MODEX 2026: CMES Robotics, Engineering Innovation to showcase AI-powered parcel handling system

CMES Robotics

CMES Robotics and Engineering Innovation are partnering to showcase an AI-Powered parcel handling system at MODEX 2026.

CMES Robotics USA and Engineering Innovation (EII) will showcase what the companies call a fully integrated AI-powered parcel handling system at MODEX 2026.

The joint offering pairs CMES Robotics' AI Vision piece picking technology with Eii’s Chameleon Parcel Sorting System.

The companies said that together, the system delivers a complete gaylord-to-conveyor automation platform designed to help distribution centers and fulfillment operations increase throughput, reduce manual labor and handle real-world parcel variability.

“CMES brings a new level of capability to the table,” said Don Caddy, CEO, EII. “Their AI-driven picking technology enables our customers to automate processes that were once manual and difficult to scale. Integrated with our Chameleon SLAM system, it adds a new layer of automation that grows with our customers as their needs evolve. We’re looking forward to showcasing this at MODEX.”

The companies said that the live booth demonstrations at MODEX will show how CMES Robotics' AI Vision identifies and grips parcels of varying shapes, sizes and orientations directly from a gaylord, then places each item onto a conveyor for downstream processing. CMES and EII said that the result is a seamless, high-speed piece-picking system.

"Combining CMES AI Vision with Eii gives customers a proven, production-ready solution for one of the most persistent manual tasks in any distribution operation," said Alex Choe, president, CMES Robotics USA. "MODEX is the right place to show this running live.”

The companies said that the combined system addresses one of the most labor-intensive bottlenecks in parcel handling: manually breaking down gaylords and feeding product to conveyors. CMES Robotics said its AI Vision enables the robot to recognize and pick items regardless of shape, size or how they are packed, without manual programming for each parcel type.
