Autonomous intralogistics webinar: wheel.me and Virtual Manufacturing in real manufacturing environments

February 2, 2026

As part of the ongoing collaboration between wheel.me and Virtual Manufacturing UK, Virtual Manufacturing, with the support of wheel.me, hosted a joint webinar titled “Autonomous Intralogistics Explained: Challenges, Technology and Experience” on 29 January 2026.

The webinar focused on how autonomous intralogistics can help manufacturing companies reduce manual work, remove delays in internal transport, and create smoother production flows without the need for major infrastructure changes or facility redesign.

During the session, industry experts shared practical insights into common intralogistics challenges in manufacturing and demonstrated how autonomous mobility solutions can be introduced step by step.

Speakers included

  • Daniel Wigren, Virtual Manufacturing Sweden AB - common intralogistics challenges in manufacturing and where automation creates real value
  • Daniel Hjørnevik, wheel.me - an overview of autonomous wheel technology, how it works, and what differentiates it from traditional automation
  • Henrik Nyby, Virtual Manufacturing UK - a real deployment example from the Digital Process Manufacturing Centre (DPMC) in Scotland
  • Allala Thabouti, Leoni - a real-world journey from manual internal transport to autonomous intralogistics

    • Key takeaways from the webinar

    - How to identify hidden time-thieves in internal transport

    - Practical guidance on getting started with autonomous intralogistics

    - Real-world examples of improved efficiency, safety, and operator wellbeing

    The webinar supports the shared ambition of wheel.me and Virtual Manufacturing UK to make manufacturing automation more accessible, focusing on flexible solutions that work with existing equipment and layouts.
