Yale Receives 2024 Top Software and Tech Award

Yale Lift Truck Technologies announces recognition by Food Logistics and Supply & Demand Chain Executive as a 2024 Top Software & Tech Award winner. The award spotlights new-to-market solutions and enhancements to existing software and technology designed to provide automation, efficiency and visibility to the supply chain space. The company’s Advanced Dynamic Stability (ADS), a technology designed to help maintain overall stability and minimize the potential for forklift tip overs, won recognition as a top technology in the Warehouse Automation category.

Previously available in packaged solutions with one or more other Yale Reliant technologies – including object detection, proximity detection and real-time location sensing – ADS is now available as a standalone option. ADS continuously monitors forklift and load status, and automatically applies interventions in response to compromised stability. Adjustments, such as a reduction to travel speed or a smoothing of fork tilt or lift movement, are carefully measured to avoid abrupt shifts or jerks that can upset stability. The standalone ADS availability offers a more affordable and accessible solution for operations with needs that might not warrant an investment in the detection or infrastructure required for other technologies in the Yale Reliant suite. The technology is now available on more than 50 Yale lift truck models.

Nearly 43 percent of award entries pertained to supply chain visibility solutions, followed by WMS/TMS software at 23 percent, then warehouse automation at 18 percent, with the remaining 16 percent of entries in the robotics and procurement and ERP software categories. Enhancements to existing solutions accounted for 55 percent of submissions, while the remainder were new-to-market technologies.
