Zebra’s MC9300, RS5100 and DS9308 are recognized by Australia’s most prestigious international design and innovation awards  

MELBOURNE, Australia – Sept. 30, 2020 – Zebra Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ: ZBRA), an innovator at the front line of business with solutions and partners that deliver a performance edge, today announced that its MC9300 ultra-rugged mobile computer, RS5100 single finger Bluetooth ring scanner, and DS9308 barcode scanner have been awarded the prestigious Good Design® Award Winner accolade in the Product Design Commercial and Industrial category.

Started in 1958, the annual Good Design® Awards is Australia’s oldest and most prestigious international awards program for design and innovation. It celebrates the best new products and services in the Australian market, excellence in architectural design, engineering, fashion, digital and communication design, design strategy, social impact design and young designers.

More than 55 Good Design® Awards jurors evaluated each entry according to a strict set of design criteria which covers ‘good design’, ‘design innovation’ and ‘design impact’.

The award-winning Zebra products were selected by the jury from amongst 835 submissions globally, and they include:

  • MC9300 ultra-rugged mobile computer - Designed to help the front line of warehouses, manufacturers, logistics providers and back-of-store retail environments capture their edge, Zebra’s flagship MC9300 is arguably the world’s best-selling Android enterprise mobile computer in the market today.
  • RS5100 single finger Bluetooth ring scanner - The RS5100 next-generation ring scanner is designed for use in customer-facing areas, warehouses, and distribution centers.

to meet evolving market needs,” said Joe White, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Enterprise Mobile Computing Business Unit, Zebra Technologies. “We are thrilled that the MC9300 has been recognized for its design and innovation by such a prestigious award.”
