Logistics Planning Day: Klinkhammer Focuses on AI and Holistic Logistics Planning

The intralogistics system integrator Klinkhammer is moving the industry. At the Logistics Planning Day on November 10, 2026, in Nuremberg, everything revolved around how to optimally plan the logistics of tomorrow. The event brought together logistics experts and industry enthusiasts to discuss current challenges, new technologies, and future-proof concepts.

Instead of gray theory, there was plenty of practice. It quickly became clear: Successful logistics planning is much more than selecting a warehouse technology. It combines processes, people, data, and technology into an intelligent overall system. The focus was on questions that many companies are currently dealing with: How can material flows be made more efficient? What role do automation, digitization, AI, and humanoid robots play? And how do logistics systems remain flexible when requirements and markets are changing ever faster? The event took place at a special, fast-paced location, the DB Museum in Nuremberg, and was complemented by an exclusive tour of railway rarities.

Practical Examples Were the Focus

Pioneering practical examples were the focus of the speakers from the companies Förch, Raps, Martin Bauer, Astrum IT, and Korrodin - from site planning to warehouse concept to implementation. Experts provided exclusive insights into their planning and automation projects and openly reported on the hurdles and opportunities they encountered. In his keynote on "Modern Tools for Efficient Logistics Planning," Prof. Dr.-Ing. Johannes Fottner from the Technical University of Munich also discussed how AI and simulation are changing the planning process. Werner Spiegl from Astrum IT and Dr. Dirk Liekenbrock from Klinkhammer Intralogistics also demonstrated the significance of AI and gave practical tips on how logistics planning can achieve more.

"Successful logistics planning does not begin with the selection of technology, but with a precise data analysis. Only when locations, processes, requirements, and economic goals are considered holistically from the start do future-proof and efficient warehousing solutions emerge," explains Frank Klinkhammer, Managing Director of Klinkhammer Intralogistics GmbH.
