Logistics Hall of Fame appoints 13 new jurors
For the first time, 13 new members of the jury will be able to take part in deciding who will move into the world-famous logistics hall and who will receive the "Logistics Leader of the Year" award
The inventors of the Mobile Robotic Fulfillment System in intralogistics, Mick Mountz (59), Dr. Peter Wurman (59), and Prof. Dr. Raffaello D'Andrea (57), are entering the Logistics Hall of Fame. With their developments for the company Kiva Systems, founded in the USA in 2003, the trio has enabled numerous e-commerce companies to deliver goods efficiently and error-free on the same day. Logistics employees no longer walk along shelves looking for orders; instead, Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) move a shelf with inventory to the picking stations.
