AI in logistics needs more than just buzzwords. It needs structure, data, and real-world application. For over 30 years, we have been developing intelligent solutions in logistics automation—from precise master data capture and automatic pallet classification to AI-supported cargo measurement and data-driven process optimization, deployed worldwide and seamlessly integrable.

Today and tomorrow, we will be exhibiting at LOG.NET 2026 in the Rhein-Mosel-Halle in Koblenz. The focus will be on the exchange between the German Armed Forces and industry on the future of efficient and resilient logistics structures.

Transparency is the basis of any good working relationship. Our customers can expect us to be open about deadlines, processes and limitations – reliably, honestly and comprehensibly.

On March 11 and 12, 2026, we will be exhibiting at LOG.NET 2026 in the Rhein-Mosel-Halle in Koblenz. The focus will be on the exchange between the German Armed Forces and industry on the future of efficient, resilient logistics structures.

Even though a little Hoptimist has taken a seat under the CUBISCAN 325 at AKL-tec today, one thing remains completely serious for us: precise master data collection. What at first glance looks like carnival fun is symbolic of a central theme in intralogistics:
without reliable article master data, nothing runs smoothly.

Many of Germany's most successful companies are not in the spotlight – yet they shape entire industries worldwide. They are known as hidden champions: specialists, innovation leaders, and reliable partners who set standards with their expertise, quality, and passion.

At LogiMAT 2026, we will demonstrate how automated pallet inspection using modern image processing and AI reliably identifies such pallets—thereby reducing manual inspection efforts, increasing safety, and stabilizing processes.

In modern intralogistics, reliable recording of weight, volume, and load status is crucial for safety, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness.
AKL-tec GmbH and VETTER Industrie GmbH have jointly developed a system that records these parameters directly on the forklift in real time and while driving.

We hear similar stories more and more often—from long-standing customers and from prospective customers who call us, curious but also uncertain.

Optimization does not begin with AI. It begins with precise measurement data.

AKL-tec GmbH, based in Alsdorf/Sieg, will be exhibiting at LogiMAT from March 24 to 26, 2026. In Hall 4, Booth 4C12, the company, which specializes in automated freight measurement and intelligent logistics solutions, will be presenting, among other things, a system for automatic pallet inspection.

The new year is just around the corner—full of opportunities, new ideas, and possibilities that we should boldly seize.
