Acquisitions enable MHS to become single-source system supplier

In a press conference on Tuesday, MHS (Booth N6539) detailed how key acquisitions of multiple controls, software and equipment providers—including Atronix, VanRiet and OCM—expand the company’s offerings in products, capacity and R&D innovations.

“This growth enables us to offer customers complete, end-to-end capabilities as a single-source system supplier,” said Rush Fullerton, VP. “Through our extensive presence across North America and Europe, we deliver sortation, conveyor, storage and retrieval, order fulfillment, software, maintenance and other solutions worldwide.”

Notably, MHS recently released its latest robotic technology: a singulation system to automate sorter induction.

“It combines advanced computer vision, controls, gripping technology and a five-axis delta robot to pick items from bulk flow and properly orient them in a single-file stream for downstream processes,” said Dean Terrell, SVP of product development, who invited attendees to compete against the system in an in-booth virtual reality experience.

ProMat 2019 is scheduled to be held April 8-11 at Chicago’s McCormick Place. The tradeshow will showcase the latest manufacturing, distribution and supply chain solutions in the materials handling and logistics industry. Modern’s complete coverage of the show.
