The 2004 GATF InterTech Technology Award recipients, listed alphabetically by company, include:
SPLOX Speed Loading Box
Boise Cascade Corporation, Paper Solutions
This ergonomically designed paper delivery system significantly reduces the risk of musculoskeletal injury while improving the speed at which workers can access, transport, and load office paper into equipment. Third-party testing has indicated 47% productivity improvements. Developed with extensive customer input, the SPLOX system features an integrated handle, gives direct access to 2,500 sheets of reamless paper in a fast two-step opening process, and features corrugated layers to protect paper from damage, moisture, and dust. One judge expects the system to have a notable impact on quick-turnaround digital printing centers.
