A leading robotics company asked Triple Crown to develop a product to enhance their robot’s demonstrations and field operations. The client’s engineering group did not have the time or resources to build the urgent solution that was needed.
The Challenge
After developing a revolutionary robot, the client’s team faced an unexpected challenge during demonstrations. While traveling, they lacked a reliable, high-power charging solution, limiting their ability to showcase the robot’s full capabilities. Recognizing that their internal engineering team was fully dedicated to further product development, the company’s Engineering Director sought an external partner to design and manufacture a specialized portable charger. Triple Crown was able to address their critical need.
Triple Crown Solution
Triple Crown’s team of experts swiftly developed a comprehensive proposal outlining a full-scale plan to design, manufacture, and deliver ten custom charging units. This proposal included a detailed project timeline, key milestones, and an extensive scope of work. Leveraging deep expertise in Electrical Engineering (EE) Power and Mechanical CAD.
Triple Crown’s engineers accelerated development with a structured and efficient approach to deliver:
- Rapid Prototyping: Engineering development began in June and was successfully completed by the year’s end.
- Innovative Design: A compact, carry-on-sized 1500-watt charger capable of both powering the client’s robot and enabling rapid recharging for seamless demonstrations.
- Advanced Features: Integrated LCD display that provides real-time feedback and incorporates advanced thermal management for optimal cooling, ensuring safety and efficiency.
- Manufacturing & Validation: Following successful prototype testing, Triple Crown collaborated with a trusted manufacturer to produce the remaining units and conduct final quality validation testing. Anticipating potential future orders, our team designed the charger for scalable manufacturing. This included extensive documentation and standardized procedures to ensure consistent quality for future production needs.
