ProMat 2025 is less than a week away, and the show will be bigger than ever. Organizers said they expect 1,200 manufacturers and systems providers in Chicago, with more than 200 educational sessions.
With three different exhibit halls to cover, it can be overwhelming to see everything in just four days. We’ve compiled a list of seven interesting booths with live robot demonstrations at the show. To stay up to date on the newest technologies at the show, follow the rest of our ProMat coverage.
Piaggio Fast Forward – Booth S1063
Piaggio Fast Forward is a robotics technology developer that offers kilo, a collaborative mobile robot. The Boston-based company emphasized kilo’s ability to work alongside humans.
The four-wheeled robotic flatbed has a payload of up to 300 lb. (136 kg) and a maximum speed of 3 mph (4.8 kph). Piaggio said it is designed to enhance material movement in industries such as manufacturing, facilities management, warehousing, and logistics.
Piaggio will be showcasing two new abilities for kilo. The first, PFF Forward Following, enables kilo robots to move in front of their leaders as easily as they follow behind. Users pair with kilo and walk toward or away from the robot to inform the direction of its movement.
The second is Trips. This feature allows users to record specific travel paths with their kilo robot and store them in a library for future use.
Dematic – Booths S2303, S2503
Dematic is a systems integrator that designs, builds, and supports systems for customers in manufacturing, warehousing, and distribution. At ProMat, the company will provide a virtual reality warehousing experience with live demonstrations of technologies from Eurofork, AutoStore, Transcend, and fellow KION Group brand Linde.
Atlanta-based Dematic’s systems, including its autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) and multi-shuttle robot, will also be at the show.

For the first time in public, MasterMover Inc. will demonstrate the TOW300 AGV in a live setting in partnership with BlueBotics. It will include a live demonstration of the integration of BlueBotics’ navigation technology with its heavy-duty, high-capacity AGVs.
The exhibit will highlight how easily automation can improve industrial safety, efficiency, and business success, the companies said.
As part of the wider MasterTow AGV range with a capacity up to 44,000 lb. (19,958 kg), MasterMover designed the AGV to optimize workflows in industries ranging from industrial manufacturing and distribution to automotive and commercial vehicle assembly.
The Charlotte, N.C.-based company said it can take on risky material and parts movements as well as repetitive tasks and lineside delivery.
Swisslog – Booth S3523
The Swisslog booth will offer an immersive 3D experience of its temperature-controlled portfolio. The Buchs, Switzerland-based company plans to explain how these automated storage and retrieval systems (ASRS) can help ensure freshness and quality, while reducing costs and order-fulfillment times.
Experts will be on hand to answer questions about the new AutoStore Multi-Temperature Solution, which allows different temperature zones within a single ASRS. Swisslog recently installed it in La Réserve des Saveurs’ new automated storage/preparation facility.
The booth will also feature the CycloneCarrier robotic shuttle system and Vectura stacker crane, as well as the ItemPiQ robotic picker and ACPaQ mixed case palletizer. In addition, Swisslog plans to show transport and conveyor systems, such as its AMR portfolio, for various applications in pallet transport.
Conveyco Technologies – Booth S1731
Conveyco said it will have its ASRS, AMRs, and software technologies at ProMat 2025. In addition, the company will unveil a comprehensive brand refresh at the show.
