Find Your DC NEXT at MODEX 2020

Keeping pace with e-commerce expectations in the face of escalating labor costs, scarcities and challenges is placing constant pressure on distribution center (DC) operators. At Honeywell Intelligrated, we’re dedicated to helping our customers address these unrelenting concerns with forward-thinking innovations in workforce optimization, robotic integration and industrial internet of things (IIoT) connectivity in the distribution and fulfillment space. Join us at MODEX 2020, March 9–12 at Atlanta’s World Congress Center, where we will be demonstrating our comprehensive DC solutions in booth #7619.

From system design, receiving, order picking and consolidation to shipping, lifecycle management and IIoT-enabled infrastructures, we’ll show you how to accelerate your transition to what we call your DC Next. You’ll find interactive product demos that highlight our focuses on smart robotics, future-proof scalability, real-time asset monitoring, resource retention strategies, labor productivity and end-to-end DC control.

Specific technologies that will be exhibited include:

Design simulation and concepting — Join our operations and solutions development team as they walk through a 3D DC design simulation, including an overview of the entire system and key automation components, such as high-density automatic storage and receiving systems (AS/RS), goods-to-operator (GTO) and goods-to-robot (GTR) workstations, pick and place robotics, autonomous mobile robots (AMR) and sortation.

Robotic unloader — See how we’re helping DC operators relieve the burden of labor-intensive trailer unloading with this live robotic unloader demonstration. Our state-of-art solution significantly reduces the manual effort required to effectively run a receiving dock.

AS/RS — Achieve high-density storage while minimizing a storage rack’s footprint with flexible AS/RS shuttles designed to store cartons of various widths along the length of an aisle and maximize available storage locations by accommodating smaller container sizes.

GTR picking — Witness robotic order picking efficiency in motion with this vertical lift and GTR each picking station. A vertical reciprocating conveyor transports totes from lower to upper levels, where a SuperPick robot from Soft Robotics picks and places items into order containers.

Order picking workflow automation — Integrate AMRs from Fetch Robotics with pick-to-light stations and Honeywell Voice-directed put walls into an efficient workflow designed to reduce inefficient movement for critical put-away, picking and packing functions.

Honeywell Voice — Achieve higher levels of productivity and accuracy in your demanding distribution center (DC) and warehouse operations with Honeywell Voice, which utilizes voice-guided workflows that help you run a smarter, better business. 

Robotic sorter induction — Automate the induction of packaged items onto a sorter with this fully integrated robotic solution that produces consistent output, takes up minimal floor space, and doesn’t require significant modifications to retrofit into existing induction stations.

Interactive sortation demonstration — Explore the breadth of Honeywell Intelligrated sortation technologies at our interactive video table and learn how they can help your operation increase throughput, lower costs, and reduce dependence on manual labor.

Connected Assets software — Learn how connected infrastructures and intuitive software are enabling DC operators to visualize and manage critical system performance and key asset health to improve operational efficiency, predict and avoid risks, and lower the cost-per-case shipped.

Momentum™ Suite of Software Solutions — Take the reins of e-commerce execution with Honeywell Intelligrated’s best-in-class suite of warehouse execution functionality offering, designed to empower decision intelligence through advanced data analytics and machine-learning technologies.

GoalPost® labor management software (LMS) — Achieve maximum labor utilization and cost control through optimization, visibility and predictive planning models that drive up employee performance and engagement while reducing attrition, time to fulfill and direct labor spend.

Aftermarket support — Discover the many ways Honeywell Intelligrated delivers the industry’s most robust suite of aftermarket tools and services — from TechSight smart glasses for fast issue resolution to our Assurance 360 outcome-based service solution that delivers outcome-based lifecycle management services that help our customers achieve continuous performance improvements and maximize business results. 

Smart Talk — Need your workforce to communicate smarter? Honeywell’s Smart Talk provides a secure VoIP, Push-To-Talk, messaging, and presence solution that empowers the entire workforce with the constant and instant connection they need to improve customer experiences, employee engagement and productivity for faster and better outcomes.

Operational Intelligence — Reduce the loss of mobile devices and associated labor distractions of searching for missing equipment by accurately monitoring device utilization and applying this data in future equipment replenishment decisions.

In addition, we’ll be conducting in-booth presentations about Momentum, Honeywell Robotics, DC connectivity and Honeywell Voice technologies. So if you’re ready to take your operation from DC Now to DC Next, plan on visiting booth #7619 at MODEX 2020.
