Key companies operating in the global automated material handling equipment market include Daifuku Co., Ltd., Dematic Group – KION Group AG, SSI Schaefer Group, Toyota Material Handling, Vanderlande Industries B.V., & and Others. These companies are focusing on advanced robotics integration, AI-driven warehouse control systems, and scalable automation solutions to strengthen their market position. Additionally, increasing investments in digitalization and smart intralogistics platforms are helping these players enhance operational efficiency and global reach.
Recent Developments
- In April 2026, Jungheinrich delivered a fully automated warehouse solution for Gebrüder Weiss at its logistics center in Páty, Hungary. This development features a high-bay, very narrow aisle warehouse with a capacity of 28,000 pallet positions, managed by six EKX 516a mobile robots. The system is designed to handle repetitive, high-volume tasks independently, processing up to 120 pallets per hour to address increasing logistics complexity and labor shortages in the region.
- In April 2026, KION Group entered into a strategic partnership with Siemens to digitalize complex intralogistics processes using AI and simulation technology. This development involves the deployment of the Digital Twin Composer software, allowing KION to virtually simulate and test warehouse layouts and process changes in real-time. The collaboration aims to create "intelligent warehouses" where physical operations are optimized through a digital twin, enhancing the resilience and productivity of automated material handling systems.
