WHAT'S NEW - From the NA08 Material Handling Show
***FleetControl™ Manager Monitors Forklifts, Increases ROI on Vehicle-mounted Computers***
DALLAS, TX: For forklifts and other warehouse trucks utilizing vehicle-mounted computers (VMC), ShockWatch uses the onboard computer to deliver its new FleetControl™ Manager. It enables an enterprise to optimize its VMC investment by integrating with and utilizing the power of the computer's processing, touch screen, AC power supply and wireless communications capabilities. Using the VMC touch screen, FleetControl Manager enables operators to gain access and operate the lift, complete the pre-shift OSHA safety checklist and send and receive messages with others in the warehouse, including warehouse managers. With a thorough understanding of the warehouse environment, ShockWatch has designed FleetControl Manager's graphical user interface (GUI) on the VMC to eliminate the need for a separate display unit that requires additional space on a forklift dashboard and may restrict operator view. Additionally, the GUI features large on-screen buttons and easy-to-read text, providing a user-friendly functionality that enables operators to keep their work gloves and safety glasses on. ---Shockwatch
***Large Character Ink Jet Printer***

INDUSTRY TRENDS
***Keep Employees Engaged During Layoffs*** "When companies announce layoffs, it causes stress that affects employee engagement. To keep employee morale up during layoffs, businesses need to start by meeting with staff to make it known that layoffs were the last option and offer the other cost-cutting measures that have been taken, says Keith Ayers, author of “Engagement is Not Enough.” “This openness with employees helps retain the trust that companies have built with workers while, at the same time, treating them with dignity. This needs to be furthered by including employee representatives in the layoff process and offering released workers with a fair compensation package."
