Ismaning near Munich, October 2, 2024: The application phase for the IFOY AWARD 2025 is entering the final phase. Suppliers of products and solutions can still apply for an IFOY AWARD 2025 until the end of October. The application portal at www.ifoy.org closes on October 30, 2024.

There are a total of ten categories to choose from for 2025, covering all areas of application in intralogistics. Forklift trucks and warehouse technology equipment through to individually manufactured special vehicles are all eligible to apply. Automated and autonomous industrial trucks, stationary and mobile robots, software and outstanding technical details or components such as ergonomic innovations, safety solutions or aids in the warehouse make up what is now the largest IFOY applicant field. Trophies are also awarded for successfully implemented integrated warehouse and automation projects for customers.

A separate Spin-Off Award is presented to start-up companies. Newly founded companies can apply for the IFOY Start-up of the Year Award with their products and services.

The IFOY AWARD is one of the world's most important technology competitions in intralogistics. It has established itself as an indicator of efficiency and innovation and is regarded as a highly coveted innovation prize in intralogistics due to its test organization and its outstanding marketing value. The jury is made up of the editors-in-chief of leading logistics media in 20 countries.

Those nominated by the jury undergo the three-stage IFOY audit at the IFOY TEST DAYS, consisting of the IFOY Test, the scientific IFOY Innovation Check and the jury test. The decisive factor is that the nominees are not compared with each other, but with their competitor devices on the market.

IFOY TEST DAYS will once again take place next year as part of TEST CAMP INTRALOGISTICS at Messe Dortmund, which opens its doors on March 26 and 27. The IFOY TEST DAYS begin two days earlier - on the afternoon of March 24 with the first functional tests. On March 25, the IFOY finalists will undergo the scientific IFOY Innovation Check and present their innovations to a jury of trade journalists from 19 countries.
