 Five Ways
to Increase the Life of Your Thermal Printer
by Paul Trumm, Electronic Repair Technician
Your thermal label printers represent a
significant investment in operations and productivity. Therefore, it makes
sense to keep your printers running in top form. A poorly maintained thermal
printer slows production, creates shipping and receiving errors and
increases the total long term cost of your printer investment. A well
maintained printer will decrease lost production time for repairs, produce
clean crisp bar codes and text, increase bar code read reliability and
decrease total cost of ownership for your printer investment

 OpenWMS
Expands Food Bank’s Reach
by
Mike Kapp, VP Marketing &
Product Management
As the economic crisis continues to unfold, the number of New York City
residents struggling to afford food for themselves and their families has
climbed to a staggering 4 million.
Striving to address this issue, the Food Bank of New York City procures
and distributes millions of pounds of food annually through a network of
more than 1,100 food assistance programs citywide. The hub of the operation
is the Food Bank's 100,000 square foot warehouse in the Bronx. To manage the
warehouse activity and support the Food Bank's expected growth, Control
Solutions installed its
OpenWMS®
system.
According to Dan Wilkerson, Control Solutions' vice president of
engineering, "The OpenWMS installation has been critical to supporting the
Food Bank's rapid growth over the past few years. We have continued to
modify the system with business logic changes and other enhancements as
required by the Food Bank. Most recently, we assisted them in upgrading
their server to support their anticipated growth needs based on the current
economic conditions."
The ongoing relationship between the team at Control Solutions and the
Food Bank of New York City is typical of the long term and mutually
beneficial partnerships that Control Solutions seeks with its customers.
