What does the guiding principle “Flow. In every detail.” mean in concrete terms?

The guiding principle “Flow. In every detail.” expresses LTW Intralogistics’ ambition to perfect efficiency and quality in material flow down to the smallest detail. This principle is deliberately aligned with the official trade fair motto of LogiMAT 2026, which, under the title “Passion for Details,” highlights the importance of well-thought-out, often inconspicuous features of products and systems. At the trade fair, LTW will demonstrate how the interplay of mechanical precision, intelligent software, durable construction, and comprehensive service makes the crucial difference between average and outstanding material flow solutions. The message is clear: Sustainable success in intralogistics is not achieved through quick compromises, but through the consistent perfection of every single system element.

What makes LTW Intralogistics special as a full-service provider?

LTW Intralogistics, as a full-service provider, unites engineering, software development, production, and service under one roof. This vertical integration is by no means a given in the industry, because while many logistics providers operate as specialized suppliers, LTW pursues a comprehensive approach in which all necessary functions for creating complex material flow landscapes are closely interlinked. The company increasingly focuses on multimodal material flow solutions that intelligently combine different transport routes and systems. This approach results in solutions that are not only technically functional but also economically viable and maintainable in the long term.

In which industries does LTW operate and what experience does the company bring to the table?

LTW boasts decades of experience across a wide range of industries. Its expertise spans general manufacturing, frozen food and food processing, pharmaceuticals, automotive, and heavy-duty applications. As early as 1991, the company implemented its first deep-freeze warehouse for a food producer in Tyrol, a project that presented a significant technical challenge at the time. This broad industry competence enables LTW to develop solutions precisely tailored to specific requirements. LTW's systems handle everything from machinery and pallets to containers and even boats, always focusing on the process rather than the product being stored. The combination of system integration, industry knowledge, and a consistent commitment to quality forms the foundation for reliable, efficient, and durable systems "Made in Austria," from traditional high-bay warehouses to state-of-the-art terminal storage solutions.

What is the LIOS software family and what advantages does it offer?

The modular software family LIOS, short for LTW Intralogistics Operating System, forms the digital core of LTW's intralogistics solutions. Its core elements include the LTW LIOS Warehouse Management System (WMS), the LTW LIOS Material Flow System (MFS), and the LTW LIOS Cockpit. The WMS controls and coordinates both manual and automated logistics processes across all warehouse areas and is highly adaptable to individual customer business requirements. The Material Flow System choreographs the machines and ensures optimal material flows. The LIOS Cockpit, in turn, provides a complete overview of all system components via a graphical user interface, and its intuitive operation requires no extensive employee training. The system is complemented by the LIOS Mobile Operator, which enables convenient manual machine control via tablet, for example, during a system shutdown. LIOS impressively demonstrates how intelligent control, visualization, and reporting increase warehouse efficiency and make processes transparent.

What role do service and retrofit play at LTW?

LTW supports its customers throughout the entire lifecycle of their systems and considers digitalization to be truly effective only when combined with a robust service concept. LTW's Customer Care Center offers 24/7 support, whether on-site, by phone, or online. The range of services includes maintenance, spare parts supply, training, and troubleshooting. The digital service platform LTWcare provides an innovative solution for even more efficient system support, featuring TÜV-certified remote connections, an innovative ticketing system, and proactive maintenance solutions. In the area of ​​retrofitting, LTW modernizes existing systems to bring them up to the latest technological standards and sustainably extend their lifespan. This is particularly relevant because intralogistics systems consist of a multitude of components that age at different rates. While steel structures can last for decades, electronic components have significantly shorter lifecycles. Retrofitting addresses this issue by adapting existing systems to current safety standards and technological advancements, often even during ongoing operations. The focus is on stable system availability, predictable investments, and ensuring the supply of spare parts and support for the coming years.

LTW offers its customers not individual components, but integrated complete solutions. Consulting, planning, mechanical and electrotechnical components, control and automation technology, as well as software and service – everything is networked and precisely coordinated.

In-house production of key components is particularly advantageous. This allows for optimal control of quality, supply chains, and interfaces.

LTW stands for reliability, transparency, and collaborative partnership. Loyalty and honesty are firmly anchored in the company's philosophy – a handshake still means something here.

What is the CAPDRIVE storage and retrieval machine and how does it reduce energy consumption?

The CAPDRIVE storage and retrieval machine is the most powerful version of LTW's SMART POWER TECHNOLOGY and sets new standards in energy efficiency within intralogistics. It utilizes state-of-the-art supercapacitor technology to store energy generated during braking and lowering, and feed it back into the travel or lifting process as needed. Instead of being wasted as heat, the braking energy is temporarily stored and made available again. This allows for energy savings of up to 35 percent. The system has already been successfully deployed in LTW's own high-bay warehouse in Wolfurt, Vorarlberg. Real-world comparative data shows impressive results: The use of CAPDRIVE reduces energy costs by 65 percent and grid feed-in by around 80 percent. Even without energy storage, LTW storage and retrieval machines already contribute to resource conservation, as their intelligent control technology reduces energy consumption by up to 15 percent in standard operation. Since 2022, 15 percent of all LTW storage and retrieval machines have been sold with a supercap energy storage system, underlining the steadily growing demand for green technology.

How does LTW integrate the topic of sustainability into its systems?

Sustainability is not an isolated add-on at LTW, but an integral part of system development. The company pursues an approach of considering energy-efficient technologies and durable overall systems right from the development phase. SMART POWER TECHNOLOGY with the CAPDRIVE storage and retrieval machine is a concrete example of this, as it significantly reduces energy consumption over the entire operating cycle. At the same time, the longevity of the systems plays a central role: Robust, rigid constructions combined with weight optimization save energy with every pallet movement. Manufacturing quality is based on the Doppelmayr Group's cable car standard, ensuring maximum precision and durability. In combination with retrofit programs that modernize existing systems rather than replacing them, a holistic sustainability concept is created that extends over the entire system lifecycle. Cost savings of up to 50 percent compared to new builds and amortization periods of less than three years make modernization projects even more economically attractive.

What are multimodal material flow solutions and why are they relevant?

Multimodal material flow solutions refer to systems that intelligently link different transport routes and systems. In modern intralogistics environments, various conveying and storage technologies must work seamlessly together to ensure an efficient flow of goods. LTW is increasingly focusing on this approach because customer requirements are becoming ever more complex, and isolated individual solutions often fail to achieve the desired overall efficiency. By integrating stacker cranes, conveyor technology, automated picking systems, and software control into a holistic system, material flow landscapes are created that are significantly more efficient than the sum of their individual parts. LTW benefits from its role as a full-service provider, as all system components come from a single source and can be perfectly coordinated without interface problems between different manufacturers.

What is behind the Doppelmayr Group and what significance does it have for LTW?

LTW Intralogistics is a wholly owned subsidiary of Doppelmayr Holding SE, which is also headquartered in Wolfurt, Vorarlberg, Austria. The Doppelmayr Group is the world market leader in ropeway construction and was founded in 1893. With a turnover of €1.057 billion in the 2023/24 financial year and approximately 3,517 employees, the Group is an internationally operating company with locations in Switzerland, the USA, Italy, and Canada, among others. Being part of the Doppelmayr Group offers LTW significant advantages: Everything required for its own products is manufactured within the Group, guaranteeing unparalleled manufacturing quality that meets ropeway standards. The robust design of the storage and retrieval machines, combined with optimized weight, is a direct result of this transfer of expertise. Furthermore, integration into the Group provides LTW with financial stability and the backing of an established family business with a history spanning over 130 years.

How has LTW Intralogistics developed over the years?

LTW was founded on August 14, 1981, by Peter Malin under the name "Lagertechnik Gesellschaft mbH" (Warehouse Technology Company Ltd.), with the aim of improving the production capacity utilization of the Doppelmayr Group. The company initially specialized in storage and retrieval machines and achieved a technological breakthrough in 1984 with a patented switch technology, which remained its number one product for many years. The first automated systems followed in 1986, the first warehouse control computer in 1990, and the first deep-freeze warehouse in 1991. Over time, LTW evolved from a supplier of storage and retrieval machines to a full-service provider for intralogistics. Another important milestone was the acquisition and merger with a software company in Vienna in 2017, which allowed LTW to establish itself as a full-service provider of turnkey solutions beyond Europe. Today, the company employs more than 170 people and implements projects in over 35 countries, with approximately 70 percent of its revenue generated in the DACH region (Germany, Austria, and Switzerland). LTW has successfully implemented more than 1,000 projects worldwide.
