RATIONAL receives Best of Technology Award for digitalization in commercial kitchens.

RATIONAL received first prize for ConnectedCooking in the Process Management category of the Best of Technology Award awarded by WirtschaftsWoche, Germany’s largest business magazine. Specifically, the award was given for the ERP Management Interface, which enables data transfer between ERP systems and the two RATIONAL cooking systems, iCombi Pro and iVario Pro, via ConnectedCooking. This means that pre-defined cooking programs can be sent to networked RATIONAL cooking systems in seconds and across multiple locations, saving time and ensuring uniform standards. The panel said: "We were particularly impressed by the solution, as it brings Production 4.0 to the professional kitchen and creates clear and extensive added value through the integration of the ERP systems. We are sure that this will significantly improve the production processes in commercial kitchens." The ERP Management Interface is currently available in Germany and Austria, further markets will follow.
