Nomination for the CNA Innovation Award: metrilus Drives Sustainable Logistics Forward
The MetriXFreight Platform Delivers Accurate Data for More Transparency, Efficiency, and Traceability in the Supply Chain
Erlangen, 04.05.2026 (PresseBox) - metrilus GmbH has been nominated for the 2026 CNA e.V. Innovation Award. The official award ceremony by State Minister Christian Bernreiter (Bavarian State Ministry for Housing, Construction and Transport) will take place on July 30, 2026, in the Historic City Hall in Nuremberg. This nomination highlights future-oriented technologies: because the efficiency and productivity of logistics stand and fall with the quality of the underlying data. With MetriXFreight, metrilus offers a platform for automated freight dimensioning that captures weights, dimensions, and volumes in the ongoing process, thereby creating a reliable foundation – not least regarding cross-process sustainability.
The pressure on logistics is growing. Sustainability is no longer an optional add-on but a central requirement. In addition to personal conviction, corporate culture, and image factors, regulatory requirements, rising costs, and growing expectations along the supply chain elevate the sustainability standard. This is where MetriXFreight comes in.
Automated Freight Dimensioning Without Additional Process Effort
The demand for sustainability is increasing, yet in practice, many optimization approaches still fail due to a lack of transparency and insufficient data quality. metrilus GmbH has recognized this dormant potential and developed a solution that is as obvious as it is effective: The MetriXFreight platform enables the continuous, automated capture of freight data directly during operations.
The result: Enhanced quality with no additional effort. MetriXFreight captures relevant freight data for a wide variety of freight formats in real time. Separate, manual measuring or weighing steps are not required, simplifying process infrastructures. Automated dimensioning directly in the material flow eliminates potential sources of error as well as time-consuming and costly process interruptions. This relieves employees in their daily operations while simultaneously establishing more stable and resilient processes. In doing so, MetriXFreight creates not only warehouse capacity but also space for sustainable logistics.
Economic Optimization with Ecological Impact
With MetriXFreight, the operational level gains strategic added value. The continuously growing database enables better planning, reduces misguided efforts, and creates a reliable basis for decision-making. At the same time, this allows sustainability potentials to be specifically unlocked.
Based on digital data acquisition, a holistic approach emerges in which efficiency gains and sustainability go hand in hand. A precise data foundation reduces planning errors, avoids unnecessary transport routes, and improves the utilization of existing capacities.
MetriXFreight Creates Efficiency Across All Levels
Manual interventions are significantly reduced through automated dimensioning. This results in a sustainable easing of personnel resources. Services such as remote support and maintenance also save emissions by minimizing on-site technical deployments.
With the continuous capture and provision of freight data, MetriXFreight underpins productivity in the process and simultaneously ensures transparency in the flow of goods. The database allows for seamless documentation and serves as reliable proof for customers, partners, and regulatory requirements.
In the context of increasing compliance and sustainability requirements, valid and auditable data are becoming increasingly important: as a foundation for informed decisions and responsible supply chain design.
Efficient Development Starts with a Sustainable Mindset
With its platform, metrilus GmbH offers companies a solution for efficient processes without neglecting its own sense of responsibility. metrilus aligns itself with the principles of the Triple Bottom Line for economic, social, and ecological aspects of sustainability. The company's own EcoVadis rating serves as an independent guide and incentive.
To further advance the topic of sustainability internally, metrilus is deliberately building competencies within the company. “Many processes still contain untapped potential. Our goal is to raise awareness for the topic, highlight specific potentials, and make them usable in everyday life – both internally and for our partners and customers,” says Veronika Kamer, Sustainability Manager at metrilus GmbH.
