Designing the futur of industrial systems

less than 1 minute read

Industrial systems are ugly. It is easy to do better. Everyone is speaking about Industry 4th revolution, but we are not in the future. Everything is still ugly.

Of two products that are the same in price, function and quality, whichever is more beautiful will sell better

Raymond Lowee, 1929


Beauty sells.
Making a nice looking product is not so much expansive than an ugly one, but it will sell better.

I designed a quality control system which looks like an eye. To continue on personification motto, it is called it TheEye. It’s a sphere, with a central hole for the camera and annular lighting for maximum efficiency.

Then, as a sphere, the design constraints the hardware integration. Most electronics are square shaped, so you lose a bit of space.
