What a phenomenal journey we had at MODEX 2024. This year's event in Atlanta (March 11-14) was nothing short of a blockbuster, smashing records left, right, and center. With a whopping 48,733 supply chain and manufacturing pros making their way through the doors. And guess what? That's a record turnout!
A Glimpse into the Future
Spread across three expansive halls and covering 580,000 square feet of the Georgia World Congress Center, over 1,200 exhibitors pulled back the curtain on the latest and greatest in supply chain technology and innovation. This was MHI's biggest bash to date, with 32% more visitors than the last MODEX. "This event was a massive win for the entire industry," said John Paxton, MHI's CEO, proudly. And we couldn't agree more!
The Big Highlights
AI: The Belle of the Ball
The buzzword this year? Artificial Intelligence. During MODEX, John Paxton unveiled the MHI 2024 Annual Industry Report, shining a spotlight on AI technologies. This year’s report features an extensive focus on emerging AI technologies, such as generative AI, and offers evidence-based insights on how to integrate them most effectively with your existing systems and workforce. With 55% of leaders boosting their tech investments and a whopping 88% planning to invest over $1 million, it's clear: the future is automated, intelligent, and innovative.
Robotics Revolution
Speaking of innovation, robots were the stars of the show. Over 25% of exhibitors, including yours truly, showcased robotics and automation. Our demo featuring the GENI-Ant? AMR Sorter, GENI-Hive? Handling Platform, and a Robotic Arm, in collaboration with Plus One Robotics and Yaskawa America, Inc., turned heads and sparked imaginations about the potential of automated material handling.
Collaboration and Progress
The event also highlighted the importance of partnerships in pushing boundaries. We announced a new teaming agreement with Freespace Robotics, promising to enrich our solution portfolio in North America with their cutting-edge cubic AS/RS innovations. "We're thrilled about the opportunities this collaboration will unlock for our customers," shared Jeff Gavenas, Interim CEO of Fives Intralogistics Corp.
Learning and Leading
Our commitment to spreading knowledge was evident in the three educational seminars we participated in. From mastering the art of sorting the "unsortable" to exploring the latest in supply chain technology and the integration of robotics in sorters, we aimed to equip attendees with the insights and strategies to navigate the complexities of the modern supply chain and intralogistics.
