FORTNA showcases OptiSweep solution  

FORTNA (Booth B6812) will be showcasing OptiSweep at Modex 2024.


FORTNA (Booth B6812) will be showcasing OptiSweep at Modex 2024. The robotic solution manages small packages that have been sorted into totes and transported by a Geek+ autonomous mobile robot (AMR) to a tipping station, where the packages are tipped into a bag for transportation. 

As worker availability continues to be challenging, distribution and parcel operations are searching to automate repetitive and physically draining tasks to make them more efficient, accurate and less dependent on labor.

FORTNA software coordinates with sorter logic and the automatic guided vehicle (AGV) module, eliminating the need for operators to travel between destinations. This solution gives companies the opportunity for significant savings in labor costs, allowing them to extend operations seamlessly and maintain prolonged runtime without disruptions.

Modex 2024 was held at The Georgia World Congress Center from March 11-14, 2024.
