The “2021 MHI Annual Industry Report,” conducted with Deloitte, opens with a quote from John Paxton, CEO of the Materials Handling Institute. “Supply chain resilience has never been more important,” he wrote. “Companies that made investments in digital technologies prior to the pandemic were more prepared and able to adapt, survive and even thrive during this disruption. They will also be ready when the next crisis inevitably hits.” Historically, when it came to the adoption of automation and emerging technologies, warehousing and distribution took a wait-and-see approach. For example, the automotive industry has been using robotics since General Motors installed…

…and digital technologies to drive superior performance. According to MHI and Deloitte, there are two primary well known forces driving investments in technology in the supply chain and logistics industry: Customer demands and workforce shortage. More recent challenges, such as the national warehouse vacancy rate hovering at record lows and warehouses bloated with inventory pulled in from China during 2018 to get ahead of impending tariffs, have emerged creating an even more demanding environment. For these reasons, proper inventory management—accompanied by the ability to move inventory throughout the supply chain at a high velocity and lower cost—has become a must-have…

…see what the industry has to offer. From what MHI is saying, 2017 will be the biggest Promat ever. In that regard, there has been a lot of talk about where the industry fits in the supply chain, both around the table at our magazine as well as within the industry. I think that question misses the point: Supply chain people aren’t looking for broader supply chain solutions, like demand planning, S&OP or logistics, from us. They’re hungry for innovative solutions that will solve their materials handling problems. Most importantly, we are an enabling technology. When I first started writing…

…Modex on Wednesday. The recipients of the 4th annual MHI Innovation Awards were among 95 total applicants narrowed to 12 finalists in three categories: Best New Innovation, Best Innovation of an Existing Product and – new this year – Best IT Innovation. Intelligrated won Best Innovation of an Existing Product for its Intellisort cross-belt sorter with dynamic discharge compensation, which uses an algorithm and vision system to determine the most accurate discharge trajectory based upon the product’s location on the belt, its dimensions, and chute location. Enabling precision discharge, the solution minimizes manual touches, improves sortation accuracy to 99.99% and…

…edition of the event, back in 2019. In 2021, MHI ran the virtual ProMat DX. First off, this year's materials handling trade show was packed and informative. Registration set a record with 50,924 industry professionals across more than 1,000 exhibitor booths in two large halls. Things were hopping, even more so than at last year’s successful MODEX, also put on by MHI. [Editor's note: Peerless Media, the parent organization of Robotics 24/7 and Modern Materials Handling, is a partner of MHI.] Looking back on the industry changes since 2019, some challenges persist. Labor availability remains a core driver for technology…

…(PRG), along with input from The Robotics Group at MHI and WERC, developed our first annual “Intralogistics Robotics Survey” that was fielded in the first quarter of 2022. We wanted to simply ask readers where robotics were in their plans. Are they currently still trying to understand how it fits in their operation? Are they in planning mode or even in pilot mode? Or are they taking a wait-and-see attitude? While the prospects are exciting, where are we in reality? Trebilcock dives in and puts context around the key findings of our survey. While our findings validate the robotics “buzz,”…
