FANUC America Showcases Innovative Robotics at MODEX 2026

FANUC America is gearing up for a significant presence at MODEX 2026, running from April 13 to 16 at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta. As a premier supplier of CNCs, robotics, and automation solutions, FANUC will exhibit five state-of-the-art robotic systems tailored for the warehousing and logistics sector. This demonstration aims to provide practical and efficient solutions to the pressing challenges faced by supply chain professionals.

The CRX-30iA Mobile Manipulator

One of the central highlights of FANUC’s booth will be the CRX-30iA mobile manipulator. This advanced system is specifically designed to handle palletizing tasks in warehouse, fulfillment, and distribution settings. Notably, the CRX-30iA operates as a fully integrated robotic Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR) solution. It addresses ergonomically challenging tasks that often lead to employee strain, all while ensuring high throughput and efficiency.

Attendees visiting FANUC's booth, located at B8923, will witness firsthand how these technologies can streamline various processes, including box handling, scanning, picking, palletizing, and autonomous material movement. Additionally, these solutions contribute to improved accuracy, increased throughput, reduced physical strain on workers, enhanced safety measures, and a strategic approach to labor shortages in the industry. With AI-enhanced vision and intelligent perception tools, robots can now identify products, adapt to mixed workloads, and make real-time decisions based on their dynamic environment.

Capabilities and Features of the CRX-30iA

The integration of AI-driven perception tools is a game changer, providing capabilities such as:

• - Payload Estimation: Automatically calculates the weight and allows for flexible handling of different box sizes.
• - Box-Locating Vision: Uses advanced vision sensors to locate boxes accurately for seamless processing.
• - Barcode Decision Logic: Utilizes barcode scanning technology to support operational decisions.

The CRX-30iA collaborates with the OTTO 600 AMR, enabling it to efficiently transport multiple boxes simultaneously while also managing the complexities of palletizing and sorting tasks. What’s particularly impressive is the intelligent safety architecture that maintains high-speed operations when the area is clear, automatically scaling back when human workers approach, thus promoting a safer working environment without the need for traditional guarding fences.

Additional Demonstrations at MODEX 2026

In addition to the CRX-30iA, FANUC will showcase three more systems that illustrate innovative applications in logistics and fulfillment:
1. Interactive Box Scanning: Featuring the CRX-10iA collaborative robot, this hands-on demonstration allows attendees to experience the simplicity of CRX programming through a customer-controlled interface.
2. Tote Consolidation: This demonstration, powered by the M-10/12-14D industrial robot, highlights multi-SKU pick-and-place operations using integrated RFID readers and 2D/3D vision systems for intelligent item identification and workflow optimization.
3. Flexible Palletizing and Depalletizing: Showcasing the M-710/50-26D robot, this system utilizes advanced vision sensors and AI to execute complex palletizing and depalletizing sequences, handling various product patterns effectively while ensuring accurate positioning and safe operations.

Conclusion

FANUC’s participation at MODEX 2026 underscores the evolving landscape of supply chain automation. With technological innovations designed to tackle the industry's most significant hurdles, FANUC America’s advanced automation solutions are set to redefine productivity and safety in warehousing and logistics sectors. As Jim Cooper, General Manager of U.S. General Industry Sales at FANUC America, eloquently stated, “Our lineup at MODEX reflects the depth of FANUC's automation portfolio... working together to streamline key warehouse and fulfillment tasks.”
