Technology and Innovation
Investing in an automated guided vehicle (AGV) or autonomous mobile robot (AMR) program is a serious decision. To avoid expensive mistakes and maximize the return on investment, it is important to assess your options carefully. Asking potential suppliers the following nine questions should ensure you make an informed choice.
Transportation
Education & Professional Development
In addition to 850 exhibits from leading material handling and supply chain solution providers, MODEX 2022 will include four keynotes and over 100 show floor educational seminars covering leading trends, best practices and state-of-the-art equipment and technology solutions that can make manufacturing and the entire supply chain work more resiliently, efficiently and profitably.
Sustainability
Despite the economic shock and supply chain disruptions from the pandemic, most companies continued their efforts to become more sustainable last year, according to the MIT State of Supply Chain Sustainability report.
Leadership

Environmental, social and governance (ESG) has assumed a role unimaginable five years ago. Setting and achieving ESG goals is no longer a nice-to-have but an urgent necessity for companies battling to win over customers, employees, investors and other stakeholders. Strong leadership, effective communication, authenticity and a shared sense of ownership are keys to building an ESG culture that can help differentiate your company and gain a competitive edge.
Workforce
While we’ve all heard the corporate line—”The safety of our employees is our No. 1 priority”—in this industry safety is more than just a slogan or a poster on the break-room wall. It’s the the set of norms, behaviors and expectations—a culture of safety excellence—that has been developed over years or decades until it is completely engrained in a company’s way of doing business.
The future of our work environment is going to be highly influenced by several technological advancements such as automation, artificial intelligence (AI), robots, big data and data analysis. These significant technological changes are referred to as “Industry 4.0” or the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Industry 4.0 has positive impacts on our lives through increased productivity and new economic opportunities. However, it can create additional burdens and challenges for managers and employees.
