In 2018, the "Factory Software of the Year" award was presented for the first time by the Industry 4.0 Application Center at the Chair of Business Informatics, Processes and Systems at the University of Potsdam, in the categories Processes, Logistics, Complete System, IoT and Industry 4.0. The public presentations before a renowned jury of consultants, scientists and industry representatives took place during the "Factory Software Congress 2018". The following providers were honoured as Factory Software of the Year 2018 in their respective categories: ZF Friedrichshafen (Processes), Jungheinrich (Logistics), CSB-System AG (Complete System), CONTACT Software GmbH (IoT) and software4production GmbH (Industry 4.0).
In March 2019, software4production GmbH competed again as part of the "Factory Software Congress 2019" at the Fraport Conference Center, this time in the Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) category. Out of many renowned competitors, only the market leader MPDV and software4production GmbH reached the final round in this category to present their solutions before the high-calibre jury (consulting, science and industry). Thanks to the functional and technological aspects, the real-time capability and adaptability of our solutions, S4P deservedly prevailed with a total of 812 points. The jury particularly praised the impressive live demonstration of 4PRO for RTLS-based logistics control as well as our web-based production data acquisition (BDE) on a SIEMENS 840D HMI.
