SHERIDAN, WYOMING – July 30, 2025 – Busch-Jaeger’s latest smart motion detector, the Busch-Wächter® PRO, has received two major international accolades for its fusion of cutting-edge security technology and architectural design. The product was honored with both the German Design Award 2025 and the iF Design Award 2025, signaling its growing impact in the building technology and smart infrastructure sectors.
Smart motion detection meets award-winning design
Unlike traditional motion detectors that prioritize function over form, the Busch-Wächter® PRO elevates security integration by blending seamlessly into modern building environments. The jury of the German Design Award praised the device as “a harmonious fusion of functionality and aesthetic appeal,” noting how its form factor supports diverse mounting styles — whether round or angular — to suit various architectural contexts.
The motion detector’s success also reflects a broader trend: increased demand for smart, design-conscious infrastructure that does not compromise on performance. The iF Design Award jury emphasized sustainability and innovation among the standout qualities from a competitive pool of nearly 11,000 entries from 66 countries.
Technical innovation with architectural flexibility
Beyond its visual appeal, the Busch-Wächter® PRO stands out for its versatile technical features:
- Flexible installation for indoor or outdoor use, with both corner and wall mounting options
- Sleek, minimalist design language compatible with modern and heritage architecture
- Integrated smart control via mobile app for personalized detection zones and scheduling
- High-performance sensor technology ensuring accurate presence detection and lighting control
These capabilities enable a new level of customizability and ease-of-use for electrical planners, building operators, and installers seeking modular, secure, and elegant motion control systems.
Design recognition drives B2B product value
The dual award win positions Busch-Jaeger as a leader in the intersection of electrical installation and industrial design — a rare but increasingly valued niche in the B2B smart building space. As buildings shift toward more integrated and automated systems, visual coherence becomes a functional necessity, not a luxury.
“These awards show: good design means more than aesthetics,” said Dörte Thinius, Head of Product Design at Busch-Jaeger. “It emerges when form and function fit perfectly together. That’s exactly what sets the Busch-Wächter® PRO apart. It combines intelligent technology with a clean, adaptable design, making security and comfort in buildings more intuitive than ever before.”
Smart building sector focuses on design-forward infrastructure
The recognition also reflects a wider market shift: Building owners and architects increasingly seek solutions that not only perform well but also enhance the visual and spatial harmony of spaces. In that context, the Busch-Wächter® PRO’s flexible form and intelligent interface deliver competitive value to commercial real estate, hospitality, and institutional facility projects.
Future-ready positioning for modern electrical infrastructure
With these prestigious awards, Busch-Jaeger reinforces its strategic direction toward intelligent building solutions that prioritize both user experience and system scalability. This aligns with industry demands for:
- Decentralized, app-integrated control systems
- Energy-efficient motion-sensing technologies
- Seamless architectural integration of safety devices
- Compliance with modern sustainability benchmarks
