Our Industrial Design Work

Precision Sports Devices - QBit

The inventors at Precision Sports Devices came to Design Elevation to help them develop the look and fit of their quarterback training device. This device helps quarterbacks improve their passing game by controlling where they look. We worked with them to develop a product that was both sporty and robust while also creating a unique look. Additionally, we helped them developed storage cases and the user interface for the tablet app. Look for the device to come out in 2018.

Ecotonix - GreenCycler

The Greencyler speeds up the process of turning food scraps into compost was the winner of the Pinnacle Award for the best-overall new product, design manufacturing, and marketing at the 2013 National Hardware Show.

The Greencyler was designed to be equally at home in a modern kitchen and a garden shed. We worked through several concepts to develop the most effective blades for shredding the food scraps. Explored multiple ergonomic solutions and optimized the size to fit under a kitchen cabinet. We designed 32 unique plastic, injection-molded, and sheet metal components for manufacturing and assembly.

Proxess - Cylindrical Lock

Design Elevation designed the exterior and interior trim for Proxess’ Intelligent Lock System.

Windsor Industries - Chariot iScrub 20

Winner of the ISSA/Interclean North America 2009 Innovation Award. “The Chariot iScrub 20 is more productive, more maneuverable and more intuitive than any other 20” floor scrubber.” – Their words, not ours.

The design group was given the goal of reshaping the market for 20” floor scrubbers. Extensive user-research enabled us to capture customer needs and identify a number of market opportunities. Numerous solutions were developed and tested to find those that best satisfied the market opportunities that were uncovered. In the end, improved controls, maneuverability and pure productivity were much improved over other 20” scrubbers in the same price range. Knowing your customers well and how to process your research info correctly can lead you to finding the next evolution in your market.

Clipper Duo Carpet Extractor

The Clipper Duo for Windsor Industries (Karcher North America) is a highly functioning, professional carpet cleaning machine. It can work as an extractor or as an interim cleaner and can be used in a “pull” configuration for small detailed area or a “push” configuration to cover large areas of carpet quickly and efficiently. In addition to optimized ergonomics and maneuverability the Clipper Duo has an intuitive control panel. The static, graphic user interface is designed to reduce use error and quick training. Production ready CAD models of the roto-molded tanks, injection molded and vacuum formed parts were designed in Pro Engineer Wildfire.

JLG Telehandler - Multi-Function Display

JLG, the world’s leading designer and manufacturer of access equipment, worked with us to develop the interface for their in cab multi-function display. Screens were developed to help in the safe operation of the telehandler by illustrating load, boom height and boom angle to alert the operator of tipping conditions for the vehicle. Custom screens were also developed for maintenance schedules, maintenance logs and to illustrate lube locations on the machine.

Additionally, an extensive menu was developed to customize the behaviors of the machine , including how fast the boom would accelerate when you moved its control lever.

Design Elevation can help in the development of Human Machine Interface, HMI, for your wheeled equipment or manufacturing equipment specific to your operator, maintenance personal.
