Red Dot for OPTIMA
OPTIMA filling and packaging machines GmbH (Schwaebisch Hall / Germany) is one of the winners of the renowned Red Dot design award. The prize was awarded for the ‘IS band’ machine status display.
Unforeseen machine down times of high performance packaging machines are expensive. The LED ribbons integrated into Optima machinery allow much quicker location of machine faults. The system permits a valuable one-glance overview of all functional areas, while signal colors indicate the door behind which a possible malfunction may have occurred. Compared to stack lights on machine tops requesting a machine check at the display, the operator gets to the critical point much faster. The design of the IS ribbon, which Optima offers optionally in many of its packaging machines, underlines the functional structure of their machinery and enhances the lines’ compact, clear and striking design.
The internationally distinguished Red Dot design prize was awarded to Optima for the ‘product design’ category. The machine status display convinced the international 30-member jury by its function just as much as by design. The jury reviewed a total of 4,515 products. One thousand eight hundred (1,800) manufacturers and designers from 58 countries participated in the contest. The official Red Dot awards show will be held in Essen, Germany on July 2.
