Als hightech-startup was Staal Instruments op zoek naar een ontwerpbureau voor mechanische ontwerpen om hen te ondersteunen bij de ontwikkeling van een industriële, duurzame en slimme behuizing voor hun Cloud Level Radar-sensoren. Ze kwamen erachter dat samenwerken met professionals sneller en efficiënter verloopt en minder kopzorgen oplevert. Nu kunnen zij zich volledig richten op al hun andere technologische en commerciële uitdagingen bij het ontwikkelen en internationaal verkopen van hightechproducten.
We optimized the overall usability and logistics through a reduction in volume (frame and fabric backing), improved handling (dedicated flight cases), reduced set-up time (tool-less assembly), and increased flexibility (integrated graphics).
The first version was very successful (a 1 km wall was produced and used over a period of 7 years). When Nike changed its store identity, Nike commissioned us to upgrade the system to fit the new store design.
The smart doorbell design enables users to connect their doorbell to their phone. This project is a good example of how we introduce a lean start-up approach in established companies.
