Condition monitoring tool moneo RTM receives the German Design Award 2024

12/18/23

Once again, the German Design Award goes to ifm. Having last honoured three of the company’s products with the prestigious award in 2021, the jury will present the award in 2024 for the condition monitoring tool moneo RTM. It is the first design award for a software product from ifm.

Since its introduction in 2012, the German Design Award has become one of the most important prizes for innovative product design. Every year, an international jury of experts selects the best products. They are all united by their pioneering design, which also has an impact beyond Germany. The selection is made in a multi-stage judging process and a two-day jury meeting. The products are honoured in the categories “Excellent Product Design”, “Excellent Communications Design” and “Excellent Architecture” with the respective “Gold”, “Winner” and “Special Mention” awards. The automation specialist ifm in Essen receives this year’s Winner Award for the moneo RTM software.

moneo RTM - short for Real-Time Maintenance - is a sub-module of the IIoT platform moneo, which is now established in many industries and with which the company offers technologies ranging from data analysis to the configuration of sensors under one roof. With moneo RTM, users can set up customised dashboards that provide a constant overview of the current application status. In the event of damage, the software immediately triggers an alarm so that a quick response is possible and a costly and lengthy total failure can be avoided. With detailed data analyses, industrial companies achieve reduced downtimes, more effective maintenance planning and cost-optimised production processes.

moneo RTM joins the ranks

For ifm, the moneo RTM award is by no means the first design prize. In 2021, the DV21XX signal lamp, the SM6020 flow meter and the KQ10XX level sensor were awarded for their excellent product design, and three ifm products had already received the award in the previous year. The company also received the Red Dot Design Award in 2015, 2016, 2018, 2020 and 2023, most recently this year for the O3R perception platform, the OVP800 video processing unit and the Multicover Puck.
