SAFELOG showcases robot solutions at LogiMAT
At LogiMAT 2026, SAFELOG will be placing the topic of goods-to-person at the centre of its trade fair presentation. The ever-growing demands of e-commerce and increasing consolidation in fulfilment centres make the final process steps between pick port, consolidation, and packaging crucial performance factors.
In Hall 5, Booth 5C29, SAFELOG will demonstrate how modern mobile robotics accelerates precisely this critical zone while significantly improving the scalability of fulfilment processes.
The market is changing noticeably. While automatic small parts warehouses, automated storage and retrieval systems (ASRS), and shuttle systems have long been standard, the biggest bottlenecks today occur in the transition zones between the picking port, consolidation, and packaging. This is exactly where SAFELOG comes in. “We are observing that the majority of our customers’ automation projects are currently goods-to-person projects,” says Mathias Behounek, Managing Director of SAFELOG GmbH. “The requirements are clear: faster throughput, fewer errors, greater ergonomics, while remaining flexible and scalable. Our robots are designed precisely for this purpose.”
At LogiMAT, SAFELOG is presenting three key models that together form a comprehensive solution portfolio for goods-to-person processes. The GT1 spin is the flagship model for shelf and pallet-to-person applications. With its compact design, it can move under shelves of various types, lift them safely, and transport them flexibly through narrow fulfilment layouts. The GT1 really shows its strengths in established structures where the geometry is not perfect. Its manoeuvrability and integrated turning function make it an ideal tool for dynamic warehouse processes.
The XS1 handles the high-speed routes between the pick port and the packing station. With its high travel speed of up to 4 m/s and error-free container allocation, it ensures that bottlenecks in the pick-pack transition are avoided. The XS1 demonstrates its full efficiency in high-cycle environments.
Both the GT1 and the XS1 work with SAFELOG’s agent-based control software, which does not require a central control station. The robots communicate in a swarm, distribute tasks independently, and the fleet remains fully functional even if individual vehicles fail. This architecture has proven itself many times in practice and enables easy scaling without complex infrastructure measures. At the same time, the vehicles support the VDA-5050 standard and can therefore also be integrated into mixed fleets.
For fulfilment operators, this means shorter throughput times, less manual transport, greater process reliability, and the ability to respond flexibly to seasonal peaks. The robots can be integrated into existing layouts without the need for costly structural modifications. This is a decisive advantage, especially in brownfield environments – even across multiple floors. Mobile robots can negotiate floor changes with the help of an interface to lifts and console lifts, so that even multi-story fulfilment centres can be automated seamlessly and without problems.
