Once again this year, the eye-catching Linde Material Handling stand in Hall 10 at LogiMAT will feature numerous products and solutions making their debut at the trade fair in Stuttgart. These include the Linde E and Xi electric counterbalanced trucks with a load capacity of up to 2 tons. With a total of 26 models, these trucks offer state-of-the-art performance and ergonomics. The exhibition also highlights the company’s commitment to automation. This year, the solution provider is again significantly expanding its portfolio with a total of five new Linde MATIC models. The MATIC:move software, which has been designed to facilitate the planning, commissioning, maintenance and servicing of automated vehicles, will also be on display. Last but not least, the cloud-based myLinde customer portal will go live in time for LogiMAT. This portal offers a comprehensive suite of software solutions, including the Linde connect fleet management system, the Linde Safety Guard assistance system and the battery charge management application Linde connect:charger, all accessible through a single interface for seamless management and control.

The centrally located stand in Hall 10, which has grown to 612 square meters (stand numbers B21, B17 and C38), is complemented by two additional outdoor areas that have become well established in recent years and are directly adjacent to the hall. In the loading yard between Halls 8 and 10, just a few steps away, visitors can test various forklift models for themselves and receive individual demonstrations. This year, the focus will be on the new three- and four-wheel electric forklifts. Another “touch and feel” exhibition area for the vehicles, complete with expert advice, is located in the exhibition park between Halls 9 and 10.

“These three exhibition areas offer visitors the opportunity to obtain comprehensive information and advice on what Linde MH has to offer. Throughout the event, experts will be on hand to answer questions and discuss solutions to intralogistics challenges,” says Dr. Monika Laurent-Junge, Senior Director Marketing and Brand Communications at Linde MH. ”Linde MH covers the entire spectrum, from manual to automated industrial trucks, software solutions and product-related services. Other focus topics include safety and energy solutions.”

The new Linde E and Xi electric counterbalanced forklift trucks, with load capacities ranging from 1.0 to 2.0 tons, are the focus of the exhibition and set a new standard in the industry in terms of performance, ergonomics and compact design. The wide range of models ensures that there is a perfect match for a wide range of customer requirements. The Linde Xi10 to Xi20 models feature an integrated 90-volt lithium-ion battery and a synchronous reluctance motor for high acceleration and fast lifting/lowering speeds. The Linde E14 to E20 models offer versatility, allowing operators to switch between lead-acid and lithium-ion batteries or continue to use existing batteries using the plug-and-play principle.

“The demand for automated solutions from Linde MH has increased significantly over the past year. New truck models and the MATIC:move software make it even easier and more cost-effective to get started with automation. At the same time, Linde MH also offers options for mapping complex material flow processes.

Linde Experience Hub at HQ

Manhattan Associates Inc. has announced its findings from a new study revealing that British consumers are expected to return £1.5 billion worth of unwanted Christmas gifts this year, highlighting the significant logistical and financial challenges facing retailers in the post-holiday period. Managing this deluge of returns efficiently and effectively is critical to maintaining both profitability and customer satisfaction.

From wrapping to returns: the journey of unwanted gifts

Unwanted gifts start with good intentions but miss the mark. From ill-fitting clothing to duplicate gadgets, gift returns initiate a complex reverse logistics process, with an estimated 67 million presents expected to be returned this year. This puts immense pressure on retailers, warns Craig Summers, VP Northern Europe & MEA at Manhattan Associates. “Efficient returns management is vital during peak holiday season as businesses balance the need for streamlined processes with maintaining customer satisfaction.”

The research found that:

· Almost 23% of Brits exchange unwanted gifts for something else
· 21% donate unwanted gifts to charity shops
· 19% regift unwanted presents to new recipients
· 17% store unwanted gifts away, often in cupboards
· 12% return unwanted gifts for a full refund
· The most common Christmas gifts returned include clothing (42% of consumers have returned), shoes/footwear (21%), cosmetics (16%) and jewelry or watches (15%)

The returns challenge: why are shoppers so frustrated?

The returns process is a common source of frustration for consumers, with 39% citing long refund waits and 33% pointing to unclear policies as major pain points. These issues have real consequences for brands, with 40% of consumers saying they would avoid a retailer after a difficult returns process. “A seamless and customer-centric return experience is essential for building trust and fostering long-term relationships,” adds Summers.

This challenge is particularly pronounced among Gen Z shoppers, who returned gifts at a much higher rate (65%) last year than their older counterparts (19%) among those aged 65+. Given Gen Z’s focus on sustainability, brands face additional pressure to not only streamline their returns, but also minimise the environmental impact of the process too.

A balancing act for retailers

Retailers are walking a tightrope. They need to meet customer expectations for easy returns while also managing the significant logistics of processing millions of items which erodes valuable bottom-line profits. As Summers explains, “investing in solutions such as robust reverse logistics and AI-powered customer service, coupled with clear communication and efficient processes, is crucial for retailers navigating this challenge effectively.

“There’s more to returns than software and pound signs though. Retailers need to also consider the emotional aspect of returns. Customers often feel awkward or disappointed when returning gifts, and a smooth, empathetic process can make all the difference in maintaining loyalty and a positive brand experience.”

Study highlights consumer concerns over Christmas gift deliveries

Professionals working in the logistics and supply chain industry understand how important it is to reduce downtime in logistics and avoid idling workers so you don’t miss deadlines and frustrate your customers. They realize the critical role of preventative maintenance in keeping their operations moving smoothly and predictably. Accordingly, logistics professionals will want their maintenance team to work more proactively, rather than merely reacting to problems that occur randomly. This is especially the case in transportation where you must ensure the reliable functioning of vital equipment such as diesel engines. 

Benefits of a Proactive Maintenance Approach 

Adopting a proactive approach to maintenance instead of reacting means you can keep your valuable diesel equipment working longer, reducing the cost of ownership. Planned preventative maintenance makes repairs less expensive than urgent repair jobs that occur after engine failure. 

Practical Tips on Developing Effective Maintenance Schedules 

Make sure you have sufficient replacement parts and tools to support maintenance 

Examine your records to verify you’re keeping enough items in stock to support routine maintenance. If a manufacturer designates a part as needing to be replaced once every nine months but you have been swapping it out twice a year, you are wasting resources that you’ll need to replenish more often. It also takes time to restock these expensive parts more often than needed, which is money better spent elsewhere. 

Take a data-driven approach 

Gather and analyze data from your preventative maintenance activities so you can make better decisions about when it’s best to repair diesel equipment or when it’s time to replace it. Such information helps you optimize your maintenance schedule as you lubricate parts according to schedule or replace items before they’re expected to fail. 

Use advanced technologies 

Researching the latest and most advanced technologies can help your maintenance team work more effectively. For example, using a TEXA diagnostic kit gives you the same capability as a diesel engine dealer so you can take better care of your equipment. An advanced diagnostic kit gives you all the relevant information for diesel vehicle maintenance and repairs to detect issues, such as in engines, ABS systems and transmissions. 

The software enables you to issue DPF and SCR commands and conduct injector programming and resets to ensure that equipment functions at its best. 

Train your staff 

Give your staff the tools they need for success during the onboarding process of new recruits as well as in your ongoing educational efforts. You’ll train them to identify and address potential issues before they escalate into major breakdowns that would cost much more time, resources and money. Catastrophic breakdowns that shut down your supply chain until you fix the problem will cut your bottom line as well as endanger your reputation for providing consistent, on-time deliveries. 

Outsource your preventative maintenance program 

If you have been experiencing local labor shortages or higher-than-usual turnover in your maintenance crew, it might be time to consider outsourcing your company’s preventative maintenance efforts. Doing so enables you to focus on your company’s core capabilities while gaining the peace of mind that comes from knowing dedicated diesel maintenance experts are looking after your equipment on an ongoing basis. 

Preventative Maintenance Helps You Avoid Unplanned Downtime of Essential Transportation Equipment 

Savvy logistics professionals will establish or improve their maintenance schedules so they can work proactively to prevent major issues developing in their diesel engines and other crucial pieces of equipment. To that end, it’s prudent to use modern diagnostic software and hardware systems to keep watch over the state of the diesel engines your organization relies on. 

Staying updated on industry best practices, being aware of the latest technologies and providing ongoing training to your maintenance team will help you avoid unplanned downtime. Not only does this prevent work stoppages, but also it helps improve your bottom line since catching problems earlier makes it less expensive to maintain or repair components instead of having to outright replace them.

How Data-Driven Maintenance Transforms Materials Handling

Brady Corporation offers a new, more cost-efficient solution to quickly detect unstable Li-ion batteries in storage. Able to automatically measure 0,5°C temperature differences per second, the solution provides the accuracy and speed needed to isolate unstable batteries before they become a safety risk.

Fast and accurate

Brady´s new battery temperature monitoring solution involves 3 components: self-adhesive battery-free UHF RFID labels with embedded temperature sensors, RFID readers with up to 16 antennas, and a customisable RFID software platform.

The self-adhesive UHF RFID-embedded labels can be applied inside battery cell boxes for fast temperature change detection. Alternatively, every battery cell can be labelled with Brady´s on-metal, printable UHF RFID labels to enable more elaborate advantages in Li-ion battery supply chains. Every second, the RFID antennas and readers automatically power all labels and sensors in range to collect temperature readings with 0,5°C accuracy. Every temperature reading, and matching battery storage location, is collected by the RFID software platform. When customisable temperature thresholds are reached, the software platform triggers 3rd party devices via standard API.

With almost continuous, automated and accurate temperature monitoring, warehouse stakeholders can receive early warnings via sms, email or even racking warning lights. They can be guided in time to specific warehouse locations for unstable Li-ion battery isolation. Alternatively, Brady´s software platform API can also trigger an autonomous vehicle to automatically remove an unstable battery.

Cost-effective

Battery-free UHF RFID labels with embedded sensors are a more cost-effective battery temperature monitoring solution than powered RFID tags or IR cameras. UHF RFID labels and their temperature sensors receive power wirelessly from RFID antennas and readers in range. They are available at significantly lower costs – up to 5 times less than battery-powered RFID tags – and do not require maintenance.

The number of RFID readers needed to completely cover storage locations in a warehouse heavily depends on warehouse setup, racking height and storage volume per racking compartment. Brady can connect up to 16 antennas to a single RFID reader that provides high accuracy, high speed temperature monitoring for all storage locations in 12 metre wide and 4 metre high racking.

The automated, and almost continuous, nature of the temperature monitoring solution enables Li-ion battery manufacturers and logistics companies to significantly increase safety and reduce risk at advantageous costs.

Automated inventories

By adding an RFID reader gate at designated warehouse exits, Brady´s solution can also enable automated, real-time warehouse inventories. RFID labelled items are read by Brady´s RFID readers the moment their label enters reader range. When they pass through a designated RFID reader gate, these items can easily be subtracted from the inventory by the RFID software platform.

When used in this way, the solution can provide cost-effective battery track & trace inside the warehouse from entry to exit, complete with battery cell box or battery cell temperature fluctuation in between.

DENSO: Why RFID is the future

Customer focus obsession drives business growth, writes Erik Stadigh, co-founder and CEO of carbon credit innovators, Lune. Businesses exist to solve their customers’ problems and, by doing so better than their competition, they win. We build a deep understanding of our customers, their behaviours, their needs, and their pain points. And we get out of bed in the morning to solve these pain points through innovative products and services.

Yet, when it comes to sustainability, we immediately turn inward. The focus becomes all about internal metrics: our own carbon footprint, our own net zero targets, our own ESG scores. While these are of course crucial, they’re one component of a much bigger equation. We are staring at the forest so intently, that we are completely blind to the trees.

Here’s why: the most powerful climate actions aren’t found by looking inward – they’re found by looking outward, at your customers.

Harnessing The Multiplier Effect

When a business helps its customers reduce their carbon footprint, the impact multiplies exponentially. A single logistics company might help thousands of businesses optimise their supply chains to drastically reduce emissions. A business spend management platform might help thousands of businesses optimise procurement and business spend to slash emissions.

This is the multiplier effect in action. Instead of focusing solely on reducing your own emissions – which might be in the thousands of tonnes CO2 – you can help reduce millions of tonnes CO2 by enabling your customers’ climate journey.

From Net Zero to Net Positive

Our goal is to reach global net zero (and eventually go beyond). There are many paths to get there but for companies to only focus on internal net zero targets is definitely not the fastest path.

The math is simple but powerful. Let’s say your business emits 50,000 tCO2 annually. You could spend years trying to reduce this to 25,000 tCO2 or potentially even to 10,000 tCO2. Or, you could do both: work on your internal reductions while helping your customers avoid or reduce hundreds of thousands tCO2, potentially even millions tCO2!

This isn’t about choosing one over the other. It’s about recognising where your impact can be greatest.
The Business Case is Clear

As with solving any customer problems better than your competition, it’s just good business. Companies that help their customers achieve their sustainability goals aren’t just doing good – they’re building competitive advantages:

– New revenue streams emerge from sustainability-focused products and services
– Customer loyalty increases when you help solve their sustainability challenges
– Brand value grows as you become known as a sustainability leader
– Market share expands as sustainability becomes a key differentiator

This is not some fairy tale, it’s already a reality. JAS Worldwide, a leading freight forwarder, has won several large RFPs thanks to their Green Solutions. They help their customers reduce their carbon footprint through consulting, monitoring, and implementing emission reduction solutions.

By taking a consultative approach and tailoring sustainability to their customers needs, the sustainable choice becomes the easy choice. For example, JAS Worldwide chose Lune as their carbon offsetting partner so their customers could fund the projects that aligned the most with their business goals, without compromising on quality. They can be confident their sustainable choices are having a positive impact on the planet.

How to put your customers at the centre of your sustainability strategy

Innovators know progress is never a straightforward process. But we can begin with a map:

1. Understand your customers’ pain points
Start by truly understanding your customers’ sustainability pain points. What are their emissions sources? What are their reduction targets? What’s holding them back? How much are they spending on expensive consultants today?

2. Innovate for impact
Develop products and services that directly address these challenges. This could mean adding carbon footprint insights to your existing products, helping your customers to make carbon-based decisions, or giving green rewards to customers.

3. Make sustainability the default
Use technology and automation to make sustainable choices easier, accessible, and the default. To maximise the positive impact, and allow them to “opt-out” if they don’t want it.

4. Measure and celebrate customer impact
Track not just your own emissions, but the emissions you help your customers avoid or reduce. This is your true climate impact and should be celebrated!

The Road after COP29

As we come out of COP29, it’s clear that business as usual won’t get us to global net zero. We need a fundamental shift in how we think about corporate climate action. The companies that lead this new era aren’t just those with the smallest carbon footprints. They’re the ones that help their entire ecosystem – customers, suppliers, and communities – accelerate toward a sustainable future.

The future of corporate sustainability isn’t about just getting to net zero individually – it’s about solving problems to get to a global net zero. By looking beyond our own operations and enabling our customers’ climate journey, we create the exponential change our planet needs. And capture the business benefits while we do so. Obsess about your customers and the planet will thank you!
