Challenge

DECTRIS is known globally as a leader in x-ray detection. They develop and manufacture the most accurate high-performance, hybrid-pixel x-ray and electron detectors. With an appreciation for design, they approached us to help create a system that would work in any laboratory or industrial environment.

Insight

After conducting market research and understanding user needs and their environments, it was clear that the system needed to be modular—every lab or industrial environment had their own unique needs and space constraints.

We designed a modular, compact family of products that could be expanded and adjusted to any environment. The rounded edges and the blue frontal frame emphasize the product features. And the environmentally conscious sheet metal housing is service-friendly during transport and use in the high-tech environment.
