MHI Updates
MHI has recently launched four MHI showcase pages on LinkedIn dedicated to ergonomics and safety, warehouse automation, rack safety and overhead lifting in the supply chain and material handling space.
The Overhead Alliance of MHI will hold an Overhead Lifting Safety Webinar Series in September. The webinar series will include presentations and Q&A from industry experts along with a resource guide for overhead lifting including information and tools for best overhead lifting practices and downloadable resources.
The Lift Manufacturers (LIFT) Industry Group of MHI is pleased to announce that they have released two new ANSI standards governing safety requirements for scissor lifts and tilters.
Whether you own an industrial steel storage rack system — or are considering investing in one — ownership comes with a variety of responsibilities. These include ensuring the structure is in compliance with applicable standards and properly maintained for the safety of the personnel working in and around it.
To help workers lift, handle and move heavy objects both safely and ergonomically, workstation cranes can be installed within individual manufacturing and assembly work cells. Designed to handle loads up to 4,000 pounds, these systems reduce the physical exertion, fatigue and risk of injuries associated with lifting and pushing or pulling loads.
Wireless, radio frequency (RF) based crane control has evolved to provide two-way communication, as well as the ability to interface with larger host networks.
Technology and Innovation
High-density automated vertical storage systems can help factories and warehouses eliminate wastes, significantly optimize manufacturing processes, and dramatically improve efficiency and productivity of the overall operations.
As the pandemic has swept across the world in the past few months, the necessity – and the dangers – of fully operational warehouses have come into public view as never before. Vertical lift modules provide a technological solution to the safety issue for warehouses or factories by managing the space between workers.
Education & Professional Development
Leadership
MHI member companies are among the leading suppliers in manufacturing and supply chain, and with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, many of these member companies have been doing amazing things to better the safety of our citizens and the security of our economy.
Supply Chain Trends
Gartner recently released the results from its annual Supply Chain Top 25, identifying supply chain leaders and highlighting their best practices.
Many organizations have invested in detailed Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP), but still experience out-of-stocks, over-stocks or expedites issues. Instead of wondering why you’re chasing short-term execution issues when long-term planning is firing on all cylinders, the answer may be adopting an enterprise-centric view of Sales and Operations Execution (S&OE).
