Cadex Electronics
The patented Spectro™ Rapid Battery Analyzer by CADEX Electronics is able to deeply diagnose battery health in under 1 minute, whereas competing systems take hours and with far less accuracy and capability. Already a product in its initial form when Altimus was engaged, we were asked to take the base design and integrate critically important new features while giving the product a functional and seriously rugged new image.
Redesign Cadex Electronics’ patented Spectro™ Rapid Battery Analyzer to target discerning Tier 1 automotive suppliers looking for a rapid battery testing solution.
The Cadex Spectro™ EIS Rapid Battery Tester was reinvented as an essential Tier 1 diagnostic instrument, used in factory authorized service centres and dealerships. It combined the client’s core technology with function-first industrial design, reflecting its use in a tough, unforgiving, mission-critical environment.
We were approached by Cadex Electronics, a world-renowned provider of battery diagnostic solutions for more than 40 years, and the author of the #1 online authority for battery knowledge Battery University to design a new battery testing solution. This client project was a great pleasure to be a part of—it is gratifying to see an industry leader and technology stalwart in our local region get well deserved recognition for patented technology that is starting to reveal its true potential.
Throughout the design process, Altimus was provided feedback based on client experience and client end customer feedback. These inputs, combined with our own insights on how the device was intended to be used and by whom, led to several design concepts addressing function-first ergonomics and provided solutions for the integration of some large components in a comparatively small and constrained space.
