“The standout features of microScan3 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 scanner 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.
The microScan3 safety laser scanner provides reliable protection for hazardous areas. Its innovative safeHDDM™ scan technology combines a compact design and a wide sensing range in one device. Even in dusty environments and with ambient light, it is extremely reliable. Thanks to standardized interfaces, its smart connectivity saves costs during cabling. Using the Safety Designer software, the microScan3 can be intuitively configured and is convenient to commission. It also indicates its operational status clearly via the multicolored display.
