They Call it "The Taco Turn" and it's Genius - Smarter Every Day 315

There's a lot of stuff that gets shipped to your house, and the backbone of logistics is the warehouse.

A warehouse is a very fascinating part of the logistics train. That's where things get stored. That's where something might sit on the shelf.

Maybe it doesn't sit on the shelf. Maybe it goes in one side of the warehouse in a truck, it gets sorted, and it goes out into another truck, and then somehow it ends up at your door.

Warehouses are fascinating, which is why there's this organization called MHI, Material Handling Industry.

They've been asking me to speak to students at this event every year. And this is the first year I took a camera.

So today what I want to do is I want to introduce you to the world of warehousing logistics and engineering and all the robotics and all the AI and all the stuff that's going into this because it's absolutely fascinating.

It's like getting to peek inside a world that I didn't know I cared about, but once I realized it was a thing, I was like, "Of course there's a dude that does that.

Of course there's a lady that her whole thing is that." It's fascinating. So today on Smarter Every Day, we're gonna go to this really cool event.

It's called MODEX. I don't know what that stands for, but it is a thing in Atlanta where all the people in the world that work on these different logistics tools, they get together and they talk about how to make warehouses run more efficiently, and it's awesome.

Like, it's legitimately amazing. I'm very excited to check it out. So let's just go around, check out the booths, and see what kind of new technology exists in the area of supply chain management.

How's it going? I'm Nick. I'm Destin. What's up, Nick? What do you guys do? So Eurosort has been around.

We specialize in unit sortation. So the split tray would drop product onto one of these lifts here, and then that lift would then determine what destination it needs to go to after that.
