How do you scale output, reduce labour dependency, improve traceability and maintain operational uptime, without adding unnecessary complexity and cost?
The UK warehousing sector is evolving at an unprecedented pace.
Online retailers have increased warehouse space in the UK by 813% over the last decade, while the UK warehouse network now covers the equivalent of 11,000 football pitches. At the same time, warehouse space within the ‘Golden Triangle’ has grown by 104% as demand for faster fulfilment and larger logistics operations continues to rise.
For operations teams, warehouse managers, 3PL/4PL providers, and fulfilment centres, the pressure is clear.
That’s exactly what i-mark will be showing live at Warehouse & Yard 2026. Warehouse automation is no longer optional.

- Increase throughput
- Reduce labour dependency
- Improve shipping accuracy
- Maintain service levels
- Control rising costs
That’s exactly what i-mark will be showing live at Warehouse & Yard 2026. Warehouse automation is no longer optional.
At this year’s show, we’re demonstrating how modular end-of-line automation can help warehouses, logistics operations and manufacturing facilities reduce operational costs whilst improving efficiency across dispatch, palletising, labelling, and fulfilment.
Along with our interactive ROI calculator that will calculate your cost savings based on your operation!

See Our Modular Warehouse Automation System Live
Visitors to Stand B2 will be able to see an industry first fully integrated warehouse automation system designed specifically for modern end-of-line operations.
Our live demonstrations will include:
The real value isn’t the individual equipment. It’s how that equipment works together to create faster, more reliable, and a more scalable end-of-line operation that reduces labour dependency by £80,000 per year, per line.
- Modular integrated warehouse automation workflows for dispatch and fulfilment
- Live ROI calculations based on your operation

Why Flexible Automation matters
Many operations hesitate to automate because they fear disruption to existing production or fulfilment lines and the large costs associated.
That’s why modular automation is becoming increasingly important. i-mark’s systems are designed to integrate into your existing operations and lines with almost zero interruption, allowing business to scale automation gradually while maintaining operational continuity.
For growing logistics businesses, this creates several major advantages:
As labour costs continue to rise and warehouse throughput expectations increase, flexibility in your processes is becoming just as important as the automation itself.

For growing logistics businesses, this creates several major advantages:
- Minimal downtime during implementation and in your ongoing operations
- Scalable automation expansion
- Immediate cost savings and lower long-term operational costs
- Improved flexibility across multiple lines
As labour costs continue to rise and warehouse throughput expectations increase, flexibility in your processes is becoming just as important as the automation itself.
Where Warehouses are losing money without realising it
Skilled Labour shortages continue to dominate discussion across warehousing and logistics, but labour isn’t the only operational cost increasing pressure on margins.
The industry’s first modular End-of-Line automation system help businesses reduce labour dependency by up to £80,000 per year, per line through intelligent automation and process optimisation. However, many operations are also losing substantial amounts through inefficiencies they don’t immediately see.
One customer approached us after experiencing ongoing shipment disruptions caused by unreadable barcodes generated by outdated print technology. The issue was creating rejected shipments, unnecessary rework, operational delays, and increasing pressure across dispatch operations.The estimated cost to the business reached approximately £365,000 per year!, roughly £1,000 per day.
In high-volume warehouse environments, small inefficiencies quickly become major operational losses.
That’s why automation is no longer simply about increasing your efficiency and speed. It’s about improving your operation’s reliability, protecting throughput, maintaining traceability, and reducing operational waste.

Real-time ROI calculator Based on your Operation
At Warehouse & Yard 2026, we’ll also have a interactive ROI calculator directly on the stand.
Rather than presenting generic automation savings, we’ll be showing you how potential savings can be calculated in real-time based on their own operation, including labour requirements, shift structures, throughput volumes, rework reduction opportunities, and dispatch efficiency improvements.

This allows warehouse and operations teams to gain a clearer understanding of where warehouse automation can deliver measurable commercial impact within their own environment.
We’ll also be discussing how energy-efficient automation infrastructure can help businesses reduce operating costs while supporting long-term scalability.
