AXIS Pro – Hungarian Design Award 2020

AXIS Pro – Design Award 2020

In addition to the applied cutting-edge technologies, design also plays an increasingly important role in the production line machine market. And Losonczi Innovation intended to be among the first to present cutting-edge technology in the adequate design.

When designing the outer casing of the AXIS PRO measuring device, it was important that the design reflected the many years of engineering that Losonczi Innovation had invested in the development of the measuring machine. Nothing proves better that AXIS PRO has achieved this goal than the fact that in 2020 it won the special award of the Hungarian Intellectual Property Office at the Hungarian Design Award Gala

In the design competition organized as part of the Budapest Design Week, we applied with the following competition video in cooperation with Remion Design Studio.

In the short film presenting our AXIS Pro measuring device, our general manager, István Losonczi, describes the operation of the axis measuring machine and it’s also self-developed software, as well as the course we took from the initial ideas to the design prize winning plans.
