SupplyTech Breakthrough Award 2026: EPG AURA Observer Recognized as "Overall Logistics Innovation of the Year"

The EPG AURA Observer has been recognized as "Overall Logistics Innovation of the Year" at the SupplyTech Breakthrough Awards 2026. With this award, US-based analyst and market research firm SupplyTech Breakthrough honors technologies and solutions that set new benchmarks for the digital transformation of supply chains and logistics processes.

The award goes to a technology that makes existing camera infrastructure in the warehouse usable as an operational data source. As part of the AI-native environment EPG AURA, the Observer interprets warehouse floor activity in real time and makes the resulting information available for operational decision-making. The goal is to create transparency over physical processes and to harness previously untapped information from warehouse operations for process control.

The SupplyTech Breakthrough Awards jury also specifically highlights this approach. "The EPG AURA Observer transforms existing warehouse camera infrastructure into a real-time operational data source, redefining how warehouse processes can be monitored and optimized," says Bryan Vaughn, Managing Director of the SupplyTech Breakthrough Awards. Logistics companies today are under considerable pressure to operate their networks faster, more safely, and with greater precision. At the same time, simply observing warehouse activity through dashboards and disconnected camera feeds is increasingly no longer sufficient.

"Warehouse cameras have traditionally been used primarily to retrospectively understand what happened. With the EPG AURA Observer, we are creating an entirely new level of utilization by understanding physical processes in real time and making them available for operational decisions," explains Peter Bollinger, CEO of EPG. "Being recognized as Overall Logistics Innovation of the Year confirms that the market is increasingly moving toward operational AI. Companies today need not only transparency into their systems, but also a continuous understanding of what is actually happening on the warehouse floor."
