At LogiMAT 2025, one thing became crystal clear to: logistics operations are under more pressure than ever. Rising energy costs, unexpected breakdowns, and the push for sustainability mean businesses simply can’t afford inefficiencies. Florian Kley shares with you three key Conveying related lessons taken away from this year’s event.
Conveyor systems must work smarter, last longer, and be easier to manage.
1. High energy costs are straining budgets – but there’s a smarter way
With energy prices constantly fluctuating, every kilowatt really does count.
Many of the professionals I spoke with are under immense pressure to cut costs while still ensuring their operations perform at the highest level. This is where Ammeraal Beltech’s AMMdurance rPET belts come into play.
Their dry fabric treatment reduces friction, lowers power consumption in long-term by 17% in average, and extends their lifespan. This means real energy savings without compromising performance. Compared to standard synthetic belts, our PET fabric solutions also reduce CO2 emissions by 1.2 kg and decrease greenhouse gas release by 70%. It’s a smarter, more efficient way to operate.
2. Downtime is a constant headache for business
I’ve heard this time and again: every minute of downtime is lost revenue.
When unexpected breakdowns occur, especially during peak seasons, it’s a nightmare. Many visitors shared their frustrations about belts wearing out too quickly or breaking at the worst possible moments. This is exactly why we focused on ZipLink® belts.
Designed for ultimate flexibility, ZipLink® belts allow splicing at any length with just a single pin. The unique mesh structure not only simplifies splicing without special tools but also ensures quick maintenance and minimal downtime—critical for keeping operations running smoothly during those high-pressure peak seasons.
3. Managing conveyor belts shouldn’t be a hassle
One consistent issue I heard during my discussions with logistics experts is that finding technical data, certifications, or maintenance records shouldn’t slow down operations—but it often does. That’s why I was excited to see how well Ammeraal Beltech’s AMMcare Connect resonated with so many visitors.
With a simple QR code scan, everything operators need is right at their fingertips. This makes belt management effortless, helping to minimise downtime and make operations more efficient.
Stay ahead of competition!
The logistics industry is evolving rapidly, and the challenges are undeniable. But with the right conveyor solution, combining efficiency, durability, and digitalisation is within reach.
