NORTH CANTON,
Ohio, and PADERBORN, Germany, April 4, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Diebold
Nixdorf (NYSE: DBD) has been awarded the prestigious Red Dot
Product Design Award for two of its self-checkout systems, the EASY
Smart Pay and EASY eXpress. Internationally recognized as the
authority for product design quality, The Red Dot Awards, presented
by Design Zentrum Nordrhein-Westfalen, are evaluated by 40
independent designers, design professors and trade journalists.
Diebold Nixdorf's systems were
honored by the expert panel for their exemplary combination of
functionality and design and the intuitive, fast and convenient
operation.
"The Red Dot winners are pursuing the right design
strategy. They have recognized that good design and economic
success go hand in hand," said Dr. Peter
Zec, initiator and CEO of the Red Dot Award. "This award by
the Red Dot jury documents their high design quality and is
indicative of their successful design policy."
Diebold Nixdorf's systems
are designed to create seamless consumer experiences with solutions
ideal for any retail environment. The EASY eXpress self-checkout
solution can be used as an interactive kiosk or a payment terminal
with a compact design that meets the industry's demand for a
miniaturized footprint. The EASY Smart Pay self-checkout solution
was designed for electronic payments and enables consumers to scan
and bag their items and pay using a mobile app, credit or debit
card.
"For Diebold Nixdorf, these awards are supportive of our
strategy to define the future of connected commerce," said Thomas
Fell, senior vice president, retail, Diebold Nixdorf. "Our solutions are developed
with both the retailer and consumer in mind to challenge

About the Red Dot Design Award
To
reflect diversity in the field of design and ensure a professional
appraisal, the Red Dot Design Award is broken down into three
disciplines – Red Dot Award: Product Design, Red Dot Award:
Communication Design and Red Dot Award: Design Concept. The Red Dot
Award is organized by Design Zentrum Nordrhein-Westfalen. Dating
back to 1955, when the first jury came together to appraise the
best designs of the time, it is now one of the biggest design
competitions in the world. In the 1990s, Red Dot CEO Dr.
Peter Zec came up with the name and
trademark of the award. Since then, the sought-after Red Dot Award
is a renowned international seal of outstanding design quality.
