Konecranes’ innovative material management solution Agilon, launched in 2013, has received a Fennia Prize Honorary Mention 2014. Agilon helps companies move towards smart material flows. It rapidly and automatically stores, picks, and replenishes items weighing up to 25 kg, using a robot to handle both component transfers and refill orders. Inventories stay up to date and the right components find their ways to the rights places at the right time, thereby improving productivity and work satisfaction. Agilon brings the Industrial Internet into material management, as it allows real time information on the components to be shared via a portal with various parties in the supply chain.
The Fennia Prize is arranged by Design Forum Finland and Fennia Group. It is targeting companies producing designed goods and applying design in other ways in their operations. The competition is an opportunity for businesses to stand out through innovative and responsible design of economic significance. The objective with the prize is to encourage companies to make innovative and broad use of design in product development, manufacturing and matters relating to corporate image.
The awards of the competition are the Fennia Prize Grand Prix, individual Fennia Prizes, and Fennia Prize Honorary Mentions.
