The company is set to launch 29 new devices later this year, and has focused on leading the digital print technology and services market to enable communication and connection become easier for customers, resulting in more productivity.
Steve Hoover, CTO of Xerox, said: “Since its founding more than 100 years ago, Xerox has been a company built upon innovation. With more than 12,000 active US patents and a focus on setting the page free, we are finding new ways to improve the flow of work in the office be it in digital or paper form and developing new ways to print not only on paper, but even directly onto complex objects or directly print electronics for smart labels and packaging.
“This has been a stellar year for Xerox and our innovation team. We continue to be one of the world’s top 20 patent recipients, we have launched exciting new products like the Xerox Brenva HD Production Inkjet Press, the Direct to Object Inkjet Printer, the Xerox Healthcare Multifunction Printer Solution, the 6515 A4 colour printer (and we have received continuing recognition for our people like PARC scientist Alex Hegyi, who was named by MIT Technology Review in its list of top innovators under 35.”
