Refrigerator Design | ICBX – Rollin Cold! | LA NPDT
ICBX
CLIENT
This project for refrigerator design and electronic product development was a result of a collaboration between the LA NPDT team and ICBX Company. ICBX is based in Shreveport, Louisiana and it develops refrigeration solutions for automobiles, as well as other accessories. They came to us not only for our electronics design services, but they also needed our expertise in a few other areas.
CHALLENGE
ICBX approached our team when they already had their initial prototype built. They brought it for evaluation and development of several solutions. Firstly, we needed to redesign the product to make it manufacturable. Secondly, it needed an appropriate electronic product design to function flawlessly. Therefore, our team needed to develop a functional and appealing refrigerator design and create an energy-efficient cooling system for it. Lastly, it was important to ensure that the ICBX would be adaptable to several popular truck models.
THE SOLUTION
As soon as we had the prototype at our disposal, we went straight to work on electronic product development. Both teams came together to determine the necessary features for the electronic product design. We focused on the features that would provide the most value to our target customer. One of these features is the mobile app that allows you to control the ICBX remotely. We utilized the best insulator available – aerogel – notably used in spacecraft. This was used to create an effective refrigerator design, as well as make manufacturing easier.
THE RESULT
Through our electronic product development efforts, we were able to design an ICBX that is reliable, efficient, and effective. We also analyzed several trucks within our target market, so we now sure that the ICBX can be properly installed into all of them. This project was a true team effort between the two companies.
