Eagle-eyed professionals in this industry sector will have noticed the increasing use of the phrase ‘intralogistics’ in place of ‘materials handling’ or simply ‘logistics’. Just as logistics managers up and down the UK were sighing with relief that – thanks mainly to the TV advertising efforts of a certain express shipment firm – they no longer had to explain what they did for a living at dinner parties, the industry lingo has become more complicated again!
