More than 600 managers from Switzerland gathered at the large innovation conference organized by SFS unimarket. Held in DAS ZELT in Zurich, the conference was a perfect platform for showcasing the latest developments in automated inventory management systems.

The Distribution & Logistics segment under the SFS unimarket brand unveiled the results of its R&D efforts over the past several years with the presentation of "M2M by SFS". The acronym M2M stands for "machine to machine" and refers to the automated exchange of information between machines or devices - in this case between a warehouse, handheld mobile devices, and ERP systems.

More than the next generation

SFS unimarket's current M2M range of products consists not only of the upgraded, internationally acclaimed turnLOG®® receptacle solution and the alternative pushLOG® and weightLOG® systems - SFS unimarket also introduced three entirely new solutions: reachLOG®®, dropLOG®® and toolLOG®®. What they all have in common is a host of new features such as smartphone, tablet and smartwatch connectivity as well as delivery status updates, which are possible thanks to bidirectional communications. The new logistics solutions also offer state-of-the-art sensor technology and wireless communications functions and even allow the integration of third party suppliers.

High-profile executives from the manufacturing sector voiced their thoughts about the current challenges in today's economy in a podium discussion and inspiring speaches.
