Dematic and Linde Material Handling invite MODEX attendees to experience interactive zones tailored to grocery, apparel, food and beverage, and general merchandising industries, featuring operator assistance systems, lifecycle support services, scalable forklift automation, the Linde Hydrostatic drive truck, and the Linde Reach Truck. Within both booths, touchscreen monitors will display an array of solutions, including:

• Dematic Smart Task Activation is order fulfillment management software that increases operational effectiveness by synchronizing workflows in real time. It uses a dynamic strategy based on a revolving queue of orders. Smart Task Activation “pulls” work to resources and processes orders on-demand, continuously and dynamically. The processing plan is not pre-defined and rigid, but rather determined based on current conditions to support operational flexibility.

• Linde Guardian is an operator assistance system using full-service awareness technology to monitor internal traffic. The system can see around corners and be programmed to safeguard against hazardous scenarios involving trucks, infrastructure, and people.

• Dematic Micro-Fulfillment moves e-commerce fulfillment closer to the customer base for the shortest possible pickup and delivery times. It’s designed as an urban distribution system that automates the fulfillment of e-commerce orders for same day “click & collect” and delivery. The system has a compact footprint, which can be installed in the back room of a retail store or in an urban distribution center.

• Dematic Mixed Case Fulfillment delivers efficiency in the entire distribution center to retail and grocery replenishment supply chain. The solution is fully automated and creates mixed case pallets and loads following specific business rules such as: by retail store aisles, family group, heavy items on bottom, and by layers for route delivery sequence generating savings in the distribution center, transportation, and store operations cost centers.

• Dematic Depalletizer/Palletizer is a robotics system that provides dual functionality by operating as both a palletizer and depalletizer. The system can, for example, depalletize inbound inventory on a first shift and palletize outbound orders on a second shift.

• Linde Scalable Forklift Automation is a mobile automation solution for low-level order picking using automated guided forklifts for horizontal and vertical transport. These forklift solutions are highly scalable and can be adapted to the specific requirements of each operation.

• Dematic Mobile Automation is a family of systems for automated load transport within a facility. Automated Guided Vehicle Systems (AGVs) and Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) offer maximum operational flexibility in load movement requirements as well as scalability for growth.

• Linde Series 1252 Electric Counterbalance Truck is an electric-motor truck that combines the robust operation of trucks with internal combustion motors with the benefits of traditional electric trucks.
