Leveraging competitive advantages with material flow solutions

Demat­ic places the cus­tomer and his require­ments at the cen­ter of its trade fair pres­ence. To this end, the intral­o­gis­tics provider is turn­ing its stand at this year’s Logi­MAT from May 31 to June 2 in Stuttgart into a true cus­tomer expe­ri­ence. Under the mot­to “#brin­gi­ton”, Demat­ic wants to show how they can use new mate­r­i­al flow solu­tions to gain com­pet­i­tive advan­tages. In doing so, Demat­ic is par­tic­u­lar­ly address­ing cus­tomers’ cur­rent chal­lenges in intral­o­gis­tics and pre­sent­ing itself as a reli­able part­ner with the right solu­tions for their needs. For an inter­ac­tive trade fair expe­ri­ence, 15 dif­fer­ent show­cas­es will be avail­able, among oth­ers, in which the inno­va­tions can be expe­ri­enced live with the help of numer­ous tools and fea­tures such as 3D con­fig­u­ra­tions, 360-degree tours or aug­ment­ed real­i­ty appli­ca­tions. In this way, the spe­cif­ic and ful­ly auto­mat­ed ware­house solu­tions can be visu­al­ized, test­ed and even remote­ly con­trolled on site. The two-sto­ry trade fair pres­ence can be found in Hall 1, Booth B37.

“The cus­tomer expe­ri­ence comes first. In con­tin­u­ous dia­logue with cus­tomers, we want to under­stand their require­ments for the entire intral­o­gis­tics val­ue chain so that we can strength­en their com­pet­i­tive­ness in the long term with our inno­v­a­tive solu­tions tai­lored to them.”

“In the past two years in par­tic­u­lar, many frame­work con­di­tions have changed. This requires new think­ing and an even deep­er under­stand­ing of our cus­tomers’ needs. We are there­fore par­tic­u­lar­ly look­ing for­ward to Logi­MAT 2022 and want to inspire our vis­i­tors with our new solu­tions, which we will present to them in an excep­tion­al way,” says the head of the EMEA region, which was realigned at the begin­ning of the year to bet­ter meet local cus­tomer needs with Demat­ic’s glob­al experience.

Vis­i­tors will there­fore not only be able to obtain infor­ma­tion and exchange ideas as usu­al at the two-sto­ry ‑booth B37 in Hall 1, as Dr. Jens Hard­e­nacke, Man­ag­ing Direc­tor at Demat­ic DACH, empha­sizes: “The spe­cial thing is that guests will not only be able to see our solu­tions on prod­uct dis­plays, but will also be able to expe­ri­ence them live on site in inno­v­a­tive form.” This gives them the oppor­tu­ni­ty to first visu­al­ize their automa­tion tar­gets in 3D view and then con­trol them live. For exam­ple, they can use vir­tu­al real­i­ty gog­gles for remote machine main­te­nance. “I’m look­ing for­ward to demon­strat­ing in an inter­ac­tive way how Demat­ic can sup­port its cus­tomers on their automa­tion jour­ney from start to fin­ish. With a wide range of advanced appli­ca­tions that offer both excel­lent tech­no­log­i­cal options on the mar­ket and demon­strate our abil­i­ty to meet the spe­cif­ic needs of dif­fer­ent indus­tries,” Hard­e­nacke explains.

In addi­tion to pio­neer­ing solu­tions for online retail, mixed case ful­fill­ment, pal­let stor­age and mobile automa­tion, Demat­ic will also be pre­sent­ing its new visu­al inspec­tion ser­vice for intral­o­gis­tics equip­ment to the pub­lic for the first time at the show, which great­ly reduces the time and effort required for main­te­nance — with­out com­pro­mis­ing qual­i­ty. With this, reg­u­lar safe­ty checks and visu­al inspec­tions can be car­ried out with the help of the use of drones. In the course of this, the com­pa­ny will be con­duct­ing a live drone flight at the com­pa­ny’s head­quar­ters in Heusen­stamm at the trade fair. This will also illus­trate live remote assis­tance. Fur­ther­more, the group will demon­strate the use of an inter­ac­tive dig­i­tal twin for pre­dic­tive main­te­nance. “In inter­ac­tion with the Dig­i­tal Twin, we also per­form a soft­ware health check, includ­ing inter­ac­tive dash­boards, dig­i­tal show­cas­es and VR appli­ca­tions. In this way, time and costs can be reduced for the cus­tomer dur­ing main­te­nance,” says Hardenacke.
