WMS

Artificial intelligence was ubiquitous at MODEX 2024

MODEX 2024 is a leading indicator of good things to come in the material handling and supply chain industries.

New types of third-party software solutions can enhance WMS in many ways, including gains in inventory accuracy, better tools for creating workflows and user interfaces for task execution, and simplified integration with mobile robots and other forms of automation.

We sat down with James Malley, CEO and Co-Founder of Paccurate to discuss how MODEX 2024 was a hotbed for new innovation and emerging technologies
