Partnership Showcases End-to-End Logistics Automation

Automha and Comau are presenting a joint portfolio of end-to-end logistics automation solutions at LogiMAT 2026 in Stuttgart, targeting high-performance intralogistics systems for industrial and third-party logistics (3PL) environments.

Context: Growth in automated logistics systems
The automated logistics market is projected to grow at a compound annual rate exceeding 10%, driven by increasing demand for scalable, integrated systems. Operators are seeking solutions that can optimise the entire logistics value chain, from inbound handling to storage, order fulfilment, and dispatch.

The collaboration between Automha and Comau addresses this need by combining expertise in storage automation, robotics, and digital integration.

Integrated solution: End-to-end logistics architecture
The joint offering combines Automha’s automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS) with Comau’s robotics, autonomous mobile systems, and digital integration capabilities.

This enables a continuous workflow covering inbound goods handling, intelligent storage strategies, automated storage and retrieval, order picking, and synchronised outbound logistics. The approach supports system-level optimisation and can include process design, software orchestration, and turnkey implementation.

Technology focus: Shuttle systems and mobile robotics
Automha is presenting its Quaterways multidirectional shuttle system, designed to move orthogonally within warehouse aisles and storage channels. This enables continuous movement without the need for transfer systems, reducing cycle times and improving operational flexibility.

The system integrates with Automha’s warehouse management software, allowing real-time control, dynamic route optimisation, and handling of different pallet formats within the same storage channel.

The Autosat GTR shuttle system is also featured, offering high-density pallet storage with broad compatibility across warehouse infrastructures. With extensive global deployment, the system supports flexible integration in both new and existing facilities.

Robotics and ergonomics: Enhancing operational efficiency
Comau contributes autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) for flexible material transport between storage areas and production lines. These systems support just-in-time logistics and reduce non-value-added movements.

In addition, wearable exoskeletons are presented to improve operator ergonomics during repetitive or physically demanding tasks. These systems reduce strain on the shoulders and lower back, supporting safer manual handling operations.

Applications: Industrial and 3PL environments
The combined solution targets a wide range of applications, including e-commerce fulfilment centres, industrial intralogistics, and third-party logistics operations. The system is designed to handle variable demand, complex workflows, and high-throughput requirements.

Event context
The solutions are showcased at LogiMAT 2026, held from 24 to 26 March in Stuttgart, Germany, in Hall 1, Stand F37.

Conclusion: Integrated automation for scalable logistics
By combining storage automation, mobile robotics, and digital orchestration, Automha and Comau provide a unified approach to intralogistics system design. The partnership reflects the increasing importance of integrated, end-to-end automation in meeting the efficiency and scalability requirements of modern logistics operations.
