Nico Moar and Jan Reschke from the Niederrhein University of Applied Sciences won the bronze prize for their project “Use of exoskeletons in a forming company”. Both projects were supervised by Prof. Dr. Patrick Pötters. The “German Six Sigma Award Practice” for the best practical application of process optimization methods was awarded twice this year. The winners were Thomas Lang from Festo SE & Co.
