Automation insight is just a click away

摘要

There's a significant trend that has been unfolding over the first half of the year that's given me hope that the economy has finally turned the corner: Professionals representing all facets of supply chain management are starting to step out of their facilities and offices to attend live trade shows and events. For me, it started in February when 20,000 attendees descended on Atlanta to visit Mo-dex. And the good news continues to unfurl month after month as the staff of Modern Materials Handling and our sister publications report back from conferences and shows in all corners of the country. Attendance is finally picking up, and the buzz surrounding facility investment, automation upgrades and future planning are generally upbeat.
