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 ser-
vices will showcase their solutions March 9–12, 2020, when Atlanta’s Georgia
World Congress Center hosts the fifth biennial MODEX Show, one of the largest
expositions for supply chain solutions in the Americas.
MODEX will offer visitors unprecedented access to efficiency-enhancing
supply chain solutions, learning opportunities, and information by showcasing
the products and services of 950 exhibitors. The show’s organizer, MHI, expects
manufacturing and supply chain professionals from more than 140 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,
a “Women in Supply Chain Industry Forum,” and more than 150 supplier-led
seminars on a broad array of manufacturing, distribution, and supply chain
topics. These seminars will be presented in theaters located right on the show
floor. This format allows attendees to learn about various manufacturing, distri-
bution, and supply chain solutions in the educational sessions and then go see
the equipment and systems that can implement those solutions.
For ease of navigation, the MODEX 2020 exhibit halls will be divided into
five function-specific solution centers: Manufacturing & Assembly, Fulfillment
& Delivery, Information Technology, Transportation & Logistics, and Emerging
Technologies. Exhibitors from across North America will be on hand to show-
case the following technologies and services:
b Packaging, containers, and shipping equipment: Box and carton makers,
dunnage trays, packaging and unitizing systems, wrapping, inspection of prod-
ucts by weight or scanning, pallets, wire baskets, plastic and metal containers,
