Last week, two of our team members, Kevin and Jeff, had the opportunity to attend the MHI Spring Meeting — an annual event that brings together professionals from across the material handling industry to network, learn, and collaborate on the future of supply chain innovation. Held in a dynamic and engaging setting, the Spring Meeting offered a wide range of sessions and workshops focused on the latest trends, challenges, and advancements in material handling and automation. For Kevin and Jeff, it was more than just a learning experience — it was a chance to connect with industry peers, gain fresh insights, and better understand how MHI is supporting companies like ours as we continue to grow and innovate. MHI plays a vital role in driving the industry forward, and it was inspiring to see firsthand the organization’s commitment to supporting members through education, advocacy, and collaboration. Topics at the event included workforce development, technology integration, and emerging best practices — all of which align with our own goals at Systems in Motion. Kevin and Jeff returned energized and full of ideas, ready to share what they learned with our broader team. Events like these reaffirm the importance of staying connected, staying informed, and staying curious. We’re proud to be part of the MHI community and grateful for the chance to participate in such a well-organized and meaningful event. Here’s to continued learning, collaboration, and progress in the material handling industry! Give us a call today.1-800-678-9091. Add Your Heading Text Here

Gartner® delivered three key findings in its Industry Wants and Needs Survey, including how companies often struggle with how to approach Warehouse Automation, beginning with choosing the right partner. The other two findings cited a lack of internal robotics knowledge and expertise, and the variation around product specialization.   Gartnerâ began by outlining the three major partner operations: boutique consultants, systems integrators and material handling companies. Recommendations for choosing a partner include:   1.   Aligning strategy among internal stakeholders 2.   Conducting an RFI/RFP process to determine future partner industry focus. 3.   Assessing whether one partner can manage the entire process, or whether divided responsibilities – such as consulting and design, and build/deployment – are best for your project.   In terms of choosing the right partner, the study recommends working with a Systems Integrator if you have some experience with automation and have some idea of the types of systems you prefer.   The study observes there is still significant and growing interest in automation for warehousing, fulfillment and manufacturing environments due to the continued market influencers of:   1.  Labor Issues: mostly labor availability and rising costs. 2.  Solution diversity: citing challenges of overwhelming automation choices and use cases. 3.  Lack of internal experience: noting that most mid-market companies will rely on consultants and Systems Integrators for expertise.   Systems in Motion is proud to be listed in this prestigious report as a representative vendor. Our services lie directly in the sweet spot for most companies – offering both consulting and design/build services.   But it’s what this report doesn’t list that makes Systems in Motion a vendor of choice:   –       Our deep experience in many industries. –       Our passion for helping our customers succeed. –       Our end-to-end solutions, including consulting, design/build, aftermarket services, and one of the most robust on-line parts ordering system available.   Give us a call today to get started on your automation projects. 1-800-678-9091.
