The Movu 3D shuttle system “escala” has been awarded “Product of the Year 2024” by the readers of the logistics trade magazine Materialfluss. After the Movu ifollow and the Movu atlas, the next family member from the Movu portfolio has now also received an important award.
Votes were cast for products and solutions in five categories, with Movu escala took 1st place in the ‘Picking technology”, which was judged on three main criteria. First, the product is technically mature and available on the market. Secondly, it stands out significantly from its market competitors thanks to innovative features. Finally, the entry offers customers a clearly recognizable benefit.
The award-winning Movu escala is the next-generation, flexible robotic automated bin storage and retrieval sub-system – for even the smallest applications of bin-compatible products. Robots move along a sophisticated rail track that connects every location point within the dense storage and retrieval rack – from fellow stow Group company, stow Racking – transferring between levels via ramps. This eliminates the need for maintenance-intensive conveyors, lifts, service aisle access, and sequencers. Intelligent management software, combined with the innovative rack design, allows the sequencing of bins at multiple points within the system and at the goods-to-person workstations.
Jos De Vuyst, CEO of stow Group, said: “We are delighted to have received this award and would like to thank all readers who voted in our favor. The award confirms the innovative strength of the stow Group and of Movu Robotics and motivates us even more in our endeavors to develop advanced and accessible logistics automation solutions for all customers, regardless of whether they are starting in automation or expanding further.”
