A voice-directed picking solution from Numina Group has led to big productivity gains at Demco, a Wisconsin distributor of library supplies. By boosting the pick accuracy of warehouse workers to close to 100 percent, Demco justified the elimination of eight order checking positions, savings in excess of six figures.

ExaGrid Makes No Compromises with 'DeltaZone' Backups
by Alex Woodie
If Chuck Norris were in charge of your backups, what would they look like? They would most likely be conducted as fast and orderly as possible, because Mr. Norris would want it that way. One could make the argument that ExaGrid, the developer of disk-to-disk backup devices, has found a Norris-like technology in DeltaZone, its new data deduplication feature that doesn't sacrifice scalability for applicability.
