12. februar 2024

Swisslog is geared up to make an impact at LogiMAT 2024 in Stuttgart from 19.-21. March showcasing its fully integrated automation and software solutions under the theme of ‘the human side of automation.’

The intralogistics expert will be using LogiMAT as a platform to emphasize its commitment to placing people at the forefront of its mission. “Our people bring deep industry-specific expertise, backed by a collaborative spirit, to every project,” says Swisslog CEO Jens Schmale. “That expertise creates value for our customers from solution design through ongoing support and optimization. Our Swisslog colleagues become an extension of our customers’ teams and share in their aspirations, challenges, and successes.”

The complete food & beverage experience

LogiMAT visitors will have the chance to learn about the Swisslog solutions designed to increase speed, accuracy, and efficiency, and supported throughout their lifecycle with expert services. Offering a complete experience for the Food & Beverage industry, Swisslog will highlight its broad expertise in solutions and services to support all areas of the sector, from manufacturing to e-grocery. There will also be an opportunity for businesses working in the F&B industry to discover how they can automate with confidence. By delving into best practice case studies, visitors can gain valuable knowledge about successfully implemented solutions within their industry.

“Swisslog prides itself on a culture that is built on, and committed to, the success of its customers,” Jens explains. “Some of the solutions we support today have been in continuous operation for more than 30 years, which is a testament to both the enduring value of our solutions and our ability to forge lasting relationships with the people and companies we support.”

Highly developed technology

At the Swisslog booth, visitors will get to see how innovative automation solutions can improve efficiency, reduce errors, and create a more engaging work environment. An operational ItemPiQ robot order picking system will showcase the significant improvements made possible by AI Enhanced Vision, such as context-aware picking and improved grasping point quality. With the new gripper introduced in 2023, ItemPiQ can handle up to 3kg and adapt to specific item properties such as material, size, and weight. With advanced AI methods, ItemPiQ can identify specific products for pick validation and increase our pick performance.

“Visitors can witness first-hand how ItemPiQ streamlines and improves the order picking process.” Jens adds. “What makes Swisslog’s ItemPiQ unique is every aspect is handled within the Swisslog family of companies, from the vision camera to the software.”

Swisslog will also be inviting customers to find out more about the latest AutoStore R5 Pro Robot. This robot is designed to address the specific demands of large-scale e-commerce operations, emphasizing better space usage, higher performance, and reduced total ownership costs for companies running multishift operations at scale.
