Universal Robots and MiR present new technologies for optimizing logistics processes at LogiMAT 2025

Universal Robots and MiR not only present their current innovations but also showcase collaboration projects with Siemens and other partners. MiR also introduces a new product that enables seamless interoperability and greater flexibility for customers.

Universal Robots (UR), a global leader in collaborative robots (cobots), and Mobile Industrial Robots (MiR), manufacturer of autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), will showcase their latest developments in automation at LogiMAT 2025 in Stuttgart on a joint booth. From March 11 to 13, visitors can experience innovative technologies in Hall 8, Stand D41, covering 150 m², specifically designed to optimize intralogistics processes.

A highlight at the booth will be the seamless interaction between the MiR1200 Pallet Jack and MiR1350 with the new UR20 palletizing station. Interested visitors can watch live as packages are stacked onto pallets using the UR20 robot, while the AMR from MiR simultaneously ensures a seamless material flow between different locations. This solution is ideally suited for palletizing and intralogistics tasks. The UR20, with a payload of 25 kg, belongs to the latest, significantly more powerful generation of cobots and offers great flexibility, compactness, and high user-friendliness despite its load capacity.

Fernando Fandiño Oliver, EMEA Sales Director at MiR, says: "The logistics industry is already highly automated, but the demand for robotic solutions continues to grow. We at MiR are therefore very pleased to present our latest development to the public for the first time at LogiMAT."

Alexander Waschbuesch, Vice President Sales EMEA at Universal Robots, adds: "Cobots are perfectly tailored to the needs of the logistics industry, as they can increase productivity and relieve workers from tedious tasks. This is especially true for palletizing and order picking. Processes can be accelerated and made more precise. We are glad to present our latest solutions together with MiR and our partners at LogiMAT and to give visitors the opportunity to try out cobot applications themselves."

Automated order picking with Siemens and Cellgo

Assembling and palletizing goods for customer orders is a routine task in the logistics industry and often labor-intensive for employees. Cobots can support here and also compensate for potential labor shortages. UR demonstrates this together with its partners Siemens and Cellgo. Visitors can experience the use of a new automated shelving system (RBG): robots move boxes within a shelf and place them at various locations as needed. At the same time, a UR robot demonstrates precise order picking from containers using Siemens' software Simatic Robot Pick AI — an AI-based vision software for robotic solutions based on machine learning. This solution showcases the capabilities of intelligent robotics in warehouse logistics.

Furthermore, UR and MiR will present:

– The enhanced functionality of the MiR1200 Pallet Jack. This innovation allows flexible handling of pallets at different height levels.
– The mobile cobot MC250, which also facilitates internal logistics processes.
– The current software platform PolyScope X from UR. With its intuitive user interface, PolyScope X supports quick onboarding and improves both user-friendliness and efficiency. Additionally, the platform offers advanced programming features for more complex automation tasks. Interested visitors can try out the software in interactive hands-on sessions.
