EQS-News: KION showcases how Physical AI delivers measurable customer value at NVIDIA GTC Berlin 2026.

EQS-News: KION showcases how Physical AI delivers measurable customer value at NVIDIA GTC Berlin 2026. EQS-News: KION GROUP AG / Key word(s): Miscellaneous KION showcases how Physical AI delivers measurable customer value at NVIDIA GTC Berlin 2026 (news with additional features) 21.10.2026 / 13:41 CET/CEST The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement. KION showcases how Physical AI delivers measurable customer value at NVIDIA GTC Berlin 2026 * KION has successfully integrated Physical AI into regular operations and is driving forward its cooperation with partner GXO in Épinoy, France * Using AI-powered digital twins and highly realistic simulation environments, KION reduces the commissioning time for autonomous vehicles from weeks to just a few days * New Physical AI applications improve the performance, safety, and scalability of autonomous warehouse operations * Together with technology partners such as NVIDIA and Accenture, KION is further expanding its Physical AI ecosystem and laying the foundation for the scaled deployment of autonomous solutions for a growing number of customers worldwide Frankfurt am Main, October 21, 2026 - KION is demonstrating how Physical AI is moving beyond concept and delivering measurable business value in real-world supply chain operations. At NVIDIA GTC Berlin 2026, KION showcases how advanced AI, digital twins, autonomous vehicles, and a growing ecosystem of technology partners are helping customers accelerate deployment, improve safety and increase performance. From simulation to live operations A key milestone is the successful integration of a fleet of autonomous vehicles in daily operations at GXO's facility in Épinoy, France. After an initial pilot in early 2026, the site now demonstrates how Physical AI can be applied in complex logistics environments, allowing multiple autonomous vehicles to operate efficiently alongside warehouse personnel and other equipment. This approach has reduced the time required for on-site deployment by over 60 percent. "Physical AI is a strategic enabler for orchestrating end-to-end solutions across the entire supply chain - from simulation and validation to real-world operations. By combining KION's industry and automation expertise with NVIDIA's technologies, we drive design, deployment and scaling of our solutions forward. This enables our customers to accelerate rollouts, increase predictability, and strengthen operational resilience while minimizing disruption to ongoing operations", said Rob Smith, CEO of KION. Accelerating time to value through digital twins KION leverages Physical AI to design, validate, and deploy automation in simulated and real warehouse environments by combining AI-based decision making with industrial trucks and warehouse robots. This approach enables safer, faster, and more reliable intralogistics operations while creating tangible operational benefits for customers. A central element of KION's Physical AI strategy is the use of AI-powered digital twins. Built using advanced simulation technologies enriched with spatial intelligence generated on the customer's site, these digital representations enable autonomous vehicles and software systems to be trained, tested, and optimized before physical deployment. By moving critical testing and validation steps into simulation, KION can reduce commissioning from weeks to just a few days, accelerating operational readiness and time to value. Safety is integral to this approach. KION is working with NVIDIA on a concept that uses AI not only to improve productivity, but also to support the safe operation of autonomous solutions alongside warehouse personnel. The NVIDIA Halos blueprint provides an important foundation for this AI-based safety concept, which KION is integrating into its solutions. Expanding a growing ecosystem To accelerate and scale its efforts - with hardware, software and computing power - KION collaborates with technology leaders and ecosystem partners. Together with NVIDIA, Accenture and other partners, the company is bringing together world-class expertise in simulation, computing, spatial intelligence, perception, and autonomous operations to accelerate innovation for customers. Two years ago, KION started collaborating with Accenture to optimize supply chains and build the warehouse of the future using NVIDIA's advanced AI and simulation technologies. Since then, the collaboration has evolved significantly. Most recently, Accenture supported KION in building a digital twin and simulation capabilities on NVIDIA Omniverse and MEGA technologies for the lighthouse project in GXO's logistics facility in Épinoy. This enabled KION to virtually test, optimize and commission warehouse operations and autonomous systems before deployment. This broad technology ecosystem approach supports the development of interoperable solutions that can be deployed faster and scaled more efficiently across global supply chains. Physical AI delivers proven value across customer operations At a ROSSMANN regional warehouse, KION successfully delivered the Robotic Case Picker (RoCaP) in October 2026, an autonomous industrial truck that uses AI-powered camera scanning and an advanced gripper arm to identify, pick, and securely stack individual packages - even in complex brownfield environments and when packaging is damaged. After the pilot exceeded expectations for speed and gripping performance, the customer ordered additional vehicles - proving that Physical AI can automate labor-intensive order picking, reduce errors, and relieve employees from physically demanding tasks. About Physical AI at KION Physical AI enables machines to sense, understand, and independently act in the real world. By giving industrial trucks and warehouse solutions a human-like understanding of their environment, KION bridges the gap between digital systems and physical operations. The company simulates and perfects solutions in a virtual environment before they reach the warehouse floor, making operations safer, faster, and more reliable. Partnering with global technology leaders, KION uses Physical AI to help customers tackle real-world challenges like labor shortages and trade volatility, ensuring more resilient and efficient operations globally. The Company KION is shaping world trade - globally, regionally, locally - empowering its customers to unlock the full potential of their supply chains: efficient, smart, and reliable with real-time traceability and high delivery speed. The company's full spectrum of services includes industrial trucks, integrated automation technologies, AI-based solutions, and software as well as all related services.

KION Group launches "Digital-Twin" Predictive maintenance for r70-series AGV forklifts.

KION Group launches "Digital-Twin" Predictive maintenance for r70-series AGV forklifts. Aug 20, 2026. The KION Group (Still brand) has introduced a "Digital-Twin" predictive maintenance platform for its R70-series Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) forklifts. In fully automated deep-freeze warehouses (-25°C), a sudden component failure of an AGV can halt the entire logistics chain, requiring manual intervention in freezing conditions. The Digital-Twin system creates a virtual replica of each AGV in the cloud. The engineering core is the "Motor Current Signature Analysis" (MCSA). The system monitors the high-frequency AC current waveform of the traction motor. By analyzing the frequency harmonics, the system can detect early signs of bearing wear inside the motor before any mechanical noise occurs. When specific harmonic frequencies spike, the digital twin flags the motor for replacement during the next scheduled downtime. Furthermore, the system features a "Battery Thermal Degradation Model." The virtual model simulates the internal cell temperature and state of charge during every driving and lifting cycle. If the model predicts that the battery temperature will exceed safe operating limits within the next 15 minutes (due to high-duty cycle and freezing ambient air), it automatically routes the AGV to a charging station to cool down, preventing irreversible lithium plating. This predictive capability reduces AGV unplanned downtime by 50% and extends battery life by 18%. No Information
