ECOVACS ROBOTICS NAMED AS 2015 CES INNOVATION AWARDS HONOREE
“Ecovacs Robotics is honored to receive the esteemed CES Innovation Award honoring outstanding design and engineering in consumer technologyâ€
Canton, OH, November 2014 - Ecovacs Robotics announced that it has been named a 2015 CES Innovation Awards Honoree for the RAYBOT, the Water-Free Solar Panel Cleaning Robot. Products entered in this prestigious program are judged by a preeminent panel of independent industrial designers, independent engineers and members of the trade media to honor outstanding design and engineering in cutting edge consumer electronics products across 28 product categories.
The RAYBOT from Ecovacs Robotics is a new environmentally friendly robot designed to effortlessly clean solar panels. Capable of cleaning commercial and utility-scale solar photovoltaic panels up to a 75-degree angle, the RAYBOT safely sweeps, blows and vacuums the panels to remove dust and dirt, ensuring that the maximum amount of sunlight is exposed to the panels to produce energy.
"Ecovacs Robotics is honored to receive the esteemed CES Innovation Award honoring outstanding design and engineering in consumer technology," said Jeff Mellin, director of marketing for Ecovacs Robotics. "Solar power has become one of the most rapidly implemented renewable sources of electricity for homes and businesses around the world. However, many people forget that dust and dirt can hinder the energy output because it blocks the suns rays. The RAYBOT can help ensure that solar photovoltaic panel systems are always clean for optimum performance."
The prestigious CES Innovation Awards are sponsored by the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA), the producer of the International CES, the global gathering place for all who thrive on the business of consumer technology, and have been recognizing achievements in product design and engineering since 1976.
Ecovacs Robotics will display the RAYBOT at the 2015 International CES, which runs Jan. 6-9, 2015, in Las Vegas, Nevada at booth #26014 in the Unmanned Systems Marketplace LVCC South Hall (Ground Floor). Honorees were also displayed at CES Unveiled New York, which features dozens of exhibitors and networking opportunities on November 11 at the Metropolitan Pavilion, New York.
Entries are evaluated on their engineering, aesthetic and design qualities, intended use/function and user value, how the design and innovation of the product directly compares to other products in the marketplace and unique/novel features present.
Products chosen as CES Innovation Honorees reflect innovative design and engineering in some of the most cutting edge tech products and services coming to market. 2015 CES Innovation Honoree products are featured on CESweb.org/Innovation, which lists product categories, as well as each product name, manufacturer information, description, photo and URL.

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
