Logistics 4.0 between man and machine

Across all industry segments, a large proportion of exhibitors use LogiMat as a platform for presenting their innovations and world firsts for the first time.

The overarching central theme of the exhibitors is the integration of modern technologies and materials into future-proof solutions for the challenges under Industry 4.0, Logistics 4.0, the Internet of Things (IoT) and the associated digitalization.

"This is reflected in the motto of LogiMat 2018, 'Intralogistics at first hand: Digital - Networked - Innovative' as well as the enduring theme of 'Cooperation between man and machine'"

emphasizes exhibition manager Peter Kazander, managing director of the organizer Euroexpo.

"The majority of the international exhibitors will be presenting - not infrequently as world premieres - intelligent and innovative solutions for the current challenges in intralogistics.

They are driven by the digitization of business processes and the requirements for capturing, processing, filtering and providing digitized data needed to control efficient, increasingly automated processes in intralogistics and the supply chain."

The basis for the networked exchange of information in intralogistics and the supply chain is an intelligent IT infrastructure in addition to AutoID technologies for coding and recording.

In Halls 8 and 10, software companies will be presenting their new developments and solutions for future-proof warehouse, transport and supply chain management with end-to-end networked data exchange.

In addition to efficient process control and functions and algorithms for intelligent filtering and analysis of data, the focus is particularly on apps and IT platforms. Among other things, the innovations presented enable innovative tracking solutions with IoT chips, including fill level monitoring via the cloud.

In addition, the supporting program delves deeper into current issues and development trends with more than 30 specialist forums and three serial live events, and demonstrates proven practical solutions in the "Forum Innovations" with more than 40 specialist presentations daily.
