DESCRIPTION

Plexus, a startup in the field of cloud services and home networking, has requested the design and technical development of the enclosure for their new product. Throughout the process, we have taken into account both technical and customer-oriented requirements for the housing. The large front grille ensures optimal airflow, the oversized button enhances usability, and the side panel contributes to better heat dissipation (and of course, it all looks very sleek 😉). From idea to prototype, ODES has supported the entire process.

HOW WE RUN OUR PROCESS

01
User-Centered Design

Understanding the end-users was crucial. The team conducted user research, interviews, and surveys. They identified pain points, preferences, and expectations related to home automation.

02
Design Exploration and Iteration:

The team explored multiple design directions. They experimented with different geometric patterns, materials, and finishes. Prototyping played a pivotal role. Physical mock-ups and 3D models allowed designers to evaluate ergonomics, proportions, and visual harmony.

03
Material Selection and Aesthetics:

The choice of materials influenced both form and function. Lightweight yet durable materials were essential.

04
CAD Modeling and Visualization:

Using computer-aided design (CAD) software, the team created detailed 3D models. These models allowed them to visualize the server from all angles. Renderings and animations help to communicate the design to stakeholders.

05
Prototyping and Testing:

Physical prototypes were fabricated. These prototypes underwent rigorous testing

06
Launch and Post-Launch Evaluation:

The server entered the market. User feedback and real-world usage informed any necessary updates. Continuous improvement ensured the Plexus Mini Server remained a cutting-edge solution.
