Don’t Miss Our Annual Modern Materials Handling Virtual Summit

Don’t miss our Annual Materials Handling Virtual Summit. Listen live on Thursday July 30th or stream anytime after that.

As if double-digit e-commerce growth, mounting order fulfillment complications and a shrinking labor pool weren’t pressure enough, add Covid-19 to the list of challenges confronting warehouse and distribution center (DC) managers as they transform their operations.

As the market recovers, and demand picks back up, flexibility and scalability will be more important than ever—putting a premium on the adoption of software, flexible automation, mobile solutions and emerging next-generation technologies. 

In this Virtual Summit, the editorial team of Modern Materials Handling has designed sessions to help warehouse and DC managers navigate disruption and find success in the new, digital world. In the end, these sessions will help to ensure that your facility evolves to become a vital and nimble link in a seamless, digital supply chain.

Summit sessions Include:

  • Keynote: Enter the New Labor Landscape: Turning crisis into opportunity
  • 1. Automation: New Warehouse Automation Strategies for the Post COVID-19 World
  • 2. Robotics: Risk management before, during and after a crisis
  • 3. Software: The full measure of a plan
  • 4. Mobility: Mobility and voice at the edge
  • 5. E-commerce: Hyper-local fulfillment takes flight
