A European website, YourTechTV.com, offers a place for companies to post promotional and educational videos. The more interesting and unique, or amusing and zany, the more viewers they attract. A search under the keyword "warehouse" returns a variety of results about bar code scanning, lift truck-mounted computers, and voice technology, from LXE, Intermec and Microlise, respectively.
