Attendees are invited to meet the team from Waller Consulting, a DCS company, in the DCS exhibit throughout the show. Additionally, Waller Consulting will present a seminar exploring how to select among integrators, consultants, and OEMs for systems integration partnerships.
Franklin, Tenn. – February 21, 2026 – Waller Consulting, a Designed Conveyor Systems (DCS) company, announced today that its team of senior warehouse and supply chain consultants will be available to meet with attendees during MODEX 2026, April 13–16 at the Georgia World Congress Center. MODEX attendees are invited to connect with the Waller Consulting team in DCS’ Booth 15511 in Hall B to discuss warehouse automation strategy, network design and optimization, government compliance requirements, and supply chain modernization initiatives.
“As supply chains across commercial industries and the government sector face rising cost pressures, labor constraints, and increasing complexity, organizations are turning to experienced, independent consultants to help navigate automation and network transformation decisions,” explained Mark Kidwell, Principal at Waller Consulting.
“At MODEX, the Waller Consulting team looks forward to engaging with operations leaders, program managers, and government contractors,” he continued. “Our team is available to share practical insights drawn from decades of hands-on experience designing and optimizing distribution networks.”
Additionally, Kidwell will present an on-floor educational seminar with Chris James, Director of Sales at KNAPP, and Curt Kincaid, Executive Vice President of Solutions and Growth at DCS. During “Integrators vs. Consultants vs. OEMs: Choosing the Right Partner for Material Handling Success,” the trio will overview the different value propositions associated with engaging each third-party partnership type for automated system design and implementation.
They’ll also offer approaches to evaluate and select the optimal partner model for a given project to maximize return on investment (ROI) and reduce risk. The seminar will be held on Tuesday, April 14 from 1:30 – 2:15 p.m. in Theater A, located on the right-hand wall in Hall C. The session is free for registered attendees of MODEX. Those who are unable to join the seminar can view the slides synced to an audio recording after the show concludes via modexshow.com.
