San Jose, February 12th, Flexiv was a winner of this year's iF DESIGN AWARD, the world-renowned design prize. The winning product, Flexiv RIZON, won in the discipline PRODUCT, in the INDUSTRY category. Each year, the world's oldest independent design organization, Hannover-based iF International Forum Design GmbH, organizes the iF DESIGN AWARD.
Flexiv RIZON won over the 78-member jury, made up of independent experts from all over the world, with its unique adaptivity, simple but aesthetical industrial design, brand-new product value. The competition was intense: 7,298 entries were submitted from 56 countries in hopes of receiving the seal of quality.
RIZON is the world's first adaptive robot that fuses high-performance force control, computer vision and AI technology. It can adapt to changing and uncertain environments and automate complex tasks with 'hand-eye coordination' like human. Compared with traditional industrial robots and collaborative robots, Rizon has three distinguishing characteristics including high tolerance for position variance, great disturbance rejection and transferable intelligence. Rizon brings the following value to the industry: simple but aesthetical design, better hand-eye coordination, more flexibility to production and more possibilities generated by AI. The winning of iF Design Award 2020 shows iF jury's recognition of Rizon's practical value and design philosophy.

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.
