IGZ Retrofit Day 2026 New energy for your intralogistics

We kindly invite you to the first IGZ Retrofit Day. On Tuesday, 16 June 2026, you can look forward to a compact and practical day of events at the IGZ Innovation Center in Falkenberg focusing on future-proof logistics through smart modernization of existing systems.

Many logistics systems in industry and retail have been providing reliable service for years - but are increasingly reaching their limits: rising throughput requirements, outdated control and software landscapes and new safety and cybersecurity requirements are increasing the pressure to modernize. A complete new build is often neither economical nor necessary.

Against this backdrop, the IGZ Retrofit Day shows how existing logistics systems can be sustainably upgraded for the future through targeted retrofitting and modernization measures - regardless of manufacturer, during ongoing operations and with minimal risks.

Together with our customers, we present practical examples of how IGZ retrofit projects for automated small parts warehouses, pallet high-bay warehouses, sorter and shuttle systems are successfully implemented - from software replacement and the renewal of control and safety technology to mechanical modernization and capacity expansions. The focus is on real project reports.
