IntraLogisteX, the only logistics exhibition to take place in the UK in 2015, will include a host of special zones and pavilions highlighting different aspects of intralogistics:
* AMHSA members will be highlighting innovations in automated handling and storage.
* There will be a comprehensive seminar programme focusing on critical issues in intralogistics operations.
* Demonstration zones will highlight the latest technology in action.
* And a special feature for 2015 will be a “Future Zone” demonstrating cutting-edge technologies that will impact on intralogistics in the years to come.
Investment in the logistics market is being driven by a number of factors: the shortage of quality warehousing; e-commerce; omni-channel and a reviving economy – particularly for 2015.
With new warehouses comes storage, materials handling add e-commerce into the equation and the solutions become more complex.

Integrating levels of automation alongside manual processes with storage, sorting, picking and packing means logistics management are constantly under pressure.
IntraLogisteX can call on the support of the most respected magazines in the logistics and supply chain markets: Logistics Manager and Supply Chain Standard, and it has an unrivalled 80,000 strong database of logistics professionals.
IntraLogisteX combines exhibition stands with demos and seminars to provide the level of information companies need to improve their operations.
