Dematic Enhances Scentsy Fulfillment Center With AutoStore(TM) and Warehouse Execution Software
ATLANTA, GEORGIA / ACCESS Newswire / June 3, 2025 / Dematic, a global leader in supply chain automation, recently partnered with Scentsy, an international fragrance company, to transform its facility in Meridian, Idaho. The newly implemented advanced automation system provides improved efficiency, increased picking capacity, and faster order fulfillment.
Scentsy's 160,000-square-foot facility features Dematic Warehouse Execution System (WES) software with an AutoStore system (with 20,800 product bins, 100 R5 robots, 16 carousel picking ports, and two conveyor ports) and a pick-to-cart system. The operation performs automated piece picking for e-commerce order fulfillment and allows Scentsy to increase picking capacity to 450 units per hour, nearly a 50% improvement from the 300 units per hour from its previous manual pick line.
'Like our customers, we continuously evolve and adapt. To remain at the forefront and exceed expectations, we transformed our approach so we could ship products faster, more accurately, and with better inventory visibility,' says Paul Klassen, Scentsy chief operating officer. 'Dematic has been a trusted partner throughout this journey, working with us to provide a solution, not just another system. Their expertise helped us embrace automation, enhance efficiency, and better prepare for the future.'
Scentsy's inventory continues to grow from frequent new product launches and stocking of discontinued scents. The Dematic solution maximizes storage space, maintains consistent processing speeds, and adapts quickly to fluctuations in demand. Customers receive accurate on-time orders, even during peak periods or new product launches. The solution helps conserve natural resources by reducing paper waste as employees access order information digitally instead of using printed tickets. Additionally, the efficient storage and retrieval process of the AutoStore system minimizes energy use, supporting broader eco-friendly best practices..
'The trust Scentsy has in Dematic underscores our dedication to providing innovative, scalable solutions that drive business growth,' says Mike Oren, Dematic senior vice president of sales for the Americas region. 'This partnership is a powerful example of how technology can transform operations and create exceptional customer experiences.'

Who Will Governor DeSantis Support: Big Land Developer or Residents?
VENICE, FLORIDA / ACCESS Newswire Recent articles highlight concerns over developers increasingly utilizing special taxing districts in Florida, which can serve residents, but lately appear to be granting developers excessive control. A key example is CS/HB 4061 – West Villages Improvement District, Sarasota County. This bill, passed with expedient unanimity through the Florida Legislature, awaited being sent to the Governor for nearly two months amid Wellen Park resident protests including a petition that now has 3,177 signatures urging a veto. On its face, the bill adjusts thresholds for transitioning WVID board seats in from developer-appointed to resident-elected. Currently, the district's board has four developer-appointed and one resident-elected seat, but ongoing litigation by a few residents claims that they deserve one or two more elected seats already. CS/HB 4061 would render resident these claims moot, whether they were valid before or not. Rep. Danny Nix, the bill's sponsor, made a statement on March 26 to the House Intergovernmental Affairs Committee that putting an end to the resident litigation was an intent with the bill. Residents claim the new thresholds are unrealistic, ensuring developer control indeterminately, control including tax-billed assessment fees paid to the developer's entity for up to 100 years for holding a water permit. More alarmingly, though, the bill grants the district eminent domain powers and the ability to annex land without government approval, allowing a foreign-owned corporation's employees to force easements, seize private property, and expand the district indefinitely. CS/HB 4061 bypasses officials meant to manage growth and protect resources, enabling unsustainable development. At a June 17 12th District Court hearing, the developer's attorney suggested a 100-year water agreement is irrelevant due to impending water shortages, implying the development knowingly exceeds local resource capacity. Residents fear a for-profit, foreign-owned company will control tax assessments, profit from them, and dictate resource management and growth, leaving Floridians to bear future costs. The bill's passage raises broader concerns about developer-driven districts undermining local governance and straining resources without oversight. In 2023, DeSantis dissolved Disney's special district, Reedy Creek Improvement District, stating, ' Allowing a corporation to control its own government is bad policy, especially when the corporation makes decisions that impact an entire region… ' Unlike Reedy Creek, where Disney uses the land in perpetuity as a long-term stakeholder (for theme parks, hotels, amenities, etc.), The WVID's foreign-owned master developer makes their profit by selling off the land piece-by-piece over time. They are not a stationary, long-term stakeholder in the region. One could think that the same quote would be even more relevant. With CS/HB 4061 sent to DeSantis in the extended session's final hours, only a few days remain. Signing or ignoring the bill, which becomes law automatically if not acted upon, supports the developer. A veto is the only hope for the district's residents, with their 3,177 petitioners among 9,972 registered voters, who seek protection from unchecked corporate control. DeSantis' choice will reveal whether he prioritizes voting citizens or a foreign-owned developer's interests.

(OTCQB:QSEP), a leader in crude oil transport technology, has received a major order to deploy its Applied Oil Technology (AOT) across Southeast Asia and Africa. This marks a breakthrough moment for QS Energy and supports global efforts to modernize and decarbonize crude infrastructure. DELIVERING ON A PROMISE OF INNOVATION AND SUCCESS This initial order of five (5) AOT units launches a broader multi-phase deployment under a government-backed program with VIPS Petroleum. Valued at $25 million with the estimated expected full payment in this quarter, this order kicks off up to a $2 Billion 400-unit framework for South East Asia and Africa. The remaining 395 units will be delivered in milestone-based phases with a 50/25/25 payment structure, ensuring strong cash flow for QS Energy, commencing in Q3 and Q4 2025. AOT's proven results helped open doors with energy ministries and national oil companies. This deal is made possible by VIPS Petroleum, QS Energy's exclusive regional distributor contracted in 2024.
