We began by considering the overall system architecture of the design. This design integrated a motor, battery, several PCBAs, several cables, and a 3-way ball valve. We arranged the components in a way that would be easy to assemble, minimized the overall footprint of the housing, and was ingress protected.

We fabricated a mock housing using 3D printing to test the assembly process, the functionality of the design and the ingress protection

The design was then optimized for production. Final materials, finishes, and colors were selected and the tooling was carefully analyzed to ensure that the production parts would look beautiful and assemble easily.

The production units are used in commercial buildings to track water usage and to remotely reduce or shutoff flow when a leakage occurs.
