Helios Hoist:
Helios is a compact automated hoist ideal for smaller venues where space is a premium. The design team focused on easy to access panels and operation lights that’s provide diagnostic capabilities with ease-of-use serviceability.
SceneControl 12:
This was more than just a tablet design challenge, as the controllers are tethered and require one handed operation with a ‘hold-to-run’ safety button that requires constant pressure to keep the unit operational. SF designers prototyped multiple hand grip systems that worked for both left and right-handed users, while also being comfortable for long periods of use. The design and engineering team also packaged all the electrical components and designed a simple User Interface that was easy to operate in the dark.
