FANUC America Corp. plans to demonstrate five high-performance robotic systems at MODEX 2026 this month. The company said they will deliver practical, real-world solutions for warehousing, logistics, and supply chain professionals.
“MODEX is where the supply chain industry comes to see what’s next, and FANUC’s products and technologies show how we can help customers solve their toughest fulfillment and logistics challenges,” stated Jim Cooper, general manager for U.S. general industry sales at FANUC America.
“Our lineup at MODEX reflects the depth of FANUC’s automation portfolio — everything from collaborative systems to high‑speed industrial robots — working together to streamline key warehouse and fulfillment tasks,” he added.
FANUC America will exhibit at Booth B8923 in the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta. The company is a leading provider of CNC systems, robotics and ROBOMACHINEs.
The subsidiary of Japan-based FANUC Corp. said MODEX attendees can see its technologies to streamline box handling, scanning, picking, palletizing, depalletizing, and autonomous material movement. Rochester Hills, Minn.-based FANUC America asserted that its products can improve accuracy, boost throughput, reduce physical strain, enhance safety, and help companies address labor shortages.
It added that its AI‑enhanced vision and intelligent perception tools help robots identify products, adapt to mixed workloads, and make real-time decisions in dynamic warehouse environments. The company said its technologies and expertise can help manufacturers in the Americas maximize productivity, reliability and profitability.
CRX‑30iA mobile manipulator to demonstrate palletizing
New to FANUC’s product demonstrations is its mobile manipulator engineered for palletizing in warehouse, fulfillment, and distribution environments. The company said it can take on tasks that typically put physical strain on employees.
The system integrates a heavy-duty CRX‑30iA force- and power-limited robot arm with an OTTO 600 autonomous mobile robot (AMR) from Rockwell Automation. It can deliver high throughput, according to FANUC America.
In the demo, the combined system will pick, weigh, transport, palletize, and sort boxes. The CRX‑30iA will operate at its top collaborative speed, while the AMR can travel up to 2 mps (4.4 mph) to support efficient intralogistics performance.
In addition, AI‑driven perception tools, including payload estimation, box‑locating vision, and barcode‑based decision logic, allow the mobile manipulator to adapt automatically to varied box sizes, pallet conditions, and routing requirements.
The system’s intelligent safety architecture uses area scanners and smart speed control to maintain high‑speed operation when the area is clear. It slows automatically when workers approach, enabling safe, fenceless collaboration, explained FANUC America.
FANUC America plans to show more technologies at MODEX 2026, including:
- A robot‑mounted 3DV/400 sensor for box locating
- CRX‑30iA palletizing from quarter pallets
- Payload estimation and compensation for flexible handling
- The AMR transporting multiple boxes at once and building full pallets
- iRVision barcode scanning for routing, sorting, and verification
- Full repalletizing and depalletizing sequences (quarter pallet to full pallet)
- AI‑assisted perception for dynamic box recognition, accurate positioning, and adaptive palletizing logic
The company said this system will show how cobots and AMRs can streamline intralogistics through flexible box handling, mixed pallet building, and autonomous transport while maintaining safety and efficiency.

FANUC America also plans to display three other systems representing real‑world logistics and fulfillment applications:
Interactive box scanning
FANUC said a hands‑on, customer‑controlled experience featuring the CRX‑10iA cobot will show the ease of CRX programming.
Attendees can use free‑hand teach, drag‑and‑drop programming, and a custom Tablet Teach Pendant interface to teach label inspection and barcode reading using a 3DV/200 vision sensor.
Tote consolidation with a FANUC America industrial robot
The M‑10/12‑14D industrial robot will be part of a multi‑SKU (stock keeping unit) pick‑and‑place demonstration using 2D iRVision cameras to read bin barcodes and a 3DV/600 sensor to find pickable items.
An integrated radio‑frequency identification (RFID) reader will scan products to identify items and consolidate totes. This combination of 2D cameras, 3D vision, and RFID provides an intelligent item‑identification workflow for complex fulfillment environments, said FANUC America.
Flexible palletizing and depalletizing
A palletizing and depalletizing demo will use the FANUC M‑710/50‑26D robot equipped with a 3DV/1600 3D vision sensor and FANUC iPC Box. The company said this enables its AI Box Locator to detect and locate boxes for precise handling.
The vision system can determine pick locations for difficult‑to‑decipher patterns on products. The M‑710/50‑26D then depalletizes and repalletizes product between pallet and conveyors while also handling slip sheets between each layer, explained FANUC America.
