Logis-Tech Tokyo 2026 (8–11 September at Tokyo Big Sight) is the main live industry event in this window. Daifuku is exhibiting under the theme “Robotics in Motion,” showing the new Shuttle Rack LX four-way pallet shuttle, Fine Shuttle rack-integrated case AS/RS, SOTR forklift AMR and pallet/piece sorting transfer robots, plus an XY piece-picking robot. The lineup covers pallet high-density storage, case mini-load, autonomous forklift transport and piece sortation in one booth, which is how large Japanese integrators now sell “one vendor, full flow” rather than a single machine type.
ZS Robotics used the same show for the world debut of a 5.5-meter building-height solution: three-level pallet storage plus a single-position lift and the ultra-low 125 mm ZS-H125 four-way shuttle, aimed at Japan’s many low-clearance warehouses that cannot take conventional 20–30 m high-bay AS/RS. Geekplus is showing the Gino humanoid in Japan for the first time alongside SkyCube four-way shuttle, PopPick Lite GTP and RoboShuttle Air high-bay ACR/AMR combinations. Multiway Robotics is demonstrating omnidirectional pallet AMRs, side-loader AMRs and trailer-yard counterbalance AMRs for mixed-pallet loading.
Sharp is demoing slim stacker GTP robots handing totes to third-party AMRs, a multi-vendor fleet-control theme. The show, still running on 11 September, is the densest public display this week of four-way shuttles, ACR/GTP, unmanned forklifts and WCS software aimed at both brownfield Japanese sheds and export projects.
