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.
Billions for the US Postal Service
Billions for the US Postal Service
The costs are roughly equivalent to those of the next moon mission: The US Postal Service (USPS) plans to invest approximately $9.3 billion to make at least 45,000 of the 66,000 new delivery vehicles scheduled to enter service by 2028 electric. Postal Service CEO Louis DeJoy announced this in Washington.
A total of $3 billion, already approved by Congress, will be used by the federal government to modernize the Postal Service's fleet, which currently numbers 220,000 vehicles. The electric delivery vehicles are so-called Next Generation Delivery Vehicles (NGDVs), prototypes of which have already been unveiled. DeJoy said: "The $3 billion provided by Congress has significantly reduced the risk associated with accelerating the implementation of the nationwide infrastructure we need to electrify our delivery fleet. While the majority of electric vehicle funding will continue to come from Postal Service revenues, we are grateful for the trust Congress and the Administration have placed in us to make what is expected to be the largest electric vehicle fleet in the nation a reality."

"What may be less well known is the fact that our modernization initiative is urgently needed to enable this electrification, which will also lead to significant cost and CO2 reductions. A key focus of our modernization efforts is to reduce inefficient transport and improve distribution processes, resulting in far less air freight and far fewer truck journeys."
