SAN DIEGO – Feb. 27, 2020 - ForwardX Robotics, an award-winning innovator in the AI & Robotics fields, announced today it will demonstrate the world’s only Computer Visionbased Autonomous Mobile Robot fleet at MODEX 2020, the largest international supply chain expo in North or South America, from March 9th-12th. Following the opening of ForwardX’s U.S. headquarters in San Diego and its international test center in Phoenix, MODEX 2020 also marks the official launch of ForwardX’s cuttingedge solutions for logistics, manufacturing, and retail in the Americas.
“Shifting consumer demands continue to drive huge changes in logistics, manufacturing, and retail businesses. With shorter life cycles in manufacturing, and the rise of omnichannel retail and e-fulfilment in logistics, flexible and collaborative automation solutions are all-the-more necessary to supplement the human workforce. ForwardX’s visual AMR allows our clients to adapt quickly in highly dynamic environments with rapid deployment for greater uptime,” says Nic Temple, VP of Sales Americas for ForwardX Robotics. “In 2019, roughly 40,000 mobile robots were sold worldwide, yet the expectation is for our market to grow tenfold over the next three years, with a predicted revenue of $10.5 billion USD in 2023.”
Boasting impressive industry-firsts with its 2-Year Free Warranty* and Pay When You Achieve ROI campaigns, ForwardX is set to make its mark during MODEX at Booth 1207 with a live interactive demonstration starting at 2pm on March 9th. Furthermore, the ForwardX team will hold recurring demonstrations to showcase its cutting-edge solutions, displaying what makes its technology top-of-the-range and sharing successstories from its installations in the logistics, manufacturing, and retail markets abroad.
