Exploring Intelligent Warehouse Automation at MODEX 2026 with Stoecklin
The supply chain industry is evolving at an unprecedented pace. From rising order volumes to ongoing labor challenges and increasing expectations for speed and accuracy, warehouses and distribution centers are under pressure to do more with less. That's why industry leaders from around the world will gather in Atlanta from April 13 -16, 2026 for one of the most important logistics and supply chain events of the year, MODEX 2026.
Stoecklin Logistics will be among the innovators exhibiting at this year's event, inviting visitors to stop by Booth C12588 to explore how intelligent automation is transforming intralogistics and helping companies unlock new operational efficiencies.
Discover Intelligent Automation in Action
MODEX has become the premier venue for discovering the technologies shaping the future of supply chains. From robotics and AI-driven software to autonomous vehicles and warehouse management systems, the show floor offers a glimpse into how modern distribution operations are becoming more connected, automated, and resilient.
At the Stoecklin booth, attendees will have the opportunity to explore two powerful automation solutions designed to improve warehouse performance and flexibility: the FSP Shuttle System for automated small parts storage and the Stoecklin CasePicker Solution for intelligent store-ready palletizing.
Together, these technologies demonstrate how advanced automation can streamline material flow, reduce manual handling, and support high-throughput operations across modern distribution environments.
Flexible High-Performance Storage with the FSP Shuttle System
The Stoecklin FSP Shuttle System provides an automated storage and retrieval solution designed specifically for high-performance small parts warehouses. Built for scalability and adaptability, the system helps organizations manage increasing order volumes and tighter delivery timelines without expanding their facility footprint.
Dynamic shuttle vehicles form the heart of the system, handling storage and retrieval tasks across multiple storage levels. Each shuttle uses a variable load-handling device that can adjust to different container widths, allowing the system to accommodate a wide range of containers, cartons, and trays weighing up to 110 pounds.
Because shuttle vehicles operate in parallel across the system, storage and retrieval processes can occur simultaneously throughout the warehouse. This parallel operation allows distribution centers to maintain high throughput while ensuring goods are transported safely and precisely.
The modular design of the FSP Shuttle System allows organizations to scale capacity as their operations grow. The system can be tailored with racking, lifters, conveyors, shuttle vehicles, and integrated control software to match specific performance requirements.
For warehouses handling large volumes of small items, the benefits can be significant:
The result is a storage solution that combines flexibility, speed, and operational reliability.
Intelligent Case Handling with the Stoecklin CasePicker Solution
In addition to automated storage, Stoecklin will showcase its CasePicker Solution, an automated system designed to streamline store-ready pallet building. This technology enables distribution centers to depalletize inbound product pallets and automatically create mixed store pallets in a single continuous process. Rather than relying on intermediate storage or buffer zones, containers are automatically removed from incoming pallets, sequenced, and palletized directly into store-specific configurations.
The CasePicker system uses an innovative depalletizing robot equipped with a specialized gripper that combines vacuum and mechanical gripping technologies. This allows the system to gently handle both returnable and non-returnable containers while maintaining high speeds and reliable performance.
Once removed from the inbound pallet, containers move through a sequence of pre-stacking and conveying processes before being palletized in the correct order for store delivery. Intelligent stacking ensures heavier items are placed at the bottom and lighter goods on top, creating stable mixed pallets optimized for retail distribution.
This approach delivers several operational advantages:
For retailers serving hundreds of stores, the CasePicker Solution helps create store-ready pallets quickly and efficiently while maintaining high picking accuracy.
Intelligent Control with logOS Software
Automation hardware is only one part of the equation. The real power of modern intralogistics systems comes from the software that orchestrates operations.
At the heart of Stoecklin's automation approach is the logOS software suite, which enables intelligent coordination of warehouse processes and automation equipment. Through tight integration between IT and operational technology, logOS provides real-time control over material flow, order management, and system performance.
The software platform allows organizations to:
By connecting storage systems, automated handling equipment, and warehouse processes, logOS creates a responsive and scalable logistics infrastructure capable of adapting to changing operational conditions.
Automation That Works with People
While automation often focuses on efficiency gains, one of its most important benefits is improving the working environment for employees.
Warehouse jobs frequently involve repetitive lifting, strenuous movements, and physically demanding tasks. Automation systems such as shuttle-based storage and automated case handling reduce these physical demands, allowing employees to focus on higher-value responsibilities such as system supervision, quality control, and process optimization.
Shifting heavy or repetitive work to automation not only improves safety but also helps organizations retain skilled workers by creating more sustainable roles within warehouse operations.
Flexible Systems for a Changing Supply Chain
Supply chains rarely remain static. Consumer demand shifts, product lines evolve, and distribution strategies change. For automation investments to deliver long term value, they must be adaptable.
Both the FSP Shuttle System and the CasePicker Solution are designed with scalability and modularity in mind. Systems can be expanded or adapted as operations grow, allowing organizations to increase throughput and storage capacity without major infrastructure changes.
Combined with robust service and maintenance support, these solutions are built to deliver reliable performance and long service life.
