Not «breath-» but wireless
Bluepath Robotics, an internal innovation project at the Ford subsidiary Otosan, which was spun off at the end of 2023, develops and produces autonomous mobile robots for a wide range of intralogistics applications. Now, Wiferion enables the inductive power supply of the AMRs.
Electric monorail system for Quark & Co
NÖM produces a wide range of dairy products, yogurt, butter, and curd cheese from approximately 450 million kg of milk from 2,200 farmers in the region build a fully automated shipping warehouse with comprehensive conveyor technology for 26,000 pallet spaces.
The fire is left without air
The fire protection specialists of the Wagner Group have been honored with the "GIT Safety Award 2026" for their "OxyReduct F-Line." The system expands the OxyReduct process with H2- based fuel cell technology, which simultaneously ensures emission-free energy supply.
Temperature-controlled at the motorway junction
Movianto, a logistics service provider specializing in pharmaceuticals and healthcare, is setting up a new cold storage facility in Wiesloch-Walldorf this month. A photovoltaic system there produces approximately 3,100 MWh per year, more electricity than the site consumes.
Fusion reactor in creep mode
Despite all the political turmoil currently shaking the world, work on the ITER fusion reactor, in which countless nations are involved, continues – much like on the ISS. Recently, another of the 15-meter-high segments for the future plasma chamber was delivered by heavy-duty transport.
Nonstop strapping
Mosca offers a comprehensive portfolio of integrated end-of-line systems for transport packaging, strapping machines, stretch wrappers, and associated consumables. Strapping made from materials such as PP and PET is produced with increasing recycled content.
Dynamic open-plan area
Relocations often involve considerable effort. Furniture needs to be transported, boxes packed, and unwanted items disposed of. The company " Optimal Umzug " from Lachen, Canton of Schwyz, offers services tailored to the greater Zurich area.
Optio L-Series updated
Developed with the user in mind, the completely redesigned generation of low-level order pickers in the Optio L series from TMHE sets new standards. Increased platform lifting heights, low entry, and versatile model variants for loads up to 2.5 t make these devices highly sought-after helpers.
Cold chain in transition: Ambitious goals
Temperature-controlled logistics is facing an energy revolution: battery-electric trucks, long-range hydrogen vehicles, and cryogenic cooling with nitrogen are transforming the industry. Enough "material" for the SVTL to discuss future processes and alternatives at Galliker in Altishofen.
DLR expands drone defense
While Russian drones have long been surveying German bases and critical infrastructures as potential targets for their “ asymmetric warfare ” a project called CUSTODIAN (Counter-UAS Technologies for Detection, Interception and Neutralization) is now slowly gaining momentum at the DLR.
50,000 came to LogiMAT
50,000 came to LogiMAT
Michael Ruchty, CEO of LogiMAT, concluded that the was a successful restart after a nearly 40-month hiatus the visitor analysis conducted by Basel-based market researchers Wissler & Partner following the largest European gathering of the intralogistics industry in Stuttgart. Around 50,000 trade visitors attended.
With figures similar to pre-coronavirus levels , is seamlessly building on the successes of past events. Under the motto "Smart – Sustainable – Safe," as reported, 1,571 registered exhibitors from 39 countries, including around 393 new exhibitors and 74 renowned suppliers from overseas, presented their latest solutions, systems, and devices for reliable automation and digital transformation. With numerous announced product premieres and world firsts, they also provided significant impetus for efficient, future-proof intralogistics processes. With more than 125,000 square meters of exhibition space across all ten halls, the Stuttgart Exhibition Center was once again fully booked this year.
After a two-and-a-half-year pandemic-related hiatus, 50,000 trade visitors took the opportunity to learn about the latest technologies and their integration into intelligent, future-proof systems, and to compare them directly. At peak times on the second day of the trade fair, 3,000 trade visitors streamed through the turnstiles at the entrance to the exhibition halls within ten minutes.
The focus of interest was particularly on innovations in the product areas of materials handling and storage technology (55.8%), industrial trucks (38.3%), and, at 18.3 percent, automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs).
38.5 percent of visitors traveled more than 300 kilometers to get to LogiMAT. The high level of interest from international trade visitors and exhibitors remained stable. According to figures compiled by the independent Basel-based market research institute Wissler & Partner, one in five trade fair visitors to Stuttgart came from abroad. 73.8 percent of the international trade audience came from outside the EU, 7.9 percent from non-EU countries and 8.3 percent from overseas, Asia and America.
"We are extremely pleased with the figures and the progress of LogiMAT 2022," summarizes Michael Ruchty. "LogiMAT 2022 will continue online on the LogiMAT.digital platform. The 14 informative lecture series from the high-quality supporting program, which took place over the three days in the LogiMAT Arena, will be streamed there in the coming weeks."
The next LogiMAT will take place from April 25 to 27, 2023.
