AutoStore for the Belgian Railways
The Sociéténationale des chemins de fer belges (SNCB) is in the process of establishing a central hub in Mechelen for components and spare parts for the maintenance, repair, and modernization of its rail fleet. Dematic is contributing a high-bay warehouse with 48,000 pallet spaces and an AutoStore system.

The perfect solution for claustrophobia
While many suppliers only offer their components in fixed packaging units, Automation24 also delivers evenaSSI storage lifts, put-to-light and WAMAS integration – and without requiring any additional storage space.

Top retrofit of the «World Cup camp»
In 2007, the German women's national football team won the World Cup and Apple presented its first iPhone. For KWM Weisshaar, the year was also marked by the construction of a new multi-story production hall equipped with Kasto's Unigrip buffer storage system. A retrofit was now underway, which was implemented smoothly.

Kemaro establishes US subsidiary
“The USA is no longer an experiment; it is our next major revenue driver”says Kemaro, the Eschlikon-based manufacturer of cleaning robots. The company has already sold over 1,500 robots to more than 600 industrial customers worldwide. With $5 million in fresh capital, it now aims to enter the next phase of its expansion.

Pallet market under pressure
Circulating in the millions, Euro pallets are an integral part of everyday life in industry, trade, and logistics. However, A and B grade pallets are becoming increasingly scarce, warns the logistics provider Dachser. This has repercussions for costs, planning reliability, and delivery capacity along the entire supply chain.

Large containers for the «Jaguar»
At Claas in Bad Saulgau, machines for forage harvesting and headers for the forage harvester, which proudly bears the name "Jaguar," are developed, tested, and manufactured. More staging area was needed at the assembly lines. Bito assisted with the switch to the large SL 86 hoppers.

MAGA in the approach path
German technology remains highly regarded when it comes to rapid material handling, the elimination of weaknesses, and service quality. Following successful projects in Oklahoma and Texas, the steel trader "Steel and Pipe Supply" (SPS) in Kansas City once again relied on Kasto saws and storage systems.

Rent warehouse equipment instead of buying it
Bito is launching an offensive with an economical alternative for companies that want to re-equip, expand, or temporarily supplement their warehouse and production areas, but don't want to tie up their capital long-term: renting instead of buying is the motto. The advantages – especially in "dynamic times" – are obvious.

A foray into drive technology
Safelog, the specialists for software for controlling intralogistics processes, have entered into a cooperation with the drive experts from SEW Eurodrive at LogiMAT in order to jointly develop a high-performance software for controlling mobile and stationary processes in intralogistics.

Idealworks pushes into the US market
Idealworks, part of the Munich-based Agile Robots Group, with more than 1,700 AMRs and AGVs worldwide and one of the pioneers in industrial automation through AI in robot-controlled logistics processes, has founded a US company headquartered in Greenville, South Carolina.

Hanging and hauling in Melbourne
Following a thorough planning, construction, and implementation phase with SSI Schäfer, the clothing and homeware supplier Hanes Australasia expanded omnichannel distributioncenterits on the fifth continent. After 12 months, it is clear that it was the right solution – both now and in the future.

«PortScale» weighs in real time
Kardex celebrates the market launch of «PortScale», a weighing solution for AutoStore ports that combines technologies such as the Kardex IntuitivePickingAssistant (IPA), barcode scanning, and computer vision to support precise and efficient picking processes.

Full capture upon passage
An industrial image processing startup called "invisium" is launching "VisionPort embedded," a range of stationary, multifunctional scanning systems. These multi-camera solutions can measure and count transport loads as they pass through, scan codes, read labels, and identify damage.

Instead of rigid conveyor technology
Rigidly installed conveyor systems and loops – or a fleet of intelligently controlled mobile robots that move load carriers weighing up to 50 kg in a material flow that can be scaled or rerouted as required? SSI Schäfer's FastBots adapt flexibly to the respective conditions.

Intralogistics segment is growing
People always drink, and thirst isn't simulated. However, bottling plant specialist Krones is now also using digital twins – also in cooperation with NVIDIA – for plant planning. The company achieved 7% growth and €5.66 billion in revenue last year.

«Agility» with the pallet shuttle
«AgileStore» is the next generation of automated pallet shuttle systems from Swisslog, designed for maximum space utilization, flexibility, and throughput in high-density pallet high-bay warehouses. The system will definitely be worth a look at LogiMAT.
