New award
Product of the year: materialfluss is looking for the best
The logistics and intralogistics industry is full of innovations, and it's time to showcase them: The readers of materialfluss will vote for the materialfluss PRODUCT OF THE YEAR 2020 for the first time in fall and winter.
But before the voting portal opens at www.materialfluss.de, the application phase starts first. Until November 4, companies and readers can present products and projects in 14 categories. Modesty is a virtue, but not necessarily a good thing here - you are allowed to suggest your own products and topics and this will not result in any points being deducted. In any case, we are looking for products and projects that you think are either technically unique, that the market success in 2019 speaks for an award or that the industry is particularly influenced by the product. Projects can also be recognized in the logistics categories.
From December 13, the excitement will increase: with the publication of the special issue materialfluss WELT DER INTRALOGISTIK, the editorial team will present the nominees in the 14 categories and the voting portal at http://www.materialfluss.de will be open. In the first two issues of materialfluss, 1-2/20 and 3/20, the secret will finally be revealed and the winners in the respective categories will be announced. May the best product and the best project win!
