As the material handling industry evolved over the years, more Industry Groups were formed and now groups are on the horizon to represent emerging technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIndustry Groups are formed so the members can collaborate among competitors,\u201d said Christian Dow, MHI\u2019s executive vice president of membership and industry leadership. \u201cThey share statistics and best practices, including how to safely implement products and solutions. Many of the groups are also leading the way by writing standards for their particular products and&nbsp;solutions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Last year a new group was launched, The Robotics Group, which focuses on arm robots and solutions, complementing the Mobile Automation Group. In 2021, MHI plans to form another Industry Group for the manufacturers, solutions providers and integrators of technologies that pick, pack, label, scan, dimension, measure, sense and weigh, as well as the software that pulls them together within the warehouse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDown the road we\u2019re looking for ways to involve emerging technologies and startups, giving them a home within the Industry Group community,\u201d Dow said. \u201cWe want to make sure we\u2019re representing the industry and staying on top of all of the latest technologies and&nbsp;trends.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Industry Groups also collaborate with other groups to better solve end-user needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAll of these groups represent solutions to enhance another solution that would go in a facility,\u201d he said. \u201cMHI is one place where companies can gain access to all of this knowledge among Industry Groups.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are 16 MHI Industry Groups, all of which have websites and many of which have educational videos, podcasts, training documents and white papers. Personal insights and little-known facts about a few of them are included below, as shared by leaders in the respective groups who are also directly involved in the front-line activities, decisions and future of the supply chain industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mhisolutions-digital.com\/mhiq\/0020_anniversary_edition\/MobilePagedArticle.action?articleId=1620104#articleId1620104\">Read More&#8230;<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Adaptable and collaborative MHI Industry Groups customize their solutions based on industry needs and future trends.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":46,"featured_media":3085,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5,11],"tags":[230,1664,1663,1672,1679,155,756,459,755,460,777,453,452,1669,1632,259,258,1411,41,1675,831,1673,1666,1665,476,198,1668,248,231,454,442,32,1902,891,1667,890,195,228,249,1678,1677,1671,221,1670,1674,220,1676,24,877],"class_list":["post-3083","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-features","category-solutions-spotlight","tag-aaron-conway","tag-asrs","tag-automated-storage-retrieval-systems","tag-beumer-corp","tag-carlos-oliver","tag-christian-dow","tag-cmaa","tag-conveyor-and-sortation-systems","tag-crane-manufacturers-association-of-america","tag-css","tag-ease","tag-ecma","tag-electrification-and-controls-manufacturers-association","tag-ergonomic-assist-systems-equipment","tag-frazier-industrial","tag-hmi","tag-hoist-manufacturers-institute","tag-icwm","tag-institute-of-caster-and-wheel-manufacturers","tag-jerry-eischens","tag-jim-galante","tag-kevin-oneill","tag-lift","tag-lift-manufacturers-product-group","tag-loading-dock-equipment-manufacturers","tag-lodem","tag-mag","tag-mark-arthur","tag-mezzanine-safeti-gates","tag-mhi-industry-group","tag-mhi-solutions","tag-mhi-solutions-community","tag-mhi-solutions-magazine","tag-mma","tag-mobile-automation-group","tag-monorail-manufacturers-association","tag-progma","tag-protective-guarding-manufacturers-association","tag-rm-materials-handling","tag-rack-manufacturers-institute","tag-rmi","tag-sebastian-titze","tag-sma","tag-southworth-products","tag-steele-solutions-inc","tag-storage-manufacturers-association","tag-tc-american-crane","tag-the-robotics-group","tag-trg"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.4 -
