bimbo located in the United States, needed an efficient integrated palletizing system to keep up with growth, and to help continuing expansion.

The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is the use of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies in manufacturing. Every day, Seegrid smart machines, vision guided vehicles, accurately and consistently capture performance data. These data include distant traveled, total errors, obstructions hours, follow hours, motion hours, powered hours, and rescue hours. Because the vehicles consistently collect these data, Seegrid is able to provide its customers with fleet data reports that allow them to identify inefficiencies and potential problems before affecting throughput productivity. For example, if vehicle #24 reports consistent obstructions, these data alerts the customer to be aware that people, equipment, or product may be blocking the vehicle's travel path.

Recently Hytrol introduced Pivot the Hytrol Warehouse Control System offering more visibility. This significant WCS offering means more control over daily activities and, ultimately, the customers' future. The ability to measure results creates a more efficient, more productive solution. Hytrol integration partners are going to use the Hytrol Pivot WCS to take control of key decisions with configuration options, including receiving item-by-item confirmation that objectives were met.

Seegrid, the pioneer and leader in three-dimensional vision navigation, fulfills the innovation pressures that many industries face. For example, the aerospace and defense (A&D) sector is facing increased pressure to continuously innovate and increase airplane productivity, while also reducing labor and operating costs. Achieving all these targets requires a large, specialized workforce. A&D executives are feeling the pressure to simultaneously produce innovative products, control costs, and plan for future growth to stay ahead of this increasingly competitive market.

Hytrol continues to grow, with 2016 on target to be the best year in the company history. The growth a distribution centers, manufacturing plants, and same-day ecommerce consumer demand is the fuel of the company growth. The company is adding staff at the Jonesboro, AR corporate headquarters.

David Peacock, Hytrol President recently discussed the attributes needed to become an optimal integration partner. According to Peacock, Hytrol works solely through a curated list of integration partners and has done so from the beginning. "Our integration partner network has been built over a 60+ year period. Each partner is different—they focus on different industries, different scales of projects, and have different capabilities for their customer networks. Yet they all must possess certain key attributes. Working with them, we have learned over the years which of these attributes increase the probability of a successful project and a successful relationship.

Topper Industrial's focus is on preventing the impact an accident can have on operations. Beyond the obvious and unacceptable emotional cost to employees, the direct and indirect costs of an accident – from workers' compensation benefits and lost productivity to damaged goods and machinery – can accelerate quickly.

The dust that most of us are used to accumulates over time on countertops, desks, and other surfaces. But aluminum dust is quite a different animal, and one that requires care and respect. Aluminum dust can be suspended as a dust cloud in air and subsequently ignite, unfortunately causing serious damage. The potency of this metal refuse is not to be trifled with – something that the professionals at Downdraft.com/MTA Technical Sales know all too well. They carry tables specifically designed for aluminum dust collection. These tables help companies across the country and around the world to work safer, without worry of an explosion as a result of combustion.

Ed Brown, founder of Topper Industrial, is a leading proponent of the North American Fork Truck Free Initiative. Brown noted that the frequency of fork truck operator error is free and cited the NIST report that approximately every three days someone in the U.S. is killed in a fork truck related accident.

Seegrid continues it personnel growth and expansion to address the strong demand in the marketplace. Staff has increased dramatically over 2015 and continues well into 2016. The company's strength is due to the growth of fork truck free mandates among large manufacturers and e-commerce distribution. Several Fortune 1000 firms are selecting Seegrid as the best option in lieu of AGVs, automated guided vehicles.
