The Automated Material Handling Systems Association (AMHSA) has 65 members, who between them provide the lion’s share of solutions in the UK warehouse automation sector. By distributing market intelligence, participating in training workshops, attending networking events and collaborating on customer projects, AMHSA and our members facilitate the sharing of best practice across the industry.
Promoting automation
AMHSA continues to promote the many benefits of intralogistics automation across diverse sectors. Automated systems are able to solve some of the most challenging issues in intralogistics today – such as labour scarcity, fulfilling e-commerce orders cost-effectively and building resilience in supply chains.
FEM launches AIV group
AMHSA members are participating in a new initiative launched by FEM (the European Materials Handling Federation) – a working group examining standards for Autonomous Intralogistics Vehicles (AIVs). This is an exciting opportunity for manufacturers of AGVs and AMRs to engage in technical cooperation and information exchange. The AIV group will be running a statistical survey to capture market trends in Europe regarding navigation technology, handling equipment, loads transported, applications and industries.
Autumn Conference
Our Autumn Conference for members will take place on Wednesday 20 November in the Cromwell Suite of The Three Swans Hotel in Market Harborough. AMHSA members are invited to reserve their place and find more details on the Events page of our website.
