IFOY Award 2019
"Best in Intralogistics" certificates awarded
At the end of the IFOY Test Days 2019 at the exhibition grounds in Hanover, the award organization presented the "Best in Intralogistics" certificates for 2019. Representatives from a total of twelve companies accepted the certificates at the IFOY Test Days Dinner.
Company representatives from Cargometer, Clark, Combilift, Hubtex, Jungheinrich, Raymond, SAE, Still, Torwegge and UniCarriers were delighted to receive the seal of approval. For the first time in the history of the award, there were also certificates for start-ups: ProGlove and Trône Seating. "The 'Best in Intralogistics' seal was introduced last year to visibly document the high degree of innovation of the nominated devices and solutions that have successfully completed the IFOY test procedure. Only the innovations that carry the certificate have undergone the three-part IFOY audit and passed the independent intralogistics test," emphasizes Sascha Schmel, Managing Director of the VDMA Materials Handling and Intralogistics Association, which is the sponsor of the IFOY Award.
The IFOY audit consists of three parts and is traditionally carried out over eight days on the premises of IFOY partner Deutsche Messe AG. The first part of the audit is the scientific IFOY Innovation Check, which is carried out by the Dortmund Fraunhofer Institute for Material Flow and Logistics (IML), the Chair of Technical Logistics at the University of Dresden, the Chair of Materials Handling Material Flow Logistics at the Technical University of Munich and the Chair of Machine Elements and Technical Logistics at Helmut Schmidt University in Hamburg. The equipment is then subjected to a more practice-oriented IFOY test. In the third part of the audit, a 29-member jury assesses the finalists. They also have access to the results of the Innovation Check and the IFY test.
The winner this year will be announced during the IFOY Award Night on April 26 at the Hofburg in Vienna.
