Leica CS20 field controller honoured with Red Dot Award

The new Leica CS20 field controller received an Honourable Mention in theRed Dot Awards: Product Design 2015.

在来自56个国家 /地区的4,928个参赛作品中，在设计工作的特别执行方面被选为Leica CS20现场控制器，这是仅122种产品设计之一，以获得荣誉奖。

“创新并不总是可见的裸体eye. Often it is hidden aspects, such as a refined technology inside the product or an improved combination of materials, that constitute a lucid and sometimes brilliant new development,” said Dr. Peter Zec, founder and CEO of the Red Dot Award. “We can therefore count ourselves lucky that year after year we are able to appoint an expert, experienced and high-profile jury that doesn’t miss a beat. All those who are successful before this jury have invested a lot of time and understanding into the product submitted. They are completely deserving of their reward, which permits them to use the globally recognised seal of good design.”

人体工程学设计

Leica CS20 field controller honoured with Red Dot AwardThe Red Dot Awards: Product Design 2015 was divided into 31 categories judged by a 38-member panel of design professionals from 25 countries. The experts included Danish fashion designer David Andersen, German materials expert Dr. Sascha Peters and Wen-long Chen, CEO of the Taiwan Design Center.

Leica CS20的奖项理由解释了野外控制器如何具有由高科技塑料制成的极其稳定和强大的两分和三组分住房。符合人体工程学控制的明确布局和主要功能键的重点，即使手套的手也可以简单使用。设备的重心位于锥形握把区域。背部的设计具有最大的平坦度，以确保毫不费力的抓地力。”陪审团在评论Lica CS20的设计时报道说：“圆周灯绿色带巧妙地强调了田间控制器的人体工程学形式。住房具有高质量的完成。”Leica CS20现场控制者获得了Red Dot奖的陪审团，陪审团决定获奖者对：

• Degree of innovation
• Ergonomics
• 产品外围
• 功能

• Self-explanatory quality
• Formal quality
• Symbolic and emotional content
• Ecological compatibility

The Leica CS20 was entered into the Industry & Crafts category of the competition by the design firmplatinumdesign，负责与Leica GeoSystems Geomatics部门合作，为现场控制器创建概念。

“The team worked extremely hard to create a design that would work well with all the demanding situations today’s measurement professionals face,” said Matthias Wieser, platinumdesign design manager. “I am thrilled that we can share this honour with Leica Geosystems who provided the inspiration for such a successful design concept.”

Power in your hands

The Leica CS20 field controller was released 2 June as part of theLeica Captivate Experience. Integrated with Leica DISTO™ for accurate electronic distance measuring and including radio and antenna for long-range robotic total station control, the Leica CS20 field controller provides the ultimate in control and convenience with complete mobility. Touch screen technology allows for comfortable and quick data processing while a stunning 3D view transforms your Leica Viva GNSS and Leica Nova scanning experiences.

“With a renewed focus on customer experience, we wanted the design of the Leica CS20 to provide the most benefit for the measurement professional ,” said Alastair Green, Leica Geosystems field controllers and field surveying software program director. “This Red Dot Award provides the proof of concept we aimed to achieve, and I’m proud of the entire design team and our commitment to quality has paid off in earning this honour.”

Leica CS20将于明年在台北和新加坡的Red Dot Design博物馆展出。
