HydraTune
Making hydraulics maintenance safe
HydraTune is a wireless hydraulic tuning system for heavy machinery in the mining industry. The goal is to remove technicians away from dangerous equipment using devices that transmit critical sensor data and allow tuning adjustments to be made remotely.
Building the brand
HydraTune came to us with an existing logo that we broke down, researched, and updated. We then created a brand around that new design, delivering a colour palette, business cards, pitch template, and a website.
More than a metal box
For the equipment-mounted devices, we created a functional design with lots of features according to the client’s needs, such as a removable battery and drop resistance. But the job didn’t end there. We gave it a premium look and feel using anodised machined aluminium to appeal to the target market.
Our UI/UX and Mechanical teams collaborated to make these designs manufacturable before they were prototyped in our own workshop.
Powered by Cranio
HydraTune features our internally developed IoT data logging and control system, Cranio. This sped up development of electronics, firmware, fixtures, and software, enabling rapid product trials.
Native Application
Our app engineers developed a robust app that enables qualified technicians to diagnose issues and tune hydraulics systems remotely. The interface includes a control box, flow meter, and actuator control. It is an essential part of the system, coming pre-installed on a rugged tablet.
