Envio 360 Joins the Advent eModal Platform

SOMERSET, N.J.—April 28, 2020 – Advent eModal, provider of the eModal® suite of applications that simplify and accelerate the flow of cargo across the intermodal supply chain, today announced that it has established an exclusive license to commercialize the Envio 360® drayage optimization technology as part of its integrated platform of services. Envio 360 will move forward as a service offering under the eModal brand.

“We believe drayage optimization represents a key opportunity for efficiency gains in the flow of containers between port and rail terminals, and their inland destinations,” said Parvez Mansuri, CEO of Advent eModal. “The use of this technology offers benefits to a number of constituencies, including terminal operators, shippers, dray fleets, and drivers, as well as the customers and communities that they service.”


The Envio 360 technology continuously recalculates the unique complexities of drayage logistics to produce the most efficient real-time dispatch plan. The integration of Envio 360 with eModal ensures that the information needed for accurate motor-carrier optimization, such as appointment setting, terminal operating schedules, and equipment availability, is seamlessly accessible to the Envio 360 optimization engine.

“As we were building out the Envio 360 technology and working with our early adopter clients, we constantly identified touchpoints with the data and services that eModal provides,” said Envio, Inc. Founder and CEO Brian Widell. “As we learned how the innovations underway at eModal could benefit our users, it became clear that the most effective path to commercialization of our solution was to join the eModal platform.”

In conjunction with the licensing of the Envio 360 technology, Widell has joined Advent eModal to lead this aspect of its offerings as Senior Vice President and Product Owner of Landside Solutions. eModal has recently launched a new platform, hosting both eModal and third-party applications, that streamlines the experience of dray fleets and truck operators servicing container terminals, and includes street-level visibility and equipment management.

“eModal exists to remove friction at every point of intermodal equipment interchange. We are focused on accelerating the movement of laden containers and optimizing the use of intermodal equipment, including empties and chassis,” said Advent eModal Chief Operating Officer Dennis Monts. “Access to low-cost SaaS technology that offers port-and-rail dray carrier efficiency, as well as landside container visibility, is a major building block to the competitiveness and profitability of the overall industry.”

Hamilton Caster Appoints Andrew D. Stamp as Director of Sales

Hamilton Caster Appoints Andrew D. Stamp as Director of Sales

Hamilton Caster & Mfg. Co., a 117-year-old industry leader in heavy-duty industrial casters, proudly announces the enhancement of its legacy Super Endurance Caster (SEC) series, now rebranded as the Spinfinity® Super Endurance Caster (ZFSEC) series. In addition, Hamilton is introducing the all-new Spinfinity® Super Endurance Dual Caster (ZFSEC2) series, both of which feature a new heavy-duty 'V-Style' seal designed to elevate performance in the most demanding environments.
The Spinfinity® Super Endurance Caster (ZFSEC) series replaces Hamilton’s legacy SEC series, setting a new benchmark for kingpinless caster design in extra heavy-duty applications. Central to this upgrade is the heavy-duty 'V-Style' seal, which offers protection against dirt, debris, and moisture. This advanced sealing technology ensures consistent performance and extends the life of the caster, making it the ideal choice for environments where reliability is critical.
"With the introduction of the V-Style seal, the ZFSEC series is engineered to withstand the harshest conditions while providing zero-fix, 100% maintenance-free operation," said Mark Lippert, president of Hamilton Caster. "This enhancement allows our customers to minimize maintenance costs and downtime, further solidifying Hamilton’s reputation for durability and dependability."
The ZFSEC series retains the robust construction that Hamilton is known for, including a swivel top plate and inner raceway made from forged steel, providing superior strength for shock conditions. Sealed precision ball bearings are also now standard in all wheels, contributing to the maintenance-free performance of the series. Notably, the zerk fittings have been eliminated, as the new design makes them unnecessary.
Complementing the ZFSEC series, Hamilton introduces the all-new Spinfinity® Super Endurance Dual Wheel Caster (ZFSEC2) series. This dual wheel series is engineered for extra heavy-duty applications where stability, durability, and maintenance-free operation are paramount. Like its counterpart, the ZFSEC2 series leverages the new 'V-Style' seal, ensuring that each caster is fully protected against contaminants that could compromise performance.
Combined with sealed precision ball wheel bearings, this caster series ensures zero-fix, 100% maintenance-free performance. The dual-wheel configuration enhances stability and allows for a lower overall height, offering a perfect blend of strength and maneuverability.
Casters in both series are finished in a durable HAA polyester platinum powder coat and are available in a wide variety of wheel types, allowing for customization based on application needs.

New Horizon Releases Innovative Functionality for Optimizing Inbound Logistics Scheduling at DCs

ACTON, Massachusetts – September 3, 2024 – New Horizon Soft, LLC (https://www.newhorizon.ai), a global leader in AI-powered supply chain planning software, announced today the release of a new version of its Buyers Workbench procurement planning software. The latest version includes the ability to optimally schedule inbound deliveries, taking into account distribution center (DC) receiving capacity, thus minimizing receiving bottlenecks and lowering inbound logistics costs. A research paper describing the innovative methodology and its deployment at an iconic $10B+ U.S. quick-service restaurant chain was recently published in the peer-reviewed academic journal, the International Journal of Operations Research and Information Systems.

Supply chain organizations typically plan purchase orders without regard to DC receiving capacity. This leads to bottlenecks on some days and underutilized staff on others. New Horizon’s methodology, called Master Purchasing Receipt Scheduling (MPRS), uses a novel algorithm to automatically and optimally schedule deliveries. The algorithm plans deliveries at the time of purchase order creation and results in a steady volume of deliveries and lower planning and logistics costs. While first deployed at a restaurant chain, the methodology is applicable to any manufacturer, wholesaler, retailer, or foodservice company operating high-velocity DCs.
