PRODecant

This brand new innovation greatly reduces the need for labor in a high injury task, while providing fast and accurate replication of the historically manual process of removing product from packaging and placing those items into totes. PRODecant can be configured based on a client’s CPM needs and can decant from a conveyor or pallet, and can connect to warehouse software.

EAM-Mosca Corp. [Booth: B8447]

Max-Q-Sonixs

The variable length conveyor system is unique and patent-applied. The fixed length chassis and flexible strap to strap spacing enables a reduction of system length of 48% versus conventional tandem bundling systems, saving floor space. The 33% speed increase enables boxmakers to run their high speed small box production processes at full speed rather than be limited by bundling system speed.

Keeping the small bundles up against each other during transport adds stability. System position at the flexo exit means that the only conveyor stop after the bundles are split is in the strapping position where a prepositioned package stop prevents toppling. This is very different than in tandem strapping systems where multiple starts/stops often upset bundles leading to unplanned downtime.

ELOKON Inc. [Booth: B1904]

ELOcate RTLS System

The product is based on the ultra-wideband wireless solution, also known as UWB. UWB is a highly precise indoor location and positioning technology that, recently, has also been incorporated into the smartphones of the world’s leading smartphone suppliers.

In the future, ELOKON can provide an app to be downloaded to your smartphone to ensure that warehouse workers can easily benefit from the safety and productivity improvements ELOcate provides.

EuroSort Inc. [Booth: B3414]

EuroSort Pitch Reducer

The EuroSort Pitch Reducer is innovative because it reduces the length of tray-based sorters by up to 40%. This allows retailers, e-commerce companies, postal carriers, first or final mile carriers, and pharmaceutical companies to fit sorters in locations previously thought to be too small for a unit sorter and prevents the need to move locations or buildings based solely on a lack of space. Alternatively, companies can now fit more destinations in the same space, increasing the size of their pick wave, and making batch picking even more efficient.

Exotec [Booth: C6291]

The Skypod System

Exotec’s signature solution, The Skypod system, utilizes robots that can reach a height of 36 feet to enable high-density inventory storage. The technology increases warehouse throughput up to five times with 2-minute response times for all SKUs.

Mushiny Robotics (Jiangsu) Co., Ltd. [C6690]

Mushiny Robot Warehouse Management System: R-WMS

By analyzing the order structure, the system automatically adjusts the types and quantity of SKUs in the manual operation area, so that simple orders composed of pure hot-selling products fall into the manual picking area. And the production capacity can be quickly increased by adding temporary employees to complete the order. The robot picking area focuses on complex order picking, and takes advantage of the system to reduce the order error rate.
