Huge cheers and thunderous applause in the Erich Klausener Hall of the Federal Ministry of Digital and Transport in Berlin: Mick Mountz (59), Dr. Peter Wurman (59) and Prof. Dr. Raffaello D'Andrea (57), the three founders of Kiva Systems, have been officially inducted into the Logistics Hall of Fame. More than 200 international guests from business, science, non-governmental organizations and politics honored the achievements of the inventors of the Mobile Robotic Fulfillment System in intralogistics, which enables numerous e-commerce companies to make same-day, efficient and error-free deliveries of goods with the help of autonomous mobile robots (AMR).

Hartmut Hoeppner, State Secretary at the Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport Affairs, praised the achievements of Mountz, Wurman and D'Andrea in his laudatory speech: “The invention of the multiple award-winning Mobile Robotic Fulfillment System and its extraordinary success story also inspired the international jury of the Logistics Hall of Fame. They voted the inventors into the international hall of fame. Not because they placed small shelves on mobile robots. Such ideas have been around before. But the trio succeeded in the excellent management of dozens of robots in a confined space.”
