From April 13 to April 16, 2026, the intralogistics community gathers in Atlanta for MODEX 2026—one of the most important trade shows for supply chain, automation, and material handling in North America. For DAMBACH, this show offers the ideal stage to present sophisticated storage and conveying technology that directly address the growing need for flexibility, density, and throughput in modern warehouse environments.
DAMBACH is a leading independent specialist in ASRS (automated storage and retrieval systems), shuttle systems, conveyor technology, and warehouse control systems (WCS). The company showcases his wide product portfolio designed to maximize space utilization and boost operational efficiency for system integrators, contractors, and warehouse operators.
AXIS² –2D Shuttle System designed for the U.S. Market
A highlight at MODEX 2026 is the presentation of the AXIS² - SYSTEM, a cutting-edge, state-of-the-art shuttle system redefining automated pallet storage– developed specifically for the North American market and engineered in close collaboration with Frazier Industrial Company, a leading U.S. rack manufacturer.
AXIS² key features and meaning:
A = Automation – Automation of processes. The system stands for the fully automated control of material flows and logistics processes
X = Xperience – Over 50 years of experience in automated storage technology.
I = Intelligence – Smart control and software to solve complex tasks efficiently and make decisions in real time.
S = Scalability – The system is scalable and can be tailored to meet customers' requirements and growing business needs.
² = Two-Dimensional Movements – It delivers maximum performance on the X and Z axes. The third Y-axis is covered by vertical conveyors that transport shuttles and unit loads between rack levels.
The system stands out with exceptional interface flexibility. From onboard shuttle control with intelligent collision avoidance, to a powerful WCS featuring smart routing and energy management, all the way to a fully integrated WMS for comprehensive inventory and location management, it delivers seamless performance across every level of warehouse automation.
This joint development ensures perfectly matched interfaces between shuttle and the US manufactured racking system, generating significant cost efficiency and simplified installation for users.
With AXIS², DAMBACH Lagersysteme brings a high‑density, high‑flexibility system to the U.S. market that meets the requirements of industries ranging from grocery and cold chain to manufacturing, automotive, and wholesale distribution.
A Trusted Partner for System Integrators
With one of the broadest product portfolios in the industry – from automated shuttles and SRMs to conveyors and software – DAMBACH Lagersysteme provides neutral, objective guidance to integration partners. This is especially valuable in North America, where integrators face a diverse mix of building profiles, SKU structures, and throughput expectations. “MODEX is one of the most important platforms for our industry. It brings together innovation, technology leaders, and decision-makers from across the global intralogistics and supply chain community,” said Dr. Benjamin Thumm, Managing Director at DAMBACH. “For us, MODEX is not just a trade show—it’s where the future of automated storage and material handling takes shape. DAMBACH is proud to contribute to that future by delivering highly innovative, scalable shuttle solutions that help our customers increase efficiency, flexibility, and long-term performance in their warehouses.”
Knowledge Transfer for a Rapidly Evolving Industry
As the U.S. supply chain continues to undergo rapid transformation – from labor shortages to demands for faster fulfillment – technology decisions must deliver long‑term advantages in performance and adaptability. “Investing in the right automation system today means gaining measurable competitive advantages tomorrow,” emphasizes Jörg Marx, Head of Sales at DAMBACH. “With AXIS², we offer a solution that unites reliability, flexibility, and energy efficiency – built for continuous operation in demanding U.S. warehouse environments.” <
