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.

Australian supermarket chain rolls out AI-powered grocery carts

Grocery shoppers in Australia will soon be able to zip in and out of the store in record time, bypassing the lines for cashiers or self-checkout kiosks altogether. They can just walk in, make their selections, and walk out with their bags in hand.

The secret to this express shopping experience is the “Caper Cart,” an AI (artificial intelligence)-powered smart trolley from San Francisco-based Instacart. In its first deployment in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region, the system is being tested by Coles Supermarkets, a food and beverage retailer with more than 1,800 grocery and liquor stores throughout the country.
