ISGUS News 34_final

ISGUS has already been nominated and awarded with popular design awards in the past. The Terminal Series IT 8200 has received awards from Red Dot Design, iF De- sign, and the German Design Award. It is not surprising therefore that the success story does not come to an end because the multifunctional terminal IT 8260 is being awarded the German Design Award for 2018. What distinguishes good design? Good design is the aesthetic case for an innovative product. „Design follows function“ is the guiding prin- ciple that ISGUS has also pursued in product design. A product that is simple and intuitive to understand and to use, gains additional consideration and acceptance through good design. The design of products such as Time Recording terminals or access readers must be modern but at the same time also timeless and should be discreetly integrated into the surroundings of a foyer and wherever Time Recording takes place, i.e. in an office environment as well as in production sites. Without exception, such a product must be consistently designed down to the last detail, since the „inner values“ also belong to a coherent product design. For the nomination and award, the respective expert committees of the judicial panel also evaluate the technical features. Thus, the terminal series IT 8200 was designed with regard to service friendliness, energy efficiency and complete administration via Internet. Connectivity refers to the connection potential for network, Wifi, scanner, etc., which are available in each terminal. Encrypted data transmission and the protec- tion against any loss of data are further features which characterise ISGUS terminals. Good design is therefore part of the function a terminal fulfils. IT 8200 terminals not only record working times and absence times but can also be used for Access Cont- rol and even as an Access Control controller for connec- ted access readers. ISGUS terminals are easy to use making time bookings, retrieving information or recording operating data. Good design is more than just the visual impression of a device, good design makes you want to use it.
