CMES Robotics and Engineering Innovation Unveil AI Parcel Solution at MODEX 2026
CMES Robotics USA, in partnership with Engineering Innovation (EII), will be demonstrating a cutting-edge AI-powered parcel handling solution at MODEX 2026 from April 13 to 16 at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, Georgia. This collaboration combines innovative technologies to create a fully integrated system aimed at revolutionizing parcel sorting and handling in distribution centers.
At the heart of the demonstration is the AI Vision piece picking technology developed by CMES Robotics, which will work in conjunction with EII's renowned Chameleon® Parcel Sorting System. Together, these technologies form a comprehensive automation platform designed to streamline operations by increasing throughput and minimizing manual labor for fulfillment centers.
The live demonstrations at booth B15732 will showcase the capabilities of CMES Robotics’ AI Vision technology, which efficiently identifies and grips parcels of different shapes, sizes, and orientations directly from a gaylord (a large cardboard box) and places each item onto a conveyor system. This advanced integration promises a seamless, high-speed piece picking solution leveraging two potent industry platforms.
“As we unveil this new collaboration, we are providing our customers with a revolutionary tool for automation,” said Don Caddy, CEO of Engineering Innovation. “Our AI-driven picking technology gives customers a chance to automate previously manual processes that were challenging to scale. Partnering with EII through our Chameleon system adds another layer of adaptability and efficiency as business needs evolve.”
President of CMES Robotics USA, Alex Choe, stresses the importance of this development, stating, “By integrating CMES AI Vision with EII’s advanced sorting systems, we are addressing one of the most significant bottlenecks in parcel handling—the labor-intensive task of manually breaking down gaylords and feeding products onto conveyor lines. Our technology allows for automation that can recognize and pick up items without the need for manual programming for each parcel type.”
Individuals attending MODEX 2026 will have the unique opportunity to observe these advanced systems in action, experiencing firsthand the capabilities that are set to redefine efficiency and productivity in logistics and distribution operations. The show, known as North America's premier supply chain and logistics trade show, gathers thousands of industry professionals eager to discover the latest advancements in technology and automation.
For those seeking to elevate their supply chain operations, visiting CMES Robotics and Engineering Innovation at booth B015732 will be an excellent chance to explore how automation can meet the demands of modern parcel processing requirements and the growing complexities of shipping, especially with e-commerce pressures.
In summary, this collaboration between CMES Robotics and Engineering Innovation represents a significant stride towards the future of logistics, enabling organizations to adapt to varied parcel types without additional manual intervention. As MODEX 2026 approaches, the anticipation of witnessing these advanced technologies promises to underscore the ongoing evolution within the industry, showcasing how AI can enhance efficiency and drive innovation across logistics and distribution sectors.
