The 2022 IFOY winners

Six companies were recognised at the recent IFOY Awards 2022 in Munich.

Jungheinrich won the Special Vehicle award with its ERD 220i double-deck stacker. The truck sets new standards for a safe, optimally protected and yet super-compact electric pallet truck, judged the jury. 

The winner in the AGV category was Locus Robotics, which was recognised for its Locus Robotics AMR Solution. The collaborative AMR was highly regarded by the testers and innovation checkers due to its high degree of innovation and its high market relevance in the light of the rapidly growing online trade and the demand for cost-effective solutions to increase throughput. 

A total of three young companies qualified for the final round in the Start-up of the Year category this year with their innovative products and solutions. The winner was the Munich-based start-up, Noyes Technologies, with its first robotically operated, automated and highly flexible nano-logistics system, Noyes Storage, for urban logistics. The jury found that customers from almost all industries can benefit from significantly improved space utilisation with the help of the system. 

The Munich-based company robominds won the Robot category with its AI-based robobrain.NEUROS, an industrialised operating system for intelligent robotics. According to the jury, the market relevance of a manufacturer-neutral and reliable robotics operating system with support for AI-based processes can be classified as very high. 

SSI Schäfer was named Integrated Warehouse Solutions category winner for its IKEA Project Flat Pack Picking. With Flat Pack Picking, the company implemented an automated and turnkey system solution for the safe and volume-optimised palletising of heavy and large items. The use of gantry robots enables the efficient handling of a very heterogeneous range of articles. 

This year's winner in the Special of the Year category was Synaos with its Synaos IMS – Vehicle Localization for the complete localisation of transport vehicles. “The simple real-time localisation of all types of industrial trucks with the help of this very convincing localisation system helps customers on their way to the complete digitalisation of intralogistics,” IFOY testers noted. 

The IFOY Award is considered the most important intralogistics award in the world. In 2022, 12 international companies with 14 products and solutions competed in the 10th edition of the award. “Ten years of the IFOY Award stand for 10 years of outstanding innovations,” says jury chair Anita Würmser. “In 2022, the finalists have once again presented top products in the competition that will shape the future of intralogistics in the long term.” 

Forkliftaction News editor Allan Leibowitz serves on the IFOY jury.
