Panel Built, Inc. Prepares Modular Solutions to Combat Heat Stress

Blairsville, Georgia - With the Department of Labor proposing a new rule to help reduce the number of heat-stress-related incidents, it's clear that cooling solutions are needed on job sites now more than ever. Considering this issue, Panel Built Inc. has announced its commitment to providing effective prefabricated cooling solutions for indoor and outdoor work.

Panel Built offers multiple stand-alone structures that can help mitigate heat stress, including:


Cool Down Booths: These climate-controlled booths reduce the risk of heat-related illnesses for high-temperature occupations like construction and welding. Customizable for indoor and outdoor use, they ensure maximum comfort and safety.  

Control Booths: These booths provide secure, climate-controlled spaces, protecting personnel and sensitive equipment from extreme temperatures with robust wall systems and HVAC options.

Canopies: Canopies offer shape and sun protection, reducing outdoor workers' heat risks.

Vestibules: Enhancing security and airflow control, prefabricated entry vestibules help maintain cool air inside buildings, ideal for high-traffic areas.

Cooling solutions are not exclusive to these buildings; any Panel Built structure can be equipped with improvements to control temperature, such as:

HVAC Systems: Modular buildings come with various HVAC options tailored to specific cooling needs, ensuring a comfortable interior environment for employees and equipment.

Panel Insulation: Enhanced insulation uses polystyrene and wool to maintain consistent internal temperatures, improving comfort and energy efficiency.

With these solutions, Panel Built aims to tackle heat stress and prepare for the enhanced regulation of occupational safety.

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

ACTON, Massachusetts – September 3, 2024 – New Horizon Soft, LLC, 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.
