Material Handling Industry Tradeshow 2012: Success

Posted by admin on February 15, 2012

Attending tradeshows – whether you have a booth at one or are just strolling through – is an opportunity to network within your industry, reevaluate what your brand is currently doing and learn about new cutting-edge solutions.

From February 6-9, tens of thousands of manufacturers, distributors and supply chain and logistics professionals from over 80 countries came together in Atlanta, Georgia’s World Congress Center for MODEXSM 2012. The tradeshow held over 500 exhibits and spanned 150,000 net square feet. For material handling distributors, manufacturers and companies, this was the place to be this month.

MODEXSM 2012 showcased material handling equipment and systems solutions and also provided educational opportunities on an array of industry topics. With such a large event, organization was key in the planning stages. The show floor was divided into three solution-specific sections: (1) manufacturing and assembly (2) fulfillment and delivery and (3) information technology.

In the midst of the networking, showcasing and communicating between all attendees, there was an educational conference comprised of individual sessions. Each session featured a keynote speaker that discussed issues surrounding operational efficiencies and improving visibility within supply chain management systems.

Promat 2013 will be next year’s tradeshow of the year for the material handling industry. The event is slated for January of next year and already the planning has begun.
