MODEX 2026: Cutting-edge warehouse robots, AMRs & more

Festo will showcase its FPaKit Palletizer-in-a-Box, which is designed for machine builders and system integrators serving distribution, fulfillment and warehouse operations. The pre-engineered gantry palletizing kit combines mechanics, controls and software into a foundation that speeds deployment while delivering higher payloads, full workspace coverage and industrial-grade reliability. System integrators and machine builders can select an FPaKit by load capacity: 44 lb (20 kg) for the LW2x kit, 66 lb (30 kg) for the LW3x kit, and up to 110 lb (50 kg) for the MW4x customized kit. Festo palletizing software features an easy-to-use web browser interface (Chrome, Edge, or Firefox) that doesn't require programming knowledge. A one-click function supports fast adjustments to changing pack patterns. In addition to FPaKit, Festo will highlight its portfolio of electric and pneumatic components for intralogistics motion automation, supporting pushing and sorting, gripping and picking, and lifting and conveying applications across modern warehouse environments.
