5 Exhibitors to Visit at LogiMAT 2027

Paid placement disclosure. These exhibitor sections are paid Shared Spotlight placements. Inclusion is not an award, ranking, or TradeShowIntel endorsement, and it does not affect independent Floor Picks.Disclosure version 2026-09

Why a planned route matters at LogiMAT

LogiMAT runs from 16 to 18 March 2027 at Messe Stuttgart, one of Europe's larger trade fair venues, and routinely draws thousands of exhibitors across multiple halls covering everything from conveyor components to full warehouse execution systems. Walking the floor without a plan means spending the first morning navigating between unrelated stands and arriving at priority meetings already fatigued.

The five companies featured in this Shared Spotlight, Schaefer Systems International, Daifuku, KUKA Robotics, Kardex, and Boston Dynamics, collectively address the buyer jobs that come up earliest in a distribution center or 3PL automation evaluation: goods-to-person system selection, AMR fleet interoperability, high-throughput sortation, small-parts storage, and flexible case handling. Visiting them in sequence on day one leaves the rest of the show free for deeper follow-up or category exploration.

Why these exhibitors

Five stands, one coherent automation evaluation

These five companies were selected because they address adjacent buyer jobs rather than competing for the same decision. A distribution center team evaluating a full automation roadmap will typically need to assess goods-to-person storage systems, AMR fleet management, sortation throughput, small-parts retrieval, and flexible robotic case handling in the same planning cycle. Schaefer Systems International covers integrated storage and WMS; Daifuku addresses sortation and mobile robotics at scale; KUKA Robotics focuses on open-standard AMR fleet interoperability; Kardex specializes in vertical lift modules and AutoStore extensions; and Boston Dynamics presents mobile robots for trailer unloading and inbound case handling. Visiting all five in a single morning gives a buyer a comparative view across the automation stack without requiring multiple return trips to the same area of the hall. This is a curated set of paid placements, not a ranking or a complete list of relevant exhibitors at the show.

How to use this Shared Spotlight

Download the hall map before arrival Messe Stuttgart publishes an interactive floor plan on the official LogiMAT website. Cross-reference the booth numbers for Schaefer Systems International, Daifuku, KUKA Robotics, Kardex, and Boston Dynamics before you arrive so you can mark each location and identify the nearest entrance for your first stop.
Read each exhibitor card in advance Each card in this Shared Spotlight includes a specific buyer job and a clear reason to stop. Review them the evening before so you arrive at each stand with a focused question rather than a general inquiry, which shortens the conversation and gets you to a technical contact faster.
Walk the route in the order listed The five stands are sequenced to reduce backtracking across the venue. Follow the suggested order on day one and note any follow-up questions for day two, when crowds are typically lighter and floor staff have more time for detailed discussions.
Capture contacts at each stop Ask for a technical or solutions contact at each stand, not just the general sales representative. LogiMAT exhibitors often bring application engineers who can discuss integration specifics, and those conversations are harder to recreate after the show.

Floor-planning tip Block the first two hours of day one, roughly 09:00 to 11:00, exclusively for this five-stand route, before the main hall aisles reach peak congestion and while exhibitor staff are fresh and available for substantive conversations.
