LogiMAT 2026: COT showcases RFID, M-Trust™, and ePaper for transparent intralogistics

At LogiMAT 2026 in Stuttgart, COT will present solutions for seamless data flows, secure product identities, and paperless processes. The focus will be on RFID for real-time transparency, M-Trust™ as a digital trust platform, and ePaper for day-to-day operations in logistics and manufacturing.

LogiMAT 2026 | March 24–26, 2026 | Stuttgart | Hall 2, Booth B10

Companies in logistics and manufacturing are increasingly faced with the challenge of making their processes more transparent, secure, and efficient. There is a demand for technologies that make information available exactly where it is needed in the operation—from the identification of individual products and traceability along the supply chain to the paperless provision of work-related information at the point of work.

At LogiMAT 2026, COT Computer OEM Trading GmbH will showcase solutions designed to address precisely these requirements. The focus of the exhibition will be on RFID technologies, the M-Trust™ digital trust platform, and reusable ePaper solutions for operational processes.

“Many companies face the same challenge: they need reliable data in real time, right where decisions are made. At LogiMAT, we’ll demonstrate how RFID, secure digital identities, and ePaper can work together to make processes more transparent, stable, and efficient,” says Simone Trautmann of COT Computer OEM Trading GmbH.

RFID for Inventory, Parts, and Goods Movements

In intralogistics, RFID has evolved from a pilot approach to a proven technology. Automatic identification demonstrates its strengths whenever inventory needs to be recorded quickly, with minimal errors, and without manual intermediate steps. This applies to inventory processes as well as to the labeling of parts, load carriers, or goods movements.

COT supports companies in implementing customized RFID scenarios—from individual labeling solutions to large-scale projects in which processes are gradually transitioned to real-time data.

At LogiMAT, COT will demonstrate how RFID solutions can be implemented with appropriate labeling, suitable hardware, and integration into existing system landscapes.

The goal is a robust data foundation for stable operational processes. Inventories are recorded automatically, movements remain traceable, and typical sources of error from manual entries can be reduced. Especially in processes that previously relied on lists, recounts, or manual entries, RFID can contribute to significant time savings and higher data quality.

M-Trust™: Digital Trust Infrastructure for Transparent Supply Chains

Together with Merck, COT will also present M-Trust™ at LogiMAT 2026, a digital trust platform with security labeling. The solution is aimed at industrial and logistics companies that want to digitize products and goods flows in a secure, transparent, and tamper-proof manner.

As supply chains become increasingly interconnected, the demands for traceability, authenticity, and regulatory accountability are rising. At the same time, there is a growing need for security labels that uniquely link physical products to digital information.

This is exactly where M-Trust™ comes in: The platform lays the foundation for digital twins by making physical products uniquely identifiable and linking them to reliable digital identities.

Technologically, the solution is based on modern Web 3.0 concepts and combines physical security features with digital data structures. This enables quality, inspection, and logistics processes to be digitized and secured throughout the entire supply chain—from manufacturing through transport and storage to the end customer.

Key features include tamper-proof security labels that enable seamless traceability, automated quality and inspection processes in machine-to-machine environments, and reliable verification of product authenticity. Inspection and process data can be automatically captured, verified, and made available digitally.

At the booth, visitors will gain insight into specific industrial and logistics scenarios in which the platform can be used.

COT ePaper Replaces Paper in Day-to-Day Operations

Another focus of the trade show presentation is COT ePaper. The solution addresses processes where information is frequently updated but has traditionally been provided on paper — such as picking lists, shelf and warehouse labels, internal shipping documents, or visitor badges.

Instead of printing traditional labels or lists, PDFs or IGP print data are converted into formats that can be displayed on standard ePaper or eInk displays. The displays are reusable and can be easily attached to surfaces or load carriers. This simplifies daily work because information remains visible directly at the point of use and employees have both hands free.

A key advantage of the system lies in its cross-manufacturer mixed operation: different ePaper and eInk displays can be used in parallel. Depending on the manufacturer, data is transmitted via optical wireless communication, radio in the 2.4 GHz range, or Bluetooth. A central front end bundles functions such as location and order management as well as modular system settings.

At LogiMAT, COT will demonstrate how paper-based workflows can be reduced in practice without completely overhauling existing processes. Especially in work environments with frequently changing information, ePaper can help significantly improve timeliness, handling, and resource utilization.
