SICK’s microScan3 has received the Red Dot Award, the international accolade recognizing outstanding design quality. A total of approximately 5,200 products and innovations from some 57 countries were submitted and assessed by a jury. This coveted seal of quality is awarded to those products whose exceptional approach to design makes them stand out from the rest. It was SICK’s safety laser scanner that led to the company emerging victorious in the Product Design category.

“The microScan3’s standout features are not only its clear distinction between functional areas and the control panel, but also its clearly arranged design,” said the Red Dot jury. These factors are what give the product its intuitive user handling and combination of design and function. The award looks at three different disciplines in order to recognize the variety of approaches that are taken to design and assess them as appropriate: Product Design, Communication Design, and Design Concept.
