Vertex Product Development was entrusted with the design and engineering of the Shark MF-200, an additional member of the Shark multi-meter family. Leveraging custom-designed aluminum extrusion profiles, Vertex's engineering team anticipated future expansions within the product family, streamlining the development process for new meter configurations.
The versatility of the aluminum extrusions allowed for varying the length to accommodate different meter configurations without the need for additional investment in extrusion dies. This approach not only optimized manufacturing efficiency but also facilitated scalability for future product iterations.
Ergonomics and ease of production were paramount considerations in the design of the Shark MF-200. The integration of PC boards, front and back plates, and end caps into the extrusions ensured straightforward assembly and maintenance. The modular design enabled seamless servicing, contributing to enhanced usability and reduced downtime for end-users.
By prioritizing both functionality and manufacturability, Vertex Product Development successfully delivered a user-friendly and adaptable meter solution, underscoring their commitment to innovation and efficiency in product design and engineering.
