Project - SunScout Pro-Mower

Our client, a pioneering solar company called SunScout, is dedicated to eliminating fossil fuels and achieving maximum environmental sustainability across robotic systems, vehicles, and mobile machinery.

SunScout approached Idea to design and develop a new solar-powered robotic lawn mower for their product range.
Collaborating closely with the client’s suppliers and in-house manufacturing team, Idea's industrial design and engineering team followed a strategic New Product Development (NPD) program to deliver an innovative mower design.
Utilising Design for Manufacture (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) techniques, our engineering design team developed detailed 3D CAD assembly models, transforming concepts into engineered products with prototype development, ready for manufacturing 'hand-over' and finished product distribution via SunScout's global sales network.
