RAVAS nominated for prestigious IFOY Award

Known as one of the most prestigious awards within the international forklift industry, the IFOY Award highlights the most innovative and impactful developments within the industry. RAVAS is honored to be nominated in the Special of the Year category, which specifically focuses on innovations that contribute to improved profitability, sustainability and working conditions.  

"This nomination is confirmation of our commitment to innovation and quality," said Michael van Dijk, International Key Account Manager at RAVAS. "Our Weigh in Motion technology is a revolutionary step forward in optimizing logistics processes and increasing workplace safety. We are proud of this recognition and the potential this technology holds for the industry." 

This technology, which was also recently recognized with the 'Most Innovative Product for Logistics, Transport, and Production 2023' award at the Logistyki, Transportu i Produkcji gala in Warsaw, Poland, enables loads to be weighed directly while the forklift is in motion. 

The Weigh in Motion technology on an intelligent carriage plate (iCP) ensures accurate and reliable weight determination while a forklift is moving. This results in significant time savings, and thus cost savings, as the driver can weigh without stopping. It also prevents unnecessary additional transport movements and manual activities, contributing to higher efficiency, lower chances of accidents, better sustainability, and increased employee satisfaction compared to traditional weighing methods. Moreover, the calibrated value provided by the Weigh in Motion technology can be used for direct billing. 

The seamless integration of Weigh in Motion technology with TMS, WMS, or ERP systems enables real-time weight control, optimization of loads, and prevention of over- or under-loading of trucks, ensuring streamlined operations and maximum productivity. Additionally, data can be automatically collected, stored, and analyzed. This integration enhances the process of weight registration, improves inventory accuracy, and facilitates data-driven decision-making. 

Forklift scales with Weigh in Motion technology are particularly suitable for situations where large amounts of palletized goods need to be moved within a limited time. Ideal for logistics, storage, reweighing, and LTL shipments.
