E80 Group presents a fully integrated ecosystem at LogiMAT 2026

E80 Group, one of the global leaders in automated intralogistics solutions, is excited to announce its participation in LogiMAT 2026, taking place at the Stuttgart Exhibition Centre from March 24 to 26, 2026. At Hall 5 – Booth 5F37, visitors will discover how the company is shaping the future of end‑to‑end automation for both production facilities and distribution centers, introducing a new generation of integrated, data‑driven technologies, such as automated truck loading and unloading systems, advanced case and layer picking solutions, and industry-leading safety technologies.

End-to-end intralogistics solutions: from Production to Distribution

As market dynamics become more demanding and supply networks evolve, manufacturers and distributors—especially in the CPG and Grocery sectors—require scalable, flexible, and reliable systems. E80 Group addresses these needs with a modular ecosystem that seamlessly connects receiving, storage, production, picking, and shipping.

Whether upgrading existing plants, brownfield, or developing greenfield sites, the company delivers hardware and software solutions designed to enhance efficiency and safety.

At the core of this ecosystem is SM.I.LE80, E80 Group’s proprietary software platform that orchestrates all automated operations. From inbound handling to final truck loading, SM.I.LE80 coordinates automated guided vehicles (AGV), end-of-line systems, high-density storage and shipping processes ensuring real‑time traceability, flow optimization, and consistent performance, enabling customers to adapt quickly to changing business requirements.

With more than 45 years of experience, E80 Group has integrated over 450 smart factories and DCs worldwide, with a fleet of over 9,000 automated guided vehicles and 2,800 robotic systems and various AS/RS warehouses, handling products worth more than €1.5 billion worldwide every day. By combining innovation and sustainability, E80 Group continues to raise the standard for safe, efficient, and connected intralogistics.

Building on the company’s extensive experience, E80 Group introduces a comprehensive suite of technologies designed specifically for distribution centers and production factories, where speed, accuracy, and multichannel capability are key.

Revolutionizing Truck Loading and Unloading Operations

E80 Group is transforming intralogistics with AGVs that automate the unloading and loading of truck operations with exceptional precision. With extensive experience gained in the US market, where the Group has successfully rolled out these solutions, the Italian multinational is now launching them on the European market.

Combining AGVs equipped with advanced visual technology, and supporting hardware and software for docks, this solution enables customers to improve pallet handling and ensure accurate positioning, drastically reducing damages to both products and structure and significantly increasing safety in shipping areas. Automated truck unloading and loading is a pivotal feature in a fully integrated intralogistics solution that E80 Group has been developing worldwide for over 40 years, connecting all flows from raw material management to final shipment.

A new era for smart, integrated distribution centers

E80 Group has introduced an advanced integrated solution to optimize storage and picking operations in large-scale retail distribution centers.

The Italian company also innovates order preparation thanks to automatic layer and case picking solutions, integrated with advanced robotic technologies. Coordinated by the SM.I.LE80 platform that orchestrates the flow of the system, these systems connect to the ERP, from which they receive orders for the management and preparation of cases within the warehouse.

Integrated with cutting-edge storage solutions for case handling, the systems ensure high performance, managing different types of products and preparing orders according to the stores layout. This integrated approach perfectly supports multichannel logistics, making it ideal for the CPG and Grocery sectors, where speed, flexibility and reliability are crucial to meet market demands. Once orders have been prepared, laser-guided vehicles handle staging and automated truck loading, handling full and mixed pallets with maximum precision. This modular and flexible solution can be easily scaled by adding new vehicles as operational needs evolve.

Safety at the Core of Innovation

Safety remains the foundation of E80 Group’s innovation strategy. This solid commitment drives the development of advanced technologies that protect people and also enhance operational continuity, ensuring a secure intralogistics process in both factories and distribution centers.

International regulations require automated guided vehicles to be equipped with proximity laser scanners to detect people in the area, alarm systems and protective covers. Our AGVs have always been designed and developed with advanced systems that comply with current regulations.

To further increase the level of security within the facilities, we have patented SmartDect: a people detection system that uses ultra-wideband technology to increase the ability of AGVs to detect the presence of workers in the surrounding area, reducing the risks associated with potentially dangerous situations arising from unpredictable behaviour.

Each AGV is equipped with sensors that communicate with tags worn by operators (no installations on infrastructure needed) within a 15-meters distance. These tags enable real-time monitoring of workers‘ movements, providing immediate feedback through vibrations, flashing signals and audible warnings. In case of potential collisions, AGVs equipped with SmartDect slow down or stop automatically, ensuring an improvement to safe working environment.
