Signode Launches New BPT Steel Strapping Hand Tool

Tampa, FL (April 20, 2022)-- Signode, the leading global manufacturer of a broad spectrum of automated packaging equipment, tools, and consumables, has launched its new BPT Steel Strapping Tool.


Featuring a balanced and lightweight design, the battery-operated tool is ideal for a wide range of steel strapping applications, including heavy-duty stationary or mobile applications requiring high tension force. BPT has up to 500 cycles per battery charge, allowing seamless and continuous operation with full mobility throughout the plant, not restricted by the reach of air hoses or air quality.

“The BPT is the latest example of Signode’s Innovation in Action approach,” says Ralph Kieffer, Director of Global Market Development at Signode. “We listened to what our global customers were looking for in a mobile steel strapping tool, and that important input really guided our design and development process.”

The new tool boasts high performance battery and brushless motor technology, providing electronically controlled and reproducible strapping processes. Intelligent features include real time indication of the strapping status and visual and acoustic signals.

The BPT tools have an intuitive touchscreen user interface and allow a quick and comfortable adjustment of the strapping parameters depending on the package and even offer selectable manual, semi or fully automatic operation modes, and a favorite setting.

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.
