The
Tompkins’ Emerging Technology Center (ETC) is preparing for some special
visitors over the next couple of months.
In April,
we have groups coming from the NASSTRAC Logistics
Conference & Expo. And in May, a tour of the ETC is planned during WERC’s 2011 Conference.
So what is
the ETC all about, you may be asking? It is a unique facility in Orlando, Florida,
not far from Mickey Mouse’s house in Disney World. It lets companies take
advantage of a fully functional, automated warehouse so that they can test live
solutions while maintaining ongoing operations. It includes:
- Integration and testing: Compare and evaluate
equipment and compatibility before implementation.
- Technology evaluation: See how material handling
modules, subassemblies and software work together before installation.
- Employee training: Train employees in a live, hands-on
environment for realistic operations and maintenance instruction.
At the
ETC, it’s easy to see firsthand how integrated equipment, technology, training
and support all coordinate to keep supply chains running smoothly.
What
technologies or equipment would you like to see in action at this facility? You
have an open invitation to visit. Give the ETC staff a call at 407-362-0362,
or 407-362-0383, or send an e-mail to ETC@tompkinsinc.com.
Go!Go!Go!
