JBT supplies automatic guided vehicle (AGV ) systems providing unmanned, routine movement of materials to support facility operation. AGV systems are used in manufacturing plants and warehouses to store, retrieve, and deliver materials, and move work in process and finished goods and remove waste.
In addition to providing attendees access to its exhibitors, IntraLogisteX’s agenda has been accredited by The Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport allowing attendees to keep up with their professional qualifications. Attendees of IntraLogisteX will gain five CPD hours for each of the exhibition’s two days.
A number of leading equipment suppliers have signed up for IntraLogisteX, with more signing up for the exhibition, which will include a host of special zones and pavilions highlighting different aspects of intralogistics:
• AMHSA members will be highlighting innovations in automated handling and storage.
• There will be a comprehensive seminar programme focusing on critical issues in intralogistics operations.
• Demonstration zones will highlight the latest technology in action.
• And a special feature for 2015 will be a “Future Zone” demonstrating cutting-edge technologies that will impact on intralogistics in the years to come.
When:
Wedesday, 25th March 2015
Thursday, 26th March 2015
Investment in the logistics market is being driven by a number of factors: the shortage of quality warehousing; e-commerce; omni-channel; and a reviving economy – particularly for 2015. With new warehouses comes storage and materials handling; add e-commerce into the equation and the solutions become more complex.
IntraLogisteX can call on the support of the most respected magazines in the logistics and supply chain markets: Logistics Manager and Supply Chain Standard.
