[ICPI WEEK 2026] KENGIC Unveils 8 Automation Systems, Presenting Integrated Sorting and Storage Logistics Strategy

[산업일보]
Logistics automation technology is evolving toward meeting simultaneous demands for high-speed processing and space efficiency. Amidst this trend, KENGIC revealed its intralogistics strategy, integrating various sorting and storage automation technologies, at ICPI WEEK 2026. The exhibition took place from March 31 to April 3, 2026, at KINTEX in Ilsan, Goyang.

Building on the automation technologies previously showcased at LogiMAT in Germany, KENGIC introduced solutions tailored specifically for the Asian market. The exhibition focused on live equipment demonstrations, reflecting the unique logistics environment and rapid growth of the Korean market.


A total of eight automation systems were introduced, centering on the areas of Sorting and Storage. It was emphasized that these machines were designed not only for individual functionality but also for integrated operation.

In the field of sorting technology, systems capable of responding to diverse logistics environments were unveiled. The 3D Sorter is designed to handle irregular cargo and non-conveyor items, enabling classification tasks even within complex logistics flows. The Cross-Belt Sorter (CBS) is structured for large-scale logistics hubs, aiming for high-throughput response. Additionally, the Narrow-Belt Sorter and Steerable Wheel Sorter, which are applicable in confined spaces, were introduced.

For storage automation, systems for high-density storage and rapid inbound/outbound processing were presented. The Fly Shuttle performs item movement across multi-layer structures and is designed to maximize space utilization. The Pallet 4-Way Shuttle is applied to pallet-unit logistics, configured to operate even in complex layouts. The Tote Multi-shuttle system supports operator-centric picking structures, considering operational efficiency by transporting goods directly to the workstation.

KENGIC also introduced a software platform to integrate these hardware systems. Rather than operating individually, each piece of equipment is managed as a single system connected through data. This design enables real-time data tracking, operational status analysis, and the establishment of maintenance plans.

Leon Li, General Manager for East Asia and the Americas at KENGIC, stated, "The Asian market is changing rapidly, and the level of demand for logistics automation is rising. In this exhibition, we aimed to present structures applicable to various industrial environments through actual equipment." He further explained, "The systems were configured to reflect the requirements of diverse industries such as e-commerce, pharmaceuticals, food, and cold chain."


The necessity for designs that consider both high-density storage and fast processing speeds was also noted, especially as space constraints in logistics centers intensify. System designs applicable to multi-layer structures and irregular spaces were presented as key considerations.

Through this exhibition, KENGIC emphasized a scalable system approach applicable to various industries by presenting an integrated logistics automation structure that combines sorting, storage, and software. This strategy is interpreted as reflecting the shift in automation systems from single-equipment-centered to integrated operational structures amidst the changing logistics landscape.
