Toyota Automated Logistics Group

What Toyota Automated Logistics Group does

Toyota Automated Logistics Group (TALG) is the logistics automation arm of Toyota Industries Corporation (TICO), operating as a global partner for integrated logistic process automation. The group is structured around three operating brands: Toyota L&F (forklifts and warehouse equipment for Japan and Southeast Asia), Toyota Automated Logistics (TAL — the integrated warehouse automation hub formed by uniting Bastian Solutions, Vanderlande's Warehousing business, and viastore), and Vanderlande Airports & Parcel (baggage handling and parcel automation). TALG serves distribution centers, fulfillment centers, manufacturing facilities, and airport operators, with named proprietary solutions including STOREPICK (automated case picking), FASTPICK (goods-to-person), viadat (warehouse management system), and Quickstore Microshuttle (e-commerce warehousing).

The group's technology stack is built around integrated process automation rather than discrete products: ASRS, conveyor systems, GtP picking, end-to-end case picking, WMS, and high-volume baggage handling systems are combined into customer-specific solutions. Underlying capabilities emphasize integration and interoperability across hardware, intelligent software (viadat WMS), and lifecycle services. Headcount of approximately 13,124 is concentrated in Vanderlande (10,995), with Bastian Solutions (1,513) covering the Americas and viastore (616) covering small-to-medium-scale European deployments. The group is undergoing a planned April 2026 reorganization to unify its warehouse automation businesses in Europe (merging Vanderlande and viastore) and the United States (integrating Bastian and Vanderlande's US warehouse automation) under a single Toyota Automated Logistics regional brand.

TALG makes money through three core revenue streams: hardware sales of warehouse and baggage handling systems (the largest component), one-time software licensing for warehouse management and logistics software (viadat and related platforms), and recurring lifecycle services (maintenance, support, and optimization of installed systems). Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is custom-quoted per project. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales, with regional subsidiaries providing direct local sales, implementation, and support across Japan/SE Asia, EMEA, and the Americas; the relationship with Toyota Material Handling Group extends distribution for forklift and warehouse equipment. Customer base disclosed in case studies spans food retail (Netto), haberdashery wholesale (De Bondt), e-commerce (Digitec Galaxus), and manufacturing (WSS), with airport and parcel customers served through Vanderlande.
