At MODEX 2026 in Atlanta, AI didn’t just show up — it ran the floor. Watching it work raised a quieter question: when warehouse hazards stop being visible, where does technical documentation stand? These are notes from the floor — and the case for what documentation has to become. On the Floor Walking into the […]

Documentation modernization matters because a service manual now shapes product quality, work efficiency, and legal safety as much as the product itself does. Hansem Global’s task force recently visited a global forklift manufacturer’s North American operation in Georgia to discuss collaboration on service manual modernization.
