Together with its parent company KUKA, Swisslog will be showing its latest portfolio of scalable warehouse automation solutions at CeMAT in Melbourne from 23–35 June at Stand D27 — including its grid-based ASRS solution AutoStore, new 4-way pallet shuttle system WonderStore and 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. The modular, software-driven solutions are designed to 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.
“Supply chains need to continuously adapt,” said 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,” said 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 “Outdated or inflexible systems will reveal themselves through capacity constraints, costly retrofits, and technology decisions that become harder to unpick the longer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.”
Mondelēz site tours and conference presentations
During CeMAT, Swisslog will be offering exclusive guided site tours of the Mondelēz International West Melbourne distribution site — providing a first-hand look at an automated facility in action. Visitors will experience a site that 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
Two tour sessions will be available directly from the exhibition at 09:45 am on Tuesday and Wednesday. Spaces are limited so registration is essential — find out more here.
“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 its website will be updated with presentation details soon.
New this year: 4-way pallet shuttle
2026 marks the first time Swisslog will be showcasing its new 4-way pallet shuttle WonderStore in 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,” Dimitrovski said.
“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.”
