Next generation of air cargo automation solutions DIMOS receives the Middle East Innovation Award 2022 in Dubai
DIMOS Maschinenbau GmbH won the TLME Innovation Award in the Air Cargo Automation category in Dubai. The Transport & Logistics Middle East industry platform bestowed the award on the manufacturer of warehouse and industrial trucks for the DIMOS INTRAC, the automated pallet mover for efficient ULD handling. The TLME Innovation Award 2022 is one of the most prestigious logistics awards in the Arab region. And this year, DIMOS triumphed in the “Most Innovative Automation Solution Provider – Air Cargo” category with its INTRAC pallet mover solution. The award is presented to companies that develop automation solutions for the air freight industry and ultimately help to speed up operational processes and make them more efficient. INTRAC: a new generation of autonomous cargo handling systems DIMOS designed INTRAC to enable the automated transport of air freight containers, and the pallet mover has succeeded in implementing an unprecedented level of automation in end-to-end freight handling. The vehicle autonomously transports ULDs in the terminal, arranging storage and staging areas in advance and storing the load carriers in a flexible area if required. In combination with other vehicles from the DIMOS air cargo portfolio, INTRAC enables completely flexible use of the terminal space. This allows air cargo tasks to be processed efficiently. The system was introduced at the end of 2021 as a pilot project at one of the largest German airport operators. Teamwork makes the dream work “A big thank you goes to the entire DIMOS team – both in Germany and in the United Arab Emirates”, says Pascal Schütz, head of sales and development at DIMOS. Together with other members of the team, Pascal Schütz was able to accept the award in person in Dubai. “Without our commitment, teamwork and passion, we would not be holding this award in our hands”, he continues. The Petersberg family business has 90 employees, 15 of whom are based in Dubai. DIMOS has been carrying out projects in Dubai–especially in the air cargo sector–since 1999. And since this year, the company has also been taking care of orders and customers from its own local branch.

Toyota Material Handling recognized for workplace safety
TMH receives 2022 Indiana Governor’s Workplace Safety Award Toyota Material Handling (TMH) was recognized by Indiana Department of Labor Commissioner Joe Hoage during the annual Governor’s Workplace Safety Awards event held on March 3rd in Indianapolis for the company’s exemplary workplace-safety practices and advocacy. The Columbus-based forklift manufacturer was among six Indiana companies honored at this year’s event. “We are honored to be recognized by the state of Indiana for our culture of safety,” said Tony Miller, Toyota Material Handling Senior Vice President. “At Toyota, we truly believe our people are our most important asset, and we are committed to providing a safe and healthy work environment for all of our associates. This award is a great way to recognize everybody that contributes to our culture of safety by always looking to improve the ways in which we keep each other safe.” Toyota Material Handling received a Partnership Award, which recognizes companies and worksites that emphasize activities in which the organization has joined with another external group to promote injury and illness prevention. TMH has partnered with ATI Worksite Solutions to provide onsite early-intervention services. “The dedication these companies and workers show to improving workplace safety is one example of what sets Hoosier businesses and employees apart from the rest of the nation,” Hoage said. “We are proud to honor these businesses as leaders in occupational safety and health.” TMH believes in creating and fostering a company culture that embraces and prioritizes a proactive prevention-based approach to occupational health and wellness. The company’s recently published 2022 Sustainability Report details programs, partners and processes supporting TMH’s award-winning safety culture. The Governor’s Workplace Safety Awards are a result of a partnership among government, business, and safety leaders, including the Indiana Department of Labor on behalf of Gov. Eric J. Holcomb, the Indiana Chamber of Commerce, and the Central Indiana Chapter of the American Society of Safety Engineers. “This past year has amplified how important it is for employers to prioritize a safety strategy and deliver that message to employees – for the health of both the individuals and the company,” said Indiana Chamber of Commerce President and Chief Executive Officer Kevin Brinegar. “We are pleased to recognize these organizations and leaders who continue to embrace workplace safety at the highest levels.” This is the second significant state award Toyota Material Handling has received in recent months. Last September, the company was recognized with the Governor’s Award for Environmental Excellence, Indiana’s most prestigious environmental recognition.
