We started with a concept: a sleeker version of the original Manager. The concept evolved into a complete redesign considering usability, installation, maintenance, manufacturing, scalability, upgradability – the whole DFX concept.

This is why industrial design matters. It enables customers to transform complex ideas into manufacturable, elegant products that meet demanding technical requirements and deliver real return on investment.
The Manager eventually branched into two products—the Manager and the Core – each designed from a shared foundation.
This outcome was not a cosmetic update, but the result of a rigorous, multidisciplinary effort aligning engineering, usability, manufacturing, and design.

Two generations – a lot of lessons learned and a multidisciplinary redesign
Industrial design remains one of the most underestimated contributors to product success. When applied thoughtfully, it bridges high-stakes engineering with intuitive, user-centered experiences.
