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.
«Kanpai» with sake on the pharmaceutical chain
Logistics provider Yusen is presenting an expanded global platform for the healthcare sector at LogiPharma in Vienna, where companies such as Novartis, Bayer, Takeda, and hospital supplier UCB are currently participating. The platform focuses on the professional delivery of specialized healthcare solutions.
Streamlined logistics
Coop's own rail connection for urban logistics in Zurich, streamlined logistics vehicles and the outsourcing of all operating room logistics in a cooperation between the Seeschau Clinic and the Swiss Post are the projects that are entering the final sprint for this year's Swiss Logistics Award from GS1.
Vacuum technology makes mobility possible
Compressed air has traditionally been used primarily for fixed installations. Schmalz's vacuum grippers also mainly operate with lines that often have to run across halls and facilities. However, mobile robotics increasingly requires flexible solutions – a need that Schmalz now intends to address more effectively.
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.
Networking with perspectives
“Never walk alone” could be the motto of a networking event hosted by the consulting experts from “Adnovum”, where the Digital Product Passport (DPP), cybersecurity and IT opportunities with Petra Merino (GS1 Switzerland) and security expert Andreas Achterholt are on the agenda on May 7th in Zurich.
Maintenance in Austria
With a new workshop in Obersiebenbrunn near Vienna, rail manufacturer Stadler is expanding its capacity for the commissioning, approval, and servicing of modern rail vehicles in Austria. The workshop has been used to maintain Westbahn's high-speed trains since March 2026.
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.
New chain belt sorting
At LogiMAT, conveyor technology provider Interroll attracted attention with a new chain-belt sorting system developed after the acquisition of Sortteq. Together with MCP Play, this creates a material flow ecosystem that combines single-item transport with intelligent sorting.
410 hp with biogas
410 hp with biogas
Two new Scania CNG trucks have now gone into operation Lienhart in They are powered by a powerful six-cylinder in-line engine that runs on pure biogas , thus reducing CO2 emissions by almost 100% compared to previously used vehicles .
Not only is CO2 emissions almost completely eliminated, other road users, as well as residents in densely populated areas, appreciate the significantly reduced noise pollution resulting from the gas-powered engine .
Transport provider Lienhart is a family business, under the management of Felix Lienhart. Over the past decades, they have developed and continuously expanded a broad and customer-oriented range of services. their extensive service portfolio. It's a perfect fit.
Because every restaurant or commercial establishment generates various types of recyclable waste. This includes general household waste, paper, glass, tin cans, and scrap metal; but also food and preparation waste are valuable materials that can be reused through proper sorting and processing. in the areas of crane and grab work include special transport, container cleaning, and our own recycling center.
To meet the ever-increasing demands for sustainable transport solutions for businesses and municipalities, Felix Lienhart decided two years ago to replace two of his four refuse collection vehicles and simultaneously make an active contribution to a sustainable transport solution. At that time, two identical Scania G410 B 6x2*4 NB chassis with environmentally friendly biogas engines were ordered. This was because, back then, electric technology for heavy commercial vehicles was not yet advanced enough and the necessary drive concepts were not yet available.
Based on a fully air-sprung 6x2*4 chassis, a CG17N cab was chosen, offering the driver an excellent compromise between a low entry height for frequent entry and exit, and good visibility in both urban and regional traffic. Thanks to its steerable and liftable trailing axle, the vehicle is also very maneuverable, which is a significant advantage, especially when navigating narrow driveways or commercial entrances.
Modern gas engines are absolutely on par with diesel engines in terms of torque and pulling power , as the impressive torque of 2000 Nm proves anew every day to Lienhart's satisfaction
