Recent Developments

• In April 2026, KION Group and Siemens entered into a strategic partnership to digitalize complex intralogistics processes using AI and digital twin technology. As part of this collaboration, KION became the first company in Europe to utilize Siemens' "Digital Twin Composer" software to create high-fidelity 3D digital twins of complete warehouses. This development allows for end-to-end process simulations, enabling logistics operators to virtually test and optimize warehouse layouts and machine performance before physical implementation.

• In April 2026, Daifuku Co., Ltd. completed the construction of a new 19,600-square-meter factory building at its Shiga Works manufacturing hub in Japan. The development is dedicated to the production and research of automated transport and storage systems for semiconductor production lines. The new facility, which includes a complex test line replicating cleanroom environments, increases the company’s domestic production capacity for its cleanroom material handling business by 30% to meet rising global demand.
