🏆 SupplyTech Breakthrough Award 2026 for SmartPocket Recognition rarely comes from doing the same thing better. It comes from changing the logic behind it. E-commerce volatility, SKU complexity, and labor constraints continue to expose the limits of rigid automation systems designed around peak capacity. SmartPocket was awarded "Sortation System Innovation of the Year“ at the 2026 SupplyTech Breakthrough Awards. The unique selling proposition of the pocket sorter: it relies on mobile robots instead of a drag chain. These Smart Carriers, as they are called, move quickly and autonomously along a network of intersecting rails. The disruptive concept persuaded the prestigious expert jury, as did the consistent focus on overcoming customers' challenges. "Being awarded Sortation System Innovation of the Year is a great validation of the work we have done over the past months," affirms Patricio Miranda Febres, Chief Sales Officer TGW North America. “Innovations are not only a part of our corporate DNA, but also a central element of our success because they offer answers to the challenges that our customers are facing.” In its first implementation with Personalshop, this approach shows how stability and flexibility can coexist in high-volume fulfillment environments without overengineering capacity. For supply chain leaders, it reflects a broader shift: from fixed system thinking to adaptive, continuously scalable fulfillment architecture. More information in the comments. ⬇️
