IFOY TEST DAYS 2024
16 nominated products and solutions undergo the IFOY audit
Agilox, BOX ID Systems, Brightpick, Crown, CYBRID, GLOBE Fuel Cell Systems, HWArobotics, Innok Robotics, Jungheinrich, MEYSENS, MOCCI, RAVAS Europe, SAFELOG, SSI Schäfer and STILL successfully passed the three-stage IFOY audit as part of the IFOY TEST in Dortmund.
The IFOY Audit begins with the scientific IFOY Innovation Check, which is carried out by the Dortmund-based Fraunhofer Institute for Material Flow and Logistics (IML), the Chair of Technical Logistics at the University of Dresden, the Chair of Materials Handling Material Flow Logistics at the Technical University of Munich and the Stuttgart-based Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Engineering and Automation IPA. The scientists assess the finalists in terms of market relevance, customer benefit, type of design and degree of innovation. They also verify the innovations specified by the manufacturers and evaluate in a comprehensive technology comparison whether they are innovative further developments, new compositions or genuine innovations.
The second part of the IFOY audit consists of a consultation with a practical evaluation and the practice-oriented IFOY test by specialist journalist and intralogistics expert Theo Egberts. The Dutchman measures the hard facts and compares them with those of the relevant competitor products. The equipment undergoes individually tailored driving and functional tests, including the IFOY test protocol, which covers around 80 criteria and determines the cost-effectiveness, energy efficiency, sustainability, safety and ergonomics of the equipment.
The audit concludes with the evaluation of the finalists by the jury members and their approved advisors. The jury members make a final decision based on the IFOY Innovation Check, the IFOY test results and their own test experience and then cast their vote. The winner of one of the 2024 awards, also known as the "Oscars of intralogistics", will not be announced yet. The well-kept secret - even for finalists - will only be revealed during the festive IFOY AWARD Night. It will take place on June 14, 2024 in Baden near Vienna
TEST CAMP INTRALOGISTICS a great success
The fourth edition of TEST CAMP INTRALOGISTICS came to an end on April 10 and 11 with numerous highlights. A total of more than 1,200 participants came to the fully booked test hall at Messe Dortmund on both days to test a selection of the best innovations and new developments in intralogistics. Including the IFOY finalists, test sets with more than 100 innovations were set up on around 10,000 square meters. B2B visitors once again had a wide range of products and solutions for their in-house logistics at their disposal: from forklift trucks and automated warehouse technology devices to mobile robots, logistics software and state-of-the-art specials.
"Best in Intralogistics" certificates awarded
IFOY AWARD 2024
As part of the opening of TEST CAMP INTRALOGISTICS (April 10 and 11), the organizers of the International Intralogistics and Forklift Truck of the Year (IFOY) AWARD presented the "Best in Intralogistics" certificates for 2024. Representatives from a total of 15 companies accepted the coveted certificate in Hall 4 at Messe Dortmund. In future, the companies Agilox, BOX ID Systems, Brightpick, Crown, CYBRID, GLOBE Fuel Cell Systems, HWArobotics, Innok Robotics, Jungheinrich, MEYSENS, MOCCI, RAVAS Europe, SAFELOG, SSI Schäfer and STILL will be allowed to use the certificate.
The certificates were presented by Jan Drömer, the new Chairman of the Board of the VDMA Materials Handling and Intralogistics Association.
The "Best in Intralogistics" certificate, which was introduced six years ago, aims to visibly document the high degree of innovation of the solutions and devices nominated for the IFOY AWARD. "Anyone who applies for the IFOY AWARD with an innovation must undergo the three-part audit in Dortmund after being nominated. Only those who successfully complete it are allowed to bear the Best-in-Intralogistics seal," emphasizes Anita Würmser, Managing Chairwoman of the jury.

After a formal and technical preliminary examination by the IFOY organization and the test teams, the jury nominates the products and solutions for the final round from all valid applications by the end of the year. Those who make it to the final round undergo the three-stage IFOY Audit, consisting of the IFOY Test, scientific IFOY Innovation Check and jury testing.
Important information: The nominees are not compared with each other, but with relevant competitive devices on the market.
The audit will take place as part of the TEST CAMP INTRALOGISTICS at Messe Dortmund. TEST CAMP INTRALOGISTICS will open its doors to the professional public on April 10 and 11, 2024; a total of 1,500 participants are expected. The IFOY TEST DAYS will begin two days earlier on the afternoon of April 8 with the first functional tests. On April 9, 2024, the IFOY finalists will undergo the Scientific Innovation Check and present their innovations to a jury of trade journalists from 20 countries around the world.
All applicants will be informed in writing whether the jury has made a nomination.
