supply chains encompass a broad range of activities and technologies, from manufacturing and warehousing to distribution and logistics. The world’s leading suppliers of
supply chain-related equipment, systems, and services will showcase their solutions April 4–7, 2016, when Atlanta’s Georgia World
Congress Center hosts the third biennial MODEX Show, one of the
largest expositions for supply chain solutions in the Americas.
MODEX will offer visitors unprecedented access to supply chain
efficiency solutions, learning opportunities, and information by
showcasing the products and services of over 850 exhibitors. The
show’s organizer, MHI (formerly the Material Handling Industry of
America), expects manufacturing, distribution, and supply chain
professionals from more than 110 countries to attend the event.
In addition to the exhibition, an extensive educational conference will run concurrently with the show. The conference features
four keynote addresses and more than 100 seminars on a broad
array of manufacturing, distribution, and supply chain topics,
including trends, best practices, and the latest developments
in equipment and technology for manufacturing, distribution,
logistics, and supply chain management. These seminars will be
presented in theaters located right on the show floor. This format
allows attendees to learn about various manufacturing, distribution, and supply chain solutions in the educational sessions and
then actually see the equipment, systems, and services that can
implement those solutions.
MODEX 2016 will also feature a Supply Chain Education Summit
that includes a variety of co-located educational events presented
by leading associations and universities, as well as Atlanta-area
facility tours.
For ease of navigation, the 250,000-square-foot show floor will
be divided into three solution-specific centers: Manufacturing
& Assembly Solutions, Fulfillment & Delivery Solutions, and
Information Technology (IT) Solutions. Exhibitors from across
North America will be on hand to showcase the following technologies and services:
b Material handling equipment and systems: Automated
storage and retrieval systems, automatic guided vehicle systems,
alternative fuel systems, casters/wheels/tires, hydraulic and electrical components and controls, robots, personnel/burden carriers, racks, forklifts, batteries, flexible manufacturing systems, unit
handling systems, conveyors and sortation equipment, ergonomic
and safety equipment, scissor lifts, order picking, carousels, modular drawer storage, sustainable facility solutions, tool handling,
shelving, and workstations.
