The 16th International Trade Fair for Intralogistics Solutions and Process Management will take place from 13 to 15 March 2018 at the Stuttgart Exhibition Centre and is now regarded as the world's largest trade fair for intralogistics. It offers a complete market overview of everything that moves the intralogistics industry.
International exhibitors will be showcasing innovative technologies, products, systems and solutions for rationalising, optimising and reducing the costs of internal logistics processes, from procurement to production and delivery, right from the start of the year.
The comprehensive provision of information on the topics of Digitisation, Industry 4.0, Logistics 4.0 and Internet of Things (IoT) characterise the qualitatively unique supporting programme on all three days of the trade fair: three serial live events, more than 40 specialist presentations by exhibitors each day in the „Innovations Forum“ and around 30 90-minute lecture series with more than 100 proven experts from business, science and the trade media. They cover the education and information needs of the trade audience on the trend topics that are driving the market today and tomorrow.
„With the motto ‚Digital - Networked - Innovative‘ the trade fair not only outlines the current challenges for intralogistics and the supply chain, but also the range of topics, e.g. the numerous specialist forums“, emphasises Peter Kazander, Exhibition Director LogiMAT and Managing Director of the trade fair organiser EUROEXPO Messe- und Kongress-GmbH, Munich.
Integration of new technologies
The thematic preparation of digitalisation runs like a common thread through the range. AutoID technologies„ and “Indoor localisation systems as the key to Industry 4.0„ are all about intelligent Integration of new technologies in data acquisition and processing. The process of „digital transformation“ itself, the „digital tools for logistics“ and the foundations for optimised cooperation between humans and robots are discussed.
„Transport and handling - autonomous all by itself“ discusses the future requirements of intralogistics material flows with autonomous interlinking of all processes. The options for digital transformation and a future-proof orientation of „Material flows in the age of Industry 4.0“ will also be explored in detail in forums tailored to the various industry segments. The topic of „mobile robot“ can be understood as a synonym for digital transformation as well as all current development trends and future solutions for intralogistics.
