Set tray margins on lift machines
You can now define edge margins on lift machine trays to align the system’s location grid with the physical tray dimensions. This ensures laser pointers, LED lights, and display visualizations accurately indicate the correct pick location. Margins are configured per tray in centimeters with a real-time preview, and existing location assignments, serialized items, and location names remain unchanged. Applies to KARDEX, Modula, Hänel, and Weland devices. Learn more about lift machines →

Use your own database server for on-premise installations
On-premise installations can now use your own database server instances instead of CRIBWISE-provided databases. This gives your IT team full control over database infrastructure to meet strict security and compliance requirements. CRIBWISE-managed databases remain the default and are still fully supported.
