GREENVILLE, N.C. (March 16, 2017) – Technology is driving change
at an unprecedented pace in supply chain operations. Solutions based on technologies
that first emerged only a few years ago are now almost status quo. At the largest expo for manufacturing and supply
chain professionals in North America, Yale Materials Handling Corporation
presents an innovative lineup of lift truck solutions designed to help attendees
take control of their future. From April 3-6 at booth
#S1003 in Chicago’s McCormick Place, attendees can see the efficiency
advantages of robotic lift trucks firsthand, experience the value of virtual
reality technology for operator training, see how telemetry enables data-driven
fleet management and learn about the productivity benefits of alternative power
solutions.
- Robotic lift trucks
Driven by Balyo technology transforms Yale®
lift trucks into self-navigating, infrastructure-free robotic solutions –
no tape, wire or magnets required. These solutions bring the efficiency
and reliability benefits of automation to repetitive, low value-added
tasks.
- Lift truck simulator
Virtual reality technology helps ease the
learning curve associated with lift truck operator training. Simulators assist
in training and re-training without risking unnecessary damage to the truck,
facility infrastructure and other equipment, while boosting operator
confidence and productivity.
- Wireless asset management
Yale Vision helps control costs, protect
assets and optimize productivity by monitoring equipment, truck and driver
performance to help minimize total cost of operation.
- Lithium-ion power
Yale offers the first UL-recognized
lithium-ion battery in the lift truck industry. The lithium-ion option
requires no maintenance and lasts longer than AGM or lead acid battery
packs, saving over 80 percent on lift truck battery costs over their
lifetime. They can be opportunity charged from any standard outlet with no
negative memory effects, enabling operators to top off in-transit or at
the delivery site.
- Hydrogen fuel cell technology
Zero-emission fuel cell technology and
on-site hydrogen generation from Nuvera combined with Yale®
lift trucks enable complete turnkey solutions to reduce emissions and
improve performance.
ProMat seminars
In addition to booth displays and live
demonstrations, Yale will present two ProMat seminars.
