Case Study - Project Feature

Idea works with a large and diverse range of clients, across a number of different industry sectors. Here are some featured case studiy examples of the many projects we have helped to make a reality from concept design to manufacture.

Electronic Products - Spider SX

Idea’s work in Electronic Product design extends from electronic enclosures, to integrated complex and complete functional/engineered products.

Project - Spider SX

The Client is the world leading provider of satellite-based real-time flight tracking. Their original product transformed the industry, but they approached Idea wanting to update their product that would leapfrog their previous model.
For this product user interface was the most important part; it had to be non-intrusively mounted in order to not distract the pilot while flying, and easy to access the SOS when in an emergency. It also had to be extremely strong to survive huge impact, and perform as a data transmitter and receiver to the highest capacity. To achieve all of these criteria Idea first worked on presenting the conceptual expected outcome for approval and created prototypes with close collaboration and co-development of PCBA. On completion Idea produced production tools, quality control specification with ongoing production supply (Idea-China) to the client.
