Halle 1, Stand 1F58
How can logistics systems be future-proofed under increasing cost pressure and rapid innovation without losing sight of economic efficiency? What role do retrofit concepts play in extending the service life of existing facilities? And how can data-driven methods and artificial intelligence support sound decision-making in planning and operations? EPG Consulting will address these and many other questions at LogiMAT 2026. In Hall 1, Booth 1F58, the vendor-neutral logistics consultancy will present its holistic consulting approach, with this year’s focus on retrofit solutions, AI consulting, and its comprehensive portfolio of advisory and implementation services.
Logistics is facing profound structural change. Rising investment and operating costs, volatile market conditions, labor shortages, and growing requirements for transparency and sustainability demand robust, long-term decisions. At the same time, companies are under pressure to further develop existing systems and integrate new digital technologies in a meaningful way. To remain capable of action in this field of tension, neutral analyses, practical concepts, and realistic implementation support are essential. This is precisely where EPG Consulting comes in, supporting companies across the entire supply chain with vendor-neutral consulting and sound planning expertise.
Making Existing Systems Fit for the Future: Retrofit and Modernization
The cost-effective continued operation of existing logistics and automation systems is becoming increasingly important. Many companies are faced with the question of how to increase the performance, availability, and safety of their current systems without making extensive new investments. Retrofit and modernization measures offer a viable economic alternative, allowing facilities to be adapted to changing requirements and their service life to be sustainably extended. EPG Consulting supports companies in developing holistic retrofit strategies that take technical, organizational, and economic aspects into account in equal measure. This includes analyzing the current state of existing systems, assessing performance reserves, risks, and dependencies, and developing step-by-step modernization concepts. The focus is not limited to individual components but extends to the interaction of processes, technology, and organization. The goal is to position existing systems in a stable, flexible, and future-ready manner while minimizing investment and operational risks.
AI Consulting: Artificial Intelligence for Sound Logistics Decisions
Artificial intelligence and data-driven methods open up new possibilities for planning, controlling, and optimizing logistics processes. At the same time, practical experience shows that the value of AI depends heavily on data quality, clearly defined objectives, and proper integration into existing processes. Through its AI consulting services, EPG Consulting helps companies establish exactly these prerequisites. The consulting approach ranges from identifying suitable use cases across the entire supply chain and evaluating and structuring existing data landscapes to jointly developing concrete AI-based solution approaches. These solutions are not designed in isolation but are developed in close collaboration with the customer’s specialist departments, piloted, and gradually integrated into existing planning and operational processes. The focus is on concrete questions from planning and day-to-day operations, such as forecasting, simulation, and decision support. EPG Consulting supports the implementation of the identified use cases through to successful go-live and ensures that the developed solutions are firmly embedded in daily operations. Transparency, traceability, and practical applicability are key guiding principles. The objective is not merely to evaluate data-driven methods conceptually but to implement them in a way that delivers reliable decision-making support and generates measurable, long-term value in daily operations.
