Applications open for 2024 round of intralogistics awards

The application portal for the International Intralogistics and Forklift Truck of the Year (IFOY) Award is now open until October 30, 2023.

Intralogistics companies worldwide can apply to be considered for an award with their new products and projects. Forklift trucks and warehouse technology equipment as well as custom-built special vehicles are welcome to enter the competition.

Eleven categories covering all areas of intralogistics are up for voting in the twelfth edition of the award for 2024. Automated and autonomous industrial trucks, stationary and mobile robots, software and outstanding technical details or components, such as ergonomic innovations, safety solutions or warehouse aids, now represent the largest IFOY field of applicants. Awards are also given for successfully implemented integrated warehouse and automation projects at customer sites.

A separate IFOY award will be presented to start-up companies.
