Automation is the overriding theme in this week's news, and not just because it's the focus of our second LogiMAT 2024 report from Stuttgart.

Many exhibitors at the trade fair noted how fast automation was being taken up globally, with companies seeking solutions to the ongoing shortage of labour and industrial real estate.
