Software is becoming the true differentiator in intralogistics

Software is playing an increasingly central role in intralogistics. The focus is no longer on individual technologies or components, but on how everything works together as a system. This is where software comes into its own: connecting, coordinating and ensuring that automated processes run seamlessly end to end.

This is particularly evident in modern warehouses. Growing complexity, dynamic operations and rising demands require processes to be managed flexibly and continuously adjusted. Software plays a key role here – acting as the layer that connects different systems and enables efficient operations.

At the same time, artificial intelligence is gaining traction. It helps improve decision-making, optimize processes and respond more quickly to change. Automated systems are evolving as well: becoming more intelligent, more adaptable and better at supporting people in day-to-day operations.

In the latest episode of the Intralogistics Lounge, Jan Daske, Head of Software Sales & Consulting at Swisslog, and Dr Christian Liedtke, Strategy Consultant at KUKA, discuss how these developments are unfolding in practice – and the role software is playing in modern automation.
