GREENVILLE, N.C. (March 29, 2016) - Yale Materials Handling Corporation announces its 2016 MODEX seminar, "The Profitable Energy Equation for Materials Handling," scheduled for Tuesday, April 5 at 11:15 a.m. in theater D at the Georgia World Congress Center. The seminar covers the financial and environmental advantages of using lift truck solutions powered by hydrogen fuel cells, lithium-ion batteries and compressed natural gas.


Presented by Mick McCormick, Vice President of Warehouse Solutions for Yale, the seminar explores the productivity-enhancing benefits of alternative power solutions, including increased uptime, reduced maintenance and improved performance. The seminar also covers applications best suited to reap the most benefit from each power technology.

"In addition to maximizing throughput, todays distribution operations contend with evolving environmental regulations and fluctuating energy costs," says McCormick. "In such conditions, alternative power sources are an increasingly attractive option to overcome business challenges and improve performance and equipment lifecycles with less downtime." Yale will also be exhibiting at MODEX, April 4 - 7 in booth #3147.

3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!

This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
