Mobility in intralogistics is becoming increasingly autonomous. Automated guided vehicles (AGVs), shuttle systems, and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) are taking on key tasks in internal material flow. Robotics, sensor technology, and artificial intelligence enable flexible transport solutions that can be adapted to changing throughputs and layouts.

While stationary conveyor technology often offers high dynamics, it remains inflexible after installation. Autonomous intralogistics systems, on the other hand, can be scaled and expanded with relative ease. At the same time, mobile service robots are continuing to evolve, right up to the first humanoid applications for automated warehouse and production environments. “Robotics specialists, equipment makers, systems integrators, and industrial truck manufacturers will gather at Logimat 2026 to showcase their latest innovations in AGVs, mobile robots, shuttles, and carrybots” explains Michael Ruchty, trade fair director at organizer Euroexpo.

Autonomous intralogistics solutions in Hall 8

The innovations in the field of AGVs and AMRs are mainly concentrated in Hall 8 at Logimat 2026. There, for example, Artisteril Robotics is showcasing a production application in which a humanoid robot works collaboratively with an autonomous mobile robot. Such closed environments are subject to fewer regulatory requirements than open storage areas. Several suppliers are presenting new systems for internal transport in open spaces. Ek Robotics is presenting the driverless transport platform “X MOVE” in combination with the cognitive robot “MAiRA” from Neura Robotics. The system combines the transport and handling of small load carriers.

Innok Robotics is showing the new “Induros” family for the first time with the “350s,” “700,” “700s,” and “1300” models. The lineup is complemented by a new fleet manager for the central planning and control of entire robot fleets. Neo Intralogistics will be showcasing a retrofittable goods-to-worker system for shelving systems that does not require any structural changes. The autonomous robots navigate through existing warehouse aisles and supply picking stations directly. With the AMR “MBT 08,” Martin Systems is presenting a vehicle with a width-adjustable lift that can handle different container sizes and uses existing transfer stations.

Modular platforms for flexible intralogistics

Modular vehicle concepts are becoming increasingly important in intralogistics. W. Gessmann is presenting the “GESSbot,” a platform that can be adapted to different superstructures. As a trolley transporter, the system can move trolleys, pallets, or mesh boxes. In combination with roller conveyors and a lifting system, lifting movements of up to 300 kilograms and 300 millimeters are possible.

SEW-Eurodrive presents a compact AMR platform with a payload of up to 1,600 kilograms and contactless energy transfer via “Movitrans.” Igus also presents “ReBeLMove Pro,” a modular platform that can transport or pull loads and can be combined with conveyor belts, cobots, or racking systems.

Pallet transport and forklift automation

Filics is showcasing the revised “Filics Unit” for pallet transport. The floor-based AMR system consists of two separate robot skids, picks up pallets directly from the floor, and can drive completely through them. This enables new processes to be implemented in block warehouses or when loading trucks.

Melkus Mechatronic is presenting the optimized “G130 3.0” pallet transporter and, for the first time, the driverless “BLS4060 Rack Stacker” for Euroboxes. Stäubli is showcasing the self-driving “FL1500” counterbalance forklift, which can reach lifting heights of more than three meters. Multiway Robotics presents automated forklifts with AI-supported obstacle classification and movement predictions.

Intralogistics continues to evolve through details

Traditional industrial truck manufacturers are also using Logimat to showcase their new products. Cesab is presenting new electric counterbalance forklifts, while Kalmar is unveiling its “TT7” terminal tractors in Europe for the first time. Toyota is presenting the new “Traigo80,” among other things, while Still is expanding its portfolio with new low-lift pallet trucks and reach trucks. Linde is showcasing new reach trucks and electric forklifts from the “Xi” series with improved visibility.

“It’s not possible to entirely reinvent industrial trucks, AGVs, and AMRs,” concedes Logimat Exhibition Director Ruchty. “But in keeping with the theme “Passion for Details,” the products and solutions that exhibitors are bringing to this year’s show illustrate that there are still a few new innovations offering a small but crucial difference in efficiency, flexibility, and scalability. As these examples demonstrate, continued progress toward customization and humanoid designs will prove to be game-changers in years ahead, especially in robotics. Process automation in intralogistics remains an exciting field.”
