This year’s award honors Crown’s QuickPick Remote order-picking technology, which prevailed in the “Warehouse Trucks” category during an IFOY test week in real-world conditions.
In 2013, the company earned the award for the InfoLink wireless fleet and operator management system in the “Forklift Truck Solutions” category.
The independent jury of trade journalists noted the product’s innovation, ergonomic efficiency and customer benefits. The system simplifies the working steps required to pick orders, which reduces physical stress on the operators while simultaneously helping to enhance productivity and safety during the order-picking process.
Using a wireless remote control incorporated into a special work glove, QuickPick operators can move their order pickers forward to the next pick location at the touch of a button without having to climb repeatedly on and off the truck’s operator platform. At the same time, operators can keep both hands free for their actual order-picking work.
