The latest generation of Matthews Automation Solutions<\/a>\u2019 Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMR) will be on display in Booth 4013 at MODEX, in Atlanta\u2019s Georgia World Congress Center, March 9-12, 2020. Sponsored by MHI<\/a>, it is the largest North American trade show for material handling solutions in 2020.<\/p>\n

At MODEX, Matthews<\/a> will demonstrate two vital distribution center applications \u2014 order picking and material transport \u2014 optimized through the collaboration of popular material handling technologies and advanced robotics solutions. Matthews<\/a>\u2019 AMRs are available with different bolt-on-top attachments, each engineered to enhance specific warehousing tasks. These flexible hardware options, plus full controls and software integration with pick-to-light, motor-driven roller (MDR) conveyor and warehouse execution systems (WES), enable the progressive automated systems on display.<\/p>\n

\u201cMatthews AMRs are designed to increase efficiency within dynamic environments, such as e-commerce and omni-channel order fulfillment operations,\u201d explains Dave Remsing, Vice President of Market Development for Matthews Automation Solutions<\/a>. \u201cThe AMRs manage repetitive work\u2014such as handling and transporting cartons or totes\u2014so associates can focus on value-added tasks, like picking and sorting orders.\u201d<\/p>\n
