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.
ASTAG and GS1 to go green together
The Swiss Commercial Vehicle Association and GS1 Switzerland are merging their "Lean & Green" and "We go green!" initiatives. Both ASTAG and GS1 are embracing sustainability as a triad of economy, society, and the environment.
Interoperability proven
At an " Automation Day " hosted by Agilox, insights into the current status and future direction of the robotics provider were provided, rounded off by workflows that – modeled on real practical processes – demonstrated interoperability with the AMRs together with a Fanuc robot arm and a Palomat.

The coronavirus pandemic has brought many areas of life to a standstill – the air freight sector is booming. DHL has just ordered eight more twin-engine 777 F jets from Boeing. It will be produced in Everett at six assembly stations, largely automated, using automated guided vehicles from Kuka.
The aircraft, says DHL, contribute to the company's sustainability goals: Compared to the older B747-400, the B777's fuel-saving technology reduces CO2 emissions by up to 18 percent. Other factors have recently experienced exorbitant growth rates: "Driven by globalization, digitalization, and high demand during the peak shopping season, grew by more than 40 percent in the fourth quarter," says John Pearson, CEO of DHL Express. "The Boeing 777 (...) contributes to achieving our sustainability goal of zero emissions by 2050."

The long-range jet can transport 102 tons of cargo with a range of 9,200 km . This allows for fuel savings and fewer stopovers.
is expected in the coming years due to the significant increase in demand for new and converted cargo aircraft.
In 1990, the 777 was the first aircraft to be designed 100 percent digitally using three-dimensional computer graphics. Throughout the entire design process, the aircraft was "pre-assembled" on the computer, eliminating the need for a costly full-scale model.
Here is the video about the production process in Everett.
