Attend Our MODEX Session on Boosting Warehouse Worker Productivity

Written by Iris Huang | Feb 21, 2024

Barcoding, Inc. will be hosting a session at MODEX 2024 on empowering distribution centers to leverage the power of mobile technology and wearables to combat labor shortages, enhance warehouse worker productivity, and encourage innovation within the mobile workforce. An accomplished speaker with 25 years of experience, VP of End User Enablement Ed Kennedy will share strategies, best practices, and innovative solutions with showgoers.

By 2025 the warehouse sector is expected to double in revenue, growing into a nearly $8.7 billion industry. This accelerated growth will expedite current challenges such as worker shortages and the expectation to increase warehousing agility. Addressing the industry’s rapid growth, Kennedy’s session, "Boosting Warehouse Worker Productivity and Satisfaction," will concentrate on enhancing warehouse staff’s productivity while prioritizing workplace well-being.

Kennedy has an innate understanding of the millennial workforce and its dependence on technology. With millennials projected to comprise 75% of the global workforce by 2025, employers will face increasing pressure to enhance onboarding processes, modernize workspaces, and integrate automation. Kennedy’s session will educate participants on strategies that enhance employee satisfaction, foster motivation, boost productivity, and facilitate long-term careers within the organization.

The new generation of warehouse workers have vastly different expectations from their past counterparts. Part of their motivation is tied to technology and automation, both of which we are immensely passionate about and it links directly back to our PPT (people, process, technology) approach.”
Ed Kennedy, VP of End User Enablement, Barcoding, Inc.

The MODEX session is a must-attend for those in supervisory, managerial, or team lead roles and looking to up-level their current onboarding processes in warehouses and distribution centers. Attendees can join Kennedy's session, "Boosting Warehouse Worker Productivity and Satisfaction," at 3:45 p.m. on March 12th in Theater D.
