KAPELOU innovations at LogiMAT 2026: driving warehouse flow efficiency

Integrated warehouse technologies: a system approach in action

KAPELOU EU’s booth focused on demonstrating a system-driven approach to warehouse automation. At the core was the KAPELOU A-Frame automated picking system with multiple configurations tailored to different operational requirements:

• Pick-to-Tote – order fulfillment into boxes with seamless transfer to packing and shipping;
• Pick-to-Belt – direct item picking onto conveyor;
• 2-level configuration – increased picking capacity without expanding footprint.

Within comprehensive automation concepts for pharmaceutical distribution centers, the A-Frame system is one component of a broader solution portfolio. To enhance performance across warehouse zones, KAPELOU integrates:

• AS/RS;
• robotic solutions;
• conveyor technologies;
• modular warehouse control architecture (WCS), enabling precise interaction between customer IT infrastructure and automated equipment.

As both manufacturer and system integrator, KAPELOU takes full responsibility for the outcome – designing, implementing, and scaling solutions to ensure all processes operate as a unified system. This approach enables not only the optimization of individual operations, but the creation of a stable warehouse ecosystem capable of operating efficiently under labor shortages, space constraints, and increasing throughput demands.

All showcased solutions are validated in real-world projects – technologies already delivering high throughput across European warehouses while meeting industry standards.

End-to-end pharmaceutical automation in partnership with BD Rowa™

At LogiMAT, KAPELOU EU also presented technologies for pharmaceutical distribution centers, designed to handle a wide SKU range while meeting strict requirements for accuracy and processing speed. These solutions are developed in close collaboration with BD Rowa™, a leading provider of automated storage and dispensing systems. Combining KAPELOU’s engineering expertise with BD Rowa™ pharmacy automation enables a fully integrated order fulfillment infrastructure, including:

• high-density automated storage;
• high-speed automated picking;
• synchronized product flow between warehouse zones.

As a manufacturer and system integrator, KAPELOU delivers these solutions turnkey – from design to commissioning.

This joint approach, demonstrated at LogiMAT, enables the development of equipment tailored to the specific and regulatory requirements of the pharmaceutical sector, while ensuring high performance, accuracy, and scalability in real operating environments.

LogiMAT 2026 in numbers

While automation was once primarily seen as a productivity driver, it is now a prerequisite for operational stability. The role of robotics in enabling autonomous warehouse operations continues to grow.

Intralogistics efficiency is increasingly defined by the synchronization of all warehouse processes – a direction in which we continue to develop our solutions.

• 1,671 exhibitors from 46 countries – all 10 halls fully occupied, with 296 first-time participants;
• 68,969 m² of exhibition space;
• 69,856 visitors – a new record (+4,137 year-over-year);
• 26,7% international audience, with 42% traveling over 300 km;
• 35,9% of visitors with active investment projects;
• 120+ global and European premieres.

LogiMAT 2027, Stuttgart logistics exhibition, will take place from March 16 to 18. Preparation for the next participation is already underway. We will continue the professional dialogue, presenting engineering solutions and implemented projects that enable warehouses to meet increasing requirements for accuracy, throughput, and operational efficiency.

We invite you to discuss technologies that drive warehouse performance.
