LOGIMAT SHOW PREVIEW
sawing processes, and low-impact retrofits to boost the competitiveness of our customers,” explains Armin Stolzer, Managing Partner at Kasto Maschinenbau GmbH & Co. KG (Hall 1, Booth 1H16), describing the sustainability-driven product line. One example is the software solutions that Kasto is bringing to Stuttgart that help streamline energy use in intralogistics processes. Another is “Energysave,” a sustainable Kasto concept for intralogistics that converts excess kinetic energy into electricity and stores it for later use (recuperation).
In the automatic identification and data capture segment, the options for optimizing resource efficiency are directed primarily at the materials and the energy consumption of the hardware components. Kathrein Solutions GmbH (Hall 2, Booth 2D32) has reduced energy consumption with each successive version of its RFID reader GEN4, which the company will exhibit at LogiMAT. “The next-gen RFID readers use less than half the energy of the last generation,” notes Thomas Heijnen, Head of Marketing & Partner Program at Kathrein Solutions.
INDUSTRIAL TRUCKS WITH ALTERNATIVE POWERTRAIN TECHNOLOGIES
The potential for boosting energy efficiency in industrial trucks lies in their motors and powertrain technology. Powertrains optimized to the size of the equipment reduce energy consumption. Powertrain technology joins ergonomics, user-friendliness, safety, cost-effectiveness, driver comfort, and reliability in playing a major role in the development of future industrial trucks. Alternative lithium-ion, fuel cell, and hydrogen technology, supported by energy recovery and high-frequency charging technologies, will become increasingly important in the quest for greater

energy efficiency. Industrial truck maker Cesab offers both conventional and sustainable lithium-ion alternative powertrains for many of its forklift models. All B-series electric forklifts, including the B600 first exhibited at LogiMAT, now come with the option for Cesab’s own lithium-ion alternative powertrain solution.
The key role of sustainability and energy efficiency in intralogistics reflected in the items on display by exhibitors is also echoed in several presentations in the accompanying program of LogiMAT. High-level expert forums in the Atrium’s LogiMAT Arena examine the benefits of sustainability in transport and shipping packaging (April 25), the circular economy (April 25), and trends in intralogistics (April 27). Exhibitor presentations such as “Automated storage systems to reduce carbon emissions and optimize costs” (Dambach Lagersysteme, April 25 at 12:30 PM) and “Sustainability beyond greenwashing and greenwishing— how logistics can set the tone” (Swisslog, April 26 at 3:30 PM), taking place in the two forums in Halls 5 and 6, also address the topics of energy efficiency and reduced carbon emissions.
“Sustainability and energy efficiency are complex topics,” concludes Exhibition Director Ruchty. “The smart linking of intralogistics processes and efficient management of resources often makes it possible to achieve huge gains from minor adjustments. The exhibitors at LogiMAT 2023 highlight the impressive options currently available for solid investments in forward- looking solutions. Those who wish to build this kind of resilience into their business processes and strategies cannot afford to miss LogiMAT 2023.”
