German Design Award winner

The German Design Council has awarded Crown its German Design Award 2015 in the ‘Industry, Materials and Health Care’ category – in honour of the company’s semi-automated QuickPick Remote order-picking system, technology that combines a Crown low-level order picker with a remote-control glove.

The Design Council jury explained the reasons for its decision: “QuickPick Remote is the world’s first semi-automated order picker of its kind and an impressive design achievement. The lift truck itself sets a high ergonomic benchmark, but can also be manoeuvred from a distance using the remote-control glove, with laser sensors on the truck ensuring safe operation. This greatly reduces the distances drivers must walk while carrying loads, and improves productivity by up to 25%.”
