The organisers of the 323 SaMoTer Italian construction machinery exhibition are running a technology award during the run-up to next edition. The exhibition will be held at the Verona Exhibition Centre 21st 25th March 2020. The closing date for entries in the 23rd Innovation Award is 28th October 2019. The event now offers more categories to ensure better representativeness of the construction machinery sector.

Construction companies, official representatives or importers, research institutions and bodies, universities and professionals active in the world of construction and building site machinery may all take part.

There are 10 competition sections: hydraulic excavators, wheel loaders, track-laying bulldozers, skid-loaders, backhoe loaders, graders, telehandlers, attachments, software applications and installations.

The Award requires that machines, equipment or prototypes are genuine innovations or improvements in the company production ranges and that they will make their absolute debut on the Italian market in 2020.

The jury, chaired for the first time by technical journalist Costantino Radis, will assess innovative investments such as solutions for energy efficiency, production optimisation, elimination of ergonomic or operator safety problems and sustainability in the construction and use of machines. Not to mention applied design that, as of this edition of the SaMoTer Award, will see the assignment of a special prize.

“The earth moving machinery sector,” said Radis, “is evolving towards even more digitisation and we therefore envisage that this aspect will also play a central role in the proposals entered for the competition. The by-now very near future of this market will be focus on process control and vehicle efficiency, including remote control thanks to 5G networks or, in particular situations, work in full autonomy exploiting artificial intelligence.”

The winners of the competition will later be the main exponents of the “B2Press” initiative, which includes a prize-giving ceremony in Verona on the evening of 23rd January 2020 and, on the following day, “Speed date” meetings with journalists from the international trade press.
