Logimat is a trade fair for the fields of material flow, information technology and distribution. It takes place annually in Stuttgart and is the largest logistics fair in Europe. Since 2014, there has also been an annual edition in China, first in the city of Nanjing and since 2019 in Shanghai. Both events are initiated and organized by Euroexpo Messe- und Kongress-GmbH Munich.

In the broad field of logistics, Logimat (spelled by the organizers: LogiMAT) primarily serves the intralogistics sector as a trend and industry barometer, as well as an information exchange, and acts as the leading trade fair for intralogistics. At its first edition in 2003, 3,700 visitors came, and at the last edition in 2019, before the corona-related cancellations in 2020 and 2021, almost 62,000 visitors came to the Stuttgart exhibition center. In 2022, after a two-year break, a regular edition took place in Stuttgart again.

Initially, exhibitors came primarily from the software, IT and identification systems, as well as conveyor and storage technology sectors. In the meantime, the points of contact between intralogistics and other industries have increased enormously, and Logimat also reflects these intersections. For example, trade and logistics are becoming increasingly intertwined due to the global flow of goods, which means that intralogistics processes are becoming more and more important for efficiency at the interfaces between production and transport. For this reason, TradeWorld – Platform for Modern Trade Processes has been integrated into Logimat since 2014. This is a trade forum that focuses on e-commerce and omnichannel solutions.

Awards for the “Best Product” are also presented during the trade fair. As a rule, these are products or services from exhibitors that the jury of experts created for this purpose concludes that they manage to increase intralogistics productivity, reduce costs or increase the efficiency of processes. The independent jury, which is made up of representatives from research, media and industry, selects the winners in the following categories after their selection process:

• Software, communication, IT
• Order picking, conveyor, lifting and storage technology
• Identification, packaging and loading technology, load securing

Logimat pursues the self-declared aim of imparting knowledge, setting trends and highlighting visions. This is to be achieved through specialist forums and live demonstrations, where visitors can experience intralogistics solutions directly and exchange ideas with experts in the respective domains. The aim of the event is to simplify investment decisions and to avoid the trade fair being perceived by potential customers as an ordinary advertising event. Rather, the organizers are pursuing the approach of offering a comprehensive market overview of the technologies (hardware and software) for intralogistics requirements and process management.

Summary

As the world’s largest trade fair for intralogistics, Logimat aims to provide an overview of all relevant technologies, from procurement to production to delivery. The trade fair takes place annually in Stuttgart, and there is also an edition in China. Integrated into Logimat is the Tradeworld trade forum, which reflects further areas of influence of intralogistics in e-commerce and omnichannel. In addition to the exhibition, numerous specialist forums, lectures and live demonstrations will take place as part of the trade fair, all of which are dedicated to optimizing internal logistics processes.
