InControl at LogiMAT 2026:
Digital Twin Technology for Smarter Intralogistics Decisions
InControl will be exhibiting at LogiMAT 2026, the leading international trade fair for intralogistics solutions and process management. The event takes place from 24–26 March 2026 at the Stuttgart Trade Fair Centre. Visitors can find InControl at Booth #4A65, where we will demonstrate how digital twin technology supports better decisions in material handling and logistics.
LogiMAT is widely recognised as the European platform for practical, future-oriented intralogistics innovation. Each year, the exhibition brings together logistics professionals looking to improve performance in increasingly complex environments — characterised by automation, data-driven control, labour constraints and volatile demand patterns. These challenges align closely with the problems digital twins are designed to address.
The central theme at LogiMAT 2026 is the move towards intelligent, interconnected intralogistics systems. Automation, robotics, AI-supported planning and real-time data are no longer standalone technologies; they must work together as part of an integrated operation. As systems grow in scale and complexity, understanding their behaviour before making changes becomes essential.
InControl’s powerful digital twin software enables organisations to model, simulate and analyse logistics systems as a whole. By creating a virtual representation of warehouses, distribution centres or production logistics, decision-makers can evaluate design choices, automation strategies and operational rules without disrupting live operations. This reduces implementation risk and provides quantitative insight into performance, capacity and resilience.
Automation and robotics remain key focus areas, including conveyors, automated storage systems, AGVs and AMRs. While these technologies offer clear potential, their success depends heavily on how well they are integrated into the broader logistics flow.
Digital twins help bridge this gap. With InControl Enterprise Dynamics®, organisations can test how automation interacts with existing processes, human operators and control logic. Scenarios such as peak loads, system failures or layout changes can be evaluated in advance, helping teams make informed investment decisions and avoid costly redesigns after implementation.
Another important theme is the use of data to support planning, optimisation and continuous improvement. InControl’s technology supports this approach by turning operational data into actionable insight. Digital twins can be used not only during the design phase, but throughout the lifecycle of a system — from concept validation and commissioning to operational optimisation and future expansion.
By experimenting in a virtual environment, organisations gain a deeper understanding of system behaviour and trade-offs. This enables logistics teams to answer critical “what-if” questions and align operational decisions with strategic objectives.
