The project objective was to create a unique, smart, low-cost gas detector in two distinct forms; XRL, which needed to meet the demanding safety and technical standards of industrial environments, and XCL, designed to complement the aesthetic and architectural qualities of commercial interiors.
Through the inclusion of smart connectivity, the XRL and XCL are an integrated part of a facility management ecosystem rather than just standalone devices.
The Bluetooth connectivity to a Smartphone App paves the way for new efficiencies in installation, commissioning and maintaining.
"We approach the solution holistically, designing digital and physical experiences together"
Mathew Bates, Design Director at Design Partners
Our work across the industrial design, mechanical engineering, user interface and packaging design brought a holistic approach to problem solving and delivering efficiency.
“The guiding principal is to understand human behaviour so that we can help people achieve what they want more easily and effectively. Industrial environments involve multiple stakeholders, each with their own needs."
