Gold for KNAPP

The team of judges – comprising senior engineering and facilities managers at leading retailers, manufacturers and third-party logistics providers – was looking for strong innovation, return on investment, efficiency improvement, contribution to safety, environmental improvement, outstanding design and service excellence.

In awarding the Gold Award for Warehouse Automation to KNAPP, the judging panel praised the scale and complexity of the solution, which enabled the UK's largest department store retailer to adapt its supply chain to meet radical changes in demand. In particular, the judges were impressed by the modular nature of the solution and its future-proof design.
