Swisslog to showcase next-generation automation solutions at CeMAT Australia 2026

This year, Swisslog will feature its grid-based ASRS solution AutoStore, the new 4-way pallet shuttle system WonderStore as well as the SynQ software platform. Swisslog solutions are designed to increase storage density, throughput flexibility and operational efficiency in fast-moving distribution environments. KUKA will exhibit demo applications including Autonomous Mobile Robots from its KMP portfolio and industrial robots.

These modular, software-driven solutions help supply chain operators build long-term resilience, flexibility, and performance. They are a core part of the Swisslog and KUKA Automation 2.0 strategy. Automation 2.0 is the next step in industrial automation. It moves beyond individual machines to fully connected, intelligent, and software-driven production and logistics systems.

Ready for the Next: 5 key pillars for future-ready automation

“Supply chains need to continuously adapt,” says Steve Dimitrovski, Director of Sales, Swisslog Australia and New Zealand. “Our focus is on delivering automation that continues to perform as businesses grow, shift, and diversify – what we call being ‘Ready for the Next’.”

Swisslog’s Ready for the Next framework outlines five key pillars for future-ready automation, including outcome-led design, modular scalability, intelligent software architecture, integrated technology ecosystems and long-term partnership models.

“The cost of implementing the wrong type of automation is rarely immediate,” says Dimitrovski. “Outdated or inflexible systems will reveal themselves through capacity constraints, costly retrofits, and technology decisions that become harder to unpick the longer they're left. Swisslog's framework closes that gap by grounding automation investment in long-term outcomes rather than point-in-time delivery.”

Exclusive Mondelēz site tours & conference presentations

During CeMAT, Swisslog will be offering exclusive guided site tours of the Mondelēz International West Melbourne distribution site, offering attendees a first-hand look at a live, high-performance automated facility in operation.

Two tour sessions will be available directly from the exhibition at 09:45 am on Tuesday and Wednesday. Spaces are strictly limited and registration is essential. To register, visit: https://hannoverfairs.eventsair.com/cemat-australia-2026/mondelez-tour-by-swisslog/Site/Register

Swisslog’s site tour of Mondelēz’s West Melbourne facility will give first-hand experience of a site is designed to handle 56,000 pallets initially in the high bay, with the room to expand the ASRS up to 62,000 in the future

“These site tours are an opportunity to see automation operating at scale in a real-world environment,” said Dimitrovski. “Mondelēz is one of the largest snack food companies in the world, and Swisslog’s ASRS solution allowed them to consolidate their Victorian Distribution Centres and their off-site storage, into one facility, with continuing benefits to efficiency, safety, and throughput.”

Swisslog and several of its customers will also be presenting at the conference, and our website will be updated with presentation details as soon as the timeslots are confirmed.

New this year: 4-way pallet shuttle

2026 marks the first time Swisslog will be showcasing its new 4-way pallet shuttle WonderStore, which it is introducing to the Australian and New Zealand market.

“Using roaming pallet shuttles, the product delivers true 4-way travel – forward, backward, lateral and vertical. The system’s modular architecture allows businesses to scale storage and throughput progressively as demand grows, without major disruption to live operations,” says Dimitrovski.

“The new shuttle is particularly well suited to operations managing increasing SKU complexity, changing fulfilment demands, and constrained warehouse space. By combining high-density storage with adaptable automation, it supports more agile and future-ready supply chain operations.”

CeMAT provides visitors with a chance to see the future of intralogistics automation first-hand, but for those that are unable to attend, Swisslog has a number of advanced automated warehouses operating across Australia and New Zealand, and can organise tours of these facilities.
