CASE STUDIES
Here at Alogus, we like to say that we are "industry agnostic," meaning we are poised to tackle whatever engineering challenges you send our way, regardless of the industry you serve. While we are always willing to take on projects at any stage of development, our client projects typically fall into one of three categories: high volume consumer products, medium volume industrial machinery, and low volume automation equipment. Click on each category to see case studies associated with each, or peruse our photo gallery to see all the projects we've worked on!
High Volume
Consumer Products
This category of projects includes products intended to be sold in traditional retail in quantities of 10,000+ per year to individual consumers. These products often consist of injection molded parts and tightly toleranced machined components. The user experience is crucial for these products, so they go through multiple rounds of industrial design to achieve desired look, feel, and function. These projects typically take HOW LONG?? to deliver a polished finished product.
Medium Volume
Industrial Machinery
This category of projects includes machinery intended to be sold in 100s or low 1,000s per year and installed in locations like offices, schools, and factories. These machines often consist of sheet metal and machined parts, custom electromechanical components, sensors, and custom PCBS. These machines go through multiple full system design iterations to improve form and function until they are ready to hand off to a contract manufacturer to make them in large quantities.
Low Volume
Automation Equipment
This category of projects includes equipment used to automate workflows in R&D, factory, laboratory, or similar settings, not to be sold as a product. This automated equipment consists of mostly off the shelf components like motors, actuators, and PLCs along with a few custom machined and sheet metal components. Design for ease of use for operator is crucial here, rather than aesthetics. These projects involve the building of only about 2-3 units and take just a few months to complete.
