PeakLogix U

Continuous learning is at the heart of PeakLogix company culture and now we want to share that culture with the industry. Peak performance requires constant education in the latest and best practices.

The PeakLogix U Initiative

We routinely schedule interactive classes, both online and live in Virginia and North Carolina, and you are invited to attend. Learn from our experience, and contribute your own insights to the group. Find background on current equipment like pallet racking systems, industrial conveyors and full-scale warehouse racking systems.

Here’s what you won’t find in a PeakLogix U class: an infomercial. It’s not about selling product. If your participation in the program leads you to our services, we’re grateful, but that is not our primary objective. Our goal is to promote professional development and keep the industry—and you—on the leading edge.

Recent Programs

Robotic Palletizing

Learn how robotics can be used to optimize efficiency and eliminate the ergonomic issues of manual palletizing and de-palletizing operations as part of your pallet racking system.

This 30-minute presentation will examine the capabilities of the robots, which applications are good candidates for this technology, and, ultimately, what results can be achieved with a properly set up robotic work cell. Illustrations will be used so those participating in the class can see the robots in action as they work to make a pallet racking system more efficient!

Top 10 Reasons to Invest in a Warehouse Management System

This session will help you examine the areas of your business where the use of warehouse management software can make small improvements in efficiency— and a big impact on the bottom line. Take 30 minutes to join us in considering common business issues in mind-opening ways. Real case studies and data illustrate the potential for increased profitability in the following areas:

Competitive advantage
Labor Savings / Productivity Gains

Shipping
Manufacturing and Production
Customer Service

The session will outline optimal operation as a circular process that entails fulfilling a need; providing your customers what they want, when they want it, at prices that are profitable to you and your clients; and minimizing operational inefficiencies along the way. By extension, it will help you consider these areas of opportunity within your own business, and the benefits of warehouse management software in making change happen.
