Digital, networked, innovative intralogistics

With an extensive supporting program, the organizers of LogiMat 2018 want to implement this year's motto "Digital - networked - innovative" on all three days of the trade fair:

Three serial live events, more than 40 specialist presentations by exhibitors every day in the "Innovations Forum" and around 30 series of lectures, each lasting 90 minutes, with more than 100 experts from business, science and the trade media.

They cover the trade audience's need for education and information on the trend topics that are moving the market today and tomorrow. In particular, it is about the digital transformation and the future projects Industry 4.0, Logistics 4.0 and Internet of Things (IoT).

Focus on digitization

The thematic preparation of digitalization runs through the entire offering. On the one hand, this concerns topics such as "Narrow Band IoT, 5G and the Industrial Data Space in logistics".

They enable optimization by transmitting small amounts of data over long periods of time in hard-to-reach places. In the case of "AutoID technologies" and systems for "indoor localization as the key to Industry 4.0", the focus is also on the intelligent integration of new technologies in data acquisition and processing.

On the other hand, the process of digital transformation itself, the "digital tools for logistics" and the foundations for optimized cooperation between humans and robots will be addressed.

"Transports and handling - autonomous all by themselves" discusses the future requirements of intralogistic material flows with autonomous interlinking of all processes.

The options for digital transformation and a future-proof alignment of "material flows in the age of Industry 4.0" will also be explored in detail in forums tailored to the various industry segments. For example, the AGV forum will examine the "State of the art, examples and outlook" and the "Building blocks of intelligent mobile robots".
