Charlotte, NC – (March 17, 2026) Murata Machinery USA, Inc. (Muratec USA), a global leader in high-speed, automated logistics and material handling, will bring a fully integrated automation experience to MODEX 2026, held April 13–16 at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta.

At the heart of Muratec’s exhibit is its Integrated Model, an interactive, factory-in-motion demonstration that brings together automated storage and retrieval systems (ASRS), automated guided vehicles (AGVs), robotic picking, and advanced material flow, all working as a unified, flexible solution.

Designed to give visitors an actual “seeing is believing” experience, the Integrated Model shows how manufacturers, 3PLs, and distribution centers can integrate technologies to find their solution, streamline material flow, and improve operational agility.

“Customers come to MODEX looking for clarity and confidence,” said Kazuyuki Uratani, general manager of Muratec USA’s Logistics & Automation Division. “Our Integrated Model makes it easy to visualize how flexible automation can fit into any operation. When you can see the entire system—from storage to picking to transport—you can better understand how the right solution accelerates fulfillment, improves accuracy, and elevates the role of skilled workers.”

A Flexible, End-to-End Approach to “Make It, Move It, Store It, Pick It”

Across industries such as food & beverage, pharma, automotive, battery, and warehouse/distribution center (DC) environments, Muratec designs adaptable automation solutions that give operations the freedom to expand, reconfigure, and scale over time.

By integrating ASRS, Goods‑to‑Person (G2P) systems, AGVs, and sortation technology with existing workflows, Muratec engineers tailor each system for maximum efficiency, long-term reliability, and ease of ownership.

“Every customer’s challenge is different. Our responsibility is to help them choose the solution that truly fits—one that solves today’s needs and still supports tomorrow’s growth,” said Noriaki Nakamura, National Sales Manager for Muratec USA L&A division. “That’s why flexibility is at the core of everything we build.”

Booth B12506 –  Muratec USA’s Featured Technologies

MODEX 2026 attendees will be able to explore Muratec’s automation ecosystem, including:

• Integrated Model: A live, end-to-end demonstration featuring automated cranes, AGVs, and Cimcorp robotic picking systems. This dynamic exhibit illustrates how Muratec synchronizes storage, transport, and picking into a seamless material flow solution—giving attendees a clear, real‑time understanding of how different configurations can support their operational goals.

The Integrated Model always draws a crowd at trade shows.

• Double Reach Shuttle ASRS: A high-density storage solution engineered with an incomparable “double reach” transfer carriage architecture —distinct from traditional double‑deep systems—enabling the shuttle to access greater depths without sacrificing speed. Its ultra-compact design minimizes aisle width while significantly increasing SKU capacity, making it ideal for space-constrained, high-throughput operations. By combining narrow-aisle mobility with high-speed retrieval, the system delivers fast, efficient G2P performance within a highly scalable footprint.

• SHUTTLINER: A high-speed, rail-guided, linear-motor-driven, bidirectional case sortation system for warehousing and manufacturing. It combines transport and sorting, allowing individual carriages to move goods autonomously around a loop, delivering high-speed, quiet, and gentle item handling for increased throughput. Enabling continuous, high-throughput movement to G2P or robotic picking stations, the system supports up to 4,000 combined loads per hour.

Unified Solutions with Cimcorp

Muratec USA will be exhibiting alongside Cimcorp, part of the Murata Machinery Group. Together, the sister companies will showcase the ways Muratec’s expertise in material handling, inventory management, and order fulfillment works in concert with Cimcorp’s advanced warehouse automation and software capabilities—delivering truly unified, end-to-end solutions for complex supply chain environments.
