Established in 1953, the iF World Design Awards promote industrial design with one of the world’s most prestigious design competitions. The 2017 awards were among the most competitive ever, with judges evaluating as many as 5,575 entries from 59 countries.

KEY FACTS ON ZEBRA’S AWARD-WINNING PRODUCTS

The ergonomic, lightweight TC8000 mobile computer offers an innovative design that reduces muscle effort by eliminating the need for “tilt and verify” motions warehouse workers repeatedly conduct with traditional devices. Shaving seconds off each repetitive motion saves one hour per worker per shift – increasing productivity by an average of 14 percent based on more efficient workflow.

The design of the TC5 Series touch mobile computers satisfies the durability, power and security needs of business users while offering a consumer-device-like interface which better meets the expectations of today’s end users. Check out this video to learn more.

The DS3600 ultra-rugged series of scanners, which are 23 percent more durable than any other scanner in its class, provide unstoppable scanning performance enabling peak productivity throughout enterprise environments.

The easy-to-use WT6000 industrial wearable computer and the RS6000 ring scanner are part of Zebra’s Total Wearable Solutions portfolio, designed to drive greater warehouse efficiency and worker effectiveness. The rugged yet elegant industrial design of the wearable system ensures maximum uptime in the most demanding of environments, resulting in a 15 percent boost in worker productivity and 39 percent fewer errors than typical voice-only solutions.

“The iF competition is clearly attracting some of the best companies and designers around the world. The arduous task the judges face is to identify not only beautiful design, but also to recognize where that design offers consumers and retailers a real sense of value. When a product receives an iF award, it really stands for something: it stands for a clear intention and a quality of execution, a quality of materials, a quality of thinking.”
