					<description><![CDATA[<p>Python® DynamiQ was developed to address a clear market gap, particularly for construction cranes operating under extreme loads and lifting heights, where traditional rotation-resistant ropes often fall short. It is designed to be a true all-around hoist rope across crawler cranes, tower cranes, and mobile cranes. The benefit of engineering for extreme conditions is that those same advantages carry over into less demanding applications. Mississauga-based Unirope is a specialist in the manufacture, distribution, testing, certification, and inspection of high-performance wire rope and rigging products. It has additional facilities in Quebec and Alberta; the three sites combine to deliver a service nationwide and to select customers in the U.S. and Europe. DynamiQ is part of the company’s Python® high-performance wire rope family, manufactured in Germany with over a century of wire rope expertise behind it. The key distinction is in the construction. DynamiQ uses a familiar 16-strand compacted outer layer combined with a more robust core and delivers superior torque balance and structural stability. This design minimizes internal movement, reduces stress concentrations, and significantly improves performance under load compared to traditional 35&#215;7 constructions. DynamiQ is suitable for both single-fall and multi-fall reeving, performing extremely well in both configurations. In single-fall applications, it works effectively with swivels and resists rotation. In multi-fall setups, it maintains stability and minimizes issues like block twisting and rope waviness. Higher level of performance Justin Brown, president at Unirope, said: “DynamiQ allows us to bring a higher level of performance to Canadian crane operators, especially in particularly challenging sectors, where demands continue to increase. It gives our customers access to one of the most advanced non-rotating ropes available globally, backed by local expertise and support. This equates to more uptime, longer service life, and more confidence in critical lifts. “Just as importantly, it means they’re supported by a Canadian partner who understands their applications and can respond quickly with inventory, technical guidance, and service. We don’t just supply rope; we help customers select the right solution, optimize performance, and solve problems in the field. With DynamiQ, we’re pairing a premium product with a service model that’s been trusted across Canada for decades.” Torque control is another of DynamiQ’s strongest advantages. The rope is engineered to maintain excellent balance under varying load conditions, which reduces rotation, block spin, and line instability, especially critical at high lifting heights or in single-fall applications. It also addresses multi-layer spooling, which introduces crushing, abrasion, and deformation. DynamiQ is designed with high lateral stability and resistance to ovalization and diameter reduction under load. This allows it to maintain its shape and integrity across multiple layers, significantly improving service life on modern crane drums. Brown added: “In testing, DynamiQ shows up to a 10% increase in breaking strength and up to a 20% improvement in bending fatigue life. That translates directly into longer rope life, fewer changeouts, and more predictable performance. “Unirope has been a leader in the Canadian wire rope market since 1956. Over that time, we’ve built our reputation on quality, technical expertise, and understanding real-world applications. DynamiQ continues that approach by bringing the latest global innovation to Canadian customers, backed by local knowledge and service. The message is simple: performance matters. As lifting applications become more demanding, the rope can’t be the weak link. DynamiQ represents a step forward in performance and Unirope’s commitment to bringing that level of innovation to the Canadian market.”</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>RiConnect Inc.’s Digital Product Passport (DPP)-Ready Pack is driving uptake of DPPs ahead of the European Union (EU) Battery Regulation making securely recorded information across a product’s lifecycle mandatory from February next year. It is the latest regulatory framework to accelerate change. The central benefit of a tool being equipped with a DPP is that it means product information, inspection reports, and usage history can be tracked, making maintenance and examination easier. The Battery Regulation (effective 18 February 2027) will reshape how batteries are designed, manufactured, used, and recycled across Europe, and the Battery Passport is a key feature. Digital chips and identification technologies are central to RiConnect’s cloud-based Software as a Service (SaaS) offering. The company is dedicated to simplifying and digitalising the processes around compliance and traceability, as regulatory frameworks, such as the EU Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) and Battery Regulation (2023/1542), transform equipment ownership and use. More broadly, new regulatory frameworks are enforcing greater conformity across diverse sectors, including textiles, chemicals, steel, aluminium, tyres and furniture. Steven Hong, president at RiConnect, said: “For critical asset industries, DPPs serve as a platform for providing key information, including inspection reports and usage history. However, beyond the regulatory frameworks, the RiConnect DPP and associated module can help industry provide important digital documentation and equipment identification to supply chains. RiConnect is redefining what compliance means, from a regulatory requirement to a source of long-term advantage for industries that cannot afford to fail.” The DPP-Ready Pack makes transition to digital passports easier than ever before, and centres on breaking down three common barriers to entry in that it requires no IT involvement; no system migration; and no training to use. In other words, adopting DPPs is simple and accessible, eliminating concerns about digital transformation and encouraging industry away from a wait-and-see approach before regulations become mandatory. Digital chips and identification technologies within the RiConnect ecosystem support multiple identification methods, including radio frequency identification (RFID), QR codes, and barcodes. These technologies enable physical assets to be uniquely identified and connected to digital records managed through the RiConnect DPP platform, ensuring traceability, compliance visibility, and lifecycle documentation. Having pioneered the utilisation of RFID chips, RiConnect enables end users of battery, lifting and other equipment to maintain pre-use checks and unique equipment identification. Hong added: “It’s somewhat inaccurate to say that organisations are underprepared for the Battery Regulation because they’re ignoring it as, much like the ESPR, they’re not fully equipped because these frameworks expose shortcomings in digital recorded keeping, requiring systems and lifecycle documentation that they’ve never had to build before. Now is the time to alleviate regulatory pressures, and make audit challenges, poor traceability, and scattered documents problems of the past.” With the EU Battery Regulation (2023/1542) looming large, the real challenge is no longer awareness but action, separating those who can translate complexity into capability from those who risk being left behind.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>The rapid growth of e-commerce is transforming the organization of logistics centers. The increase in shipping volumes, the progressive fragmentation of orders and the demand for more sustainable packaging are imposing new standards of flexibility and control on warehouses. Coesia responds to this need with an integrated portfolio covering packaging, handling, and palletizing, positioning itself as a technology partner capable of operating consistently across the entire order fulfillment flow. “E-commerce has transformed the warehouse into an environment where every order is a case of its own. Different products, different formats, different timing, and the constant need to optimize every phase,” says Alessandro Parimbelli, CEO of Coesia. “The solutions we bring to LogiMAT come from this context: automation that adapts to the real flow of operations, not the other way around. Every shipment with empty space is a cost that someone ultimately pays — whether the manufacturer, the distributor or the planet. Our goal is to eliminate such costs through packaging that adapts to the product and delivers measurable results from the very day one. Our approach brings together the key elements of mechanical automation, digital integration and modular architecture. In this way, customers can configure lines that closely match their processes, improving operational efficiency and optimizing the use of packaging materials.” According to recent market analyses, the global market for automated e-commerce packaging solutions is expected to grow at a compound annual rate of over 16% in the next five years, driven by the need to reduce operating costs, increase fulfillment speed and optimize shipping volumes. Warehouses must be able to handle heterogeneous products in terms of size and characteristics while maintaining high standards for traceability, accuracy and speed in order preparation. Automation therefore represents a decisive factor in ensuring operational continuity, cost control and service quality.* System Digital – SELECTA SELECTA is System Digital’s solution — a Coesia Group company — for the automated handling of pre-formed paper bags in e-commerce fulfillment. The system is designed to eliminate one of the most common bottlenecks in packaging operations: the manual selection of the most suitable format for the product. Once it receives the dimensional data of the product from the customer’s management system or through direct acquisition via incoming scanning, SELECTA automatically selects the correct bag among the formats available in stock. The bag is then picked, opened and presented to the operator in an ergonomic position for quick loading. Once the product is inserted, the system performs the sealing, applies the shipping label and transfers the package to the outgoing line, ready for logistics. The result is a faster, more precise and more sustainable process. Packaging calibrated to the product means less material used, reduced shipping volumes and a customer experience cared for down to the last detail. SELECTA manages five bag formats — from Small (300×250 mm) to XXL (600×450 mm) — with productivity of up to 530 pieces per hour in a fully automated configuration. SELECTA will be physically displayed at Coesia’s Hall B – Booth B7519 for the entire duration of the exhibition. System Digital – ELEVA ELEVA is System Digital’s modular platform for the automated handling of corrugated cardboard boxes in intralogistics. The system integrates functional modules for box erecting, dynamic height adjustment, closing and labeling. The height-reduction module operates continuously rather than discretely, processing boxes with different bases in sequence without requiring mechanical changeovers between formats. ELEVA reads the height of the inserted product and automatically adjusts the cardboard, eliminating empty space, improving load stability and reducing transport costs. Throughput reaches up to 600 units per hour. The modular architecture is designed to evolve over time, with each module able to be operated independently or integrated into a complete line, allowing the system to be configured according to the available layout and the desired level of automation.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>The Pallet Saver from Broce Manufacturing is a rugged yet elegantly simple forklift attachment that significantly reduces pallet damage, extends pallet life, and lowers pallet repair and replacement costs in manufacturing, warehousing, and other material handling environments. An estimated 500 million pallets are discarded in the United States every year, many due to preventable impact damage from routine forklift handling. The Pallet Saver dramatically reduces impact forces during pallet engagement, resulting in a corresponding reduction in pallet damage. A replaceable rubber impact pad on the Pallet Saver aligns with a pallet’s center strut to absorb and redistribute impact forces from weaker deck boards to the pallet’s stronger center structure—helping prevent breakage and structural failure. Constructed from ½” heavy-duty welded steel, the Pallet Saver is made in the USA and constructed for long-term durability. It mounts easily to ITA Class II or Class III carriages and remains securely in place during normal operation, requiring no change in operator behavior. Four models are available in single- or double-pad configurations. In addition to direct cost savings, reducing pallet breakage also improves workplace safety by minimizing trip hazards from loose boards and debris and reducing downtime caused by manually transferring loads from damaged pallets. “Pallet damage is one of those hidden costs that adds up quickly,” said Broce spokesperson Nate Vance. “With the Pallet Saver, companies can take a simple, proactive step to protect their pallets, reduce waste, and improve overall efficiency.”</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>As facilities face growing challenges posed by aging central vacuum systems, Goodway Technologies is sharing a solution with their Regional Vacuum Systems, a modular, production‑line‑based approach to dust and debris extraction. For decades, facility managers have relied on central vacuum systems that were never designed for today’s production demands. Goodway Technologies was seeing reoccurring issues among customers including suction loss when tubing is extended, clogged lines, operators leaving hoses connected, and entire plants losing vacuum capability when a single central unit goes offline. With the introduction of NFPA 660, which limits vacuum hose length to 25 feet to ensure proper grounding and bonding, many older systems can no longer operate safely or compliantly. “Most of the central vacuum systems we see were installed years ago, and facilities are pushing them far beyond what they were designed for,” said Eric Potorski, Goodway Technologies Industrial Vacuum Specialist. “The Regional Vacuum System was created to give facilities a safer, more reliable, and more scalable alternative.” A Smarter, Modular Alternative to Central Vacuum Systems The Goodway Regional Vacuum System places a heavy-duty industrial vacuum in a strategic location and connects it to piping and vacuum drops throughout the facility. Instead of moving portable vacuums or running long hoses, teams have safe access points exactly where cleanup is needed. A central vacuum system consolidates all vacuuming capability into a single, facility-wide system, while a regional vacuum distribution system can be implemented in a single strategic zone, or multiple regional vacuum systems can be implemented across multiple strategic zones within a facility. The Regional Vacuum System breaks a facility into zones or production lines, each with its own dedicated vacuum source. This approach delivers: Hard tubing for long‑distance conveyance NFPA‑compliant 25’ hose drops Independent suction per system Balanced performance across all lines Scalability as production grows Dedicated hoses and tools per line to reduce cross‑contamination Many facilities are now installing one Regional Vacuum System per production line. For example, one customer deployed three independent systems—each with roughly 100 feet of tubing—to support three separate lines. This configuration enables: Multiple operators per line No suction loss across other lines Continued cleaning even if one system is offline The ability to disconnect and use the vacuum elsewhere when needed Built for Performance, Safety, and Compliance Every Regional Vacuum System is engineered with professionally sized tubing and fittings to ensure performance and NFPA compliance. Components are built using 16‑gauge mechanical tubing and are available in aluminum, zinc‑galvanized, or stainless steel, with smooth‑bore elbows and fittings designed to maximize flow and reduce material build‑up. The Regional Vacuum Systems are compatible with a wide range of Goodway Technologies industrial vacuums. These vacuums extend tubing runs up to 120 feet, support multiple simultaneous operators, and offer optional cyclones or dumping hoppers for increased capacity. The CD-series vacuums offer features that allow safe indoor operation without the need for expensive explosion venting. Operational Value This is more than a vacuum system, it’s an operational strategy. Maintenance on one system no longer shuts down the plant Expansion is modular instead of requiring major infrastructure replacement Capital costs are significantly lower than upgrading a full explosion‑vented central system</p>
