Dates: April 13–16, 2026   
Location: Georgia World Congress Center, Atlanta, GA   
Booth: C14593, Hall C

MODEX 2026 is the supply chain industry’s most anticipated trade show of the year — and if warehouse automation is on your agenda, Booth C14593 belongs at the top of your visit list. Rapyuta Robotics returns to this year’s MODEX trade show with two fully upgraded, live-running systems: the Rapyuta ASRS (Automated Storage and Retrieval System) and the Rapyuta PA-AMR (Pick-Assist Autonomous Mobile Robot)

MODEX 2026: Where Supply Chain Leaders Come to Find Real Answers 

MODEX is where the global supply chain community gathers every two years to evaluate emerging technologies, compare solutions, and make decisions that will shape their operations for years to come. For 2026, the conversations on the trade show floor are converging around one core question: how do you build a warehouse that can actually keep up? 

Keep up with rising ecommerce order volumes, tightening SLAs, and a shrinking labor market is becoming increasingly difficult for fulfillment operations. Worker fatigue – a factor often underestimated in logistics planning – costs companies thousands of dollars per employee annually through reduced output, picking errors, and safety incidents. 

Most fulfillment operations leaders we speak with at trade shows aren’t asking whether to invest in warehouse automation anymore. They’re asking the harder questions: 

  • How do we increase throughput without expanding our building footprint? 
  • How do we protect SLAs as order profiles grow more complex and fragmented? 
  • How do we scale for peak demand without committing to rigid infrastructure or permanent headcount? 

Rapyuta Robotics has engineered its entire MODEX 2026 exhibit around these exact questions — with live systems that demonstrate real answers. 

Rapyuta ASRS: Modular & Flexible Storage Solution  

The Rapyuta ASRS tackles the most persistent warehouse automation challenge: doing more with the space, labor, and infrastructure you already have. Unlike static, conveyor-heavy systems, the Rapyuta ASRS is a continuously orchestrated, goods-to-person fulfillment system that adapts in real time to changing order profiles, SKU velocity, and demand fluctuations — exactly the kind of flexibility modern fulfillment operations require. 

What Makes Rapyuta ASRS Stand Out at MODEX 2026 

  • Simultaneous Multi-Bin Delivery Traditional ASRS solutions present one bin at a time, creating bottlenecks at the picking station. Rapyuta ASRS delivers multiple bins simultaneously, enabling multi-SKU orders to be completed in a single continuous flow. The result is less operator idle time and more stable throughput – even during peak demand. 
  • High-Density Storage That Doesn’t Sacrifice Accessibility: As SKU counts grow and warehouse floor space tightens; slotting efficiency becomes a critical fulfillment constraint. Rapyuta’s multi-floor, high-density rack design maximizes storage capacity while keeping every bin directly reachable without trade-offs on access speed or pick cycle time. 
  • Fewer Touchpoints, Faster Fulfillment Cycles: Bins move directly from storage to picking stations via autonomous robots and elevators – eliminating intermediate conveyors and mechanical handoffs. In logistics terms, fewer transfer points means fewer failure modes, less downtime, and shorter fulfillment cycles end to end. 
  • Real-Time Supply Chain Intelligence: The ASRS control layer continuously reprioritizes work based on order urgency, SKU velocity, and live station availability. Fast-moving SKUs stay closest to picking; urgent orders move first; picking capacity rebalances automatically as demand shifts throughout the day. 
  • Non-Intrusive, Modular Deployment: The anchorless modular architecture allows installation inside existing warehouse facilities without structural changes. Piece picking operations can expand, reconfigure, or relocate the system as business needs evolve — no long-term infrastructure lock-in. 
  • Built-In Error Prevention: Projection guidance directs pickers to the exact item, while integrated sensors validate every pick and halt the process on detection of an error — before a mis-pick becomes a costly failure downstream. 

Rapyuta PA-AMR: Human-Robot Collaboration That Solves the Warehouse Labor Problem 

In piece-picking environments, associate fatigue is one of the most underappreciated risks. Long travel distances between picks, complex scan-and-search routines, and physical strain accumulate throughout every shift – eroding accuracy and output over time. The Rapyuta PA-AMR is built to absorb that burden, so your workforce doesn’t have to. 

Proven Warehouse Automation Performance 

Rapyuta PA-AMR deployments consistently deliver measurable gains that fulfillment leaders care about: 

  • Up to 50% reduction in total walking distance — 60% reduction in long-haul travel, 40% in short-distance movement 
  • Up to 2x increase in picking productivity in real-world warehouse workflows, without adding headcount 
  • Over 30% reduction in search and scan time through visual pick guidance and integrated scanning hardware 

Why PA-AMR Changes the Warehouse Automation Equation 

Instead of requiring workers to push carts, memorize pick sequences, and battle physical fatigue across wide warehouse floors, the PA-AMR handles travel and coordination autonomously. The robot follows the workflow – associates stay focused on accurate picking. 

New warehouse staff can reach full picking proficiency in roughly one hour, dramatically lowering the cost of onboarding and enabling picking operations to flex their workforce quickly during seasonal peaks. Because the PA-AMR fleet scales dynamically, operations can expand robot capacity for peak demand and contract after -without permanent headcount commitments or rigid labor contracts. 

At MODEX 2026, Rapyuta will unveil a new PA-AMR feature engineered to take piece-picking accuracy to the next level. It will be revealed live at the trade show booth – details on-site only. 

Your MODEX 2026 Experience at Booth C14593 

The Rapyuta MODEX 2026 exhibit is designed to give supply chain professionals a hands-on, practical look at warehouse automation in action. Both the ASRS and PA-AMR will run continuous live demonstrations throughout all four days of the trade show. 

At Booth C14593, you can: 

  • Watch Rapyuta ASRS retrieve bins, queue them at picking stations, and process orders in real time 
  • Step into the PA-AMR demo as an active picker and experience human-robot collaboration firsthand 
  • Consult with Rapyuta’s solutions team about how these warehouse automation systems apply to your specific layout, order volume, and picking operations growth plans 
  • Book a pre-scheduled session for deeper, one-on-one analysis of your operation 

Whether you’re beginning your warehouse automation journey or comparing enterprise-grade warehouse automation solutions ahead of a deployment decision, the Rapyuta booth delivers the evidence and expertise to move the conversation forward. 

Who Should Visit Rapyuta at MODEX 2026? 

This trade show exhibit is built for supply chain and warehouse operations professionals who need more than a product pitch – they need actionable insight. You should make time for Booth C14593 if: 

  • Warehouse throughput is constrained but footprint expansion isn’t viable 
  • Labor costs, availability, or turnover are becoming a recurring fulfillment and distribution problem 
  • Picking errors and order rework are eating into SLA performance and margins 
  • You need to absorb peak demand surges without proportional headcount growth 
  • You want warehouse automation that adapts to your operation — not the other way around 

Demand for demo sessions and solution consultations at the booth is expected to be high. Pre-booking your slot ensures dedicated, focused time with the Rapyuta team – and a much more useful MODEX 2026 experience. 

Come with your warehouse automation questions. Leave with a concrete picture of what’s possible for your warehouse operations. 

See you at MODEX 2026.
