INDUSTRY EVENTS SPECIALREPORT

At the Modex exhibition and conference in Atlanta, attendees can get up close and personal with sizzling new technology, equipment, and services for the supply chain.

IF YOU WORK IN SUPPLY CHAIN, YOU KNOW HOW RAPIDLY THE TECHnology is advancing. Hardly a day goes by when you don’t hear about new developments in, say, automated guided vehicles, robotics, or augmented-reality picking systems.

But hearing about these innovations is one thing; seeing them in action is quite another. If you’d like to check them out in person, the Modex 2020 Show organized by MHI might be just the ticket. One of the largest expositions for supply chain solutions in the Americas, Modex will be showcasing products and services from more than 950 exhibitors at Atlanta’s Georgia World Congress Center from March 9–12.

For ease of navigation, the Modex 2020 exhibit halls will be divided into func-tion-specific solution centers: Manufacturing & Assembly, Fulfillment & Delivery, Information Technology, Transportation & Logistics, and Emerging Technologies. Exhibitors from across North America will be on hand to showcase the following technologies and services:

; Packaging, containers, and shipping equipment, which encompasses not just pallets and containers, but also wrapping systems, equipment designed for the inspection of products by weight or scanning, and palletizing equipment.

; Dock and warehouse equipment and supplies, such as dock levelers, pads, and doors; flooring; hoists; cranes; monorails; and below/hook lifting devices.
