The finalists for this year's IFOY Award (International Intralogistics and Forklift of the Year) have been announced, with 17 devices and solutions from 14 manufacturers selected from a field of 36 applicants. "This year, the jury concentrated on a few top models in classic forklift trucks and warehouse equipment and placed a very strong focus on the warehouse of the not-so-distant future in its nominations. This is a clear statement of where the journey in intralogistics is going; autonomisation, technology, software and holistic solutions are more important than ever right now," says Anita Würmser, chairwoman of the IFOY jury. The finalists include automated guided vehicles (AGVs), robots, special vehicles, software and complex warehouse solutions. The companies arculus, Cargotec Engineering, Hai Robotics, Hänel, H+E Produktentwicklung, HHLA Sky, the BMW subsidiary IDEALworks, Interroll Group, Nimmsta, Oppidum Tic, Still, Synaos, Volume Lagersysteme and Waku Robotics all want to win a trophy.
