EPG (Ehrhardt Partner Group) has once again been honored at LogiMAT with the prestigious ‘Best Product LogiMAT 2026’ prize in the category ‘Software, Communication & IT’.
The award was given to EPG AURA Observer, a specialized solution within the AI-native EPG AURA environment. AURA Observer captures operational processes directly in real warehouse environments, making video data usable as a fully integrated data source for the first time – one that can be flexibly analyzed without any programming.
Technological foundation
The technological foundation of the AURA Observer is based on a strategic technology partnership with NVIDIA. For the corporate group, this marks the third time receiving the renowned logistics award, following previous wins in 2014 and 2023.
“Today, logistics software must be designed in such a way that employees can act more quickly and are not dependent on in-depth system knowledge. With AURA, the focus shifts to logistics expertise itself, meaning employees no longer need to specialize in operating individual applications. This is exactly what makes AURA unique in the logistics market,” explained Peter Bollinger, CEO, EPG.
Semantic detection
The decisive added value lies in semantic event detection. Using AI-powered vision-language models, AURA Observer interprets what is actually happening in the warehouse. Safety-critical situations such as falls, obstacles, blocked emergency exits, or violations of occupational safety regulations are automatically identified.
For AI-based analysis of visual data, EPG collaborates with technology leader NVIDIA. AURA Observer and its IVA functionalities are based on the NVIDIA Metropolis platform, which was specifically developed for processing and analyzing video data in industrial environments.
