The MHI Innovation Awards provide valuable insights on the
latest manufacturing and supply chain innovative products and
services. Out of 193 submissions for this year's awards, a panel of
industry experts selected Slip Robotics as the winner for the Best
New Innovation for a new product not offered before by any
company.
SlipBots are the first and only solution that enables anyone to
auto-load and auto-unload any truck in just 5 minutes with no
additional infrastructure – delivering speed, safety, and savings
upon arrival at any dock in last-mile freight, manufacturing
operations, and middle-mile logistics.
“Loading docks are a vital part of any operation, but the speed
and throughput of dock operations hasn’t increased in over 50
years. We are thrilled that industry leaders recognize that
SlipBots offer a unique solution to unblock these dock
bottlenecks,” said Chris Smith, CEO of Slip Robotics.
Many Fortune 2000 companies, including John Deere, GE
Appliances, Nissan, and Valeo, are using SlipBots to improve their
dock operations. SlipBots have increased dock throughput by 300%,
reduced truck and trailer idle time by 91%, reduced labor downtime
costs by 85%, reduced total freight damage by 40%, and even
increased total facility output by 20% by freeing up productive
space in the facility.
“We are grateful for being recognized as the Best New Innovation
at MODEX 2024, and we were excited to show thousands of visitors to
our booth how anyone can use SlipBots to load and unload trucks in
5 minutes with the click of a button,” said Jordan Sanders, Chief
Commercial Officer.
SlipBots were on display and used in live demonstrations at the
Slip Robotics booth at MODEX 2024. Attendees were given the
opportunity to operate the bots themselves, and they loaded and
unloaded approximately 4,790 pallets during the show.
