LogiMAT 2026 is bringing together exhibitors from around the world to present their latest solutions in the fields of machine vision and sensor technology, exploring a broader range of use cases for enhanced efficiency and safety in intralogistics.
Advanced sensor technology, machine vision, and real-time processing of captured data: These are the critical technologies enabling security architectures, automatic identification, and process automation in intralogistics. “Sensor and machine vision technologies provide the sensory organs of intralogistics and industrial production,” notes LogiMAT Exhibition Director Michael Ruchty from Munich-based event organizer EUROEXPO Messe- und Kongress-GmbH. “The data they capture runs the machinery and systems and facilitates the automation of transport processes in intralogistics, and it is the very foundation of digital transformation.” Their potential in the realm of identification alone is huge: locating and tracking logistical objects, measuring their dimensions, taking inventory, determining their status – and optimizing all the corresponding processes along the way. So it’s not surprising that nearly one in four AIDC companies (23%) report increased demand for sensor technologies alone, according to the Trend Barometer published by industry association AIM-D. What’s more, combining data from individual sensors in the material flow system, a process known as sensor fusion, increases “accuracy, flexibility, and safety – the very attributes needed for an innovative and efficient material flow system,” explains an information brochure on the subject published by the Fraunhofer Institute for Material Flow and Logistics IML. Exhibitors from various segments of the intralogistics industry are coming to LogiMAT 2026 in late March to highlight use cases for these technologies and show how the latest innovations enable even greater efficiency.
A look at some of the latest innovations in system design, industrial trucks, and the safety of property and personnel: IMAGO Technologies (Hall 2, Booth 2A30) is presenting scenarios that illustrate how machine vision adapted for continuous operation, changing formats, and the pace of real-world processes can be successfully integrated into existing automated logistics environments and can unlock even greater potential for efficiency with AI vision. IMAGO sees AI-assisted machine vision systems as a key enabler of robust, scalable automation in logistics. AKL-tec (Hall 4, Booth 4C12) will be in Stuttgart with its automatic pallet inspection system to show how today’s machine vision systems and AI-assisted analytics can help reliably identify Class C pallets and remove them from circulation. The captured data lays the foundation for integrated electronic logistics processes and can be seamlessly integrated into existing IT, ERP, and warehouse management systems.
Real-time measurement without any manual intervention
Progressive Robotics from Greece (Hall 1 gallery level, Booth 1GA55) will be demonstrating how physical AI can be leveraged to automate mixed-case palletizing, highlighting solutions designed to handle boxes of different sizes, weights, and SKUs within the same pallet – without any need for pre-sorting, interruptions, or complex configurations. The system uses 3D vision for real-time measurements, continuously adapting to the incoming product flow and eliminating the need for predefined patterns or manual intervention. Dutch systems integrator Inther Group (Hall 5, Booth 5D33) is coming to LogiMAT to present Cubiscan 325, the integrated standalone high-precision measuring and weighing system that quickly and automatically captures the product master data of both regularly and irregularly shaped articles and objects such as pallets, boxes, bulk goods, and polybags. Cubiscan systems feature a data interface to connect directly to warehouse management systems (WMS) or database systems, making data available immediately. This makes it possible to use storage space more efficiently, and higher-precision measurements help reduce packaging and shipping costs.
Among the industrial truck exhibitors, Vetter Industrie (Hall 10, Booth 10A11) is presenting the latest generation of its SmartFork® technology, which gives forklift operators an improved field of vision thanks to cameras, sensors, and LED technology built into the forks. This greatly improves safety in goods handling and gives operators a unique look “through” the forks to see directly ahead of the load being carried. SmartFork® now combines modular, retrofittable fork- and mast-mounted camera systems that display multiple perspectives on a cabin monitor, including a rear view, making it possible to identify obstacles and people early on. Vetter is also exhibiting SmartFork® AGVready, sensor forks developed specifically for automated guided vehicles (AGVs) in automated logistics processes. Multiway Robotics (Hall 8, Booth 8F79) from Shenzhen is introducing MW-SL14, a versatile, automatic high-lift stacker that uses an AI-assisted 3D vision camera to identify the location and orientation of pallets and loads and automatically adjusts to varying pallet types, shelf heights, and storage positions. The automated forklift truck is equipped with 360° multi-sensor protection with acoustic, visual, tactile, and environment-based perception to enhance safety. tbm hightech control (Hall 10, Booth 10B05) is coming to Stuttgart with sensor-driven safety and assistance systems for industrial trucks. The RRW-207 rear area monitoring system relies on a sole radar sensor to monitor the zone behind forklifts and can also be deployed as a smart protection system for navigating under mezzanines and galleries. The upward-angled radar sensor allows the system to reliably detect when the vehicle moves under the gallery and automatically reduce its speed. The wide detection field ensures that typical gaps or height differences are safely bridged.
Sensor technology for safety and long-term process monitoring
Machine vision and sensor systems for greater safety in intralogistics are the focus of the products and solutions presented by Toyota Material Handling Deutschland (Hall 10, Booths 10G41 and 10H48), microsensys (Hall 2, Booth 2B05), TWK-Elektronik (Hall 8, Booth 8A24), and Canada’s Lucid Vision Labs (Hall 2, Booth 2B17). Toyota is exhibiting its Operation Detection Assist (ODA), a production-ready foot protection sensor for pedestrian pallet trucks that further enhances operator safety. ODA was first introduced as a concept study at last year’s LogiMAT and is now available to order for the first time. Like the distance sensors used to park cars, ODA detects when the operator’s foot is too close to the pallet truck frame and automatically brings the vehicle to a complete stop. The TELID®3x2 data logger from microsensys offers wireless identification with integrated sensors to achieve new levels of safety, combining state-of-the-art sensor technology with sophisticated electronics to capture temperature, pressure, humidity, shock, and incline. Measurement data is saved at freely defined intervals and can be easily read with an NFC device. Analysis of this data provides an ideal launchpad for long-term process monitoring. TWK-Elektronik manufactures safety sensors used in automated intralogistics, primarily AGVs. As a highlight of this year’s LogiMAT, the company has announced the Safety Ring Encoder, which combines two key functions in a single device. First, it offers high-precision speed and position tracking, relying on BISS‑C, SSI, SIN/COS, and other interfaces for motor feedback control. But it also supports a second secure data transfer protocol via PROFIsafe, FSoE, or CANopen Safety.
Lucid Vision Labs is a leading developer and manufacturer of industrial cameras. The Canadian company is presenting its latest 3D and HDR machine vision technologies at LogiMAT 2026. The Helios2 3D Time-of-Flight series, for example, is designed for 24/7 operation in demanding industrial environments. It is ideally suited for use in robotics, 3D inspection, and logistics applications, including material handling, pick-and-place, sorting, palletizing and depalletizing, and volume measurement. Helios2 cameras, equipped with Sony IMX556PLR Time-of-Flight sensors and Lucid’s robust IP67 factory-tough design, deliver high-precision 3D depth data with submillimeter accuracy. At the joint booth of the Mobility & Logistics cluster (Hall 4, Booth 4D53), experts from Dallmeier are showcasing state-of-the-art video technology for transparent and efficient logistics and safety processes. Front and center is the new Panomera® V8 high-performance camera solution, providing a continuous 180° overview in a single system without blind spots to seamlessly monitor large logistics spaces, quickly analyze incidents, and optimize operational processes.
“As the examples here illustrate, the latest solutions in machine vision and sensor technology function as critical enablers of efficient intralogistics,” concludes Exhibition Director Ruchty. “By intelligently combining just a few details such as expanded scanning ranges or fields of vision, they give intralogistics professionals more options for improving safety, efficiency, and accuracy in automated processes while cutting costs. This makes machine vision and sensor technology indispensable tools for the intralogistics of tomorrow.
