DS3600-series scanner recognized for
purposeful, ergonomic design after extensive research
Zebra Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ: ZBRA), the market leader
in rugged mobile computers, barcode scanners and barcode printers
enhanced with software and services to enable real-time enterprise
visibility, announced today that its award-winning DS3600-series
ultra-rugged scanner has earned Australia’s most prestigious award
Good Design®, in the Product Design Category.
Good Design Australia has a long history dating back to the
1950s and is well-established as an institution celebrating both
design and innovation. The DS3600-series scanner was one of the
submissions that met and exceeded the exact criteria of the jury.
The jury consisted of 35 international design experts and assessed
244 shortlisted entries from all around the world.
KEY FACTS
- Zebra’s researchers and designers
tested a range of end-users’ hand sizes and warehouse applications
to arrive at the final design. The DS3600-series features
innovative design elements that are focused on ergonomics and
comfort for warehouse workers who hold the devices for long periods
of time.
- Built to perform in the most extreme
conditions, the Zebra ultra-rugged 3600 scanner series offers the
industry’s highest drop, tumble and sealing specifications in its
class and is the industry’s first IP67-certified scanner in its
class capable of enduring complete water immersion for up to 30
minutes.
- The 3600 series can survive an eight
foot drop to concrete and provides 23 percent more impact
durability than other scanners in its class. It is also dustproof,
sprayproof, and waterproof and features the industry’s only
IP65-sealed cradle in its class.
- Zebra’s 3600 series offers
industry-leading scan performance on both 1D and 2D bar codes -
whether it is a high-density bar code, displayed on the screen of a
mobile phone, under heavy shrinkwrap or printed on paper and
damaged or dirty.
- The vibrant green color of the DS3600
makes it more visible and easier to find in dimly lit industrial
environments.
- The DS3600-series scanner received the
International Forum (iF) Design Award and the Red Dot Award for
exceptional design earlier this year.
