Yale Materials Handling Corp. debuts Yale A-Ware
<![CDATA[

Yale Materials Handling Corp., Greenville, North Carolina, has released Yale A-Ware, a location-based truck performance control solution that uses radio frequency identification (RFID) tags to enforce travel speed, acceleration and lift restrictions. At MODEX Booth No. 3147, April 4-7 in Atlanta, attendees could view Yale A-Ware in action to see how it can help increase throughput, safety and equipment life.

Yale A-Ware uses RFID tags deployed in warehouse storage aisles that are read by a truck-mounted RFID sensor. When the sensor reads a tag, it automatically triggers traction and lift settings to allow the truck to only operate at predefined speeds, heights and other operational parameters. This permits the operator to pay more attention to operational tasks and protects trucks and facility infrastructure.

“Yale A-Ware allows operations to control very narrow aisle truck speed and max lift height anywhere in any storage aisle, freeing the operator to focus on getting the job done right,” said Lou Micheletto, Manager, Integrated Solutions, Yale. “Operations can use this technology for a competitive advantage, enabling them to reach new levels of labor efficiency and equipment performance.”

In addition to travel and lift height restrictions, Yale A-Ware can adjust to handle the nuances of each aisle, with multizone functionality to identify high traffic areas and automatically detect dead-ends, reducing the risk of collisions and decreasing operational downtime. The RFID tags also offer faster installation at reduced cost compared to magnets, and they cannot be covered up, ensuring maximum reliability, the company says.

Yale Materials Handling Corp. markets a full line of materials handling lift truck products and services, including electric, gas, LP-gas and diesel powered lift trucks; narrow aisle, very narrow aisle and motorized hand trucks. Yale has a comprehensive service offering including Yale Vision wireless asset management, fleet management, Yale service, parts, financing and training. Yale trucks are manufactured in an ISO 9001:2008 registered facility and range in capacity from 2,000 to 36,000 pounds.

Yale Materials Handling Corp. is a division of Hyster-Yale Group, a wholly owned subsidiary of Hyster-Yale Materials Handling Inc., headquartered in Cleveland.
