Wi-Fi Radio Products - DT50
A unified product platform for industrial connectivity
Neratec develops industrial Wi-Fi solutions for applications in the rail, automotive, and manufacturing sectors. For the next generation of products, Sedax was commissioned to redesign an entire product family and develop a distinctive design language that reflects the company’s core values: robust, mobile, and secure.
Sedax developed a modular enclosure platform that combines industrial design, engineering, and consistency across the product family. This made it possible to create different product variants based on a common foundation while also establishing a strong, recognizable brand identity.
Challenge & Vision
The goal of the project was to redesign a product family consisting of three Wi-Fi devices based on a modular platform concept. Although all products are built on a common architecture, each variant required different connection configurations, LED layouts, and mounting solutions for indoor and outdoor use.
One product family, many requirements
The challenge was to develop a unified and scalable product family without limiting the flexibility needed to accommodate different technical requirements and future product variants. The goal was to create a common platform that could efficiently meet both current and future requirements.
Approach & Method
Through close collaboration between industrial design and engineering, Sedax developed a modular, three-part housing concept that combines flexibility, robustness, and scalability in a single platform.
The housing design combines die-cast aluminum components with an extruded aluminum profile, creating a durable, high-quality solution for use in demanding industrial environments.
Integrated sealing concepts ensure reliable IP65 protection, while the modular architecture allows for various product configurations and ensures a consistent design language across the entire product family.
Precision-engineered surfaces and a distinctive housing design not only optimize thermal management but also define a unique design language that embodies the brand values of mobility, reliability, and durability.
Dedicated areas for labeling and OEM-specific customizations expand the platform's flexibility and lay the foundation for a wide range of product variants within a consistent product family.
Results & Added Value
A consistent design language creates a high level of brand recognition across all product variants and strengthens brand perception.
Consistent Product Family Identity
A unified design language ensures a consistent look across all product variants and strengthens brand recognition and perception.
Flexible Platform Architecture
The modular housing system supports various product configurations, connection options, and mounting options within a single platform.
Rugged Industrial Performance
High-quality materials, IP65 protection, and optimized thermal properties ensure reliable operation in demanding industrial environments.
Future-Proof Product Design
The scalable platform simplifies future product enhancements, OEM customizations, and application-specific variants.
