factorymaker in the Digital Logistics Award finals
factorymaker is a finalist for the Digital Logistics Award 2026, and co-founder and CEO Maria Zahlbruckner will pitch on stage on 8 September.
Logistics and production have more in common than it first appears. Both are processes that move through space, and both perform according to how that space is arranged. factorymaker analyses the flow, identifies bottlenecks and areas of potential, and generates layout scenarios that use the available space better. From goods receipt through storage, order picking and packing to dispatch, the layout decides what throughput is possible. factorymaker makes those options visible and comparable, so teams can commit on evidence rather than experience alone.
Also in the finals: Kompass360°, Binabik AI, cargovibe, Open Logistics Network, HADROS and SLAPStack.
Meet us in Dortmund
