THE IFOY PARTNERS - A PERFECT NETWORK

Behind the IFOY AWARD is not only a powerful team, but also a strong network of

partners that has continued to grow in 2022. How Messe Dortmund, Cascade, CHEP,

GARBE, Fliegl, LTG and the BMW Group are committed to the IFOY.

What would the IFOY AWARD be

without its partners? Numerous

companies have once again made

their very special contribution to

supporting the IFOY in 2022. New to

the IFOY family is trailer manufacturer

Fliegl Fahrzeugbau. The Triptisbased

company provided a worthy

stage with its brand-new Fliegl

MegaRunner curtain saddle, where

the IFOY finalists received their

Best-in-Intralogistics Certificates.

The testing took place for the second

time at the Dortmund fairgrounds –

Messe Dortmund has been an official

IFOY partner since 2021.

In 2022, the test pallets and containers

on site were blue again. The

pooling network CHEP has remained

committed to the IFOY AWARD as an

official pallet partner.

Cascade, the global leader in the

development, production and

distribution of forklift attachments,

forks and accessories for industrial

trucks, was also back in 2022.

GARBE Industrial Real Estate has

been on board as an exclusive IFOY

partner in the field of logistics real

estate for some time now. The

company presented itself again this

time, among other things, with its

banner „Your forklift needs a home?

Ask Garbe!“.

For its logistics, the IFOY AWARD

and numerous exhibitors rely on

our logistics partner LTG – Landauer

Transportgesellschaft Doll KG. As

is customary, all transports arrived

on time in Dortmund. By the way, all

the equipment is stored at the LTG

warehouse in Garching near Munich.

The IFOY AWARD ceremony in 2022

will take place in the large auditorium

of BMW Welt in Munich.

The IFOY AWARD is sponsored by

the VDMA Materials Handling and

Intralogistics Association and, since

2022, also by the Robotics + Automation

Association within the VDMA.

Dr Robert Habeck, Federal Minister

for Economic Affairs and

Climate Action, is the patron.

Pioneering Regenerative

Supply Chains

CHEP goes from neutral to positive in its 2025 strategy

The way the world manufactures,

transports and sells goods is

changing. Developing a smarter

and more sustainable supply chain,

thereby reducing environmental

impact has always been CHEP‘s

mission. Now the company is evolving

from ‚better‘ to ‚positive‘ to make a

positive contribution to the planet and

society. That is the goal of CHEP’s

Regenerative strategy.

The supply chain solutions provider and market leader in

pallet pooling is taking its sustainability goals a step further

and move from ‘doing less bad’ to creating a nature-positive

economy with re-use, resilience and regeneration at its core.

To this end, it has launched an ambitious 2025 Sustainability

strategy aimed at pioneering regenerative supply chains. The

strategy includes a commitment to the 1.5°C target of the

Paris Climate Agreement. As part of these targets, last year,

CHEP achieved CO 2

neutrality in all of its own operations.

Partnering for a supply chain that benefits the

environment

As an expert in regenerative supply chains, CHEP works

with its customers, suppliers and employees to create a value

chain that benefits the environment. The company offsets its

gross emissions in Scope 1 and 2 by investing in reforestation

projects and purchasing renewable energy. The company’s

contribution to climate protection is achieved with a circular

economy based business model, which CHEP has pioneered

for more than 70 years.

In order to achieve the goal of a waste-free supply chain with

zero emissions more quickly, the Zero Waste World program

(ZWW) was launched in 2019. ZWW is a collaborative program

for manufacturers and retailers that aims to create joint

innovations and new, scalable solutions to eliminate waste,

reduce empty km and cut out inefficiencies.

In addition, as part of its commitment to using waste plastic in

its load carriers, CHEP introduced its first product in Europe

made from 100% recycled plastic waste this year:

the Q+ quarter pallet with rollers.

Transport collaborations for greater environmental

protection

CHEP’s unique visibility into European supply chains

and use of advanced data analytics allows CHEP to

identify common transport flows with its customers or

among them and forge transport collaborations. This makes

a significant contribution to climate protection, as over

25 percent of all journeys in the EU are made with partial

or empty loads. According to McKinsey, the supply chains

of a typical consumer goods company generate far higher

environmental costs than the actual operations.

With the help of CHEP solutions, inefficient partial loads

and wasted miles can be almost completely eliminated.

CHEP’s Collaborative Transport Solutions, which have

been in use across Europe for more than seven years,

account for more than 240 collaborations in the region.

These solutions have helped companies save more than

87.3 million empty kilometres and 112 kilotons of CO 2

worldwide.

For supply chains to have a positive impact on the

environment, all parties involved must collaborate. That‘s

why CHEP has set itself the goal of duplicating the

collaborations with customers by 2025. This is the only way

to make an active contribution to a world where business

models do not harm the environment, but actually benefit it.

Foreword

Innovative

Setting

Thomas Westphal

(Lord Mayor of the

City of Dortmund)

in intralogistics, could take place was thanks to an agile team.

The IFOY organisation, Messe Dortmund, the Economic Development

Agency and the relevant authorities all pulled together and

made it possible for a limited number of guests to test equipment

and exchange knowledge at a distance and with a mask.

The masks remained for the 2022 event. But the mouth–to–nose

covering did not deter any interested logisticians from coming

to the second edition of the test event. On the contrary.

Not only has the number of trade visitors grown, but also the

number of exhibitors. And the organisers also improved the

quality of the event: Every day there was a “panel discussion“

at congress level with heads of international companies.

Enthusiastic about small and large forklifts in the TEST CAMP:

Dortmund‘s Lord Mayor Thomas Westphal and Dortmund‘s Exhibition

Director Sabine Loos.

Can‘t be done, doesn‘t exist. This is how one could have

summed up the staging of the TEST CAMP INTRALO-

GISTICS and the IFOY TEST DAYS last year at Messe

Dortmund. Many had reckoned in advance that the test

event as part of the world‘s largest Intralogistics competition

would fall victim to Corona. So everyone was all the more

pleased when the gates were opened for the event in Hall 4

in March – under Corona–compliant conditions, of course.

I was happy to make my own impression of the event and I also

took a seat on one of the forklifts on display – after all, I myself

worked for a logistics company from the Ruhr area for many years.

The fact that the event, at which journalists, scientists and business

representatives are allowed to test the latest innovations

The TEST CAMP with the IFOY AWARD and the city of Dortmund are

a perfect match. On the one hand, the world‘s largest intralogistics

competition – with its exemplary sustainable event format including

testing opportunities. On the other hand, the Ruhr metropolis

with its 900 logistics companies, innovative examples of the

revitalisation of brownfield sites for logistics and its outstanding

research institutions – first and foremost the TU Dortmund, the

Fraunhofer ISST and the Fraunhofer IML. The City of Dortmund‘s

Science 2.0 Master Plan sets out the goal of developing a “Silicon

Economy“ for logistics – under the umbrella of the Fraunhofer IML.

This master plan was also one of the central projects with which

Dortmund applied to the European Commission for the iCapital

Award 2021 – under the motto “Innovation next door“. I am very

proud that our city with its innovation ecosystem was able to

prevail in the final of the most innovative cities against Dublin,

Málaga and Vilnius. The IFOY AWARD fits perfectly into this

ecosystem. I am already very excited to see which innovations

will be awarded the “Oscar of intralogistics“ this year and look

forward to the upcoming rounds of the international competition.

The Team.

➡ Anita Würmser.

IFOY founder, jury chair and head of the IFOY

organisation: In addition to the IFOY AWARD,

the journalist also heads the Logistics

Hall of Fame and advises companies on

communication issues. Some call her the

woman who never sleeps. Her razor-sharp

weapon: her enormous network and her

endless perfectionism.

➡ Thilo Jörgl.

Welcome to our IFOY MGZN 2022.

Anita Würmser.

Full-blooded journalist, IFOY juror from the

very beginning, expert in Intralogistics: The

leading spirit of TEST CAMP INTRALOGISTICS

has been part of the IFOY TEAM since 2018

and, together with Anita Würmser, is a

partner of impact media projects GmbH.

There he is almost alone among women – but

he handles this challenge with excellence.

Two events, one mission:

“Spot on Innovation” is the

motto of the IFOY TEST

DAYS, which have been part of

the TEST CAMP INTRALOGISTICS

in Dortmund since two years. A

total of 51 innovations and 950

participants were on site this

year – more than ever before.

And it cannot be overlooked:

Real life is back. Exhibitors,

guests and even the usually so

aloof CEOs of Intralogistics are

happily throwing themselves into

networking and onto the equipment

as if they hadn’t seen their

own products live for two years.

Someone says: “Finally, trade

fair again.” “Don’t call it a trade

fair,” I reply. The TEST CAMP is a

testing event for all those who

want to experience, drive, try and

test real innovations. Exhibitors

and visitors are limited. Why? So

to ensure that there is enough

space and time to deal intensively

with innovation without

queues and overcrowded stands.

Of course, a change of paradigm

for the trade fair networkers

among us, who make full corridors

the benchmark for success.

But those who have been there

once always come back.

Not to forget: The IFOY AWARD

celebrates its tenth anniversary.

This magazine would not be

enough to write down the “Story

of IFOY” but as we all know,

stories are more interesting than

history anyway - so enjoy 94

pages of IFOY stories. My recommendation:

Start on page 10.

➡ Stefanie Nonnenmann.

For two years, Corona avoided her and then

struck just in time for the IFOY TEST DAYS:

the logistics journalist, e-mobility expert and

social media queen, who has been part of

the IFOY since 2019, nevertheless supported

the team from her home computer.

new off the beaten track. For practitioners who

want to see products live and in action. A great event

that I will gladly attend again.

CEOs rarely give interviews

when they have been in the job

for less than 100 days. For the

IFOY team, Rob Smith, CEO of

to make an exception – and

spoke not only about trends

and personal goals, but also

off-camera about his time as a

student in Bavaria. Page 32

Logisticians are really keen on exchange - across

company boundaries and in fact physically is already

nicer.

Great competition, great presentation of the teams. I

think the TEST CAMP gives another push to be able to

experience clever automation solutions directly.

➡ Dr. Robert Habeck.

The fact that we as the IFOY

organisation have once again

succeeded in winning a prominent

advocate for the award

makes us a little proud: Dr Robert

long-standing tradition. In previous

years, the IFOY AWARD has

also been under the patronage of

the Federal Minister. Page 90

Prologue

How it began – The story before

the story of the IFOY AWARD

ANITA WÜRMSER

01

It is the mid-90s. The number of awards in logistics is small. There is

none in intralogistics, and that is not because intralogistics as a sector

or term does not yet exist: it is dryly called industrial trucks and material

flow technology – and the reaction to the idea of an industry award is

also received dryly. When the original concept of an innovation award for

new products and solutions is proposed, the enthusiasm is limited - in

fact nobody is interested. The industry itself quickly dismisses it with the

argument that the replacement and innovation cycles are so long that an

award could never become established. The concept disappears into a

pigeonhole.

Ten years later, somewhen in the mid-noughties: The Internet and

eCommerce bring momentum to the innovation scene. Awards are en

vogue. Companies across the logistics sector want to show what they can

do and adorn themselves with their trophies – apart from Intralogistics.

The reactions after a new attempt remain somewhat conservative: It is

very difficult to compare forklifts, warehouse technology, etc. or even to

transport them to a test. And, anyway, “do we really need a test as well as

a journalist jury?”. No amount of persuasion, neither technical nor marketing

arguments… nothing helps. Once again the pigeonhole closes.

October 2011, German Logistics Congress, Berlin: The material handling

sector, which is now officially called Intralogistics, wants to become

more visible. There should be something we can do, says an industrial

truck supplier, and remembers that a concept lies somewhere in a pigeonhole.

The momentum is there. The persuasion work begins.

02

Summit at the Mercedes-Benz Museum, Stuttgart

A legendary invitation to the Mercedes-Benz Museum in Stuttgart is

the real genesis of the IFOY AWARD. Commercial vehicle meets Intralogistics

– around the table sit Clark, Crown, Linde Material Handling,

STILL, Toyota Material Handling, and the VDMA. Mercedes’ Head

of Communications speaks clearly about awards: About what goes

wrong and what goes well in the awards business, which trophy one

would rather hide in the basement, and what a highly coveted award

should look like. The participants are impressed – and fired-up for

their own industry award. It has never been mentioned before, but the

Intralogistics sector is probably one of the few industries that makes

independence and a high-quality selection process a prerequisite.

Genuine competition, statutes and a test procedure to serve as a decision-making

aid for the jury are being developed. To date, the Federal

Ministry of Economics assumes the patronage, and the VDMA

Intralogistics and Material Handling becomes the non-material sponsor.

In 2021, the VDMA Robotics and Automation joins as a sponsor.

Stories of IFOY

10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY –

stories and highlights of a decade

The IFOY Trophy

An interdisciplinary creation

The weighty piece of art was created by an

interdisciplinary team of designers, technicians,

researchers and media experts

at Fraunhofer IML in Dortmund. Where researchers

work on their ideas until an innovation

is born is the right place to create

a trophy that distinguishes innovation.

It should reflect the values of the IFOY

AWARD: Power, Innovation, Networking.

The symbolism of the IFOY trophy

A three-centimetre-thick aluminium plate

cut precisely into IFOY honeycomb in

the background symbolises coordinated

strength. An identical, only three millimetre

thin aluminium plate in the foreground

stands for innovation. A glass plate in IFOY

copper, in which the net structures of the

IFOY sign are reflected in countless shades

depending on the incidence of light, simultaneously

separates and connects the filigree

and solid components of the award. It

stands for creativity and networking, and

thus symbolically for the infinite possibilities

and ways of creating innovations. The

manufacturing method is a symbol of the

technological-innovative claim of the IFOY

AWARD. It is made with a water-cutting machine

that cuts the shape and net structure

out of solid aluminium blocks with millimetre

precision.

IFOY AWARD #1 – #10

In 2012, the set-up of the organisation begins. Website, jury, committees,

corprate design take six months. With statutes that still ensure independence

and expertise today, the starting signal for the first IFOY season is

given in August 2012.

Between August 2012 and June 2013, the application phase, nomination,

IFOY Test Days, election by the jury follow, and on 4 June 2013 the IFOY trophy

is awarded for the first time in Hall B1 of CeMAT@transport logistic at

Messe München. Crown, Jungheinrich and STILL win an IFOY AWARD - but

strictly speaking, all finalists are already winners, because the statutes

stipulate that only the best of the best are nominated.

www.ifoy.org

11

05

And the IFOY AWARD goes to or

where the cheers come from

It is fortunate that in the conception

phase there is never any mention of if

and when the winners will be informed.

It is just taken for granted that it would

happen before the award ceremony and

when the time comes, it is too late.

So the excitement is real, as is the outcry

from the teams when the laudators

announce the names of the winners for

the first time. The IFOY cheer is born.

Since then, with the exception of the

two Corona years when no one wanted

to be forced to make an avoidable journey,

the winners are not informed in advance.

Years later, an IFOY participant wants

to put the topic back on the agenda of

the VDMA‘s marketing working group

AK4. The request is unanimously rejected,

notably from the ranks of the manufacturers.

The Intralogistics sector prefers

it to love the tension, apparently. A

circumstance that, of course, does not

prevent the nominees from trying to uncover

the secret before the awards ceremony.

12

06

The colder, the better

The first test week in March 2013 on the

premises of the Deutsche Messe in Hanover

becomes a challenge. Minus 15 degrees

outside temperature, hall 26 unheated,

and you don‘t have to have a fine nose

to sense the horse show the day before.

It is simply fantastic. The jurors enthusiastically

ride anything with wheels, the

testers are in their element, the industry

is excited. Pea stew, calories, hot tea and

testing, testing, testing help against the

cold.

Until 2021, the motto is: There is no bad

weather, only bad clothes. In 2022, more

than one participant complained why the

hall in Dortmund was suddenly heated.

07

Sustainability? Stop talking.

Just do it.

It has never been talked about too much,

but innovation instead of decoration is an

IFOY principle since day one. It permeates

everything which is done. The test sets

are functional, the materials reusable -

even when it‘s more expensive. Aluminium

truss stand construction, rental furniture,

eco-carpets, central catering, short

distances, green power ... saving water,

waste, time and money.

13

The Winners

From over 200 applicants, 135 new products and projects from 51

companies have been nominated as finalists, 47 of which have

received an IFOY AWARD.

Thank you, Klaus Hellmann!

Things get hectic for a short time in 2015. The halls on the

Deutsche Messe site are fully booked, and a new hall has

to be found for the IFOY test. Hellmann Worldwide Logistics

provides uncomplicated help. Klaus Hellmann clears

out the historic hall at the headquarters in Osnabrück, arranges

the installation of WLAN and the ground floor of

the legendary Speicher 3 becomes the IFOY test office for

a week.

On February 25 and 26, the jury arrives: 22 jurors test a

dozen devices from the manufacturers Clark, Jungheinrich,

STILL, Toyota and UniCarriers. The TEST DAYS 2015 at

Hellmann Worldwide Logistics will be remembered as one

of the best in IFOY history. Those who were there are still

talking about it today.

Costs and values

The application and nomination for the IFOY AWARD is subject

to a fee from the beginning. Those who apply are informed

that fees will be charged in the event of a nomination for the

final - an appllication is the point of no return. Start-ups competing

in their own category since 2018, however, only pay a

compulsory fee.

Each year, some 30 to 40 innovations are submitted; as a rule,

no more than about 15 make it to the finals.

The fact is, not everyone has the courage to enter IFOY. An

application requires full attention. The IFOY audit is one of the

toughest in the world, neither testers nor jurors make compromises

when it comes to innovation value, quality, market

relevance and customer benefit.

And: IFOY fees do not guarantee a win. They guarantee transparency,

independence, an international (test) organisation

and a unique marketing value.

In figures: 460 magazines in 46 countries report on the IFOY

finalists - in more than 3400 articles (as of 2021). The reach

of the online coverage alone is over 920 million readers in

2021. The value of the first IFOY nominations in 2013 is around

150,000 euros, today it is on average around 500,000 euros.

The marketing value for intralogistics as a whole adds up to

around 35 million euros in ten years.

11

Journalist jury vs. expert jury

Journalists! Really? Why not intralogistics experts?

These questions were asked more than once in the

early days. Apart from the fact that most of the editors

do have expertise, it is far more important that

they know the trends, the target audience of the Intralogistics

sector, that they are an independent authority,

which guarantees neutrality and media attention.

The founding jury includes editors-in-chief from 14

leading international logistics magazines from Germany,

Austria, Switzerland, Great Britain, Sweden, Italy,

Poland and Romania. In 2014 the jury already includes

18 jurors from eleven nations and soon the IFOY

jury will be represented on all continents. Currently, 24

jurors come from 19 nations. The requirements for jurors

are high – every year numerous media apply for a

seat. In addition, a review of all jury seats takes place

regularly.

One awful event will always be remembered: founding

juror Anders Karlsson (Sweden) dies in a tragic accident

on September 30, 2020. RiP, Anders! Never forget.

12

IFOY rumours and legends

You can hardly count them any more. All the better. We love rumours and

legends about the IFOY AWARD. A small selection:

The legend persists that the IFOY was once a pure forklift award. The fact

is that the IFOY AWARD was planned as an Intralogistics award from day 1.

The manufacturers of industrial trucks simply recognised the marketing

effect a little earlier and applied.

The manufacturers control the IFOY AWARD: Another legend. The fact is

that manufacturers also sit on the advisory board. The comittee is regularly

consulted on technical issues. For example, when it comes to new

categories or detailed technical questions. It advises the IFOY organisation

but has no decision-making rights.

The following can also be filed in the category “alternative facts“: Wellknown

Intralogistics companies may have bought an IFOY AWARD. From

time to time there are indeed companies that only want to enter if they are

guaranteed to win. None has ever been admitted to the IFOY.

13

IFOY and Corona

Mid-January 2020: IFOY finalist Raymond Corp.,

USA, asks whether the IFOY TEST DAYS will take

place. Counter question: Yes, why? Answer: Because

of Corona. Four weeks later, the nominees all

over the world travel to the event. 20 nations are

present. It should be the last face-to-face event

in logistics before the first Corona lockdow on

March 22. The trade fair in Hanover closes its doors

and the awards ceremony takes place digitally at

short notice. 1,000 people attend the event on the

screens and the cheering continues nonetheless.

We all know what pandemic means. Really? Well,

research reveals one thing: every pandemic lasts

seven years. So waiting for the end is no option. The

IFOY is changing. There is little to do, because the

IFOY organisation is already digitised. Astonishingly

many things are getting easier even so, but planning

is turning out to be more complicated, more

volatile, more unpredictable. Nevertheless, a fundamental

decision is made: All events will take

place face-to-face if permitted by law – of course

with a hygiene concept.

March 2021: Lockdown #2: Events are cancelled,

postponed, digital. The IFOY moves to Dortmund.

The IFOY TEST DAYS and the TEST CAMP Intralogistics

take place face-to-face. The new motto:

Testing makes the difference. Dress code for the

awards ceremony at the German Football Museum:

Black Tie.

March 2022: Same procedure: Incidences reach

record levels. Events are all cancelled, postponed,

digital. The IFOY TEST DAYS and the TEST CAMP Intralogistics

take place face-to face with a total of

950 participants and 51 innovations. By now, everyone

has got used to the masks.

How the IFOY test became an audit

Anyone who wants to create an award should first of

all write down the statutes. They answer all the questions.

When writing down the IFOY statutes, the focus

lay on two things: testing and innovation.

Since 2013, all finalists must undergo the IFOY test.

Hundreds of tests and test reports have been delivered

by IFOY chief tester Theo Egberts to date. He

measures the hard facts: load capacities, fuel consumption,

speeds. The test report, which is sometimes

also called the impression, judges in addition

what cannot be measured in a standardised way.

Since 2022, MM specialist editor and IFOY judge Bernd

Maienschein is responsible for the test reports in the

non-vehicle categories, including Robots, AGV/AMR,

software, warehouse solution, Special of the Year

and start-ups.

The test results are an important indicator for the jury

and extremely popular among trade magazine readers.

However, IFOY is an innovation award, and victory

is not a matter of whether a forklift consumes

two percent more or less energy. In order to be able

to assess the innovation value, a technology comparison

with the market standards is necessary. This is

the role of the scientific innovation check, which premiered

in 2014.

Scientists from Fraunhofer Institute IML and IPA, the

Technical University of Munich, the Technical University

of Hamburg-Harburg and the Technical University

of Dresden analyse the IFOY applications and compare

them with the state of the art. Based on visual

inspections and partly a functional test, the innovations

are comprehended at the IFOY TEST DAYS and

their function is verified. During the evaluation, innovative

advancements as well as successful new

compositions and genuine innovations are identified

and judged. The final decision is made by the jury.

The Best-in-Intralogistics Certificate:

In order to document the high degree of innovation

and the technical quality of the finalists who have

successfully completed the IFOY Test procedure

even more clearly, the Best-in-Intralogistics Certificate

was being introduced in 2018. Only those who

receive the „Best in Intralogistics“ certificate have

passed the IFOY Audit and undergone the toughest

intralogistics test in the world. It is the visible sign

of innovation.

SPOT ON INNOVATION 15

IFOY One Eighty

“The IFOY AWARD runs in sneakers,“ someone once stated. Change is part

of the programme and the right footwear, as we all know, ensures mobility.

The TEST DAYS take place in Hanover, Osnabrück, Munich and Dortmund, the

award ceremonies in Munich, Hanover, Dortmund and Vienna. Nothing is set

in stone, everything must follow one goal: To showcase the performance and

innovative power of the Intralogistics industry worldwide.

That is why over ten years not a single stone has been left unturned, with one

exception: the focus on innovation was, is and will remain the DNA of the IFOY

AWARD. To be continued...

TEST CAMP INTRALOGISTICS comes up

For a long time, only the finalists, jurors, testers and

IFOY partners have access to the IFOY TEST DAYS. All

in all, there are no more than 150 people.

This changes in 2018: During the IFOY TEST DAYS, a

conspicuously large number of people walk through

the hall who nobody knows. It turns out that they are

logistics and purchasing managers from all kinds of

companies who have read or heard about the IFOY

test. Logistics service providers, automotive suppliers

and OEMs, a DIY store manager and a local furniture

retailer are among them, and they all say the

same: „We are interested in innovations and new

equipment“ and „Can we also test ourselves?“

Of course, without the necessary safety precautions,

testing is not allowed, but nobody wants to let the

“intruders“ go without an impression. A quick tour

through the IFOY innovations is organised; it will be

the blueprint for the popular highlight tours. A question

arises: why not admit a limited number of decision-makers

interested in innovation?

In early 2020, for the first time, the last two days of

IFOY TEST DAYS will be officially opened to 50 guests

invited from all areas of logistics. The participants,

who have been networked for decades at trade fairs,

initially struggle with the format. “What, only 50?“

says a product developer who only finds a few minutes

for his first sandwich of the day after an intense

eight hours. One of the visitors says briskly at 8.30

in the morning, “Well, I‘ll be through in two hours.“ In

the evening he extends his hotel booking for a further

night.

Standardised truss boxes and central stand construction,

uniform branding, no crowded aisles, the

hall unheated – it takes time, but the principle of

“class not mass“, which applies to visitors and exhibitors

alike, catches on.

A new event is born: The TEST CAMP INTRALOGIS-

TICS. Motto: SPOT on INNOVATION. Intensive handson

testing is now not only allowed, but is part of the

programme.

In March 2021, the TEST CAMP takes place for the first

time in Dortmund as an independent event parallel to

the IFOY TEST DAYS. Around 100 B2B guests are invited.

Only innovations from the IFOY finalists may be

shown.

Despite the corona pandemic, interest in the TEST

CAMP is growing by leaps and bounds. When the

Camp opens its doors again in Dortmund in 2022,

four panel discussions and numerous highlight tours

complete the new event. For the first time, innovations

from third-party exhibitors will also be included.

However, there is one condition for exhibitors: it must

be an innovation, a new or unique device.

Most recently, the IFOY TEST DAYS and the TEST CAMP

INTRALOGISTICS together brought in 51 innovations

and a total of 950 participants.

meeting rooms. The increase in space had become necessary

because, in addition to the 14 products nominated for the

IFOY AWARD 2022, other innovations and the products of the

IFOY partners were also exhibited, as event organiser and IFOY

2G PLUS AS A STANDARD

To protect participants against a Covid-19

infection, a strict safety and hygiene

concept was developed for the TEST CAMP

INTRALOGISTICS. The rule 2G-Plus was

applied as an access requirement. Even before

entering the hall, each participant received a

Corona control band every day.

These strict rules also applied to all participants

during set-up.

products and solutions would also have

then the test areas would have had to be

reduced. Not an option for the organiser.

“The USP of this unique logistics event,

apart from the sustainability approach, is

the hands-on testing of the innovations,”

says Würmser.

Whether tuggers, order-picking forklifts

or truck-mounted forklifts: the 950 participants

over six days already had a wide

selection of equipment to choose from

in the area of industrial trucks, which

they could drive and test themselves,

wearing the prescribed safety shoes, of

course, in cordoned-off areas. During

the three TEST CAMP days from 21 to 23

March, the numerous decision-makers

from industry, trade and logistics services

were also able to put all 14 products

from twelve companies through

their paces during the three-stage IFOY

Audit at the IFOY TEST DAYS. Among

them were new developments from

of the opportunity for test drives

and intensive technical discussions with

the exhibiting companies at the company

boxes – representatives of manufacturers

also travelled to the Ruhr metropolis

to take a look at the innovations of

competitors and to find out about industry

trends. Because robotics is assuming

an increasingly important position in the

field of logistics, representatives of the

board of the VDMA Robotics & Automation

time during TEST CAMP.

The Managing Director of the trade

association, Patrick Schwarzkopf, had

organised the meeting. Last year, the

association had already joined the IFOY

alongside the VDMA Materials Handling

and Intralogistics Association.

PREMIERE OF A CONGRESS

PROGRAMME

The European Intralogistics experts held

their working meeting in the metropolis

and took the opportunity to see how

the IFOY AWARD finalists are tested and

what a modern, sustainable showcase

of Intralogistics looks like.

Regardless of whether they were association

representatives, B2B visitors or exhibitors,

the participants made lively use

of the congress programme in addition

to the guided highlight tours. For the

first time, the IFOY organisation had a

stage set up in the middle of the hall,

where a panel discussion with top-class

experts took place every day. The discussions

focused on the trend topics of

innovation management, Intralogistics

4.0 and the VDA 5050 communication

interface. An expansion of the congress

programme is planned for next year.

The Main Stage was already used for the

opening. IFOY AWARD jury chair Anita

Würmser explained how the three-stage

IFOY Audit works and which criteria are

particularly important in the jury’s assessment.

In his welcoming speech, Dortmund’s

Lord Mayor Thomas Westphal emphasised

why the world’s largest

concept with streamings and videos.

The highlight tour for the jury

was recorded. In addition, the IFOY

organisation made short videos of

all nominees, an after movie and a

documentation about sustainability,

which were placed on the website

of the IFOY AWARD (www.ifoy.org)

and in all of the social media channels.

Intralogistics competition including the

TEST CAMP and his city are a “perfect

match”.

He said that more than 900 logistics

companies are active in the metropolis,

that there are numerous examples of

the revitalisation of industrial wastelands

for logistics and that there are excellent

research institutions – above all the TU

Dortmund, the Fraunhofer ISST and the

Fraunhofer IML.

It was also the head of the Fraunhofer

IML, Prof. Dr. Dr. h. c. Michael ten Hompel,

who gave the key note on the topic

of “How innovations change logistics” on

the opening day of the event. He gave

the audience a series of steep theses to

take away with them.

Among other things, he emphasised

that the topic of blockchain in logistics

is currently underestimated by many. In

the future, the technology will play an

important role from planning to payment.

He also took up the cudgels for

open source strategies. “It is a waste

of time and money if 100 developers

programmed the same interface,” the

scientist said.

The highlight of his lecture was nothing

less than a world premiere. The scientist

from the Fraunhofer IML in Dortmund

showed publicly for the first time what

the robot “EvoBot” can do, for example,

the device can grab a ball or other

object and then transport the object on

two parallel wheels, while keeping its

balance.

The highlight on the second day was the

presentation of the “Best in Intralogistics”

certificates to the IFOY AWARD finalists

from the hands of Steffen Bersch, the

new Chairman of the Board of the VDMA

Materials Handling and Intralogistics

Association.

The IFOY Audit for the nominees again

consisted of three parts this year. First,

all the equipment went through the IFOY

Test conducted by Dutch intralogistics

expert Theo Egberts. In this process,

the finalists in each category are not

SECOND TIME THIS YEAR

compared with each other, but with the

relevant equipment in the competition.

The industrial trucks underwent standardised

driving and functional tests.

In the second part of the audit, researchers

conducted the IFOY Innovation

Check. The audit was concluded by

the assessment of the 25 jurors and their

approved advisors.

The jury members – trade journalists

from all continents – were presented

with all the results of the IFOY Test as

well as the IFOY Innovation Check for

the voting.

Many B2B visitors from the automotive

industry travelled to the TEST CAMP to

see the AGV Mesh-Up. It was initiated

by the VDMA Materials Handling and

Intralogistics Association and its member

companies. Following the world

premiere of the first live test of the VDA

5050 communication interface the

previous year, the 2022 test scenario was

relaunched and once again gave B2B

visitors the opportunity to observe the

functions of Automated Guided Vehicles

(AGVs) for themselves and to exchange

ideas with developers and scientists.

Participants in the AGV Mesh-Up were

the companies DS AUTOMOTION, ek

robotics, Fraunhofer IML, incubed IT,

Omron Electronics, SAFELOG, Siemens

and SYNAOS. Compared to the previous

year, there were some innovations –

devices had to avoid obstacles, transfer

processes were shown. The higher-level

control system came from the cloud –

IFOY finalist SYNAOS provided it.

During the TEST CAMP, the talks were

not only about innovations, but also

about sustainability. The IFOY organisation

has also made sustainability a principle

and taken a number of measures to

effectively conserve resources.

The focus was on reusability and recycling,

the use of regenerative energies

and, above all, the fundamental renunciation

of equipment that is not absolutely

necessary.

Next year, the event format with the

opportunity for test drives of equipment

will again take place at Messe Dortmund.

The date has already been set: March 29

and 30, 2023.

PANEL DISCUSSION: INTRALOGISTICS 4.0

Opportunities and challenges in terms

of Intralogistics 4.0. This was the topic

of the panel discussion with top-class

industry representatives on the second

day of the TEST CAMP INTRALOGISTICS

on the Main Stage.

Alongside Steffen Bersch (CEO SSI

Schäfer and new Chairman of the Board

of the VDMA Materials Handling and

Intralogistics Association), FEM President

Jos de Vuyst (CEO stow Group) and

Wolfgang Hillinger (Managing Director

DS Automotion GmbH and VDMA Board

Member), Thomas Vortkamp (Senior

Automation Engineer at DB Schenker)

discussed the topic.

The moderator was Peter MacLeod, IFOY

jury member and News Editor of Logistics

Business Magazine.

The discussion began with the panellists‘

views on the latest milestones on the

road to Intralogistics 4.0, with the impact

of the Corona pandemic on business

running like a thread through the discussion.

On the most important advances,

Wolfgang Hillinger said: “We see a strong

integration between traditional hardware,

automation solutions and software, all

brought together on one platform.“

He added that this helps customers to

achieve higher productivity and financial

savings. Thomas Vortkamp agreed, from

the point of view of the customer DB

Schenker: “We see logistics automation

as one of the key factors to improve

our business. AGVs, AMRs and similar

technologies are now increasingly appearing

in our customers‘ tenders. Not

everything is affordable. But if the ROI is

good, then it is really interesting for us as

a company.“

Steffen Bersch emphasised that the industry

is observing that various elements

of intralogistics are becoming more

INNOVATIONS NEED A

SHORT ROI

closely linked – the driver here is customer

behaviour.

IT at the point of sale, conveyor technology,

storage, order picking – the challenge,

he said, is to unite these technologies

as well as people‘s processes in a

single system.

In terms of the

factors driving

the development

of Intralogistics

4.0, Jos de Vuyst

puts the customer

first. “The

customer, who

wants his package

delivered the

next day, drives

all innovations. A second driver is the

small and medium-sized enterprises. We

see that many automation solutions are

developed for larger companies. But you

can‘t forget the small companies. We see

that more and more medium-sized companies

are starting to buy new systems.“

Thomas Vortkamp agreed with him and

added: “Consumer behaviour is changing,

it is going strongly in the direction

of individualisation. Consumers are thus

forcing all companies in the industry to

constantly look for new technological

solutions.“

The DB Schenker representative Thomas

Vortkamp stressed several times that any

technology that is developed must have

a quick ROI. In his opinion, the integration

of IT systems and the lack of engineers

are the biggest obstacles to the

wider introduction of Intralogistics 4.0

technologies.

PANEL DISCUSSION: MANAGEMENT OF INNOVATIONS

When it comes to the management of

innovations, both start-ups and established

companies can make many adjustments

and learn new things. This was the

tenor of the panel on the opening day of

the TEST CAMP INTRALOGISTICS, which

was moderated by Dr Jana Jost, Head

of Department Robotics and Cognitive

Systems at Fraunhofer IML.

“It’s a long way from the lab to practice,”

emphasised Prof. Dr Thorsten Schmidt,

holder of the Chair of Technical Logistics

at the Technical University of Dresden.

Start-ups should also not go into projects

with too high expectations and

should pay close attention to the test

phase. In any case, the young entrepreneurs

should not underestimate the time

factor.

“Start-ups also have to take into account

that many things take longer in companies.

That’s why they have to learn the

processes,” added Victor Kaupe from

Project Management Logistics EMEA

at BASF Coatings. He reported that his

company is currently testing the use of

exoskeletons.

A GOOD ERROR CULTURE

IS ESSENTIAL

In general, employees in his company are

strongly involved in innovation management,

testing and idea generation from

the very beginning. “Only in this way

does the technology become part of the

employees,” Vaupe emphasised. In order

for projects to be successful, he believes

it is essential that employees are involved

and that communication is given a high

priority in the company.

Marco Prüglmeier, CEO/CTO at Noyes

Technologies, took the same line. He reported

that at his former employer, a car

manufacturer, the production of learning

videos as well as training on innovations

played a major

role.

In his opinion, a

good error culture

is essential

in innovation

management.

Therefore, innovation

experts

should not work

in isolation in a

department, but in close interaction with

the day-to-day business. “Because early

feedback from the workforce is of enormous

importance,” the Munich entrepreneur

emphasised.

In the course of his career, he has also

learned that in addition to employees

from the shop floor, other departments,

such as maintenance and the works

council, must also be involved in new

projects at an early stage. In order to

avoid flops, he advises companies that

basically the following steps must be

observed in innovation management:

search, evaluation, usability and scalability.

Scientist Schmidt regretted that “currently

many innovations in Germany fall

by the wayside and many initial developments

come from abroad”. In this

context, he appealed to companies to

be more courageous in this area. In his

opinion, the lack of skilled workers in this

country is an opportunity for numerous

new solutions in intralogistics to pay off

financially.

In this context, he also mentioned the

topic of open source as an accelerator

of developments: “The time is ripe for

not ten experts to develop exactly the

same thing, but to be able to fall back on

a basic development,” scientist Thorsten

Schmidt said.

One of the highlights

of TEST CAMP INT-

the eye of visitors

right from the counter

in exhibition hall 3: the AGV

Mesh-Up on a test area of 600

square metres. After the world

premiere of the first live test of

the VDA 5050 communication

interface, this year an even more

complex test scenario with Automated

Guided Vehicles (AGV)

and Autonomous Mobile Robots

(AMR) took place. The initiator of

the event was again the VDMA


Association with its member

companies. The aim of VDA

5050 is for automated transport

vehicles in the warehouse, i.e.

tugger trains, AGVs or AMRs,

to communicate via plug-andplay

technology independently

of manufacturers and systems.

For the devices this means in

concrete terms: they drive with

different types of navigation (for

example, line-guided or contourbased),

but communicate with

the higher-level control system in

a common data language. At the

test premiere in 2021, six vehicles

from different suppliers drove

VDA 5050. This year there were

seven vehicles and the test area

was expanded. Various obstacles

were erected, pick-up and dropoff

stations for vehicles were set

up and an additional driving area

for AMR was designated. This

time, the guidance system was

provided by SYNAOS. The seven

vehicles came from DS AUTO-

MOTION, ek robotics, Fraunhofer

IML, incubed IT, OMRON, SAFELOG

and Siemens. Whereas last year

the aim was to test the practical

implementation of VDA 5050 live

for the first time and to drive on

navigation was demonstrated

in a defined area that was used

by some of the vehicles. The

vehicles also had to avoid an

obstacle there. Interesting detail:

The guidance control of SYNAOS

came from the cloud. This year

also saw the premiere of a panel

discussion by the VDMA on the

topic of "VDA 5050 – Status Quo

INTERVIEW WITH

ROB SMITH

(CEO KION GROUP)

Interview: Thilo Jörgl

What goals have you set yourself professionally for the

first year?

Quite ambitious. We have exciting goals this year that

connect us all our way to our mid-term objectives for next

year. We grew our business about two billion Euros last

year and between now and next year we want to grow

another two billion Euros to over twelve billion of revenue

and double digit profitability between ten and twelve percent.

We are well on our way to doing so.

Mr. Smith, you have only recently become CEO of the

Kion Group. Could you tell us how difficult the first weeks

were?

The first weeks were fantastic. I am doing what I call meet,

greet, listen, learn. I am talking to customers, I have met

Kion colleagues in the Americas and in Europe. Moreover

I have been in video calls with people in South America

and Asia-Pacific. I am listening carefully to what our

customers are telling me – how they see our business and

how they see their business, their needs today as well as

their growth needs tomorrow. Then I have talked to our

own employees and have learnt about our ambitions and

what we do well, and what we can do better. My assessment

is: The Kion Group is in a very good position and we

have enormous potential for the future. These are exciting

days and it´s actually a lot of fun.

What are currently the biggest challenges in the Intralogistics

business for a group like the Kion Group?

Right now everyone is struggling with supply chain shortage.

We have never had so many 99 percent completed

trucks – ready to go but missing three parts on average.

This is a real challenge. Therefore we put a task force together.

We are working on that topic day and night basically.

Every time we can get a part we do, even if we have

to buy it more expensively. Because we are focused on our

commitment to customers. We are making those deliveries

even in challenging times. I am confident that our teams

are on a good way.

What are the most important trends for the intralogistics

sector over the next five years?

It´s all about digitalisation and automation. Another trend

is energy – electrification and battery management. It´s

about the shift from lead acid to lithium-ion. And it´s about

artificial intelligence and 5G.

How prepared is the Kion Group for the trends?

With the technologies and innovations we have and our

strong brands we are very well positioned in these challenges.

INTERVIEW WITH STEFFEN

BERSCH ( CEO SSI SCHÄFER,

CHAIR OF THE BOARD OF

VDMA MATERIALS HANDLING

& INTRALOGISTICS )


The VDMA is the sponsor of the IFOY AWARD. What is

the aim of your association?

The IFOY AWARD is a great platform for VDMA members

to present their solutions. We are very grateful being here.

Let‘s talk about the AGV Mesh-Up and the VDA 5050

communication interface. Why is the functional test,

which has already taken place for the second time at

TEST CAMP INTRALOGISTICS, so important?

The initial idea of the AGV Mesh-Up for example came

up after the German automotive industry approached us

to develop a joined communication interface for AGVs

and AMRs. The VDMA was very much attracted by that,

because we are also not interested in developing and

having several different interfaces. The functional test

is so important because different suppliers of individual

solutions come together to work under one fleet controller,

one software platform, for a customer. We really need to

see more of initiatives like this. This is a great role model

for all of us.

The IFOY AWARD is taking place for the tenth time. How

has it developed?

When we come from the historic development, the sponsoring,

it was the aim to make the IFOY AWARD more international

and to achieve a larger reach. When we look at

the event of this year, we see that this has been achieved.

At the moment the industry is facing a lot of challenges.

How can the VDMA help the members?

The VDMA supports companies with a lot with insights

about crises like for example material shortages, the war in

the Ukraine and general developments in the industry. It is

a platform outside the competitive situation. We can openly

discuss about certain macroeconomic situations. The

VDMA also helps the companies to have political influence.

We have about one million employees in the entire

industry and we need to be heard in politics. The VDMA is

the right platform for the industry.

What are the most important trends in Intralogistics over

the next five years?

The industry follows the megatrends like for example

urbanisation or population growths. We also see that the

consumer behaviour is changing to more individualisation.

That has an effect on suppliers and their developments

in automation. I think about case picking, piece picking

and also software. We all have to think more about end-toend

IT solutions and robotics.

INTERVIEW WITH JOS DE VUYST

(CEO STOW GROUP, FEM PRESIDENT)


Mr. de Vuyst, how important is an award like the IFOY

AWARD for the industry?

In my eyes it is very important. There are many innovations

today. If you win an award, you will get a lot of

attention.

You are also the President of the FEM. What challenges

does the Intralogistics industry have?

There is a number of challenges. After the Covid-19 crisis

we have a war in the Ukraine. The companies face huge

short-term challenges in the supply chains. Many raw

materials are not available, the prices are very high at the

moment. We saw price jumps of 40 or even 50 percent

in one week. That is all hard to manage. Of course on the

longer run we have very interesting challenges.

What do you mean?

The whole business is changing as the habits of the people

are changing. They wish to buy everything at anytime 24

hours a day. This results in many issues for the companies

that are active in material handling. E-commerce is a big

driver for automation. On top of that there are also topics

like sustainability, ESG (Environment, Social, Governance)

and a lot of legislation that chances in the European Union.

FEM can support the companies a lot.

What have been the biggest challenges for intralogistics

companies since the beginning of the pandemic?

On the one hand there were a lot of uncertainties: material

shortages, the instability of the production systems,

getting service people out to the customers – only to name

a few. Installing a new warehouse was sometimes impossible.

But on the other hand, the demand for new often

digital solutions started to grow in the second half of 2020.

There was much more pressure on the companies being

competitive. In the spring of 2020, the pandemic hit us

hard. But already in the fourth quarter of 2020, we started

to deal with it.

How does FEM support the companies?

We support a kind of regulatory framework for a number of

topics – for example the green deal, digitalisation, Artificial

Intelligence and noise directives. FEM is lobbying towards

politicians to help setting up this framework.

What are the major trends in the coming five years?

It is all about people, all about customers. They want

everything faster and cheaper. That results in enormous

challenges in the supply chain. Sustainability and ESG are

two other trends. If we like it or not, ESG is driving companies

to work better. Automation and also innovation are a

result of all these trends that I mentioned. But the biggest

challenge in our industry is finding people. There is a huge

fight on talents. With Covid-19 the situation has changed a

lot in terms of flexibility of work for example.

Next Door

The IFOY TEST DAYS and the TEST CAMP

INTRALOGISTICS took place in 2022 for the second

time in Dortmund – the city that now bears

the title of “European Capital of Innovation”.

BY STEFANIE NONNENMANN

As in the previous year, the latest innovations

in intralogistics were once again tested at the

second edition of the IFOY TEST DAYS and the

TEST CAMP INTRALOGISTICS at the Messe Dortmund

exhibition centre. A key success factor

of the format is that various solutions are tried

out and evaluated in one place. Through direct

exchange with the companies, the event offers

the opportunity to discover new things, discuss

potentials and initiate further developments.

The idea that successful innovations are created

in neighbourly cooperation has been promoted

in Dortmund for years. For this reason,

the Ruhr metropolis applied for the iCapital

Award of the European Commission under the

motto “Innovation Next Door - Future from the

Neighbourhood”. The mix of social, sustainable

and technology-oriented innovation projects

and strategic approaches ultimately convinced

the jury and led to success: Dortmund is so far

the only German city that in the end was awarded

the title of “European Innovation Capital”.

Lord Mayor Thomas Westphal is more than

thrilled with this award: “The prize is a result

of teamwork in Dortmund as a major city of

neighbours. Many committed partners from

science, business, city society and administration

have built up a sustainable innovation

ecosystem in recent years. A breeding

ground has been created for start-ups and

companies, for research and development,

for education and culture. But also for the

implementation of good ideas, social projects

and creative solutions on the ground in our

neighbourhoods,” the city leader makes clear.

Mariya Gabriel, EU Commissioner for Research,

Innovation and Education, Culture and Youth,

also highlighted the concept of the Smart City

and the Science 2.0 Master Plan in the course

of the award. An important part of this plan is

the competence field of logistics. Excellent

research institutions such as the TU Dortmund,

the Fraunhofer IML and the Fraunhofer

ISST ensure that Dortmund is also one of the

leading research clusters internationally.

One goal is the “Silicon Economy” as a counter-design

to Silicon Valley, a decentralised

and open open-source infrastructure for

the B2B platform economy, which is being

pioneered to a large extent by Fraunhofer

IML. Practical applications of the

technologies in logistics are also being researched

in this area at the Rhine-Ruhr Machine

Learning Competence Centre (ML2R)

and the European Blockchain Institute and

are becoming a flagship for Dortmund.

The science and technology campus in Dortmund

is already one of the leading high-tech

locations in Europe. To further accelerate

technology transfer, especially in the areas

of IT and logistics, the Ministry of Economics

is promoting the construction of a technology

and start-up centre on the campus grounds.

»

Dortmund is increasingly becoming a top address for

technology transfer in practice and shows what is possible

when innovative ideas from business and science come

together. «

North Rhine-Westphalia’s Economics and

Digital Minister Professor Dr. Andreas Pinkwart

presented Heike Marzen, Managing

Director of the City of Dortmund’s Economic

Development Agency, and Dirk Stürmer,

Managing Director of the TechnologieZentrumDortmund,

with a grant of around 6.9

million euros. The project, entitled “Transferinfrastruktur

Digital Hub Dortmund” (TDHD),

will create an innovative contact point for

start-ups and companies in logistics and

information technology to work on joint projects

and drive innovations forward. Leasing

of the space is to begin as early as 2024.

“North Rhine-Westphalia is not only the most

important logistics location in Germany, but

also a pacesetter for innovations that can

revolutionise the entire logistics industry.

Dortmund is increasingly becoming a top

address for technology transfer in practice

and shows what is possible when innovative

ideas from business and science come together.

I am convinced that the TDHD will provide

important impulses for start-ups, SMEs

and their supply chains far beyond the state

borders,” Professor Pinkwart makes clear.

“We are very pleased about the approval of the

funding from the state of North Rhine-Westphalia

for the construction of the TDHD. This

means that the financing of the project is secured

and we can begin with the construction of

the building,” says Heike Marzen, representative

of the City of Dortmund and Managing Director

of the Dortmund Economic Development Corporation.

The TDHD is an excellent instrument

for technology transfer, i.e. for the economic

utilisation of scientific results from the universities

and research institutes in the region.

“By establishing the TDHD as a business-oriented

infrastructure, the City of Dortmund

is creating future-proof jobs and improving

the framework conditions for start-ups

and small and medium-sized enterprises.

With the TDHD, we will also further expand

Dortmund’s strong position in the logistics

application area by intensifying digital

competencies,” continues Heike Marzen.

“The funding of the TDHD is a strong signal for

the further development of the TechnologieZentrumDortmund

(TZDO). The TZDO is already

the largest technology incubator in Germany

and is one of the leading technology and startup

centres in Europe,” emphasises Managing

Director Dirk Stürmer. “With the TDHD, we will

become an even more attractive address for

start-ups, entrepreneurs and technology-oriented

growth companies. Within the Science

and Technology Campus Dortmund, in the direct

vicinity of the Logistics Campus, the TDHD

will be a new building that supports and intensifies

the technology transfer of scientific

results,” he adds.

The TDHD is part of the “Digital Hub Logistik &

IT” project and has a total investment volume

of around 10.9 million euros. Covering a total of

3,000 square metres, it is intended to provide

ideal conditions for innovation partnerships

between start-ups and technology-oriented

companies.

37

MGZN

The project fits in with other initiatives of the

state government: With the European Blockchain

Institute, the practical application of

this technology in logistics is also being researched

in Dortmund. The goal is to develop

open source solutions and make them available

to the entire industry. Professor Dr. Dr. h.

c. Michael ten Hompel, Executive Director of

the Fraunhofer Institute for Material Flow and

Logistics, is also pleased about the TDHD: “It

is a great addition to our research network in

Dortmund and will move us forward as a science

location, especially for logistics.”

The funds for the construction of the Technology

and Start-up Centre come from the

federal-state joint expenditure “Improvement

of the Regional Economic Structure”. They are

intended to support balanced regional economic

development throughout NRW.

Another project is nearing completion these

days. The new “lighthouse”, a new office

building on Speicherstraße in the harbour, has

Thomas Westphal, Lord Mayor of the City of Dortmund

renowned Fraunhofer Institute for Software

and Systems Engineering ISST has dropped

anchor there. The institute conducts application-oriented

research on data platforms,

data spaces and data sovereignty.

In the new domicile at the harbour, the research

institute, which belongs to the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft,

has a commercial space

of around 3,340 square metres on a total of

six floors at its disposal. The Fraunhofer ISST

and Digitalhafen Speicherstraße form a perfect

symbiosis.

The topics and software products of the

Fraunhofer ISST fit perfectly with the development

of the Speicherstraße harbour quarter

into a digital harbour. For future spin-offs

from the institute, space is to be created in

the immediate vicinity in the foreseeable future.

The vision of a creative knowledge and

innovation quarter at the harbour is meeting

with great interest among investors and tenants.

The City of Dortmund plans to open up

further areas for this development this year

with the publication of the “nördliche Speicherstraße”

development plan.

Interview

Heike Marzen, Managing Director of

Wirtschaftsförderung Dortmund

Ms Marzen, you are the Managing Director

of the Dortmund Economic

Development Agency in the new “European

Innovation Capital”. Did the

award come as a surprise to Dortmund?

The award is a great recognition for the

positive development of the last decades,

of which we are very proud. Together

with many committed partners

from science, business, city society

and administration, we have built up a

sustainable innovation ecosystem. It is

therefore not surprising that Dortmund

is also perceived as innovative from the

outside.

In which sectors is Dortmund especially

innovative?

In addition to social and sustainable innovations,

many exciting technological

developments come from Dortmund.

The city has developed into a leading

digital location in recent years. The outstanding

research cluster, including TU

Dortmund University and the Fraunhofer

Institutes IML and ISST, has an

excellent international reputation and

is therefore a beacon for innovations in

logistics.

Why is logistics in Dortmund so particularly

strong?

Due to its excellent location, Dortmund

is one of the most important logistics

locations in Germany with over 900

resident companies. In order to remain

competitive, digital solutions are becoming

increasingly important for all

companies. This also requires opening

up innovation processes. In our application

for the European Innovation Capital,

we described these neighbourly cooperations

with “Innovation Next Door”.

»

What is the Wirtschaftsfördering Dortmund

doing in concrete terms to promote

logistical innovations in particular?

In order to further strengthen Dortmund’s

two areas of expertise, logistics

and IT, we are investing in the expansion

of state-of-the-art research and transfer

infrastructures at the TechnologiePark.

At the Digital Hub Logistics & IT, scientific

institutions, companies and innovative

start-ups will work under one roof

to drive innovation. With the DoAccelerate

programme, we bring Dortmund

companies together with international

start-ups in a targeted manner. We have

been doing this successfully on a regional

level for a very long time with our

partners such as the Digital Hub Logistics,

RuhrHUB and the CET.

Why do you think Dortmund and the

IFOY AWARD go so well together?

We were of course delighted that Dortmund

was chosen as the venue again

this year. We are already very well positioned

in logistics education and research.

With the plans for the Digital

Hub Logistics & IT, Dortmund is also

increasingly becoming a top address for

technology transfer in this area - from

science to business. In this respect, the

IFOY AWARD as the world’s most important

intralogistics award and Dortmund

simply match up well.

What topics has the Wirtschaftsförderung

Dortmund set itself for the

coming years?

One particular focus is certainly on the

development of the city centre. Dortmund

continues to be a popular and

attractive shopping city, but the Corona

pandemic and its effects have shown

that we want to broaden our focus and

Due to its excellent location, Dortmund is one of the

most important logistics locations in Germany, with over

900 resident companies. «

create more space for new ideas and

experiences. Furthermore, we want to

develop more attractive places to work.

This year, for example, the Digital Quarter

at the harbour is really taking shape.

In addition to leading institutes such as

the Fraunhofer ISST, start-ups and established

companies will come together

here.

HOW IFOY TESTS

Since 2013, products and solutions have been

competing for the IFOY AWARD. The categories

range from counterbalanced trucks and warehouse

technology equipment to AGVs, robots and software

for intralogistics. The path to an IFOY AWARD is

arduous indeed. In a multi-stage process, applicants

must first clear the nomination hurdle before they

are admitted to the IFOY TEST DAYS, which take

place at the Messe Dortmund exhibition centre.

There, the three-part IFOY Audit awaits the finalists.

highlight tour.

1. THE IFOY TEST

The audit starts with the practice-oriented IFOY

Test, conducted by Dutch trade journalist Theo

Egberts, who maintains the largest comparative

database of independent test data in Europe.

Regarded as the benchmark for industrial trucks,

the test compares the nominees with their relevant

competitors. The vehicles undergo individuallytailored

driving or functional tests, including the

IFOY Test protocol, which comprises around 80

criteria and includes, among other things

factors such as economy and energy efficiency,

sustainability, safety and ergonomics of the nominated

products and solutions.

VERDICT OF THE INNOVATION CHECK

As expected, the E5-25.4 NX features a solid yet high-quality

design that is fully up to the high demands placed on truckmounted

forklifts. The all-electric version can be compared with

other already electrified in-plant industrial trucks in terms of

operating comfort and control sensitivity. MOFFETT shows that

technical progress does not remain stagnant and once again

delivers a convincing candidate for the IFOY AWARD.

TEST REPORT. The MOFFETT E5-NX is

the world's first all-electric 4-way truckmounted

forklift. It is the bigger brother

of last year's IFOY winner. It is also the

first all-electric truck with what the

manu facturer calls a "moving mast".

The unique mast can be extended, making

it easier to load and unload trucks from

one side. In addition, this design makes it

extremely light. Extending the mast is much

faster than with comparable vehicles with

pantograph masts. Also, the speed at which

the mast is extended is adjustable by the

manufacturer. Nevertheless, this vehicle

also has a pantograph, namely on the fork

carriage. After the mast is extended, this

pantograph brings the fork carriage forward.

For loading and unloading loads at the far

end of the loading area, the test vehicle is

equipped with the optional Lift Assist. This

patented system tilts two armrests against

the side of the load floor. Especially when the

load's centre of gravity is further away from

the truck, Lift Assist helps prevent tipping.

Loads can be set down and picked up more

easily and safely at the far end of the load

floor. The reach is exactly the same as the

loading area of a truck. When handling loads

at this maximum distance of about 2.2 metres,

the residual capacity of the truck – thanks

to the special design – remains at 2.5 tonnes.

As there is no IFOY Test protocol for this

type of truck, this test report describes the

testers' impressions. For short: the test

team is impressed by the nomination. The

E5-NX makes a robust and solid impression,

although the legroom and the position of the

pedals deserve extra attention according to

the testers. When working, the advantages of

an all-electric truck quickly become clear.

The lack of a brake pedal (the vehicle brakes

exclusively via the motor) is not a problem

at all, as the brakes work as expected. The

braking force is even dependent on the

driving speed so that the driver does not

experience any surprises. For added safety,

the steering speed can also be adjusted.

Two other advantages stand out: the allelectric

truck-mounted forklift guarantees

quiet and emission-free operation. This

means that the forklift can be used indoors

without any problems, so that deliveries

from outdoors to indoors are also possible.

Thanks to its quiet operation, it can

be used in the early morning hours or at

night without disturbing the surroundings.

In addition, the operator does not need to

wear hearing protection and the operator is

generally more aware of their surroundings.

The 4-way concept in itself is not new and

enables smooth driving, even with long

loads and narrow passages. However, the

system has been further improved on this

truck. For example, the wheels are automatically

and electronically controlled into

the correct position. When driving sideways,

the acoustic reverse warning can also be

heard, which the testers found annoying.

The lithium-ion battery can be easily

recharged if necessary while driving to

the next delivery address. In many cases,

however, the minimum operating time of

six to eight hours is more than sufficient.

AUTOMATION IN

FOCUS

Name

IFOY Category

Jungheinrich, EKS 215a

AGV / AMR

Tin its class that has been

developed exclusively for automatic operation.

However, the truck is not completely helpless if

a malfunction should ever bring it to a halt: the

truck can be switched to manual operation with

an emergency control panel by means of a key

switch. In this way, all functions are basically

possible, only somewhat slower.

The test installation of the first "real" autonomous

high-lift truck from Jungheinrich in the

Dortmund exhibition hall is completed within a

few hours. The EKS 215a autonomous high-lift

truck, which is made to run without any problems,

can store and retrieve pallets up to 6 metres

with a residual load capacity of up to 700

kilograms. In the lower racking area, up to about

2 metres, the AGV can handle pallets or special

load carriers weighing 1,500 kilogrammes. As a

true autonomous truck, it is designed to be very

small: At 3.5 metres, it can be turned and the

he "a" in the product name of the

EKS 215a stands for autonomous.

As Jungheinrich states, its latest

AGV product, the high-lift AGV

EKS 215a, is the first autonomous

guided vehicle (AGV)

racking can be served from both sides. This makes

the self-supporting automatic order picker,

which went on sale at the end of 2021, small,

compact, fast and manoeuvrable.

If the vehicle, which is equipped with a mobile laser

personal protection scanner from Sick, does

not have a driving job and the lithium-ion battery

is not full, it is temporarily charged in real operation

- this is also possible by the minute, via

a green contact plate overhead. This option is

particularly interesting in work situations where

you don't know exactly when the truck will have

to drive the next time. The 24-volt concept with

automatic loading ensures efficient multi-shift

operation. The user-friendly touch display ensures

intuitive operation.

The AGV is controlled by a higher-level system:

depending on the connection to the customer's

warehouse management system (WMS) or as a

stand-alone system from Jungheinrich using

sensor-monitored bays. Then the charger

chases 300 amps into the battery. This way,

the battery is charged from 25 to 50 per cent in

about 10 minutes;

46

IFOY

MGZN

pushing it up to 80 percent takes about 30 minutes.

Without a connection to a customer WMS such as

SAP, the customer is provided with a user interface

with a drop-down menu from Jungheinrich. This interface

with a web browser is also available for mobile

phones or tablets. However, for product liability

reasons, the customer cannot program around in it.

In contrast to the reach truck, the EKS 215a with

its cantilever forks can also be used to approach

and automate stations that are not accessible

from below. The new truck masters the in-house

transport of loading aids in mixed operation with

manually controlled vehicles or persons with flying

colours thanks to its small footprint. Depending

on the application, a wide range of mast types is

available. By the way: the high-lift AGV can also be

easily connected to ERP systems via the Jungheinrich

logistics interface.


In addition to the combination of small size

and high performance data, the application

of the safety sensors, protected under the

vehicle, as well as the user-friendly

operating interface are to be assessed as

significant innovations. The EKS 215a

impresses with its very good quality

implementation. No experimental

compromises were made and the system is

based on proven components. Precise

positioning of the load at high lift heights is

ensured by the reflector scanner and is an

example of expected low-fault operation. A

worthy IFOY nomination that can count

itself among the best.

TEST REPORT. Until recently, you had to make a choice when

it came to ride-on pallet trucks: Either go for compact or go

for safe or go in the ergonomic direction. With the new ERD

220i, Jungheinrich puts an end to the dilemma of compromise.Thanks

to the integration of the lithium-ion batteries,

optionally one or two units with 130 Ah each, the need for a

separate battery box is eliminated. This results in a space

gain of 300 mm, which benefits the compact dimensions,

optimum operator protection and improved ergonomics.

The suspension of the standing platform

can be easily adjusted to the operator's

body weight via six switches. That makes

working noticeably more comfortably. The

working position is comfortable and the

operator feels much better protected than

with a classic pallet truck with a folding

platform. Comfort is also excellent, with

the possibility to lean against the side

wall on both sides. The handles provide

a good grip and control in any position.

Another innovation of the lift truck is the

smartPILOT tiller steering. The electric

steering is very intuitive and has a convenient

automatic centre position for

straight-line travel. The height is adjustable

in four positions and the fork and lift mast

are also easy to operate with one hand.

The new charging interface connects the

truck quickly and easily to an external

fast charger (up to 300 A). An integrated

charger (25 A) is available as an option,

offering flexibility at any 230 V socket.

A pallet truck with double-deck function is

making its debut in the IFOY Test, so there

is no comparison material, but the ERD 220i

moves all loads that are also used in regular

pallet truck tests easily and smoothly.

The IFOY test truck is an ERD 220i in the

drivePLUS version, and in its most powerful

mode (P3) it achieves 11.2 per cent higher

productivity than the test average in its class

for single handling - the second highest value

ever. Test consumption at 100 pallets is

35 per cent below the market average. With

the maximum battery capacity of 260 Ah, a

practical operating time of over eight hours is

possible. Longer working times are possible

thanks to the possibility of easy recharging.

In P2 and P1 working modes, productivity

remains high and consumption

drops even a little further.

TEST REPORT. The US provider Locus Robotics offers its autonomous

robots, which work collaboratively with warehouse staff, exclusively

in a packaged rental model. After the set-up with a one-time “start-up

fee“, a “core fleet“ is available to the customer for their tasks. This is

an average of between 45 and 50 vehicles per customer, with fluctuations

(rather) upwards and less downwards not excluded, of course.

The robot manufacturer from Wilmington in the Greater Boston

metropolitan region (Massachusetts/USA) has been active in Europe

since 2019. At the moment, Locus serves around 80 customers in

50

IFOY

MGZN

about 200 warehouses with its picking system. The

customers come not only from retail, but also from

pharmaceuticals and industry (ABB). Picking into the

45-kilogram moving robot is extremely easy: the

type and quantity of the products to be picked at the

location and placed into the small load carrier on the

Locus robot are very clearly displayed on the clear

touchscreen. Picked, confirmed, and the journey continues.

The tester has never found this so easy, intuitive

and without a single second of “learning the ropes“.

The peak season for Locus is November/December,

because the Christmas business easily burdens

retailers with four to five times as much picking work

as during the year. According to a survey by Material

Handling Industry (MHI) and Deloitte, 56 percent of

respondents have “extreme problems“ finding suitable

staff. No wonder: up to now, about 40 to 60 per

cent in the warehouse are determined by walking,

with an average age in Germany of 40 to 55 years.

Locus solves this problem pragmatically and effectively

by separating the employees from the picking

trolleys: the work comes to the pickers, i.e. a classic

goods-to-person principle. However, not stoically

standing only at a fixed workstation, but “flowing“ in a

certain area, which normally, however, does not go beyond

the warehouse aisle. This not only saves a lot of

energy, but also makes the work far more effective and

productive than picking along. Locus does not replace

the customer‘s inventory management system, but

obtains its information about the product and the number

of units to be picked from it. The Locus software

clusters the orders for the optimal picking route – of

the roving units, mind you, not of the individual pickers

- and which orders are connected on a container. In the

field, the system works with high-quality Lidar sensors

(“Light Detection and Ranging“). Irrespective of the time

saved by short distances for the pickers: the picking

system also increases productivity by the fact that the

human at a single picking position, for example, spends

only 8 instead of 12 seconds - that adds up. When picking,

both hands are free for the products to be picked.

If necessary, a seasonal fleet can easily be added

to the core fleet mentioned at the beginning, for

example for two to three months for the Christmas

business. The robots themselves are produced

between May and November and are maintained

quickly and leanly. A total of around 8,000 of these

robots are currently in use, 2,000 of them in Europe.

When the going gets tough, 100 to 500 of

the robots can easily be produced – per week.


Locus‘ extraordinary AMR solution is an excellent

response to current market demands.

Testreport. The Munich-based robotics

company robominds, founded in

2016, has reached the IFOY AWARD final

with its neural robot operating system

„robobrain.NEUROS“. Different skills can

be uploaded to the software platform, for

example a palletising application for Intralogistics.

One platform, many applications,

independent of components – this

is how robominds comes to Dortmund.

Optimised for the industrial PC robobrain and as a platform for all

robots, grippers and other kinematics, NEUROS (Neural Robotic Operating

System) creates an automation environment that is user-centric

and easy to operate – for scenarios of any industry

and company size. On the industrialised operating system,

every function of the robotic components becomes a skill.

The modular principle applies to both the software and the

hardware. One skill, for example, is order picking. Several

applications can be shown in the test setup: Palletising, box

recognition, etc. One does not see oneself as a system integrator,

but as a problem solver. So the focus is not on the

gripper itself, but always on the application. The skills, in turn,

are easy to obtain: via the robominds Skill Store, individually

adaptable or to develop yourself thanks to the robominds Skill

Software Development Kit (SDK). There are vision skills (such

as item picking or bin picking), control skills for the simple programming

of robots or the fleet management of several robot

cells, or driver skills for various robots, grippers, cameras, etc.

In times of shorter product life cycles and production quantities up to batch size

1, flexible processes place ever new demands on production and material

flow for all companies. That‘s why the processes are always

coming to the fore – the process is actually the core of modern

production. And this is where robobrain.NEUROS comes into

the game: Valuable process knowledge becomes more easily

accessible through the robot operating system. At the same

time, data security, data integrity and trusted AI are maintained

through adherence to European standards, which is essential in

the digital world and especially in the production environment.

“To the point: user-centric

and easy to use.”

The transformation towards adaptive processes affects just about all processes

in the production of a material or goods flow. In robotics in particular, the

potential for flexible applications is being exploited, which are thus becoming

increasingly diversified and finding their way into different environments and

applications. Especially the new fields of robotics, for example logistics or

medicine, are growing the fastest - and so is the market potential for NEUROS.

robobrain.NEUROS is already being used by corporations in various industries,

especially in the automotive industry, pharmaceuticals and diagnostics, and

intralogistics.


The market relevance of a manufacturer-neutral and reliable robotics operating

system with native support for AI-based processes can be classified as very

high. Reusable robot skills, the possibility of using data and experience

across manufacturer boundaries, and Trusted AI

from Germany offer customers innovative

added value. Even if not all ideas are

entirely new, their high-quality implementation

in NEUROS represents a new

level.

Pallet Identification in the warehouse

Learning as a Principle

TEST REPORT. Is it a Euro, a Chep, a UIC or perhaps a completely

different pallet? Wrong deposit pallets, which are wrongly regarded

as "real" deposit pallets at goods receipt and are accepted without

complaint, cost companies thousands of euros every year.

The PACS application from SICK now wants to put an end to this by

enabling the automatic deposit of different pallet types. The aim

is to provide companies from industry and trade with full transparency

in goods receiving and consequently in the flow of goods.

With an estimated 500 million Euro pallets in circulation, not to mention

the other types, the savings potential through PACS is in the tens of

millions. But also companies that regularly use, for example, pallet cages

spectrum: retail, freight forwarding, automotive, mechanical engineering

and many other industries.

PACS – this acronym stands for "Pallet

Classification System", i.e. a recognition

system that uses images to identify the type

of pallet. Four pictures of the pallet feet are

necessary for this, the fifth picture is taken

from above and shows what is on the pallet.

The whole thing is usually integrated into

the stationary conveyor system directly in

the goods receiving area; for the test setup

in Dortmund, a SICK employee still had to

manually feed the incoming pallet onto

the camera technology for demonstration

purposes. The aim is to provide companies

from industry and trade with full transparency

in goods receiving and consequently

in the flow of goods. Until now, employees

had to manually determine whether a pallet

was "good" or "bad" when it entered the

factory gate – an additional task that was

error-prone and resource-intensive. With

the PACS deep-learning pallet identification

system, customers are given the opportunity

to automate this process on the basis of a

modular system of hardware and software.

The financial aspect is the direct benefit

of this classification system. But there is

also an indirect effect, in fact several, that

make this solution so interesting. Because

incorrect pallets in the system also lead to

damage and expensive downtimes of the

conveyor system more often than average.

Another, even more valuable aspect is more

transparent processes by connecting the

goods to the load carrier. And finally, no

specialised personnel is required to operate

the PACS system. How does PACS work?

The hardware of the system consists of one

or more cameras with which the images

for the system are taken, a light barrier

arrangement for triggering and a controller

for processing the recorded data and for

executing the trained neural network. Even

without in-depth knowledge of programming

or machine learning, the software

tools SICK Appspace and dStudio enable

image recording, training, classification

and execution of the trained network.

Optionally, even further SICK sensors

can be integrated, which can take over

additional tasks. No programming knowledge

is required because the system

learns from concrete examples.

SSI SCHÄFER, IKEA Project Flat Pack Picking

Integrated Warehouse Solution

12,000 stock keeping units (SKUs) located in the distribution centre

(DC), about ten per cent, i.e. 1,200, can be handled fully automatically.

These are usually the so-called “fast-moving items”.

IKEA operates Germany’s largest customer order distribution

centre in Dortmund. Together with its long-standing partner

SSI Schäfer, IKEA has successfully relieved its employees of

heavy physical work. Heavy and large items are palletised in

a volume-optimised manner with the help of the new picking

module from SSI Schäfer, employees are freed from unergonomic

work. At the same time, optimal packing patterns for

the order pallets are automatically generated.

How does Flat Pack Picking work in use at IKEA? The

introduction of this sustainable, innovative picking concept

from SSI Schäfer in Germany’s largest IKEA distribution centre was

preceded by a concept study and proof-of-concept starting in 2017.

By means of a test installation and subsequent simulation, IKEA put

SSI Schäfer’s flat-pack picking system, implemented for the first

time at the Dortmund site, through its paces – and found it to be

good. The go-live started in April 2021. Both the heterogeneous range

of articles and the large proportion of heavy and bulky articles were

a particular challenge here. It turned out that of the approximately

The goal of the four gantry robots used, which are supported by

two small gantry robots outside the actual picking area, was to

relieve the employees of heavy tasks by means of automated gantry

picking. One of the four gantry robots, with its 16 suction cups

that grip the packaged goods from above and the cameras at the

four corners, has a theoretical (technical) picking performance of

70 to 80 picks per hour. This makes the four robots the fastest link

in the entire system. Together, the four gantry robots can handle

a maximum of 312 picks; in real operation, they currently handle

a good 200 picks per hour. Intermediate layers on the individual

packages that get in the way of the fast lifting and transporting

process of the packages are reliably detected and removed.

The turnkey, scalable order-picking solution basically consists

of three areas: the left-hand part of the system for the dynamic

provision of the slower-moving furniture packages, the actual

picking area in the middle where the four “ro-ber” gantry robots do

their work and to which no human has access, unfortunately not

even for testing purposes, and the right-hand part of the system

56

IFOY

MGZN


for the static provision of the fast-moving items. The gantry robots

are equipped with multifunctional grippers that automatically

adapt to the dimensions of the articles to be picked and the type

of packaging by means of servomotor-adjustable suction cups.

Packages of goods up to 2.5 metres in length and weighing over

60 kilograms are safely picked up from the source pallet and

transferred to the order pallet. SSI Schäfer‘s Pack Pattern Generator

ensures that the requested items are optimally arranged

on the order pallet and can be picked up for the customer order.

Market relevance

The challenge of picking large and at the same time carton-packed

packages has long been known in logistics. As a rule, teams of two

order pickers or one order picker with a mechanical lifting aid, such

as a balancer, must be used for this. The solution presented is very

attractive for this market segment. However, an essential

prerequisite for successful use is reliable and stable carton

packaging to implement the gripping process with vacuum suction

pads.

Customer benefit

If the aforementioned prerequisite is fulfilled, the solution offers

both an ergonomic benefit through the relief of the employees and

a benefit through the automatic provision of the article pallets for

picking. The latter function reduces the load on the supply

warehouse for order picking, as the article pallets are held in the

staging area for flat pack picking according to their access

frequency and are made available for access at the exact time.

Together with the precisely specified stacking sequence and the

automated movement of the customer order pallet through the

picking system, this results in a stable and reliable build-up of the

load.

Degree of innovation

The well-known picking task of flat pack picking has never before

been implemented so consistently and efficiently in an automated

system. The clever design of the material flow of the article pallets

combined with the flexible gripping technology for handling the

carton-packed parcels account for the high degree of innovation,

which has not been achieved before.

Quality of implementation

The functions are very well and appropriately designed for the

application at IKEA. According to the information provided by the

developer SSI SCHÄFER and the user IKEA, the limitation of the

achievable throughput does not result from the robots with their

grippers but from the capacities for cross-distribution of the

customer order pallets and the article pallets with distribution

trolleys. For a general use case, there is therefore still potential to

make the function more adaptable for different order compositions.

TEST REPORT. With the Descent Speed Regulation, DSR for short,

STILL introduces a unique assistance system for trucks and tuggers

that facilitates safe driving on ramps even with heavy trailer

loads. The system monitors and regulates the speed of the vehicle

– manually or automatically, depending on the configuration. There

are three different versions: DSR Basic, DSR Eco and DSR Premium.

With DSR Basic, the driver activates the system manually via

the STILL Easy Control operating unit. When activated, a preset

maximum speed is maintained, even when driving downhill.

The hydraulic service brake is actively activated as soon

as the vehicle threat ens to go too fast when going downhill.

Even if the driver does not depress the brake pedal, the vehicle

brakes. DSR Eco goes one step further. In this version,

the programme does not have to be activated manually, but

is always on stand-by in the background. It is activated automatically

when an angle of inclination is detected.

The slope and load are calculated by evaluating the speeds

and torques of the drive units and the data from an acceleration

and speed sensor. With DSR Eco, a slope indicator

is constantly shown on the display. If an incline is detected,

the speed is automatically limited to a preset value.

The luxury version, DSR Premium, was nominated for the

IFOY AWARD. Here, in addition to DSR Eco, a load evaluation

is also carried out and shown on the display. With DSR Premium,

the vehicle regulates its speed when driving downhill

depending on the gradient and the load being towed.

The speed is therefore not reduced to a predefined

value, but optimally adapted to the respective situation.

In this way, the vehicle always achieves the best

possible performance with maximum safety.

the front axle is designed as a brake-by-wire system. The

brake demand is registered via a potentiometer on the

brake pedal, whereupon the braking process is initiated

hydraulically via an electric pressure-reducing valve.

The electrical control of this pressure valve makes it possible

to brake very precisely and also to actively intervene

in the service brake. Thanks to this technical concept, the

DSR system can regulate the speed when driving downhill

- even without active intervention by the driver.

DSR reduces the need for the driver to apply the brakes and thus

the risk of overheating. In addition, the system monitors driving

behaviour, which significantly reduces the risk of unsafe situations.


The product DSR provides an innovative solution to avoid accidents

by determining the actual towing weight and the actual inclination

of the driving path. It is not relevant for all users, but helps safely

and well on existing downhill stretches.

STILL, Automated Warehouse Extension

at Hase Safety Gloves

Integrated Warehouse Solution

W

ith the help of STILL, Hase Safety Gloves has

expanded the system of its automated warehouse

and made the processes more efficient

- during ongoing operations. Although four to

five jobs were replaced by automating the system,

15 new jobs were created at the same time by expanding the

warehouse by 200 per cent.80 employees, 70 of them at the headquarters

in Jever, take care of incoming and outgoing work safety

clothing at Hase Safety Gloves, which mainly arrives by container

from the Far East. Of the 12,000 square metres of warehouse space

at Hase, around 7,000 square metres alone are now automated, and

of the total 13,000 storage spaces in the warehouse,

just under 7,000 spaces

can be attributed

to automation. A 10,000 square

metre photovoltaic system on the roof is also used

to charge the forklifts used in the warehouse. Speaking of forklifts:

Hase successfully operates according to the “ mixed operations“

principle: Forklifts and staff can meet each other, and the use of protective

fences has been deliberately dispensed with. When employees

place a filled pallet on a place in the staging lane after goods receipt,

this simultaneously means a transport order for a still unit – it

goes off to the warehouse or cross-docking directly to goods issue.

At Hase, there is automatic whole stock removal, but also manual

order picking. Until this happens, the pallet first goes through

a so-called contour check: a gate with a laser curtain that eliminates

tolerances of the pallet so that the automatic warehouse

does not store a “brake block“ – otherwise the system stops. If an

error is detected, the pallet is immediately forwarded to the “not

right” location and the problem is eliminated. Hase uses three automated

MX-X narrow-aisle stackers and six EXV-SF high-lift trucks

of the latest generation, all of which are equipped with Still‘s iGo

Systems automation kit. The EXVs pick up the sorted

palletised goods at the goods-in location

and take them to the transfer rack in the narrow-aisle

warehouse, where they are picked up

“Hase has certainly

achieved its goal to a

very high degree“

by one of the automated MX-X units and stored

in the assigned bin location. For retrieval, this

process happens in reverse order. Once the AGVs have

done their work, they automatically move to their waiting position.

A novelty for Hase: a changeover aisle in the middle of the system,

which, together with a spray wall, replaces the otherwise

necessary firewall, enables the forklifts to move simultaneously

from one racking aisle to another without having

to return to the beginning of the racking. In the manual area,

60

IFOY

MGZN

the forklifts always run in single-shift operation. Overnight, they are then autonomously

recharged according to the “opportunity charging“ principle, using lead-acid

batteries, which are more economical than lithium-ion batteries in this application.

The racking aisles at Hase can be much narrower than is normally the case: compared to

the use of high-rack forklifts with swivel reach forks, the MX-Xs equipped with telescopic

forks require significantly less space, which has a beneficial effect on storage density and

capacity.

Because the overseas containers from Bremerhaven are not only delivered during the day,

but also in the evening, it is an advantage for Hase that with the reorganisation of the automatic

warehouse, goods can now be stored automatically in the evening hours or at night

without the need for personnel. This means that the existing single-shift operation can

continue to be maintained.


Market relevance

The expansion of existing warehouse locations is a frequent case in practice. Changes in the

company‘s own products or production processes, but perhaps even more so the changed

behaviour of customers with a focus on product availability and short-term delivery, often

make changes necessary. Both the structure and the processes can be affected by changes.

The example at the Hase company shows a special case, as the possibilities for

adjustments in the layout were very much limited by the available floor space for

extensions. In addition, the owner put the unconditional will to automate first,

whereas the economic efficiency of an application is the highest priority for most

users. For the above reasons, the market relevance can therefore be rated as

good, as the solution cannot be transferred to most extension cases without

restrictions.

Customer benefit

Measured against its own objectives, the customer Hase has certainly

achieved its goals to a high degree. With regard to the general case,

however, a limitation to a good customer benefit results from the

previously mentioned reasons.


The specific expansion of the warehouse at Hase is well solved and

the implementation with state-of-the-art vehicles is also at the

current level of available technologies. The innovation results from

the appropriate combination of the known well-functioning trades

in a very limited environment. However, similar solutions could

be achieved before with available equipment.

Quality of implementation

The many limitations of the extension in the existing building

were well taken into account in the realisation of the

solution. The solution offers many functions for the

operator and provides him with alternative uses of the

vehicles as redundancy or to absorb power peaks.

Robot

TEST REPORT. The manufacturer stow robotics

is coming to the IFOY TEST DAYS in Dortmund

with a demo system of a classic goods-to-person

shuttle system that has been transported

in one piece from the truck to the test hall. The

only moving part in the storage and order-picking

system is the shuttle, which runs on rails

and is called "Robot" at stow. Otherwise, the

customer gets pure redundancy. The strength

of e.scala lies where the entry into automation

is concerned.

The USP of the installation is the fact that the

complete system consists of only 15 different

parts. However, only the "exciting" warehouse

pre-zone is shown, with three lines to reach four

levels in the warehouse.

How the system works is also reflected in the

product name: The "e" comes from escalator.

And the "scala" is meant to demonstrate the

scalability. And something else very special is

immediately noticeable: The entire installation

does without a vertical lift: The individual aisles

are accessed via inclined ramps, which considerably

reduces the susceptibility to errors. The

module at which the robot can change

the direction of travel in order to move the goods

to be transported into or out of the warehouse

and, with or without the goods to be transported,

to change levels, is called the "connector".

In principle, the system resembles a multistorey

car park, although the actual order system

is usually located outside the warehouse.

The manufacturer places the highest value on

the redundancy of the system: the only thing

that can break, according to the manufacturer,

is the robot. But it does not block the entire system.

The manufacturer stow uses the 200-yearold

concept of the railway. The transport robot

has eight wheels: four for travelling in the X direction,

the other four move the robot in the Y

direction after the wheel change.

Basically, the entire setup only needs electricity

twice: once for the charging station where the

individual robots can charge their power caps

– with a charging time of eight seconds, by the

way, they drive around for about twelve minutes

– and once for the WiFi robot communication

with the warehouse management system. This

also means that there is no cable in the entire

pre-zone.

62

IFOY

MGZN

The individual modules of the e.scala system are

5.0 metres x 2.5 metres in size and are scalable.

The system can easily handle a total height of

24 metres. The Stow Traffic Control (STC) knows

when the robot drives over the passive RFID tags

installed in the respective section of the route.

Some would call it a material flow system, others

a warehouse control system.

e.scala is basically designed for use in small and

medium-sized installations with a focus on applications

in e-commerce, production supply and

micro-fulfilment solutions. Because the system

is standardised to a high degree, even small requirements

from 500 storage locations to be automated

can be well served with it.

The 15 basic components of the system as well

as the robot can be delivered directly from stock.

The advantage: a complete system can be planned

and realised within a very short time. Even in

the event of a robot breakdown, the availability of

the entire plant is extraordinarily high, because

accessibility to each location is ensured at all

times via multiple paths.


The specific customer benefit of e.scala is

primarily for small and medium-sized

systems that are to be realised quickly and

cost-effectively due to the simplicity and

standardisation of the solution. The system

is technically simple and solidly

constructed and impresses with its

flexibility in the choice between storage

density and performance as well as with

the comparably high redundancy even in

the event of failure of individual robot units.

SYNAOS, SYNAOS IMS – Vehicle Localization

Special of the Year

Test report: What is the aim of all the digitalisation if there are always “blind spots”

in the company? One such blind spot is the fact that most of the forklift trucks

that drive around in companies are still controlled manually and are therefore

only rudimentarily digitised, if at all. With the SYNAOS IMS – Vehicle Localization

system, a camera-based sensor kit ensures their cost-efficient localisation

– using state-of-the-art computer vision technology.

SYNAOS is a software company, but it decided to build a bit of hardware. A small

black box (19 x 12 x 6 centimetres) was exhibited at the demo set-up in Hall 3 in Dortmund.

It was attached to a child-sized forklift and projects its images onto a screen. The manufacturer

has dedicated itself to eliminating the gaps in the localisation of manually

controlled industrial trucks of all kinds: So it’s all about the indoor localisation of

industrial trucks. 95 percent of companies have forklifts in use, but they are

rarely well integrated into the value chain: Currently, only the transport order

is digital; the forklifts themselves are not digitalised. As a result, there

is no knowledge of where a forklift is. There are forklift localisation

technologies, but they are often not used. There is a good reason

for this: ultra-wideband or lidar technologies are simply

too expensive. Speaking of lidar: the system is already

too accurate, overkill, like shooting at sparrows with

cannons.

With the new system from SYNAOS, which

works with so-called “markers“, a Localisation-as-a-Service

SYNAOS in the long term. Customer benefits are

high due to better order status information,

statistics and optimised traffic flow. The novelty

level of the reliably and robustly implemented

plug&play system is given in logistics.

tres. So it‘s not just about the “little box“ on the test set. For 1,980 euros

a year per truck, that would be a relatively low cost for admittedly standardised

electronic components that can easily be bought at electronics

stores: But the intelligence is in the software – plug and play.

You can create transparency in a flash with SYNAOS IMS – Vehicle Localization.

Where in the warehouse is a busy situation? What are the braking

distances? Where are people driving around without a driving order? Even

the truck that is always running late can now finally be pointed out. In

short: you can observe the fleet utilisation exactly. And a very big USP

compared to the conventional storage method is that the forklift only reports

the position where it has driven a pallet; scanning the pallet or the

products on it is no longer necessary.

SYNAOS expects CE certification in a few weeks. The already mentioned

indoor accuracy of 25 centimetres is achieved with markers every 100

metres. The “little black box“ operates with a power consumption

of 7 watts and transmits its camera data – 15 images per second

– via WiFi for evaluation using computer vision algorithms.

Apart from an acceleration sensor, no other

input sources are required. In times of increasingly

important cybersecurity, this is perhaps

not entirely unimportant: the entire image

processing of the system takes place

locally on the embedded computer;

no sensitive data need to

be transferred to a cloud.

After the camera‘s image

data has been

processed, it is

immediately

discarded.

The IFOY AWARD has been giving start-ups a

chance since 2019. This year, three newcomers

are competing for the attention

of the international jury.

BY STEFANIE NONNENMANN

The “Start-up of the Year“

category, which has

been part of the IFOY

AWARD since 2019, has

already proven to be a

springboard for newly

founded companies

several times in the

past. Not only winning

the title, but also successfully

reaching the

finals and passing the three-stage IFOY audit

ensure that Intralogistics newbies can showcase

the special qualities of their product and

achieve international recognition.

In order to stand a chance in the category,

however, companies must fulfil numerous

conditions: they must have been in existence

for no longer than three years at the time of

application, employ no more than 30 people

and have an annual turnover of no more than

five million euros. The most important criterion,

however, is the most difficult entry hurdle

for many: Those who want to win an IFOY

AWARD must be able to present a functional

prototype – and thus much more than a formulated

concept on a piece of paper. Among

all entries, only three companies managed to

convince the jury with their performance for a

nomination this year.

Whether innovative solutions for urban

logistics, a novel technology for the electrification

of industrial floors or the world‘s

only traffic and order management software

for all participants in intralogistics: this year

Noyes Technologies, Magment and NAiSE

made it to the final round in the race for the

IFOY AWARD, also known as the “Oscars of

Intralogistics“. But even those who are new

to the market are not spared the rigours of

the multi-stage test procedure. The three

start-up companies also underwent intensive

tests in Dortmund, presented themselves to

the scientists at the innovation check – and in

the end to the critical eyes of the international

jury of trade journalists, who did not miss

even the smallest detail of the innovation.

One important IFOY principle is in place in the

start-up category, too: Who makes the race

remains a secret until the award ceremony.

But even those who do not come out on top in

the end can be sure of a of strong worldwide

recognition in the future.

On the following pages we present the three

finalists of the category “Start-up of the Year“

in detail.

MAGMENT

Dynamic Wireless Charging: The

start-up from Oberhaching uses

magnetic concrete to charge

AGVs.

The start-up Magment

from Oberhaching near

Munich is reinventing

the charging of electric

buses, electric forklifts

and other vehicles with

the help of innovative

technology. Not without

reason is the company

motto: “Charge where

you go and not go

where you can charge!” The technical highlight

of the solution is fascinating: magnetic

concrete is used to charge the e-vehicles.

The first two partners with which Magment

wants to implement the dynamic charging of

Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) in cooperation

are Jungheinrich and DHL at its site in

Hamburg. The rationale behind the solution:

the more inductive charging is achieved when

driving over concrete, the fewer batteries and

vehicles are needed. Currently, each vehicle

has to be charged for at least two to three

hours over the course of 24 hours. Electrification

of industrial floors with dynamic

wireless charging, on the other hand, reduces

or completely eliminates these charging

pauses. The interesting effect: electric fleets

in the Intralogistics sector and also battery

capacities can be reduced and the capital

»

The dynamic charging system has clear

advantages for a harmonised overall system. Charging

times during which the vehicles are not available are

avoided, which means that the number of vehicles can

be reduced. «

expenditure for longer-term assets such as

these vehicles can be significantly reduced.

During the IFOY TEST DAYS, Magment

impressed the IFOY Innovation Checkers

primarily due to the high degree of innovation

of the system presented on site. The system

is an excellent implementation of physical

principles and the magnetisable concrete

with ferromagnetic components ensures an

almost constant charging current along the

charging plate. This is undoubtedly a new

technology and, together with the robust

integration in industrial floors, “a useful innovation“.




Innovation is a top priority at Magment. In the right field of application, this is a

promising technology that fits in perfectly with the IFOY AWARD.

NAiSE

NAiSE TRAFFIC takes over the

traffic and order management

for all in the hall.

NAiSE TRAFFIC from

the Stuttgart-based

start-up NAiSE is the

world‘s only software

for traffic and order

management that

includes all participants

in the intralogistics

process. The

patented Real-Time

Localisation System

(RTLS) network takes into account all “traffic

participants“ in traffic control and guarantees

a safe and efficient material flow in logistics

and production. Whether robots, people, forklifts

or pallet trucks: The NAiSE solution takes

them all into control.

»

The benefit for the user results from the ability to

use different vehicle systems, whether manually guided,

classically automated or autonomously controlled,

on mixed-use routes. «

But how exactly does the guidance system

work? In the self-developed, patented localisation

network NAiSE RTLS, radio sensors in

the hall infrastructure enable precise localisation

and near-real-time communication

of and between the traffic participants. Ultra-wideband

technology (UWB) is used here,

with the help of which objects can be located

robustly and reliably even in difficult industrial

environments. The system is already in

use at Continental in Ingolstadt, for example.

According to the company, this has increased


Even against the background of VDA 5050, both the market relevance and the

customer benefit are to be rated as high. The technologies used and the

innovation, together with the implementation, can be described as good.


the flow of materials by 30 per cent.

According to the IFOY Innovation Checker,

users of NAiSE TRAFFIC can avoid conflicts

during vehicle operation even with little

effort. In particular, they believe that NAiSE

TRAFFIC can reliably prevent unsolvable

mutual obstructions, so-called blockages

at intersections and at pick-up or drop-off

points. Another attractive feature is the

consistent independence from individual

suppliers. In combination with its own UWB

localisation system, a degree of novelty is

achieved, as any vehicles and persons can be

localised, provided they are each equipped

with a UWB device.

Noyes

Technologies

Noyes Storage is the first robotic,

automated nano-logistics

system.

Customer behaviour

in the food sector is

more dynamic and

volatile today than

ever before. Providers

of logistics systems in

urban areas are faced

with the challenge of

expensive city centre

rents, high labour costs

and the desire of end

»

customers to receive their orders preferably

immediately. This calls for fast systems that

must generate little noise. For this purpose,

Noyes Technologies offers the first robotically

operated, ultra-dense, automated and highly

flexible nano-logistics system, especially for

urban logistics.

With its storage technology, Noyes can

automate even the smallest areas and

consequently enables fast delivery times

The solution shown was technically convincing, can

be set up by laymen, is implemented redundantly and,

due to the simplicity of the chassis kinematics and

the navigation solution, a long service life and robustness

of the robots can be expected. «


Noyes nano warehouses can offer economic automation from a footprint of 10

square metres, which is a novelty in the field of micro warehouses, together with

other innovations such as highest storage density.

at an affordable price. The plug-and-play

Noyes Storage system works with modules of

500 millimetres x 700 millimetres. A set-up

time of only ten minutes is calculated for

each module, and this can be done at the

customer‘s premises during operation. One

carrier can hold up to eight boxes. The first 70

storages with 1,000 to 1,500 modules will be

sold by the end of 2022. The highlight: modules

with cooling are also to be integrated by

the end of 2022.

Another development step at Noyes is to

have a robot take care of manual picks up

to a height of three metres. The ultra-dense

urban nano warehouse is especially designed

to meet the needs of companies for proximity

to their customers. In the nano-fulfilment

hub, for example, end customers in urban

areas can pick up their product themselves

around the clock. Alternatively, last-mile delivery

providers bring the products directly to

the end customer‘s home by bicycle or e-bike

in a sustainable and emission-free manner.

With a ROI of twelve to 16 months – depending

on whether with or without a cooling solution

– the acquisition of NoyesStorage pays

off relatively quickly. The solution is also

extremely interesting for smaller budgets

THE

IFOY

TESTERS

When they enter the test hall, it gets quiet at

the finalists' booths. The IFOY AWARD testers

are feared, because their judgment counts.

and material handling

specialists at the Chair of Technical

Logistics at TU Dresden:

Prof. Dr. Thorsten Schmidt (top) ...

BY ANITA WÜRMSER

Is it a real innovation or a successful

development? How do the performance

values compare to the

competition? What about customer

benefits, manufacturing details and

features? Nowhere is there more

testing and inspecting than at the

IFOY AWARD. Those nominated for

the final must undergo a three-stage

audit. The results give the jurors important

clues for their vote.

... and Martin Anders.

This year, four logistics scientists and the

two IFOY testers put the finalists through

their paces in Hall 3 of IFOY partner Messe

Dortmund. In total, the experts inspected

and tested 14 products and solutions

from 12 manufacturers over six days.

Part 1 of the IFOY Audit was the practice-oriented

IFOY Test by Dutch trade journalist

Theo Egberts. It measures the hard facts

and compares them with the relevant competitive

products. The vehicles undergo individually

tailored driving or functional tests,

including the IFOY Test protocol comprising

around 80 criteria, which determines,

among other things, the economy and energy

efficiency, sustainability, safety and

ergonomics of the equipment. In the software

and automation categories as well as

in the warehouse solutions, IFOY juror Bernd

Maienschein scrutinis es the finalists and

compiles a test report in each case.

The second part of the IFOY Audit is the scientific

innovation check. It is conducted by

the Dortmund Fraunhofer Institute for Material

Flow and Logistics (IML), the Stuttgart-based

Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing

Engineering and Automation (IPA)

and the Chair of Technical Logistics at the

University of Dresden.

The IFOY Innovation Check team checked

the nominees on the spot in the hall in

terms of market relevance, customer benefits,

type of execution and degree of innovation.

In addition, the scientists verified the

innovations stated by the manufacturers

and evaluate in a technology comparison

whether they are innovative further developments,

successful new developments

or genuine innovations. A five-point rating

scale is used as a guide: "non-existent,"

"less," "balanced," "good" and "very good".

solutions can apply for an IFOY AWARD.

Anyone who wants to take part must

first register an application at www.ifoy.

org. This requires contact details as well

as the type and name of the product or

solution. This registration is necessary because

an individual input mask is created

for each application, in which the required

data can be entered individually.

When registering an application, one

has the choice of specifying one or more

categories. In the case of a nomination,

the IFOY organisation decides on

the final assignment to a category.

At the latest 24 hours after the application

registration, the access data to the

entry form will be sent by e-mail, and you

can start.

Important:

Once an application

has been submitted, it cannot be withdrawn

by the applicant. Only the jury can

withdraw a nomination in exceptional

cases and upon request if there are

serious reasons. These include insolvency

of the applicant, patent disputes, quality

problems or inability to deliver.

While entering data, applicants can

already see how their application looks

in the front end of the website. This view

is later made available to the jury and is

in the event

of a nomination. The application

form is kept short and the text input is

limited. An application must be entered in

German and also in English. Essentially,

the following contents are the main focus

of an application:

Striking headline

Meaningful summary

Clear description of the innovation and

the customer benefits

Technical data, videos and images

In the case of a solution, a case study

with a maximum of 7,000 characters is

required.

It is advisable to answer the questions as

briefly, comprehensibly and strikingly as

possible. It is not important that a lot of

text is written. On the contrary, it is crucial

that the texts are clearly structured,

for example by points, and that the jury

recognises the innovation and its value

for the users at first glance.

IFOY Audit

TEST CAMP

Intralogistics

(March/April)

The IFOY TEST

DAYS with the IFOY Audit will again

take place within the framework of

the TEST CAMP INTRALOGISTICS in

Dortmund. For the first time since

IFOY AUDIT

All nominated equipment and all

nominated devices and solutions

have to undergo the IFOY

Audit as part of the IFOY TEST

DAYS. It consists of the

IFOY Test, the scientific

innovation check and

the jury test. The

devices and

solutions

undergo

various

assessments and driving or

functional tests, including the IFOY

Test protocol comprising around 80

criteria. The decisive factor is that

the nominees are not compared with

each other, but with their competitor

devices on the market.

Besides the testers, the judges –

all well-known trade editors from

leading logistics media around the

world – and their advisors will travel

to test the equipment and solutions

themselves.

All finalists who pass the IFOY Audit

receive the Best-in-Intralogistics

certificate at an on-site award

ceremony, along with a communications

package consisting of a press

release and certificate, e-mail binder

and graphic files for embedding the

certificate in documents.

If a nominee does not show up for

the audit, the device or solution

will be disqualified.

TEST CAMP INTRALOGISTICS

"SPOT ON INNOVATION": This is not only

the focus of the IFOY AWARD, but also of

the TEST CAMP INTRALOGISTICS, which is

taking place for the third time in Dortmund.

Be it driving a forklift, operating warehouse

technology, comparing AMRs, trying

out software, interacting with robots – at

TEST CAMP INTRALOGISTICS, trade visitors

have the chance for hands-on testing of

innovations. VIP guests from industry, trade

and logistics services can thus experience

selected innovations live and get an idea

of their practicability before making a purchase

decision and gain a practice-oriented

market overview in terms of future technologies.

IFOY nominees are automatically

accepted as exhibitors at TEST CAMP; all

other exhibitors must pass an innovation

screening to ensure that only innovative

products are on display.

The programme at TEST CAMP is varied:

IFOY Tests, IFOY Innovation Checks, jury

sessions and numerous consultations,

B2B highlight tours, driving tests by jurors,

consultants and guests, and awarding of

the Best-in-Intralogistics certificates.

5The Voting

(April/May)

After the IFOY Tests, the

jury votes on the winners.

For this purpose,

each juror assigns a

ranking in each category and justifies the

decision. Each rank is assigned a point

value, whereby the candidate with the

highest number of points is automatically

calculated as the winner. The voting takes

place online and database-supported on

the jury portal.

6IFOY AWARD Night –

award ceremony

(June)

The highlight of the IFOY

AWARD is the announcement

of the winners

and the award ceremony at a festive gala.

However, it remains exciting until the very

end, because neither the nominees nor the

award winners are informed in advance.

CONDITIONS OF PARTICIPATION, FEES AND PRICES FOR

PRESENTATION BOXES AT THE IFOY TEST DAYS WITH

TEST CAMP INTRALOGISTICS CAN BE REQUESTED

FROM THE IFOY OFFICE.

WHY IFOY PARTICIPATION

IS SUBJECT TO A FEE

The IFOY AWARD is the most important

Intralogistics award in the world. Companies

around the globe apply with their new

developments for participation in the final

round and compete in the IFOY Audit during

the TEST DAYS. The process is based on an

elaborate international test and jury organisation

that is unique throughout the world.

The road to the IFOY AWARD finals is not

an easy one. The demands in terms of

innovation value, customer benefit, quality

and market relevance of the devices and

solutions are high, and the test organisation

is sometimes very demanding. Nevertheless,

a nomination is highly coveted, as it not

only confirms the company's own performance,

but also represents a significant

marketing value. More than 460 media in 46

countries with an online reach of more than

900 million readers report on the nominees'

innovations. In 2021, the online marketing

value of the IFOY nominations alone was

between €360,000 and €1,000,000.

To ensure the neutrality, quality and

independence of the organisation as

well as the marketing value, there is

a fee to participate in the IFOY AWARD

and TEST CAMP INTRALOGISTICS.

In 2023, the IFOY application fee is 1,000

euros. In the case of a nomination, up to

22,000 euros will be charged depending

on various factors. The nomination

fee is not charged to start-ups.

NEW IN THE JURY

The IFOY organisation announces the appointment of three new jurors. Peter MacLeod, news

editor at "Logistics Business" in the UK, Rosa Maria Cherubini, managing editor at "Il Giornale della

Logistica" in Italy, and Klaus Koch, editor-in-chief at the online magazine "LogisticsInnovation.

org" in Switzerland were newly elected to the jury. This means that a total of 25 representatives of

leading international logistics publications from 19 nations are currently represented on the IFOY

jury. This year they were once again allowed to test and judge the world's best new intralogistics

products and solutions. All jury members at a glance at https://www.ifoy.org/en/bodies/jury.

STATEMENT ON THE EXCLUSION OF RUSSIA FROM THE IFOY AWARD

The IFOY organisation has excluded Russia

from participation in the IFOY AWARD.

Representatives of Russia on the jury and

advisory board will be relieved of their duties

until further notice. The IFOY organisation's

statement on this is:

“Russian jurors will no longer be able to vote

on winners or participate in IFOY AWARD

events. This will initially affect the IFOY TEST

DAYS with the TEST CAMP INTRALOGISTICS

from March 21 - 23, 2022 in Dortmund, as

well as the award ceremony on June 30,

2022, in Munich. Visitors and exhibitors from

Russia will also be excluded from attending.

We will decide on the exclusion of Russian

manufacturers from the IFOY AWARD 2023

in good time before the application phase

begins in August 2022. This decision has not

been easy for us, yet we consider it to be of

no alternative to send a signal against this

unprecedented war of aggression against

Ukraine.

We explicitly emphasise at this point that

this step does not change the respect for

the jurors, media, applicants, and visitors

who have represented Russia in the

IFOY AWARD committees. We have highly

appreciated their competence and cooperation

in the IFOY network. We personally

ask them for their understanding and hope

that we will meet again soon in peace.
