Digital Component in Craft Trades [Part III]

The result of our concept development process is a multi-purpose product that forms a harmonious unit with a table laser, a sensor ring, and the drill. This combination significantly simplifies the drilling process for users. The sensor ring acts as the central interaction element. In addition, we have carefully considered and designed design elements. These include ventilation openings, strategically placed batteries, and a more compact laser. Particular attention was paid to the integration of typography and textures, as well as to the separation joints between the components and the power supply. The result of this process step is detailed product graphics.

The functionality of the sensor ring is highlighted during wall scanning. The ring acts as a useful aid and connects the planning phase directly to the drilling process by analyzing the wall as an independent testing device. A green LED ring indicates that the drilling location is safe, while a red signal indicates potential obstacles such as pipes. The app also provides detailed information about the condition of the wall and recommends the appropriate drill bit.

Storytelling plays a crucial role at this stage of development. Here, we have the opportunity to develop a brand vision for specific customers or product lines and integrate it into an existing corporate identity. Such a vision makes the concept even more tangible in the respective context and provides a basis on which design details can be discussed.

Finally, we would like to show how the product development process can continue at this point. The focus here is on the use of 3D mockups for testing and intensive cooperation with production. The vision for our product world can be continuously developed—for example, through the idea of making the sensor ring usable for other systems as well by adding a laser projector attachment. These steps underscore our commitment to continuously developing and adapting innovative solutions.
