Exhibitors

Follow the journey. See it in action. Experience total item‑level traceability.

At this year’s Retail Technology Show, SATO will showcase a fully connected product journey — from manufacturing lines and logistics hubs to e‑commerce centres and retail stores. Every step demonstrates how item‑level identification and real‑time traceability unlock smarter, more sustainable retail operations.

Visitors will be able to physically follow one product (including our free T‑shirt giveaway!) as it passes through each zone of the stand, tagged, tracked, and transformed along the way.

Manufacturing: Where Every Product Begins

Digital Product Passport (DPP)
Each item begins its life in manufacturing with a unique digital identity — a Digital Product Passport linked to its components, materials, and origin.
This foundation of item‑level identification supports traceability, regulatory compliance, and circularity from day one.

Logistics: Real‑Time Visibility from Factory to Store

In the logistics zone, we’ll demonstrate how SATO technology tracks products as they move through the supply chain, ensuring accuracy, efficiency, and transparency at every stage.

See live demos of:

• Real‑time product tracking from factory → warehouse → store
• Smart packing and picking powered by AEP Cloud
• Label printers designed for fast, accurate, high‑volume workflows

E‑commerce: Smarter, Faster Digital Fulfilment

With the growth of online retail, efficient digital warehousing and fulfilment are more important than ever.

We’ll showcase:

• An optimised smart packing bench, complete with SATO printers
• Sustainable linerless printing to reduce waste
• Faster, more accurate order processing through item‑level traceability

This is the same journey your T‑shirt will take before arriving in the “store” area.

Retail Store: Empowering Teams on the Shop Floor

In the retail zone, you’ll see how SATO solutions help store teams work smarter with fast, flexible, mobile technology.

Demonstrations include:

• Mobile printing for rapid price markdowns
• Quick stock adjustments and replenishment
• High‑speed stocktakes
• Full traceability using the item’s Digital Product Passport

This is also where you’ll receive your T‑shirt — fully tracked from start to finish.
