After last year’s inaugural edition, CeiliX returns to LogiMAT 2026, showcasing the next stage of the company’s development of aerial automation products. The focus is on transitioning a single “SkyBot” to a fleet. For the first time, two SkyBots will operate simultaneously in a coordinated configuration at LogiMAT, demonstrating how automation can be extended from individual workstations to larger production and warehouse areas.
At the booth, live demonstrations of the SkyRunner and SkyBots will be presented in two configurations: one with a robotic arm and one with a scissor gripper. Two SkyBots work in coordination, making the interaction of multiple aerial systems visible.
Platform logic for different tasks
CeiliX follows a clear platform logic. The SkyRunner is the aerial vehicle and forms the basis for a low-threshold entry into automation. Depending on the application, the appropriate tool is mounted there. For additional applications, the SkyRunner can also be equipped with other tools, such as a hoist. The key point is that the basis remains the same, while the function is defined by the automation task at hand. This allows automation to be expanded step by step, from individual tasks to covering multiple stations within an operation.
Overhead Automation
What CeiliX announced as the next stage of development during LogiMAT 2025, can now be tested in operation this year. The multi-patented CeiliX technology allows the parallel operation of several systems. The foundation is a ceiling-mounted modular rail system on which aerial vehicles (SkyRunner) travel, providing the basis for scalable automation.
The rail system can be installed quickly, flexibly adapted to any space thanks to a modular approach and easily expanded as needs increase. This flexibility is exactly what allows many businesses to take their first steps into automation. This also applies to production environments with columns, machines and organic growing arrangements, where floor-based solutions often reach their limits.
Pragmatic entry into automation
CeiliX demonstrates how the challenges that shape daily work in logistics and production can be addressed through overhead automation. Above all, it is about relieving employees when loads become too heavy, structural pressure due to lack of skilled labor and unnecessarily complex manual process steps. The focus is no longer on a single application, but on an approach that can be expanded in a modular way. For users, this means that processes can be automated without taking up additional floor space or rebuilding existing layouts.
Mathias Entenmann, CEO and co-founder of CeiliX, says: “Since we celebrated our world premiere here at LogiMAT a year ago, our customers always tell us the same thing: getting started with automation with our technology is that easy. They are particularly convinced by the flexible modular system that can grow with their needs.”
