Voorraadbeheer
|
Danone sometimes needed to stop production lines because containers with fruit preparations emptied unexpectedly. Nowadays, after each batch produced, the fruit containers are weighed on the hand pallet trucks that return them to the warehouse. This allows a higher efficiency in production planning and stock control.

Once every three months an inventory is made of the perfumes warehouse. Thanks to the weighing forks on the Linde forklift truck, the IBC containers only need to be lifted from the racking to know how much perfume they contain. When weighing a warehouse full of IBC’s, this saves them a full day’s work!

Controling waste flows
|
Nijsen Granico collects rest materials at food companies, for processing into cattle-fodder. Every Nijsen lorry carries a hand pallet truck scale. The driver weighs the collected containers in the presence of the client, the client signs for the weight collected and immediately knows what will be invoiced. A question of trust.

Controling waste flows
|
SITA Ecoservice processes hazardous waste materials. Different waste flows are delivered to the site in Almelo in different ways, but all flows need to be weighed and registered: for invoicing, planning and for the hazardous waste registration required by law. Therefore every lorry has an electric pallet truck with legal for trade scale on board and every forklift truck at the Almelo site is equipped with a legal fort trade scale. All weight data on waste flows is transferred to the SITA computer system.

Data communication
|
DHL Polen was trying to solve a problem in their internal logistics: there was no efficient solution for weighing pallet shipments. Since these “special shipments” could not be accurately invoiced, DHL was missing out on turn over. In the end DHL found the solution: installing scales on the Toyota forklift trucks that move the pallets, in combination with wireless data transfer to their computer system.

At Herberts expensive circulation systems became obsolete when they changed to explosion proof hand pallet truck scales to mix the paint, moving the scale from one component to the other. Thus they work faster, are more flexible in their production planning, and they have lowered their maintenance and investment costs.

Preventing overloads
|
At the distribution centres of the British postal service mail bags are transported in roll containers that are stacked for temporary storage. Safe procedures say that the roll containers cannot be loaded with more than 1,500 kg. For weighing the thousands of containers, Royal Mail equips its 500 Hyster forklift trucks with a hydraulic load indication system.

Order picking
|
In order to minimise errors during order picking, 3PL provider Scheren has equipped his STILL order picking trucks with integrated scales. The warehouse management system interrogates the scale for the net weight increase after each order line picked, and compares this actual net weight with the theoretical weight of the articles in the order line. Only if the weight corresponds, does the order picker receives the next order line on his truck terminal.
