| Summary: The 2D barcode migration project operates as a data initiative that extends beyond its purpose of upgrading labeling systems. The implementation of advanced barcode systems reveals deficiencies in the management of data ownership and established standards and governance procedures. The organization must implement organized procedures for selecting and validating data to create and operate systems that will maintain their performance across different environments. |
The supply chain industry is experiencing its fastest transition period in history. The industry now operates through intelligent warehouses that connect manufacturing plants and use real-time information to manage their delivery processes.
MODEX is North America’s premier supply chain and material handling exhibition space, which showcases the latest industry innovations. The event takes place April 13–16, 2026, at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, bringing together more than 1,000 exhibitors and tens of thousands of supply chain professionals exploring the latest technologies shaping logistics, manufacturing, and distribution.
MODEX provides a unique opportunity to see advanced technologies used by industry specialists who demonstrate operational solutions for companies that handle inventory and asset management across complex systems.
Lowry Solutions presents a range of integrated technology solutions through partnerships and platforms, which create operational transparency to address one of today’s most critical business challenges.
At MODEX 2026, Lowry will showcase unified asset tracking platforms and enterprise mobility management solutions because they deliver essential benefits to supply chain executives.
The Industry Challenge: Visibility in a Complex Supply Chain
Supply chains have grown significantly more complex over the past decade. Organizations now operate across multiple warehouses, global distribution networks, and thousands of assets, all while meeting increasing fulfillment expectations.
Common challenges continue to impact performance:
- Labor shortages
- Rising operational costs
- Inventory inaccuracies
- Equipment downtime
- Lost or misplaced assets
Without reliable tracking systems, even small visibility gaps can cause major disruptions. Teams spend time searching for equipment, inventory discrepancies lead to stock issues, and unmanaged mobile devices reduce productivity.
Lowry Solutions uses this method to present its solution at MODEX.
What Lowry Is Showcasing at MODEX 2026
The Lowry Solutions demonstration at MODEX 2026 will show organizations how to create fully connected operations by using data capture and IoT tracking, enterprise mobility, and device management solutions. The booth experience will demonstrate its main concept through three tracking capabilities.
Visitors will see how hardware and software, and mobility solutions, combine to create operational visibility from warehouses to manufacturing facilities and distribution networks. The key solutions we will present throughout this session are outlined here.
Key Technologies Featured at the Lowry Booth
Sonaria: Turning Tracking Data into Actionable Insight
Sonaria serves as the central asset tracking platform, bringing together data from RFID readers, barcode scanners, GPS asset tracking, Bluetooth, and IoT sensors into a single system.
Instead of fragmented tracking tools, Sonaria provides a unified, real-time dashboard that allows teams to:
- Track assets and inventory across locations
- Monitor equipment usage
- Automate maintenance schedules
- Receive alerts for unexpected asset movement
- Generate operational analytics
This single interface eliminates manual tracking efforts and improves decision-making across large-scale operations.
Zebra Partnership: Reliable Data Capture at Scale
Lowry’s partnership with Zebra Technologies enables accurate, real-time data capture through barcode scanners, RFID readers, mobile computers, and industrial printers.
These tools ensure seamless data flow across operations—for example, scanning products updates inventory instantly, while RFID automates asset detection. This data integrates directly into Sonaria for complete visibility.
BlueFletch Integration: Smarter Mobility Workflows
The Lowry booth will showcase its main attraction through its partnership with BlueFletch, which develops enterprise Android solutions as an independent software vendor (ISV).
Mobile devices serve as essential tools needed for operational work in both warehouses and manufacturing plants. The process of controlling workflows, together with authentication processes and application performance testing, becomes challenging when organizations need to handle multiple devices.
Key capabilities include secure login, workflow optimization, device monitoring, app deployment, and mobile security—helping organizations streamline operations while maintaining control.
Mobile Device Management: Keeping Operations Running
Mobile devices are essential tools for modern warehouse and logistics teams.
But deploying and managing hundreds, or even thousands, of devices across multiple facilities can quickly become overwhelming.
At MODEX, Lowry will demonstrate how enterprise Mobile Device Management (MDM) solutions simplify device deployment and lifecycle management.
Core capabilities include remote configuration, security enforcement, software updates, troubleshooting, and device monitoring—ensuring devices remain secure and operational while reducing downtime.
42Gears: Scalable Enterprise Device Management
Lowry will also highlight its collaboration with 42Gears Mobility Systems, a global provider of device management solutions.
42Gears technology helps organizations manage large fleets of enterprise devices through a powerful mobility management platform.
The platform supports remote provisioning, kiosk mode, application management, security enforcement, device tracking, and performance monitoring—helping IT teams maintain control while supporting workforce productivity.
How These Technologies Work Together
The real value lies in integration. Rather than isolated tools, Lowry connects technologies into a single ecosystem where hardware, software, and data operate together.
This includes RFID for automated tracking, barcode systems for accurate identification, IoT sensors for monitoring conditions, and GPS for in-transit visibility. When unified, these technologies provide real-time insights and faster response to operational changes.
