In March, the intralogistics industry will come together in Stuttgart for LogiMAT. In addition to an extensive supporting programme, various exhibitors have planned premieres of their products and solutions.
Under the motto „SHAPING CHANGE TOGETHER - Sustainability - AI - Ergonomics“, the LogiMAT 2024 will bring international intralogistics experts to the Stuttgart Exhibition Centre from 19 to 21 March. The ten exhibition halls and the East and West entrance areas will once again be fully booked early on and will showcase more than 1,500 exhibitors from 40 countries The latest product developments and solutions for efficient intralogistics and digitalisation will be presented to international trade visitors on 125,000 square metres of exhibition space. Around 150 companies will be represented at LogiMAT for the first time. With a quota of around 35 per cent, this year will also see Every third exhibitor from abroad.
With the current claim, the Munich-based trade fair organiser EUROEXPO Messe- und Kongress-GmbH is equally current trends and the exhibitors' range of products and services for intralogistics from.
„The majority of the world's leading developers, manufacturers and solution providers will be focussing on at least one of the three key topics with their exhibits at LogiMAT. The spectrum ranges from the automation and digital transformation of business processes to counter the shortage of skilled workers and labour, to energy-saving options and efficient use of resources, to AI-based tools for fast and intelligent analysis of collected data. In addition, the security of IT networks and resilience of the supply chain will be addressed.“
Michael Ruchty, Exhibition manager
To ensure that trade visitors can find their way around quickly and easily, the trade fair management has clearly allocated the ten exhibition halls according to industry segments. Accordingly, system integrators, machine and plant manufacturers, traditionally the strongest exhibitor segment, will present their range of products and solutions in Halls 1, 3, 5 and 7, where the focus will be on New developments in the field of conveyor technology such as an innovative 3D sorter and an automated sorting solution for double-high throughputs. Innovative shuttle solutions and complete solutions for automated small parts storage will also be presented. Other innovations announced include a Dispensing machine as a storage system for consumables, new cobot grippers and an innovative, preventive oxygen reduction fire protection system based on a fuel cell. In Halls 7 and 9 on the north wing of the exhibition centre, manufacturers and suppliers of cranes and handling systems, fire protection and safety as well as doors and loading technology will also be showcasing their latest equipment developments.
Premieres and new solutions
In Hall 9 as well as in Hall 10 opposite on the south wing of the exhibition centre and the adjoining outdoor area with a live course, the exhibitor group Industrial Trucks, Attachments and Energy Management will be presenting the latest solutions for in-plant transport. Premieres are planned in particular for Tugger trains, pallet trucks, pedestrian and articulated forklifts and in the further development of assistance systems and sensor technology towards automated guided vehicles (AGVs).
The current solutions for Sustainable warehouse, transport and supply chain management with end-to-end networked data exchange will be the main focus for software developers in Hall 8. Apps, IT platforms and cloud solutions with new functions and AI algorithms for efficient process control, simulations and intelligent filtering and analysis of data will open up new optimisation options for better system performance and shorter implementation times for users.
In the neighbouring Hall 6, exhibitors from the Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV) and Robotics segments will be offering high-tech you can touch. From automated guided vehicles (AGVs), shuttles and autonomous mobile (transport) robots (AMRs) to new stationary industrial and mobile picking robots, they will be showcasing their products and services. current device developments, incorporating the latest advances in flanking technologies such as sensor technology and AI. A new autonomous mobile outdoor robot (AMR) for new use cases will also be on show.
Sustainability and modular packing station concepts
Packaging manufacturers and companies from the packaging technology sector will be presenting their new developments in Hall 4. Sustainable packaging solutions and modular packing station concepts and components will take centre stage. One innovation includes Adhesive solutions for customised shipping packaging and transport security of pallets without plastic film that are 100 per cent compatible with the paper recycling process. The packaging lines and new filling and sealing machines will include, for example, a new solution for producing sustainable padding material from used cardboard and a filling and sealing machine for e-commerce applications. Special configurable thermal containers and cross-industry complete solutions for intelligent container and storage solutions have also been announced.
Hall 2 will be the central point of contact for interested parties and customers from the AutoID industry. Almost all of the 80 or so suppliers specialising in identification, RFID and sensor technology will be represented there with their innovations, products and solutions for all aspects of identification and recording.
„The overall package with more than 1,500 exhibitors and the comprehensive supporting programme once again underlines LogiMAT's reputation as a trade fair with added value as well as a leading presentation, information and communication platform for the intralogistics industry. LogiMAT thus provides positive impetus for intralogistics companies worldwide - and is an absolute must-attend event for anyone who wants to stay at the cutting edge of technology.“
