From advanced product launches and AI integration to infrastructure upgrades and strategic partnerships, materials handling automation continues to dominate the news at Forkliftaction.

As highlighted in our latest automation roundup, recent months have seen a surge in new solutions—from the launch of Swisslog’s IntraMove series of autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), designed for “flexibility in volatile environments,” to Linde Material Handling’s newest automated forklift models: the Linde K MATIC K very narrow aisle turret truck, Linde R-MATIC K reach truck, and Linde L MATIC AC K counterbalanced pallet stacker.

For those seeking to eliminate downtime associated with automated fleet charging, Forkliftaction recently published an in-depth feature on the fast-evolving landscape of wireless battery charging (and its alternatives), exploring its potential to unlock 24/7 operations.

To deepen our understanding of this emerging technology, Forkliftaction journalist Matthew McDonald speaks with Capow, Delta Electronics, RoyPow, Infineon Technologies, Concentric, and ENRX about how wireless charging works, implementation strategies and infrastructure requirements, recent product innovations, and their impact on industrial workflows.

The roundup also covers key OEM developments, including Hangcha Group’s launch of Hangcha America Smart Logistics (HASL)—a new US subsidiary offering new energy forklifts, integrated smart logistics solutions, AMRs, and automated storage systems to North American customers.
