Hall 4, Booth 4C12
AKL-tec GmbH, headquartered in Alsdorf/Sieg, will be exhibiting at LogiMAT from March 24 to 26, 2026. At Hall 4, Booth 4C12, the company—specialized in automated freight measurement and intelligent logistics solutions—will present, among other innovations, a system for automated pallet inspection.
A key focus of the trade fair appearance is automated pallet inspection. AKL-tec will demonstrate on site how modern image processing systems and AI-based analysis methods can reliably identify Class C pallets and remove them from circulation. These pallets often exhibit safety-critical defects such as missing or broken boards or the absence of an EPAL marking, posing a potential risk to process reliability. Automated inspection increases process safety, reduces manual inspection efforts, and significantly enhances efficiency throughout the entire supply chain.
From Measurement to Value: Smarter Logistics Automation
In addition, AKL-tec will showcase further solutions for efficient logistics automation. The focus is on systems for precise volume and weight measurement, enabling reliable and transparent master data capture. The collected data can be seamlessly integrated into existing IT, ERP, and warehouse management systems, forming the basis for end-to-end, digitally controlled logistics processes.The solutions cover a wide range of applications—from ergonomic workstation systems for manual measurements to stationary, fully automated systems with integrated measuring, weighing, photo, and geometric data capture. Companies benefit from improved warehouse space utilization, optimized packaging and shipping processes, reduced empty shipments, and lower material consumption.AKL-tec will also present compact, spacesaving systems designed for warehouse and shipping areas with limited space. These systems provide reliable dimensional data in real time and support continuous automation across the entire material flow.
AI in Action: Exclusive Insights into Automated Freight Measurement
“We are not only presenting our products for logistics optimization, but also showcasing our expertise in artificial intelligence and deep learning,” explains Managing Director Rüdiger Elben, adding that these technologies have been part of AKL-tec’s solutions for quite some time, helping to make processes more efficient and secure. In this context, Elben will also give a presentation on the final day of the trade fair: starting at 12:30 p.m., visitors can gain insights into automated freight measurement and learn more about AI-based solutions for optimizing logistics processes at Hall 4, Forum South.
