Sonatest Prisma Wins Red Dot Award for Product Design
Posted: 2013-4-7
The innovative skills and expertise of Sonatest Ltd, in partnership with LA
Design, impressed the 37 strong jury of industry experts who judge the "red dot
award: product design awards in 2013" with the new Prisma, leading to the
winning announcement.
Those who succeed in winning their class group are able to associate themselves
with the red dot branding and positioning within an internationally recognised
field of product design appreciation and expertise. This year the red dot
competition received 4,662 entries in 19 different categories. Only the best
designs are able to win the enthusiasm of the jury, and this is exactly why the
Prisma received the red dot recognition for its successful design creation.
Designed for non-invasive material testing in the most extreme environments;
the Prisma incorporates advanced real-time imaging and 3D scanning, making
flaw interpretation much easier, therefore reducing technician time on site.
Recognized design features include the advanced heat dissipation design, shock
absorbing over-moulding, anti-vibration mounts, high-end waterproofing,
outstanding user ergonomics and a highly engineered skeleton for enhanced
robustness. These integral design features combined with advanced software
and unique multiple inspection modes, enable the Prisma to step up to all testing
applications in a variety of challenging environments; from oil, pipelines to
high-end aerospace components. With integral data recording and automatic
PDF report generation, the Prisma has wireless and ethernet connectivity allowing
the unit to be easily upgraded or diagnosed remotely.
Prof. Dr. Peter Zec, initiator and CEO of the red dot, has pointed out that strong
design competence and economic success nowadays go hand in hand: "The
winners of the ‘red dot award: product design 2013’ are the protagonists of a
highly developed design culture and design industry. These days it is becoming
more and more difficult to distinguish between well-designed products. It is
often only in the details that the special qualities become apparent. However,
those product creations that pass the test before the critical eyes of the
international red dot jury will not fade into the crowd and will be able to fend off
global competition."
Winners of the red dot recognition also benefit from their products being
displayed in the red dot design museum. With around 2,000 products spread
over an area of more than 4,000 sq m, the museum houses the largest exhibition
of contemporary design worldwide. Between 2-28 July the museum hosts
"Design on stage – winners red dot award: product design 2013", where winners,
design specialist and enthusiasts can observe the latest trends at close quarters.
Visitors are invited to handle the exhibtis, allowing them to experience the
breath taking atmosphere of the red dot design museum and the prize-winning
design of Prisma from Sonatest Ltd.
Sonatest Ltd are very proud to acknowledge that this is the second award that
the Prisma has won this year for outstanding product design and would also like
to acknowledge and thank all those in the Sonatest and LA Design teams that
have worked on this product development project.
