Intralogistic Systems
The Intralogistic Systems Product Group (ISPG) addresses both single materials handling products and complete turnkey systems. It focuses on automation, controls (OT) and software (IT), and integration of several types of materials handling equipment into one integrated system. It is open to system integrators and suppliers of complete systems (companies signing turnkey contracts) as well as suppliers of components and sub-systems thereof. The Product Group covers different types of systems:
- Automated order fulfillment, transportation, sortation and shipping systems, enabling fast and reliable handling of products, parcels and orders in sortation and distribution centres, in order to handle incoming and outgoing flows to and from different locations.
- Complex baggage handling systems enabling baggage to be transported automatically to the collecting point of the relevant plane and back to the passenger baggage collection point.
- Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV), enabling productivity improvements by optimising the flows of manufacturing and logistic processes through autonomous reliable systems.
- Automated storage and retrieval systems supporting the order fulfilment processes and enabling optimised management of the storage.
The Product Group consists of manufacturers from Austria, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom.

FEM ISPG guideline for Digitalisation and Cyber Security
The ISPG has published a FEM guideline providing a framework for establishing appropriate data-sharing agreements between asset owners, operators, manufacturers, system integrators and service providers.
The guideline addresses key aspects of data-sharing and helps define the roles, rights and responsibilities of the parties involved, ensuring that the interests of all stakeholders are appropriately considered.
