The 2026 Professional winner in the Commercial & Industrial Equipment<\/a> is Concerto Platform<\/a>, designed by Loft Design for Codetta Bio. The Concerto\u2122 platform is an integrated, high-throughput biodetection system developed by Loft Design in partnership with Codetta Bio to address the fragmented, multi-instrument workflows that slow down scientific discovery in modern laboratories. By consolidating detection from a single sample into one seamless system, Concerto reduces the need for specialized expertise and manual data alignment\u2014delivering uncompromising sensitivity while tackling the inefficiencies caused by understaffing and rising workloads.<\/p>\n

Jury Captain Vineet Thuvara had this to say about the design: “Concerto Platform stood out for its end-to-end design thinking – from the precision of the benchtop hardware to the intuitive software workflow to the thoughtful packaging – demonstrating that a complex instrument can feel effortless in a researcher’s hands. In a field where scientists typically juggle multiple instruments and fragmented workflows, the designers reimagined the entire experience as a single, cohesive platform that delivers clear, scalable value without sacrificing technical depth.”<\/p>\n

The Student Commercial & Industrial Equipment<\/a> winner is MX Surgical \u2013 Tactile XR Surgical Training<\/a> from Niklas Andreasen at the Ume\u00e5 Institute of Design. MX Surgical is a mobile, scalable XR training system that combines multimodal surgical tool replicas, modular pads, and mixed-reality overlays to enable realistic, repeatable surgical practice across different settings\u2014directly addressing the shortage of hands-on training opportunities for surgical residents. Unlike existing XR training tools that rely on generic controllers and neglect the physical reality of open surgery, MX Surgical is designed to build the motor skills and muscle memory essential for operating room readiness.<\/p>\n

The jury for Commercial & Industrial Equipment<\/a> was led by Vineet Thuvara, Chief Product Officer at Fluke Corporation. Joining them were Jan Raken, Senior Principal at Nike; Kevin Marshall, Senior Director of Design, Packaging and Content at Microsoft; Sena Janky, UX Manager at Fluke; and Young Kim, Director of Design at Amazon.<\/p>\n

Commercial Equipment Award Honorees<\/p>\n

The 2026 C<\/a>ommercial & Industrial Equipment<\/a> category celebrates the operational equipment and systems that keep public, commercial, industrial, medical, and scientific work running, encompassing everything from precision instruments and diagnostic devices to construction tools, transaction kiosks, and the hardware professionals depend on every day. <\/p>\n
