Racking system from Integrated Automation Systems

Users of the Integrated Automation Systems AutoRack1 can rack and un-rack from horizontal
and vertical lines anywhere in the operation. Users will be able to rack and un-rack gently and consistently at a rate of more than 2,500 units per shift, according to the company. On horizontal lines, the AutoRack1 indexer can be extended after racking so units can be cooled, gas-filled and closed, achieving one-piece flow. AutoRack1 reduces handling damage, thanks to a rack design that makes it nearly impossible to scratch glass in combination with the company’s automated process that consistently and gently racks and un-racks glass.

Monitoring app by Wood’s Powr-Grip

Wood’s Powr-Grip advanced its Intelli-Grip Technology with the introduction of a monitoring app for Android-powered devices. The app puts the same information as what is on the vacuum lifter gauges, but at a user’s fingertips, offering better access and greater detail. Lifter information can now be viewed from greater distances by multiple people on the jobsite. For safety reasons, the lifter-to-app communication is one-way. The app is only for monitoring and cannot control the lifter.
