Hall 3 / Stand 3B51

Fives, one of the world’s most renowned partners for transforming supply chain facilities, will be exhibiting at the LogiMAT logistics trade show from March 24 to 26, 2026, in Stuttgart, Germany (Hall 3 / Stand 3B51). Among its extensive portfolio of solutions for the complete automation of logistics operations, Fives will present a live demo of its latest robotic cell for mix-palettizing, and will present a mockup of GENI-Hive, the ultimate automated solution for applications requiring complex handling functions.

Fives, addressing challenges across industries

Fives is a global leader and integrator of advanced, scalable, and sustainable solutions for automation, material handling, and sorting. These solutions are designed to enhance warehouse management and operational efficiency in diverse industries, including retail, e-commerce, food, third-party logistics (3PL), parcel and postal services, and other manufacturing sectors.

Thanks to its customer-centric approach and global presence, Fives supports its clients throughout the entire lifecycle of their facilities. From design to operations, the company delivers tailor-made, high-performance turnkey solutions and comprehensive aftermarket services such as spare parts, field service, maintenance programs, and retrofit solutions—available anywhere in the world.

A smart robotic solution to automate single-item order preparation

Fives’ robotic solution is a collaborative robot-gripper able to detect and handle a wide range of parcels, regardless of size or packaging. Designed for open or fragile items, it speeds up picking, reduces repetitive strain, and manages both single-item preparation and high-throughput mixed-pallet depalletizing. Its universal gripper preserves parcel integrity and adapts to variable flows without manual adjustments. With throughput of up to 200 parcels/hour in collaborative mode and 400 in non-collaborative mode, it delivers high performance while ensuring operator safety.

GENI-Hive: the solution for complex handling

The GENI-Hive technology is the ideal solution for applications requiring complex handling functions. Designed to perform multiple operations, it can manage a wide variety of product types and formats with outstanding efficiency.

One of its key configurations is the singulation. Unlike traditional singulators currently available on the market, GENI-Hive stands out for its extremely compact footprint. With the GENI-Hive singulator, customers benefit from peak performance packed into less than 4 m².

Combining hardware, software and AI, GENI-Hive delivers a smart automation solution designed for fast deployment, maximum accuracy and a rapid return on investment (ROI).

Unmatched expertise in intralogistics optimization

The benefits of Fives’ solutions highlight its expertise in enhancing intralogistics operations:

— Boosting performance: A variety of sorting solutions, including high-speed shoe sorters, autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), and high-capacity cross-belt sorters, efficiently handle everything from small, non-mechanizable parcels to irregular and oversized items.

Smart Automation Solutions

— Maximizing productivity: Advanced technologies and modular designs streamline automated parcel and pallet picking processes, enabling retailers to manage more items, reduce picking times, and minimize errors.

— Enhancing flexibility: Micro-fulfillment solutions optimize warehouse utilization and accelerate piece-picking processes, supporting customers’ omnichannel strategies.

— Bringing scalability: Agile automation solutions allow smaller companies to start with lower investments, scaling up as their business and market evolve.

— Optimizing flow management: Cutting-edge management and control software—such as Warehouse Management Systems (WMS), Warehouse Control Systems (WCS), and Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES)—ensures seamless logistics operations. These systems offer 360° digital solutions for predictive maintenance and real-time customer support.
