LogiMAT 2026, the Global Trade Fair for Intralogistics Solutions and Process Management, gathers exhibitors from every area of the intralogistics sector to present their newest products and solutions for optimizing warehousing operations. Guests can anticipate exploring the newest advanced innovations and numerous fresh products showcased for the very first time.
“PASSION FOR DETAILS – Discover the Difference” is the motto of LogiMAT 2026, set to commence at the Messe Stuttgart convention center in a matter of weeks. More than 1,600 exhibitors from over 40 countries globally will gather from March 24–26 to showcase a diverse array of innovations, product unveilings, and cutting-edge solutions for efficient and sustainable intralogistics processes, complemented by an engaging schedule of events.
This year’s show is once again fully booked, filling all ten exhibit halls and the entire East Entrance of Messe Stuttgart for a total of over 120,000 square meters of exhibit space. “The unique mix of key technological developments and innovative products on display, together with the networking opportunities and conference-level accompanying program of informative events, means that LogiMAT will once again be the must-attend trade show for top logistics professionals in 2026,” explains Michael Ruchty, LogiMAT Exhibition Director from Munich-based event organizer EUROEXPO Messe- und Kongress-GmbH.
“Anyone interested in modernizing their intralogistics with an eye toward sustainability will find lots of inspiration in Stuttgart.” In keeping with this year’s theme, many exhibitors will spotlight the often overlooked details of smart solutions, offering industry professionals new perspectives for sound investments. “Driven by the enduring global trends of automation, digital transformation, and sustainability amid a continued shortage of qualified workers, the products in nearly all segments of the industry will also emphasize flexibility, scalability, AI integration, and robotics solutions,” adds Ruchty.
The exhibit halls will once again be clearly organized by industry segment to help visitors navigate the event. Shelving system and equipment manufacturers, systems integrators, and material handling technology providers will be based in Halls 1 (including the gallery level), 3, 5, and 7. The global product launches on display there will include an innovative new honeycomb-based storage and picking system, flexible robo-pick solutions, shuttles for shelving storage systems, new and enhanced service robots for unobstructed intralogistical transports, and new innovative details in proven storage and sorting technologies. Another prominent trend, complementing the cloud-based subscription models familiar in the software sector, is the increasingly common option to rent or lease a wide range of process automation components and systems in the hardware sector. This makes it easier for small and medium-sized companies in particular to get started with intralogistics automation. Halls 7 and 9 will also feature the latest equipment and components from manufacturers of cranes, gates, loading technology, and fire protection systems and solutions.
Halls 8, 9, and 10 will display the newest advancements in intralogistics mobility. Almost all top producers of industrial trucks will arrive in Stuttgart in March, occupying Halls 9 and 10 with the newest advancements and innovations in automated guided vehicles and alternative powertrain technologies. Guests will additionally have the chance to preview fresh designs of classic industrial trucks featuring integrated lithium-ion batteries and load capacities ranging from 4 to 7 tonnes, a novel electric counterbalance forklift with a maximum capacity of 2 tonnes offered in either a 3- or 4-wheel configuration, and a groundbreaking autonomous robo-picker. The array of new accessories and components will showcase a camera system with active alert and assistance features, advancements in stable and secure lithium battery technology seamlessly integrated into robotics, next-gen biometric access systems for forklifts, and an enhanced telemetry system for warehouse forklifts.
The specialized manufacturers of automated guided vehicles (AGVs), autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), and carrybots will be concentrated in Hall 8. The focus in the now mature technologies of transport and picking robots is primarily on the integration of AI for optimized fleet control and transport performance as well as continued improvements in warehouse safety through machine vision and sensor technology. The Mobile Robotics User Forum on the gallery level of Hall 6 will provide deeper insights into these themes, offering potential buyers unbiased expert consultation by members of Forum-FTS. Hall 6 will otherwise be dominated by exhibitors offering packaging, packaging technology, and container solutions. The spectrum of products here is focused on sustainability through reduced material use, right-sized packaging, the circular economy, and reusable packaging. The latest high-performance packaging lines and strapping machines on display will also showcase optimized consumption specs and high throughput rates.
Manufacturers from the diverse segment of automatic identification and data capture (AIDC) are coming to Stuttgart to showcase their latest products and solutions in Hall 2. In this era of rapidly evolving technologies, AIDC companies are systematically merging various technologies such as AI, next-gen sensors, and machine vision to engineer smart new labeling, information coding, and data capture solutions, offering improved efficiency for nearly any conceivable scenario. The spectrum of state-of-the-art solutions on display will range from innovative scanners to RTLS and RFID solutions to advanced new materials for single-use labels, reusable labels, e-paper, and radio-controlled e-labels.
Automation, the capture and processing of analog information, the control of systems and processes: This is the inherent domain of software. Specialized software developers will be at LogiMAT in Hall 4 alongside industrial machinery and equipment manufacturers and systems integrators to demonstrate their latest developments for warehouse management. Today’s new products feature integrated AI models for reliable analytics and forecasting, cloud apps, and increasingly scalable subscription models for warehouse management and control solutions.
“Visitors to LogiMAT 2026 can expect to once again experience hundreds of European and global product launches across all segments of the industry,” promises Exhibition Director Ruchty. “It’s a unique lineup that includes a conference-level program of accompanying events with 25 prestigious Expert Forums now occupying two on-site venues, Exhibitor Insights presented by LogiMAT’s very own, the new Smart Maintenance Lounge, LogiMAT CareerDay, the popular Tracking & Tracing Theatre focused on AIDC technologies, the Cargo Securement Event Space, and the Mobile Robotics User Forum. Given the challenging conditions that many industries face, LogiMAT offers and ideal platform for solutions and an industry barometer providing critical insights into emerging trends and sustainable solutions.”
