Logistics Summit in Lviv: Current Trends in Automation

A heartfelt meeting: practical solutions for everyday challenges

The event’s format encouraged open sharing of personal experiences, challenges, and ways to overcome them amid economic uncertainty and labor shortages.

Discussions focused on selecting technologies and approaches to warehouse design considering risks and limited resources, increasing business autonomy and resilience through automation, and choosing the right equipment for maximum warehouse efficiency. Participants discussed practical yet cost-effective technological solutions that can be implemented gradually, ensuring consistent productivity growth without excessive investment. Special attention was given to technologies that enhance the value of people – enabling inclusive principles in warehouse operations to create safe, comfortable, and accessible workplaces for everyone.

KAPELOU experience: technologies that deliver results

Our company was represented at the summit by Yevhen Kulyk, Head of Comprehensive Solutions at KAPELOU. He shared insights from implementing projects for European warehouses using our in-house manufactured AS/RS, A-Frame, shuttle, and conveyor systems. This indicates that improving warehouse processes with a high ROI is achievable for any business – in e-commerce, retail, automotive, pharmaceuticals, FMCG, DIY, as well as postal and courier services.

Among the summit participants were BERTA Group and Nova Poshta, our customers who have already adopted automation and experienced its benefits firsthand:

• increased order processing speed and accuracy;
• optimized warehouse space usage without warehouse footprint expansion;
• overcoming workforce shortages;
• reduced physical strain on staff;
• creation of a safe and inclusive work environment.
