Designing an AI enabled security device for Ford
June 20, 2023
Helping Ford take their security hardware to production, through industrial design, manufacturing, and packaging.
We collaborated with Ford’s product team to design an intuitive casing that securely housed all components and adapted seamlessly to both trucks and vans. Additionally, we created easy to use packaging and installation instructions for frictionless user installation and supported them through mass manufacturing.
Industrial design
We researched, prototyped, and designed a sensor and battery unit to accommodate its ideal location and fixture within the vehicle. While accounting for it's visual language to convey intelligence and sturdiness.
Packaging
We developed a packaging system that enables first time customers to easily mount and setup the device in their vehicles with minimal support intervention.
Design for Manufacture
Our industrial design team collaborated closely with Ford’s product development team all the way to production, ensuring that the industrial design was not compromised during the manufacturing process.
