Hotel room controls - New product development
3Minds were approached by an existing customer to help develop control equipment for a new hotel being constructed in Birmingham City centre. The new hotel is to open micro-rooms designed to feel like cabins on board a luxury yacht.
The controls are used to operate environmental parameters such as heating, ventilation and lighting as well as an intercom. The control interface is mounted on the room wall and linked back to the control gear installed in the service corridors.
3Minds developed the control electronics, firmware, and mechanical structure and provided technical support throughout the CE and LVD approvals.
Environmental monitoring equipment - Reverse engineering and manufacturing
3Minds have developed a new printed circuit board for a Redditch based company that will replace an obsolete design from the US. The pcb is used in equipment that monitors environmental conditions for business critical IT installations.
The new circuit board will use the existing firmware code to run and will allow the overall system to continue to be made for years to come. The design allowed additional benefits to be incorporated whilst maintaining the original form factor. These include;
- Ease of manufacture.
- Cost reduction.
3Minds are currently providing batch manufacture of this product.
