IFOY Test Days 2017: Jury tests IFOY Award finalists

Mar 18, 2017 Warehousing Ireland Materials Handling, News, News Comments Off on IFOY Test Days 2017: Jury tests IFOY Award finalists


• Crown, Jungheinrich, kickTrike, SSI Schäfer, Still, Torwegge, UniCarriers face the world´s biggest intralogistics test.
• More than 100 guests follow the IFOY Test live at Messe München.
• Jury members from 15 countries test IFOY 2017 finalists.

Action in Hall A3 of the Messe München trade fair location: during the IFOY Test Days, the finalists for the IFOY Award were put through their paces. This year, eleven nominated trucks and components from manufacturers Crown, Jungheinrich, kickTrike, SSI Schäfer, Still, Torwegge and UniCarriers made it into the final round for the IFOY Award and were subjected to the world’s biggest intralogistics test.
“The IFOY Award is not for just any machine. The promises of the manufacturers have to be validated, and only entrants who pass the test series with flying colours can claim to belong to the ‘Best of Intralogistics’ “, says Anita Würmser, Chairperson of the IFOY Jury.
More than 100 invited guests, including the various testing teams as well as 30 jury members and approved consultants from industry, logistics services, media and academia, made the trip to Munich to watch the tests as they were being carried out.
Jury members from 15 countries (including Fleet Transport/Handling Network and their advisory teams from the logistics sector and the media took an in-depth look at the finalists. The first jury testing day began with the presentations by SSI Schäfer, Torwegge and Jungheinrich. SSI Schäfer and Identytec showcased their 2Stack AGV system with auto ID technology and software-based eKanban. The team from Torwegge entered its driverless heavy-duty AGV “TORsten” for the award, and Jungheinrich presented its smartphone-based indoor localisation system for stacker trucks. Day two was the day of the jury tests. In addition to test driving the multi-functional WAV 60 from Crown and the kickTrike intralogistics eBike, the jury members put the Jungheinrich EMD 115i electric high lift truck, the autonomous iGo neo CX 20 horizontal order picker from Hamburg-based manufacturer Still and the EPH 125 DTFV high lift order picker from UniCarriers through rigorous trial sessions. The final entrants on the jury testing list were the heavy-duty tugger train with automatic loading and unloading from Still as well as Still’s self-cooling PowerPlusLife battery, followed by the Driver Presence Sensor (DPS) from UniCarriers as an alternative to a dead man’s switch.
All this was preceded by a week of lifting, driving, measuring and order picking. The eleven new trucks that were nominated were put through their paces during the comprehensive 80-criterion testing protocol and the IFOY “Innovation Check” in the 11,000 square metre trade fair hall. The Innovation Check was performed by the Fraunhofer Institute for Material Flow and Logistics (IML) in Dortmund and the Chair of Machine Elements and Technical Logistics at the Helmut Schmidt University in Hamburg, and assesses in particular the innovative features of the trucks and the degree of innovation relative to the market. The assessment criteria are market relevance, degree of novelty, customer benefit and type of implementation. The hands-on IFOY Test devised by Dutch testing specialist Theo Egberts from Andersom Testing measures the “hard data” of each machine and compares it with the data for rival trucks. Both testing series form the basis for the final vote of the jury.
