IFOY Audit
Finalists undergo the three-stage IFOY Audit as part of the IFOY Audit, which takes place during the TEST CAMP INTRALOGISTICS. This consists of the scientific IFOY Innovation Check, the IFOY Test and the jury test.
FFZ-KPI
Mobile Easykey
With the Industrial Truck Key Performance Indicator developed by Mobile Easykey, users can see the performance of their intralogistics industrial truck fleet at a glance. This makes the time-consuming analysis of Excel tables and individual parameters a thing of the past. The the Industrial Truck Key Performance Indicator is based on the OEE as an industry indicator for production plants. With the hardware and software developed, Mobile Easykey has expanded this industry indicator for moving machines and created a novelty in intralogistics analysis with the KPI.

Description
The Industrial Truck Key Performance Indicator enables the fleet efficiency of the intralogistics fleet to be determined at a glance – thanks to only one unique key figure and the easy-to-read visual traffic light system.
The Industrial Truck Key Performance Indicator is composed of four measurement parameters, which are calculated together in an algorithm.The following are taken into account: The vehicle is energized, the vehicle is logged in, the vehicle is in use and the vehicle is driven with load.
50% of the logistics costs are incurred within the warehouses and thus the intralogistic vehicle fleet also bears a large share of the costs incurred there. The Industrial Truck Key Performance provides a manufacturer-neutral view of the performance of the fleet. It is manufacturer-independent, comparable and can be defined on variable parameters. When collecting the analysis data, the industry and the cycles of the processes on site are taken into account – because the process flows of a warehouse created on the drawing board vary greatly from warehouses that have grown organically. Reliable data can be collected per shift, per month, per fleet and also per vehicle or vehicle type.
From the collected data can be drawn clear conclusions for fleet optimization and future fleet deployment. Fleet managers and responsible people can thus see the overall performance of the fleet at a glance. This is an important building block for making optimum use of the existing intralogistics fleet.
Innovations
The Industrial Truck Key Performance is based on the cross-industry OEE, the overall equipment effectiveness. It reflects as a business indicator. The OEE ratio is based on stationary plant and machinery. The FFZ-KPI adds further calculation parameters to the OEE ratio, making the ratio calculable for moving equipment.
Up to date, no comparable product is known for the manufacturer-independent calculation of the performance of mobile plant and machinery in the field of industrial truck fleets.
Market relevance
Intralogistics account for half of logistics costs and almost no warehouse can manage without an intralogistics fleet. However, the costs within intralogistics outside the supply chains are often neglected because there is a lack of meaningful and clearly assignable data. For this reason, there is great potential for savings in modern and efficient fleet management. Therefore, we expect a high relevance for every intralogistic fleet.
Customer benefits
The main advantages of the Industrial Truck Key Performance Indicator are above all the manufacturer-independent data and the possibility of cross-manufacturer data analysis. Likewise, the easy-to-read KPI is a great advantage thanks to the visual traffic light system, so that fleet managers can assess the condition of their fleet at first glance. Another important component is the cross-industry use of the KPI. And it can also be used for all company sizes.
Test report
The Industrial Truck, in German Flurförderzeug (FFZ), Key Performance Indicator, or FFZ-KPI for short, from the company Mobile Easykey enables the fleet efficiency of the intralogistics fleet to be determined at a glance. The prerequisites for this are a clear key figure and the easy-to-read visual traffic light system.
The FFZ-KPI is made up of four measurement parameters that are calculated together in an algorithm. The following are taken into account: the industrial truck is powered up, the industrial truck is logged on, the industrial truck is in use and the industrial truck is being driven with a load.
50 percent of logistics costs are based on the processes in a warehouse, and thus the industrial truck fleet also contributes a large share of the costs incurred there. The FFZ-KPI provides a manufacturer-neutral view of the performance of the fleet. It is manufacturer-independent, comparable and can be calculated on variable requirement parameters. When collecting the analysis data, the industry and the cycles of the processes on site are taken into account – because the process flows of a warehouse created on the drawing board vary greatly from warehouses that have grown organically. Reliable data can be collected per shift, per month, per fleet and also per vehicle or vehicle type.
From the collected data, clear conclusions can be drawn for fleet optimization and future fleet deployment. Fleet managers and those responsible for the fleet can thus see the overall performance of the fleet at a glance. This is an important building block for making optimum use of the existing intralogistics fleet.
The FFZ KPI is based on the cross-industry OEE figure. This reflects the overall equipment effectiveness as a key business figure. The OEE figure is based on immobile plant and machinery. The FFZ-KPI adds further calculation parameters to the OEE key figure, which makes the key figure calculable for mobile plants.
IFOY test verdict
Intralogistics account for half of logistics costs and almost no warehouse can do without industrial trucks. However, the costs within intralogistics outside of the supply chain are often neglected because meaningful and clearly assignable data are missing. Consequently, there is great potential for savings in modern and efficient fleet management. The main advantages of the Industrial Truck Key Performance Indicator are the manufacturer-independent data and the possibility of cross-manufacturer data analysis. In addition, the KPI is easy to read due to the visual traffic light system. This makes the time-consuming analysis of Excel tables and individual parameters a thing of the past. The FFZ KPI is based on the OEE as an industry indicator for production plants. With the hardware and software developed, Mobile Easykey has expanded this industry indicator for mobile machines and created a novelty in intralogistics analysis with the KPI.

IFOY Innovation Check
Market relevance
The FFZ-KPI software is well suited for systematically evaluating the use of industrial trucks in larger fleets and visualizing it in key figures. This provides the user with a data basis for drawing conclusions as to whether the availability and use of his trucks can be responsible for an influence on his operational effectiveness. In production companies, this is often referred to as overall equipment effectiveness (OEE). Since companies with significantly large fleets of FFZs and a focus on OEE are certainly relevant, but do not affect the overall FFZ market, the market relevance can be rated as good.
Customer benefit
The condensation and visualization of the usage and availability figures is well solved for a regular application. The customization options for individual usage profiles of individual FFZs and the design of the dashboard testify to a high level of competence in the development of user-friendly user interfaces. Overall, however, a high level of effort is required for data collection and aggregation, which is the basis for the determination of key figures. Overall, customer benefit can be rated as good.
Novelty / Innovation
Mobile Easykey has been offering the core functionality of the Easykey software for more than 20 years, which means that it is not new or innovative in the strict sense of the word. The software is the result of a consistently pursued evolution, which has led to a well-developed and contemporary software.
Functionality / Type of Implementation
The Easykey software offers the essential functions, properly prepared and user-friendly, to monitor large FFZ fleets and to condense key figures on their use and availability. It is technologically up-to-date, intuitive, and easy to adapt to the needs of different user characteristics and needs well.
Verdict
Mobile Easykey has been offering the core functionality of the Easykey software for more than 20 years, so it is not new or innovative in the strictest sense. However, the software is up to date and can be well adapted to the needs of different user characteristics and needs.
