Vitfit treo customisation
Initial Prototyping/Proof of concept:
This customer presented us with a large breadboard with wired circuitry. Initially they required us to re-build into large hand-held units for proof of concept and initial end-user feedback.
Our in-house manufacturing business took the breadboard circuity and produced a few functional prototypes for the customer.
Design input to miniaturise the product to become hand-held:
Our customer reported back with positive feedback from the potential client-base. The specification was to miniaturise the POC design into a central hub and small hand-held controllers. Our design engineers were able to take on this project and miniaturise the initial proof-of-concept product.
Standard Enclosure Selection (Matching Hub and Controller):
Controller enclosure – CHH802NWH
Hub Enclosure – CHH803NWH
The 80’s series slim plastic enclosures are moulded in UL94-HB ABS, are IP40 and are available in three sizes. They have a recess in the base for product labels, keypads and overlays and can be supplied with a battery compartment.
Enclosure Customisation:
As this product was due to be sent out to the customers directly, it was crucial that the final design had strong branding made the product user-friendliness.
We therefore added two rectangular cut outs to each enclosure.
Approval/Prototype Enclosures:
The electronics design was approved and we also designed and supplied a suitable embedded keypad. The keypad was manufactured with a waterproof adhesive to ensure the final hand-held design was impervious to moisture if it encountered liquids in it’s use. We also integrated a silicon boot to absorb any impact damage if dropped.
Manufacturing/Test:
Moving into volume production, the manufacturing team at our sister manufacturing business, K2A Electronic Manufacturing Services, manufactured the Hub and Controllers in the initial volumes required, ramping up to larger scale production.
Final Packaging & Distribution:
We supplied all of the materials and packaging for end-customer facing POS and set up the logistics of delivering directly to the end customers.
