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.
Panoramic view in the center aisle
Panoramic view in the center aisle
A central window gives the operator a clear view of obstacles below, pedestrians, and other vehicles when the platform is raised. Crown's newly developed SP 1500 high-level order picker offers significant advantages in terms of worker safety.
Everyone knows that top speed isn't important. Nevertheless, the SP 1500 series offers a respectable top speed of up to 12 km/h. With a reach height of up to 11.2 m and a load capacity of 1.25 t, these robust, intelligently networked forklifts are suitable for a wide range of order picking applications. They meet the constantly changing requirements of e-commerce, wholesale, and retail, and can be used equally well in traditional order picking.
"With the SP Series, Crown takes ergonomics, performance, and efficiency in order picking at height to a new level. Operating comfort and forklift performance allow operators to surpass themselves," says Product Manager Sven Vorreiter.
The new generation of SP Series forklifts offers the operator exceptional all-round visibility – in the direction of travel, as well as up and down. Two additional windows also provide a clear view down into the aisle in the direction of the forks. The optional panoramic canopy improves upward visibility while also reliably protecting against falling objects and debris.

In the operator area, two height-adjustable and individually configurable control units – one facing the drive unit, the other facing the fork – as well as the steering crank with two alternative positions ensure flexibility.
In addition, there's the optionally integrated Work Assist accessory, which supports the operator in a variety of tasks in a dynamic picking environment. Various storage areas for tools, paper, and personal items, as well as charging points for electronic devices, can be easily installed.
"Gena," the operating system that can be optionally integrated with InfoLink Fleet Management, ensures consistent operator orientation. It delivers important data and information clearly and concisely in more than 40 selectable languages on a 7-inch color touchscreen. Customizable widgets display operating hours, steering angle, and battery charge status in real time.
With the optional High Speed Lift function of the 48-volt model, the maximum lifting speed is 0.71 m/s, and the lowering speed is 0.41 m/s. The lowering function is also regenerative as standard.
The patented OnTrac traction control system is standard on all models. When used on wet or dusty surfaces, it reduces wheel spin or slippage during acceleration, reverse deceleration, and braking.
The models with fixed forks are ideal for picking bulky, large items. The trucks with additional lift are particularly suitable for picking orders consisting of many small or heavy items. Bending down and reaching far are rarely necessary. With a wide range of V-Force lead-acid or lithium-ion batteries and the corresponding chargers, various energy solutions are available – tailored to specific application requirements and the existing on-site infrastructure.
The SP Series was nominated for the IFOY Award 2023 (International Intralogistics and Forklift Truck of the Year) in January 2023, even before its market launch.
