From Idea to Product:
Smart Devices and Electro-mechanical Tools

We solve conceptual and engineering challenges in creating new devices and tools.

Our core specialization is generating ideas for new products and tools in the following areas: wearable devices and personal gadgets, remote control and monitoring, joysticks and control panels, IoT, smart tools, rescue equipment, and safety sensors for workers.

It’s very important to consider business goals, user needs, and technical or manufacturing limits when creating a product concept. To ensure this, our team includes industrial designers, analysts, engineers (mechatronics, electronics), and software developers.

What's going on next? After the concept phase, we create prototypes and begin a phased handoff of the project to the client's teams or create new teams for the client.

personal emergency receiver for lifeguards

Personal Emergency Receiver for Beach Lifeguards

This device is part of our system designed to prevent accidents at beach resorts.

The emergency receiver (pager) is a personal wearable device for lifeguards and operates on a dedicated local radio network deployed on the beach, independent of external mobile operators. The device case is waterproof and shock-resistant.

During the development of this device, we focused on solving the challenge of instantly alerting all lifeguards located near the incident site.

Our pager receives an emergency signal from one of the rescue call terminals placed along the beach. The signal contains information about the terminal number (which determines the coordinates of the incident), the list of emergency services requested (lifeguard, medical team, or police), and the time of the call.

The pager interface allows lifeguards to quickly confirm receipt of the alert. This confirmation is sent to the central dispatch center, and the terminal displays an estimated time of arrival.

lifebuoy with remote control, rescue buoy

Lifebuoy with remote control for high-wave conditions

We developed this personal rescue device (lifebuoy, rescue buoy) to help people drowning in stormy weather conditions.

When waves exceed 1-1.5 meters in height, rescuing a person becomes significantly more difficult — even if it happens close to shore and lifeguards are present. In such conditions, every second counts, and preparing traditional rescue equipment can take too much time.

Our lifebuoy is equipped with electric water jets and a remote-control system featuring lights, beacons, and a camera, allowing it to operate effectively in high waves and low-visibility situations.

A key feature of our design is its shape, specially created for stormy waters and large waves. The buoy has an easy-to-understand form and comfortable handles, so a exhausted person can quickly hold on and stay on it safely.

electronic control handle design and product development

Development of control handle for jet surfboard

An electric surfboard is similar to a traditional surfboard but equipped with powerful batteries and a water jet powered by an electric motor, allowing the rider to reach speeds of up to 60 km/h on the water.

A special handle is attached to a tensioned rope connected to the front of the board. It helps the rider maintain balance and control while also serving as a throttle for the jet.

Our task was to develop a control handle that would combine the functions: the ability to control with one hand (only the thumb and index finger can be used in the control), sealed and shock-resistant shell design, the ability to clearly and smoothly adjust the thrust (flexible rubber covers on the thrust control element complicate the control), display information about the parameters of operation, recording time stamps and gps-trajectory of the surf.

We have successfully developed the concept of this control element, technical solutions for the fabrication of a sensitive and sealed thrust regulator, created an interface with real-time parameter display, and fabricated a functional prototype of this control stick together with electronics and software.

design of thermal powered sensor for industrial appliacations

Autonomous wireless sensor for industrial applications

A key feature of this sensor is that it does not require external power via cable or the installation of replaceable batteries. Instead, it receives electrical power to function from the warm or cold pipe/tank that it is monitoring.

The only requirement for its operation is the temperature difference between the object on which it is placed and the outside temperature. But even in case the temperature of the object is no longer different from the outside temperature as a result of an accidental event - the sensor will continue to operate in the emergency mode from its own batteries, where the energy was stored during the period of normal operation.

The sensors are wirelessly networked or can operate using standard protocols for IoT devices, and the wire-free design makes installation and operation easy.

product design of a crane remote control with AI assistance

Product Design of a Crane Remote Control

In this project, we developed the concept of a portable remote control for a large overhead crane. The product is designed to optimize workflows at industrial plants where the crane is used multiple times a day for short operations, and the time it takes for the operator to access the cabin is comparable to the duration of loading or unloading tasks.

Our solution consists of two parts. First, we designed a user-friendly wearable control panel with displays that allows the operator to get an overview both from the camera in the crane cab and from additional external cameras.

Secondly, we developed the logic of the AI assistant integrated into the crane control system. This system allows us to increase safety in the loading area and increase the speed of work, as it counts loads in the augmented reality mode, suggests routes of their movement, but most importantly - it additionally checks that there are no people in the loading area and directly under the moving load.

Industrial Design for Electronic Products and Systems

Industrial design should not be limited to just creating attractive visuals. Ideally, the process begins with finding the core idea behind the product — what problem or need it is meant to solve for the user. Exploring different ways and forms of solving that problem helps identify the most effective and user-friendly solution, while creating mockups and prototypes enables early testing to evaluate the user experience with the new product.

All further technical solutions — including enclosure design, electronics, interface elements, and software — are layered onto this core foundation.

User Interface design for Digital Devices

The key to the success of any modern digital device or embedded system lies in a user-friendly interface.

We offer our clients not just product ideas, but well-developed concepts with selected interface options and device prototypes for testing and evaluation.
