Swisslog to highlight the »human side of automation« at MODEX 2024

25.01.2024

Swisslog, leading provider of best-in-class warehouse automation and software, has announced it will be using MODEX 2024 (March 11-14) as a platform to emphasize the human side of automation. Highlights include interactive demonstrations and engaging keynotes that illustrate how Swisslog's solutions enhance operational excellence while maintaining a focus on the human experience within automated processes.

»People transform automation from a collection of technologies into a business asset. That’s why people – our own and our customers’ – are at the center of everything we do,« said Sean Wallingford, President and CEO of Swisslog Americas. »For instance, our people bring deep industry-specific expertise, backed by a collaborative spirit, to every project. That expertise creates value for our customers from solution design through ongoing support and optimization. Our Swisslog colleagues become an extension of our customers’ teams and share in their aspirations, challenges, and successes.«

This appreciation for the human side of automation represents Swisslog's commitment to not just advancing technological frontiers but doing so in a way that considers the human element in logistics. It has resulted in a culture of customer success and accountability, people with deep industry expertise, automation that is easy to use and manage, and satisfied customers at the end of the supply chain.
