ATLANTA, GA – KNAPP North America, the Kennesaw-based leader in value chain innovation, is set to transform the Georgia World Congress Center this April. From April 13–16, KNAPP will showcase its latest advancements in AI-driven warehouse robotics at MODEX 2026 (Booth B13119, Hall B).
As Atlanta continues to solidify its status as the “Supply Chain Capital of the World,” local operators are facing unprecedented pressure for same-day and next-day delivery. KNAPP’s 2026 showcase addresses these challenges head-on, transitioning from traditional automation to “Augmented Operations.”
The Debut of KNAPP Brain: The First AI Layer for Digital Value Chains
The centerpiece of the exhibit is KNAPP Brain, the industry’s first artificial intelligence layer designed specifically for complex distribution networks. Unlike reactive systems of the past, KNAPP Brain unifies the entire value chain—predicting demand surges, optimizing fulfillment center workflows, and streamlining last-mile execution.
“Traditional reactive automation is no longer sufficient,” says Stefan Schober, Principal Software & Automation Consultant at KNAPP. “KNAPP Brain enables systems that learn and adapt in real-time.”
AeroBots: Award-Winning 3D Robotics in Action
Visitors to Booth B13119 will witness live demonstrations of the AeroBots—autonomous warehouse robots that move freely in three dimensions. Fresh off winning the “Best Product Award” at LogiMAT 2025, the AeroBot system dynamically picks, stores, and retrieves goods with unmatched efficiency.
For high-throughput environments common in Atlanta’s big-box corridors, KNAPP will also highlight:
- Evo Shuttle 2D: High-performance vertical and horizontal movement.
- Evo Shuttle 1D: Optimized for high inventory turnover.
- Next-Gen Bot Storage: A secret new high-performance sequencing system to be officially detailed on March 25, 2026.
Integrated Software: WMS, WES, and SAP Flexibility
Beyond hardware, KNAPP is showcasing a unified software portfolio that integrates Warehouse Management (WMS), Execution (WES), and Control (WCS) systems. Operators can orchestrate their entire facility through KiSoft or SAP® EWM by KNAPP. Notably, the AeroBot system is now fully integrated into the SAP landscape, providing seamless transparency for enterprise-level logistics.
Local Leadership & Global Support
With North American headquarters located just north of Atlanta in Kennesaw, GA, KNAPP is doubling down on regional support. The company will soon launch its MultiSite Control Center, providing real-time, centralized support to reduce unplanned downtime for North American clients.
