Intralox to showcase SmartPath Singulator and Gapper for mid- and high-throughput logistics operations at LogiMAT 2026

Hall 1, Stand 1GA89

• Intralox to showcase its SmartPath solution at LogiMAT 2026, which offers singulation and gapping in one compact unit
• Combines capability of two pieces of equipment in a 2.4-meter footprint while increasing throughput across diverse package types, including polybags
• SmartPath pairs seamlessly with the Intralox ARB Sorter S7000 for even greater efficiency and minimal overall footprint in warehouse and distribution centre operations

Intralox, a global provider of specialty material handling equipment for warehouses and distribution centres, announces its presence at LogiMAT 2026, March 24-26 in Stuttgart, Germany. At stand 1GA89 in hall 1G, the company will show its full line of material handling equipment, including induction, switching, merging, singulating, gapping and sorter solutions. This year’s Intralox booth features the SmartPath™ Singulator and Gapper.

SmartPath is an activated roller belt (ARB) solution that combines both singulation and gapping functions into a single, compact piece of piece of equipment. It sits upstream of a sorter and can prepare 2D bulk package flow to be merged into a single-file stream for an automated sorter. Extremely small activation zones enable precise, independent control and low error rates, increasing throughput of a wide range of package types, including polybags. SmartPath can also act as a buffer, momentarily holding or slowing packages to match induction rates that the downstream sorter is designed to handle. This capability helps avoid jams and maximize downstream sorter equipment with no operator intervention required. With a length of just 2.4 meters (eight feet), SmartPath requires up to 42% less space compared to other solutions.

“Space is always at a premium in logistics facilities, whether you’re trying to minimize the footprint of a new system or retrofitting around existing conveyors,” says Florian Mattheis, Industry Team Leader EMEA, Intralox. “SmartPath delivers the gapping performance downstream systems need while fitting into even the tightest layouts, which is why it’s so valuable to order fulfilment processes.”

SmartPath integrates into new or existing lines and can be utilized in several warehouse applications, including:

• Singulating and gapping packed orders for outbound sortation. After employees pack orders and place them on conveyor, SmartPath singulates and gaps each order properly before handing off to the shipping sorters.
• Returns processing. As returned orders enter warehouse and distribution centres as irregular, non-uniform bulk flow, SmartPath singulates and gaps orders for further processing through automated systems.
• Autoinduction to loop sorters. SmartPath provides the precise, constant stream of packages high-speed loop sorters require, helping reduce labor requirements and maximize sorter utilization.

Pairing SmartPath with the Intralox ARB Sorter S7000 can enable an even more condensed footprint, using up to 60% less space than other approaches. This is a key example of how the company’s technology integrates seamlessly and works together to provide additional value and address the evolving needs of parcel and warehouse operations. The Intralox bulk-to-sorted product line offers a range of equipment to handle incoming bulk flow, induction, singulation, gapping and sortation, unlocking greater capability and performance while reducing cost and footprint.
