Vanderlande has announced that it has become a supporter of the Platform for Accelerating the Circular Economy (PACE), a public-private collaboration co-chaired by the CEO of Philips, and the heads of the Global Environment Facility and UN Environment. This highlights the importance of the company’s commitment to the principles surrounding this regenerative system as part of its CSR strategy.

Vanderlande will exhibit its next generation of scalable solutions for the e-commerce and fashion markets – evolutions – at LogiMAT 2018. AIRPICK and FASTPICK seamlessly integrate the company’s innovative systems, intelligent software and life-cycle services to create cutting-edge concepts that will support its customers’ operations. The latest solutions have been designed to help warehouses and distribution centres deal with the frequently changing dynamics of their markets.

Vanderlande has joined the Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) and other partners to develop industrial robots that will operate with increased independence and autonomy. The project – called FAST (new Frontiers in Autonomous Systems Technology) – aims to develop mobile robots with increased flexibility, which allows them to function more effectively in environments that undergo frequent change.

The Taoyuan International Airport Corporation (TIAC) has awarded Vanderlande a contract to supply a state-of-the-art baggage handling system (BHS) at its new terminal. In response to the rapid growth in passenger volume, TIAC is constructing Terminal 3 (T3) at Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport (TTIA). This will boost capacity and enhance the overall quality of service. 

As a socially responsible organisation, Vanderlande is continually exploring innovative ways to integrate sustainable practices into our business model. Such opportunities can sometimes come in the most surprising of places and the reimagining of our depreciated baggage carriers proved to be just that.
