Jonesboro, AR -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/29/2017 -- Hytrol released a video how to use the Hytrol Toolbox app, a free app available to integration partners and end users. Designed with the maintenance person in mind, the Hytrol Toolbox app displays information about the conveyor, identifies part numbers, and allows users to email their required list directly to the purchaser, integration partner, or Hytrol--all from their iOS, Android, Windows, or Kindle device.

To view the video, go to http://bit.ly/2mCRas9

In the video, it illustrates how the user can either scan the QR code on the match mark sticker or serial number (if equipped) or type in the conveyor serial number or factory order number. After scanning or entering in the number, the app will display the conveyor's order information and list specific details about the conveyor, such as including length, width and elevation.

From this point, the video explains that the user can view recommended spare parts for the conveyor by tapping on the "Parts" tab at the bottom of the screen on iOS, the top of the screen on Android or swiping left or right on Windows devices. Tapping on a part will display additional information, such as a full description and quantity used on the conveyor. The user may also add parts to a wish list that can be sent via email to the choice of contacts via a spreadsheet file. The Hytrol Toolbox app also includes links to downloadable Hytrol installation and maintenance manuals and catalog pages.

Download the app from the Apple App Store, Google Play Store, Windows App Store and Amazon Apps.

Jonesboro, AR -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/27/2017 -- Lauren Matheson Ryan, Health Club Coordinator for Hytrol, recently shared how encouraging small lifestyle changes can be beneficial for employees and the company overall in a recent blog article published on The Hytrol Experience.

In the article, she mentioned how promoting occupational wellness can help reduce absences, decrease accidents and work-related illnesses, ease stress for employees covering for those absent as well as emphasize corporate responsibility.

"For those in an office setting, most of their day is spent sitting at a desk," Matheson Ryan said. She suggested incorporating some quick wins and long-term goals in the company culture to inspire a healthy lifestyle.

"Encourage your employees to take walk breaks or park their car further away to get more steps in each day," she said. "Remind them to use opportunities like phone calls to stand up, do calf raises, practice balancing on one leg."

She mentioned that not only does this benefit the current workforce, but it is an enticing talking point for recruitment and employee engagement.

"At Hytrol, we promote wellness by having an on-site medical clinic and full-service health club at no charge for employees, their spouses, dependents and even guests. From personal training and recreational activities to annual lab work and nutrition guidance, we promote these resources so anyone can maintain a healthy lifestyle all year long," added Matheson Ryan.

Jonesboro, AR -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/21/2017 -- Ask Hytrol is a video series aimed at helping customers maintain their conveyor systems. The newest Ask Hytrol video addresses how to reading EZLogic® LED indicator lights to determine zone status. Jon Noell, Customer Training Specialist at Hytrol explained in the video that the first step when troubleshooting an error on any Hytrol EZLogic® model of conveyor is to determine whether or not it is an EZLogic® problem.

Noell explained that the LED indicator lights represent a variety of functions, such as whether or not an object's detected, if there's a jam or if the zone is driving or not.

To determine whether a troubleshooting issue is an EZLogic® issue, Noell said viewers should take note if whether or not the zone status matches what the EZLogic® controller is representing. If it is an EZLogic® issue, consult EZLogic® troubleshooting. If EZLogic® is not at fault, consult the conveyor model's installation manual for mechanical troubleshooting information.

Jonesboro, AR -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/09/2017 -- Chris Woodall, Hytrol's Connex™ Product Manager, recently explained the advantages of choosing a plastic chain conveyor in a recent blog article published on The Hytrol Experience. More companies are opting for the flexible, low-profile design that plastic chain conveyors offer.

"Plastic chain conveyors can serve specific needs and perform well with specific industries, such as food packaging, pharmaceuticals, personal care applications and more," Woodall said.

In the article, he highlighted four advantages of plastic chain conveyors offer to companies considering a unique material handling solution: flexibility, package quality is preserved, no belt tracking issues and is tested before shipping to ensure smooth operations.

Since no welding is required, Woodall said these conveyors can be utilized in a variety of configurations. "So if your business is the type that rotates product packaging frequently and needs a system to accommodate that, this type of solution can be a great fit," he said.

Jonesboro, AR -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/07/2017 -- Hytrol President David Peacock recently discussed how to achieve lasting success as an organization through managing growth in a recent blog article on the company's blog, The Hytrol Experience.

In the article, Peacock explained that most organizations focus on the squeaky wheel as their strategy. "Incoming orders may outpace production capacity, or the company adds capacity before taking the time to develop the new leaders," he said. "In both cases, product is being delivered to customers, but all the functions aren't running smoothly. Simply put, it's not sustainable."

Peacock said that there will be times when that extra push is required. "Even in those times, the entire organization needs to be focused on bringing these aspects into alignment," he said.

He highlighted four aspects of growth that need to be synchronized for optimal growth: new product offerings, revenue growth, production capacity growth and talent growth.

"The goal is to position the organization to succeed when opportunities present themselves" Peacock said. "Therefore, the strategy is to develop a team that strives daily to create those opportunities. Better yet, the job is to prepare the organization so that you are creating those opportunities."

Hytrol Integration Partner Maybury Material Handling Explores Optimizing Customer Experience

Jonesboro, AR -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/27/2017 -- Cameron Gillespie, the Digital Marketing Manager for Maybury Material Handling recently discussed how companies are having to reinvent their strategies surrounding customer loyalty in a blog article on The Hytrol Experience.

In the article, Gillespie noted, "A great example of an industry having to rethink its tactics regarding their customers is the manufacturing industry. As the field has become more competitive and saturated, manufacturing companies face rapid commoditization."

Gillespie explained that price cutting, a classic competitive strategy, is no longer sufficient. "The challenge for businesses is to think beyond numbers and visualize the customer as the center of their operation," he said. "The key objective is to enhance customer experience by building a relationship with the customer through a great experience with the company."

In the article, he mentioned that consumers have become more demanding and skeptical on buying into businesses. "Companies are under pressure to validate their products' value, and manufacturing is no exception," he said. "If the company systems are not up to par with the customer needs, customers will have to find vendors to replace all of the individual products in the solution. Customers do not want a partial solution to their problems--they want the total solution package."

Jonesboro, AR -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/23/2017 -- Hytrol supplied sliding shoe sorter conveyors for Dollar Shave Club, a company specializing in grooming and personal care products, as it expands as an e-commerce company. The Hytrol conveyors transport cartons and envelopes from both the main packing area and the pick-to-light packing stations. The cartons are sorted to 36 destination bins based on zip code. Hytrol also employed routing software from Creative Logistics Solutions. Hytrol was featured as part of Dollar Shave Club's successes in a recent article published by DC Velocity.

Hytrol's heavy duty sliding shoe sorter is designed for high speed applications where product diverting needs to be both positive and gentle. Products are transported on anodized aluminum slats where at a predetermined location, divert shoes move diagonally across the conveyor to push the product onto a take-away conveyor.

According to the article, Dollar Shave Club enjoys one huge advantage over most e-tailers in that it handles only a small number of SKUs (stock-keeping units). This was a strategic decision arrived at early on. While many online companies compete by offering a vast selection of products, Dollar Shave Club has chosen a different route: selling a limited number of quality products.

Jonesboro, AR -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/21/2017 -- Ask Hytrol is a video series aimed at helping customers maintain their conveyor systems. The newest video addresses how to properly determine belt tension on a belted conveyor. Jon Noell, Customer Training Specialist at Hytrol, explained in the video, "Proper belt tension is one of the most important practices in maintaining the life of a conveyor. Everything on a belted conveyor is built in the premise of rotation."

Noell said an improperly tensioned belt will cause damage to the bearings. "The longer the life of the bearings, the longer the life of the conveyor," he said. There are some signs to look for to help determine if a belt is improperly tensioned.

A belt that is too tight will have the following symptoms:

- Belt lacing will start to pull apart
- The edges of the belt will start to cup or curl
- Premature bearing failure or motor overload faults
