GS1 Switzerland has nominated Feldschlösschen, Gilgen Logisitics, Kemaro and SBB Cargo for this year's Swiss Logistics Award. The companies convince, among other things, with sweeping vacuum robots and sustainable and digital building material and logistics solutions.

The Bern association GS1 Switzerland has nominated four companies for this year’s Swiss Logistics Award. According to a press release , the award recognizes “special market and customer-oriented process solutions” that are considered to be particularly promising.

The Feldschlösschen Brewery based in Rheinfelden AG is one of the nominees. She was able to convince the jury with a project for the environmentally friendly delivery of drinks. By 2030, Feldschlösschen wants to operate all of its logistics in a CO2-neutral manner. It has already procured 20 new 26-ton electric trucks for this purpose.

Secondly, Gilgen Logistics from Köniz BE is one of the nominees. The company is digitizing its intralogistics systems. It relies on augmented reality and the cloud, for example. Each element of the system receives a digital twin. In this way, the system can be presented digitally to customers or to service. The retailer Denner has already put a digitized system from Gilgen into operation.

Thirdly, Kemaro from Eschlikon TG was chosen among the nominees. The company was able to convince with a dry cleaning robot. This can clean autonomously in logistics and without the use of chemicals or water. According to the information, it can reduce cleaning costs by 50 percent.

The fourth nominated company is SBB Cargo based in Olten. The goods division of SBB was able to convince with the Urban Mining Logistics Zurich project. SBB Cargo is building a plant for recycled concrete together with Zürcher Spross Transport & Recycling AG. This recycles demolition material supplied by the city of Zurich. Primary and secondary raw materials are transported exclusively by rail. According to the announcement, the concept was created through the combination of urban mining, urban logistics and rail logistics.

The Swiss Logistics Award will be presented on June 8th in the Kursaal Bern.
