Tompkins Solutions Unveils Cutting-Edge Supply Chain Innovations at MODEX 2024

Tompkins Solutions, a leading supply chain consulting and material handling integration firm, showcased some of the industry's latest advancements in warehouse automation and robotics at MODEX 2024 in Atlanta.

RALEIGH, N.C. , March 27, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Tompkins Solutions, a leading supply chain consulting and material handling integration firm, showcased some of the industry's latest advancements in warehouse automation and robotics at MODEX 2024 in Atlanta. Visitors had the opportunity to explore Tompkins Solutions' newly redesigned state-of-the-art booth, where the company's team of experts were on-site to discuss industry trends and provide live demonstrations of new technology solutions that are helping companies solve ongoing supply chain challenges.

Key highlights included:

    --  Hybrid, scalable automation solutions: Tompkins Solutions presented an
        example of a hybrid automation solution that offers scalability,
        enabling companies to defer capital spending while achieving optimal
        performance via various automated technologies. Visitors were able to
        view a Geek+ P800 shelf-to-person picking solution feeding directly to
        the induction station of a Tompkins Robotics tSort unit sortation
        system. The marrying of these solutions represents a strategic approach
        to adaptability in the ever-evolving economy and landscape of supply
        chain management.

    --  Semi-automated versus fully automated picking and placement: Attendees
        were able to observe the differences between semi-automated and fully
        automated processes for picking and placing goods within warehouse
        environments. The hybrid setup displayed a human inductor picking items
        from the automated Geek+ shelving units and manually placing them onto
        the automated tSort bots for unit sortation. In many instances, the
        manual induction process can easily be replaced with a robotic induction
        solution, further optimizing a facility's operations.


    --  Robotics integrated with artificial intelligence and 3D vision
        technology: Attendees experienced the synergy between robotics,
        artificial intelligence (AI) and 3D vision technologies, which is
        changing the way warehouses operate by streamlining processes, improving
        accuracy and increasing efficiency. The Soft Robotics mGripAI(TM)
        high-speed picking solution demonstrated how the combination of these
        advanced technologies enables industrial robots to pick a wide variety
        of products previously deemed too diverse for a single robotic cell.
        Observers witnessed how the robotic system utilizes AI and 3D vision to
        detect items, classify them and determine the optimal grasp, allowing
        the robotic arm to select the most effective tooling for picking each
        item type successfully time and time again.
    --  Intelligent software for orchestrating and optimizing warehouse
        operations: Tompkins Solutions gave attendees a firsthand look at
        Cornerstone WES, the company's new comprehensive programmable logic
        controller (PLC), warehouse control system (WCS) and warehouse execution
        system (WES) product offering. Powered by Softeon, the robust,
        vendor-agnostic platform enables orchestration across automated and
        manual technologies and processes. Attendees had the opportunity to
        explore a variety of Cornerstone's capabilities, including optimized
        wave and waveless batch management, picking, packing, print & apply, and
        diverting, among others.

"As companies continue to struggle with space and labor limitations, these flexible automation solutions provide a cost-effective way to scale logistics operations to meet current and future demands," said David Latona, CEO of Tompkins Solutions. "We were thrilled to demonstrate the various types of technologies that will play a pivotal role in helping companies overcome obstacles and achieve long-term success."
