Mezzanine Safeti-Gates Extends Safety Gate Line Beyond Elevated Platforms, Exhibits at MODEX in Booth B14615ESSEX, MA — February 25, 2026 — Mezzanine Safeti-Gates, Inc., the inventor of mezzanine safety gates that provide fall protection on elevated pallet drop areas, production platforms, pick modules and pallet flow lanes in distribution centers, warehouses and manufacturing and material handling facilities, announced that it now offers the WorkZone safety gate. A new design, the WorkZone safety gate separates employees from lift trucks and AGVs moving around the ground level in busy material handling and warehousing facilities.In most material handling facilities, machinery like conveyors can obstruct employee sight lines on the ground level. Often employees are unloading material from conveyors and stacking it on pallets in close proximity to lift trucks and AGVs that pick up the completed pallet and move it to a storage or delivery area. The new WorkZone safety gate prevents people from walking into the vehicle path and getting injured by using dual, counterbalanced and interconnected gates to ensure one gate is always in place.“With the rise of unmanned vehicles in material handling facilities, employees face risks at the ground level,” said Aaron Conway, president, Mezzanine Safeti-Gates, Inc. “While our safety gates were originally designed for fall protection, we have seen more need for our safety systems on the ground level to separate stationary work zones from traffic flow. And the dual-gate systems work really well on the ground level, always ensuring a barrier is in place to protect employees. Our safety gates prevent employees from vehicle strikes on the ground level, and falls on elevated levels.”The WorkZone safety gate can be configured in Roly, Open Top, Pivot or Tri-Side designs, and come in standard single-wide and double-wide sizes. All WorkZone safety gates can be manufactured in stainless steel or powder-coated steel and finished in any color. Custom engineering can be obtained for uncommon pallet drop area sizes and or unique applications.Used in thousands of locations throughout the world, safety gate systems offered by Mezzanine Safeti-Gates can be equipped with additional forklift truck ‘operator-assist’ technologies including power, remote operation and radio frequency sensors, product containment netting or steel mesh panels and pallet position indicators.

Honeywell’s SwiftDecoder™ software scans barcodes within warehouses to increase accuracy, improve stock visibility and help maximize labor resourcesCHARLOTTE, N.C., Mar. 13, 2025 - Honeywell (Nasdaq: HON) today announced its SwiftDecoder barcode-decoding software will be integrated into Corvus Robotics’ self-flying inventory drones. This pioneering solution will be used within warehouses and distribution centers (DCs) to make the process of tracking rapidly changing inventory quicker and more accurate for retailers, distributors and manufacturers at the case- and pallet-level.Honeywell’s creation of supply chain solutions that can automate processes for greater accuracy and more efficient use of scarce labor resources supports its alignment of its portfolio with several compelling megatrends including automation.“We selected Honeywell’s SwiftDecoder software for our cutting-edge drones due to the company’s long-standing expertise in the warehousing sector and the software’s ability to efficiently and reliably acquire data, even in complex and fast-moving DC environments,” said Jackie Wu, CEO at Corvus Robotics. “With Honeywell’s software and our in-house proprietary case counting AI technology, we can quickly decode many cases in one location, all at once. Together, Corvus Robotics and Honeywell are empowering warehouses and distribution centers to better manage inventory, reduce operational expenses and streamline the overall flow of goods throughout the supply chain.”The Corvus One™ Autonomous Inventory Management System, equipped with SwiftDecoder software, is able to fly through DCs to conduct inventory audits. It can accomplish this task more quickly than a human could in vast warehouse spaces that often have very high shelves, hard-to-reach racks or products and low-light conditions that can make traditional scanning a challenge. By using computer vision to navigate, scan, map and count inventory in real time, the drones are able to operate without GPS, human operators, Wi-Fi or wireless beacons. This system not only helps ensure warehouses have an accurate picture of inventory, but it also enables companies to deploy limited labor resources in other ways that add greater value to the business.“As the labor shortage continues to plague the supply chain, we know that companies are looking for solutions to supplement their human workforce,” said David Barker, president of Honeywell Productivity Solutions and Services. “By automating inventory counting and providing real-time data, the Honeywell-Corvus Robotics solution will help retailers keep up with growing demand and complexity, reduce inventory discrepancies and errors and improve overall supply chain performance.”Honeywell’s SwiftDecoder software can batch scan to capture many barcodes at the same time, making it optimal for integrating with autonomous drones for rapid inventory counting. This capability, coupled with Corvus One’s proprietary onboard sensors and cameras, equips the Corvus One Autonomous Inventory Management System with the ability to count the number of individual cartons in a single location. The real-time data that is captured and processed with the combined Honeywell-Corvus Robotics solution allows for immediate insights into stock levels and case counts, which helps businesses make informed decisions quickly, respond proactively to any supply chain disruptions and maintain operational continuity.For more information on Honeywell’s automation solutions across the supply chain, visit: automation.honeywell.com.About HoneywellHoneywell is an integrated operating company serving a broad range of industries and geographies around the world.

ROCHESTER HILLS, MI – (Feb. 23, 2024) – FANUC America, the leading supplier of CNCs, robotics and ROBOMACHINEs will showcase its automation solutions designed to help companies’ future proof their supply chain at MODEX 2024 in Atlanta, March 11-14, booth #B-4026. CRX Cobot Demonstration - Order Fulfillment FANUC CRX cobots combined with a Locus AMR and Vision technology will demonstrate a highly flexible autonomous solution for order fulfillment that can be easily scaled up or down. Visitors using a Tablet TP will select from a variety of consumer items to pick orders. One of two CRX-10iA cobots with an iRVision® 3DV/200 vision sensor mounted on its arm scans QR codes on a shelf to confirm that correct products are picked, and finds the items to transfer them to a bin on a table. Next a CRX-20iA/L cobot also uses an iRVision 3DV/200 vision sensor to locate a full bin on the order table and place it on a Locus autonomous mobile robot (AMR). The cobot then finds an empty bin on the AMR and places it on the order table. The AMR moves from the order fulfillment area to the shelving side where the CRX-20iA/L picks an empty bin from the table and places it on the AMR and moves the full bin to a table. The CRX-20iA/L uses iRVision to scan QR codes on the bins and to locate the AMR. It also communicates with the AMR to let it know when it has finished swapping empty bins and full orders, and the AMR tells the CRX when it’s in the correct position. Finally, a second CRX-10iA with a fixed iRVision 3DV/600 vision sensor locates and picks products from the full bin, then scans each item according to its RFID tag and places it back on the correct shelf. The CRX-20iA/L can pick consumer items of varying sizes and shapes that weigh up to 20kg. The demonstration highlights its wide motion range and ability to handle small or large bins, relieving workers from physically demanding and repetitive jobs. CRX Cobot Demonstration - Vertical Put Wall FANUC’s Power Motion i Model A Plus (PMi-AP) will move a tool to random or user-specified locations on a put wall. Attendees can choose which bins to get items from and then the tool pulls the sequence of bins from the put wall and moves them to a conveyor belt for the CRX to access the bin. When a wall bin arrives at the access point, a FANUC CRX-10iA will pick an item and place it in an order fulfillment bin. An order is fulfilled once an item has been picked from each selected wall bin. Once an order has been fulfilled, the put wall system will bring the bins back to the CRX access point. The CRX then picks items from the order fulfillment bin and places them back into the appropriate put wall bins until each one has been restocked. Automated put walls are easy to deploy and scale, helping warehouses and distribution centers improve productivity by increasing order fulfillment, and decreasing labor costs. The PMi-A, which offers CNC-style motion control for automated assembly and other applications, integrates seamlessly into virtually any production system using ethernet connection for easy communication between robots and machines. Users who trust FANUC’s reliable control and servo technology along with overall support for machine tools, can expect the same performance and value in general purpose motion control. CRX Interactive A CRX-10iA demo showcases the cobot’s ease of use. Customers can program the robot and experience it firsthand. FANUC LR-10iA/10 Robot: Vision-Guided Retail Induction A FANUC LR-10iA/10 robot guided by an iRVision 3DV/400 vision sensor mounted over the work cell will pick various bagged clothing items from a tote and drop them onto a conveyor belt to demonstrate retail induction. The system demonstrates the speed and accuracy of robotics in retail and logistics. Automated Palletizing/Depalletizing with FANUC M-710iD/50M The new FANUC M-710iD/50M, combined with two iRVision 3DV/1600 vision sensors and the FANUC iPC, will use the iPC’s AI Box Detection software to locate boxes within stock carts. Once located, the M-710iD/50M will depalletize boxes from one cart and utilize PalletTool to palletize them on the opposite cart. Once a cart is empty, the process will be repeated by depalletizing and palletizing back to the original stock cart. The tall stock carts highlight the advantage provided by the M-710iD/50M’s curved arm. FANUC’s AI-driven iPC enables high-performance advanced picking in challenging lighting conditions to ensure seamless, reliable depalletizing. iPC is a major benefit for this demonstration because the boxes have patterns that are difficult to segment and determine edge locations. Built-in Intelligence FANUC offers application software for packaging and palletizing, integrated iRVision® and tracking features, ROBOGUIDE simulation, Dual Check Safety (DCS), and Zero Down Time (ZDT) to help customers monitor and manage their automation.
