Is Polish logistics ready for a new era of automation, regulation, and cost pressure? On September 16, the “Logistic and Warehouse Trends 2025” conference will take place in Łódź, featuring representatives from Rossmann, DOZ, Reesink Logistic Solutions, Packsize, DCLOG, Wanzl, TENTE, Turck, and many other companies.
This is where supply chain and intralogistics leaders will demonstrate the journey from concept and design to full investment implementation. For the industry, this meeting is of key importance, as decisions made today will determine whether companies can remain competitive in a world where automation and data are becoming the foundation. As part of our series – “Knowledge for CTOs” – we recommend important and interesting conferences.
Automation as an Answer to Problems
One of the main topics will be warehouse automation – not as a trendy slogan, but as a real response to growing operational challenges. Rossmann will reveal the behind-the-scenes preparations for investing in a modern, fully automated warehouse in Pyskowice. This case study teaches that success begins not with technology, but with an engineering approach to planning and cooperation with suppliers.
Equally inspiring will be the perspective of DOZ, which has automated pharmaceutical logistics – a sector with particularly rigorous requirements. Here, automation is not a choice but a necessity. It allows the company to handle seasonality, order variability, and regulatory pressure, while simultaneously caring for patients for whom delivery reliability is critical.
Technologies Changing Logistics
There will be no shortage of discussions on the role of artificial intelligence, robotics, and machine vision. These are no longer experiments, but technologies that realistically improve process flow and eliminate errors. Experts from DCLOG will show how YMS or product dimensioning systems allow for managing ramp traffic and optimizing picking. Meanwhile, Reesink Logistic Solutions will discuss how modern systems support the development of e-commerce and production, and Packsize will explain how to adapt to the upcoming EU PPWR regulation on packaging while generating savings in transport and materials.
This is also a space for less spectacular but equally important innovations. Wanzl and TENTE will prove that optimizing picking processes or operator ergonomics does not require a revolution – a well-designed change is enough to significantly increase efficiency. In turn, Turck will show how RFID eliminates the need for dozens of manual tasks, fitting into a broader digital transformation strategy.
Data and Continuity – The Foundation of the Future
Two less obvious topics will also be in the spotlight: data quality and the costs of operational discontinuity. Krzysztof Urban from Translog Systems will point out that data is not an add-on, but the foundation of the entire logistics cycle. Without reliable information, it is impossible to design scalable and flexible systems. Meanwhile, Sebastian Chrzanowski-Sawicki from Troax Safety Systems Poland will show how costly the loss of process continuity can be – and why preventive measures are cheaper and more effective than putting out fires.
The Logistics Real Estate Market – A Strategic Piece of the Puzzle
The meeting in Łódź is not just about technology. An important part will be a panel discussion on the logistics real estate market. This is a topic often pushed to the sidelines, yet the choice of appropriate warehouse space determines a company’s flexibility and future development. Experts will show how the market in Poland is changing, what the real negotiating powers of tenants and owners are, and how strategic cooperation with an advisor allows for optimizing total leasing costs.
Why You Can’t Miss It?
The entire event in Łódź is more than a conference – it is a roadmap for the industry in times of breakthrough. Participants will not only hear about trends but, above all, see what real implementations look like in companies that serve millions of customers every day.
If you are struggling with costs, labor shortages, regulatory uncertainty, or the need for rapid automation – this meeting is for you. It is an opportunity to learn about practical solutions and turn market challenges into a competitive advantage.
