  • Do you copy? GT Nexus, a leading provider of global logistics and supply chain execution technology, has been awarded a contract by Xerox Corp. for the software and services to support Xerox's global supply chain improvement initiative. Under the multi-year contract, GT Nexus will configure and deploy its Enterprise Series 7 software solution in a hosted, Web-based private logistics network specifically for Xerox and its supply chain partners and service providers.

  • Honors program. Intermec Technologies Corp. has named Bluesoft Inc. of San Mateo, Calif., to its Honors Partner program. Bluesoft's AeroScout WLAN Location System adds location capability to a Wi-Fi wireless network. The AeroScout system, which has applications in markets ranging from manufacturing and logistics to retail and health care, provides realtime location information on high-value assets such as forklifts, trailers and expensive tooling, which can save manufacturers time and money in locating and managing equipment. AeroScout's location-based authentication capabilities also can be used to automatically detect and locate unauthorized network users and deny them access to the network.
  • Extra! Extra! Alvey Systems, an FKI Logistex member company and integrator of automated material flow solutions, has signed a contract with The Courier-Journal, a Louisville, Ky., newspaper, to provide key material handling system components in its new manufacturing plant. Among the systems Alvey Systems will provide for the 135,000-square-foot facility is an advanced bundle sortation and distribution system. The project also features 10 newspaper tie-lines and conveyors, in addition to merging and sortation equipment that moves and routes newspapers through the plant. Ten inputs will sort and distribute bundled newspapers to five cart-loader output stations and four bulk-loading output stations. The system's maximum capacity is 132 bundles per minute, with each bundle containing 35 to 40 newspapers.
  • Self-improvement regimen. General Nutrition Companies Inc. (GNC), a leader in specialized nutritional supplements, has licensed RedPrairie's DigitaLogistix suite of supply chain execution solutions to improve efficiency, customer service and overall operations.
