... dear readers, this year's Logimat is once again all about logistics, and on a grand scale. The international trade fair for intralogistics solutions and process management covers the entire range of topics from procurement to production and delivery of goods.
Technologies, products and systems for streamlining and optimizing internal logistics processes are clearly handling topics. That's why we are dedicating a special to the trade fair, and of course our editorial team will also be on site. The trade fair organizer Euroexpo has announced full halls from 19 to 21 February 2019 in Stuttgart.
In the meantime, we have once again put together an interesting schedule of topics relating to industrial automation for you this year, with which we will provide you with many exciting articles both in print and online. Your input from the industry is of great value to us and your feedback as a reader is very welcome. Take a look at all the topics, specials and dates at www.handling.de/mediadaten.htm. Use the handling knowledge platform to present your products and solutions and take advantage of our reach.
See you in Stuttgart! I wish you an interesting read,
Your
