Happy New Year. As we welcome the new year, many may reflect on what the COVID-19 pandemic was, with thoughts of vaccine distribution, remote work, and stay-at-home consumption. Amidst this, the curtain rises on 2024. This year, the logistics industry will face a new pandemic: the "2024 Problem." With regulations on truck drivers' working hours, we will confront unprecedented challenges such as driver shortages, reduced driving distances, restrictions on drivers' non-driving duties, and a lack of relay bases. "Empowering Logistics" We will seriously consider and tackle these challenges in the industry to be of help, even in a small way. Thank you for your continued support this year.

Many people are considering incorporating automation and labor-saving measures in warehouses due to labor shortages and lack of storage space. However, many may be unsure about which equipment is suitable for their specific site. At JALOC, we are developing automated warehouses aimed at storage types that hold large quantities of the same products, such as food and beverages (DC type and stockpiling type). Not only can you utilize the upper space, but automation also shortens the inbound and outbound operations, leading to speedy deliveries. This is also effective in addressing the upcoming 2024 issue. We have published a page and materials summarizing our improvement proposals, so please take a look.

When storing tires, what shape do you use for storage? Storing them directly on the ground is not recommended, and even if you introduce a rack, the circumstances vary by site, with some preferring "a form that allows for large storage" or "needed only during specific times." At JALOCK, we can propose the optimal tire rack tailored to your site. We have summarized which racks are suitable for your tire storage in the column below, so please take a look. If you have any concerns, feel free to contact us.

The labor hour restrictions for truck drivers due to the 2024 issue, along with the rapid increase in delivery needs resulting from the expansion of e-commerce sites, have exacerbated the labor shortage problem. As a result, there is a growing demand for the automation of inbound and outbound operations, but the suitable automated warehouses vary depending on the storage operation type, budget, and scale. In this article, we will introduce two automation solutions that are effective in reducing manpower in stock-type warehouses. We hope you take this opportunity to take a look!

- I want to increase the storage capacity while keeping the current space. - The ceiling height is low and limited. - I want to use a mobile rack that does not require electricity. For such situations, we recommend the "manual mobile rack." It can save aisle space between racks and increase storage capacity, and since it does not use electricity, it can operate during power outages or disasters. We can assist from the design and layout stage, allowing for efficient rack installation. We offer both a slide-type that can be easily moved by hand and a handle-type for heavy items. For more details, please download the catalog or contact us.

Recently, the demand for electric pallet jacks (hand pallet trucks), which have lower initial costs compared to forklifts, has been increasing. Since no operating qualifications are required, they can be easily handled by women and the elderly, and in the case of ride-on models, travel time can also be reduced. In the column below, we explain the benefits of introducing electric pallet jacks and our BYD low lift equipped with BYD's lithium battery. Why not achieve work improvement, time savings, and a solution to labor shortages all at once? Please take a look at this opportunity!
