"Modex has grown not only in size, but also in overall scope. Attendees experienced a wide range of manufacturing, supply chain and transportation equipment and systems solutions and education,” said George W. Prest, Chief Executive Officer of MHI, the organizer of the exhibition.
The dominant trend at Modex surrounded digital supply chain solutions including automation, robotics, artificial intelligence, autonomous vehicles, augmented reality, the Internet of Things and data analytics. “We’re seeing an acceleration and acceptance of these technologies in manufacturing and supply chain operations,” said Prest. “There was a substantial number of these solutions on display this year.” The digital trend was also evident in Modex Supply Chain Conference sessions which included 110 educational seminars and four keynotes.
