Statement by the Red Dot jury
The secret ingredients to win
User-centricity
To suit users’ needs, portable X-ray systems need to be as lightweight and ergonomic as possible, while delivering increased X-ray output and withstanding extreme conditions. A challenge engineers from the portable X-ray hub in Copenhagen, Denmark, and the X-ray tube R&D team in Flamatt, Switzerland, took on, reducing the product weight by over nine kilograms in comparison to its predecessor.
Collaboration & Curiosity
By combining the insights from the end-users and the expertise of the engineers combined with the design touch from the marketing team, we were able to create a product that not only meets but exceeds the expectations of the market, seamlessly blending design, functionality and innovation.
A collaborative success story that reflects the power of teamwork and innovative thinking within Comet. By bridging the gap between theory and reality, and envisioning the future of portable X-ray systems, our teams have not only improved a product but have opened doors to entirely new possibilities. This is a testament to the belief that curiosity, coupled with collaboration, can lead to groundbreaking innovations that reshape the future of technology.
«The ECO Series is not only a triumph of ergonomic and technological design but also a step forward in our commitment to sustainability.»

The ECO Series
The ECO Series is a new product range of portable X-ray systems. It’s mainly used in the oil & gas and aerospace industry to inspect pipelines, welds, corrosions, or on-site service inspections on airplanes.
It's 9 kilograms lighter than its predecessor and can therefore be used as a one-person tool – creating smarter workflows for our customers.
