CarryMatic Applications – Hands Free Material Movement

Jtec Industries is a locally owned manufacturing company specializing in innovative custom material handling equipment. Providing excellent customer service, quality products, and innovative solutions for the intralogistics industry.

CarryMatic Applications – Hands Free Material Movement

CarryMatic is Jtecs newest and most innovative product line. This automated material movement system consists of powered roller carts, line-side transfer stations, proprietary supervisor software, along with hitch & station controls. They offer single-bay carts that provide tight aisle access while dual-bay carts maximize payloads. Jtec can build this system to meet any configuration based upon your package weight and footprint. Cart trains are pulled by an unmanned AGV throughout facilities, automatically transferring cargo on and off carts and stations at designated locations.

This plug-n-play system works with any brand of AGV tugger and can be easily integrated with a facility’s existing system. This is a hands-free solution that eliminates fork truck usage for deliveries. Routes are pre-programmed through the CarryMatic software, which communicates with the AGV. Highly visible stack lights on each cart and station indicate all material transfer activity.


AGV’s or mobile robots are used to pull carts with no operators. The AGV drives a pre-determined route with a train of carts and transfers materials via powered rollers at appropriate locations. The CarryMatic software communicates with the AGV supervisor and other auxiliary control to facilitate proper transfers. CarryMatic systems eliminate common ergonomic safety risks often associated with lifting and bending and ensures accurate and timely deliveries of materials to appropriate locations, on schedule, maximizing productivity and lineside space.

CarryMatics application is incredibly versatile. From inbound receiving, supermarket delivery, or lineside delivery, picking up packing dunnage, dropping off and picking up from pack stations, finished good removal, dropping off at shipping docks and warehouses, and more. Automation is the future, get ahead of the curve and contact Jtec to find solutions for your distribution center, server farm, warehouse, or any other facility.

New Horizon Releases Innovative Functionality for Optimizing Inbound Logistics Scheduling at DCs

ACTON, Massachusetts – September 3, 2024 – New Horizon Soft, LLC, a global leader in AI-powered supply chain planning software, announced today the release of a new version of its Buyers Workbench procurement planning software. The latest version includes the ability to optimally schedule inbound deliveries, taking into account distribution center (DC) receiving capacity, thus minimizing receiving bottlenecks and lowering inbound logistics costs. A research paper describing the innovative methodology and its deployment at an iconic $10B+ U.S. quick-service restaurant chain was recently published in the peer-reviewed academic journal, the International Journal of Operations Research and Information Systems.

Supply chain organizations typically plan purchase orders without regard to DC receiving capacity. This leads to bottlenecks on some days and underutilized staff on others. New Horizon’s methodology, called Master Purchasing Receipt Scheduling (MPRS), uses a novel algorithm to automatically and optimally schedule deliveries. The algorithm plans deliveries at the time of purchase order creation and results in a steady volume of deliveries and lower planning and logistics costs. While first deployed at a restaurant chain, the methodology is applicable to any manufacturer, wholesaler, retailer, or foodservice company operating high-velocity DCs.
