BORA

Classic 2.0 cooktop extractor system

Central control unit for all functions of the Classic 2.0 cooktop extractor system

Perfect UX design, innovative operating philosophy, modular system for individually combinable hobs.

Together with the BORA development engineers, U-Eperten designed, developed and industrialized the embedded system design for the operating elements and their surfaces. A wide variety of materials, such as glass, was tested for feasibility, functionality and safety. The perfect combination of materials was chosen and certified. An innovative, vertical touch slider was integrated into a smoothed trough on the surface, the Black Vision technology is hidden behind a jet black control panel. In standby mode, it is almost invisible and adapts perfectly to any kitchen environment.

BORA Classic 2.0 is a modular system that enables completely individual hob solutions. Various high-performance hobs such as surface induction, gas or Tepan stainless steel grill, can be freely combined with the extraction system. Even combinations with one, three or more hobs are easily feasible. The product has won all important design awards.

Modular platform for fully automatic coffee machines

Development of a modular platform for mapping an extensive product portfolio of professional fully automatic coffee machines. A quick adaptation to the needs of customers and operators in markets all over the world should be achieved by using a scalable electronics and software platform. The key to success is an extremely high re-use of existing components.

Development and further progression of standardized electronic assemblies for use in fully automatic coffee machines. Based on a central user interface design, the user interface for user-centric operation was paired with an extensive service menu for parameterizing the machine and optimizing the product experience. The robustness of the glass on the touchscreen was matched to the requirements of the food industry. Ultimately, the industrialization was successfully completed alongside the development of the platform itself.

Based on this concept, seven individually marketed coffee machines which largely share the same platform were created. The high level of component intercompatibility allows for easy adaptability for custom projects and perfect product maintenance. Today, the machines are successfully established in numerous well-known food chains and have won many design awards.

WATER PURIFICATION SYSTEM

Milli-Q® IQ 7000

Milli-Q® IQ 7000 is a water purification system for pharmaceutical, clinical, academic or industrial applications.

In order to further consolidate its exceptional position as the world market leader for laboratory water and water treatment systems, a new product family was to be developed based on the current portfolio.

A space-saving solution with a central filter unit. Up to four dispenser units equipped with HMI can be connected. A hybrid user interface of touchscreen and physical wheel for the perfect UX. Technological perfection and maximum user-friendliness are also reflected in the system’s appearance. The organic combination of straight lines and dynamic curves is an expression of absolutely precise, tailor-made industrial design.

MONKEY BOX

Monkey Box

Decentralized fundraising for social enterprises

The in-house developed IoT product shows how an idea becomes an MVP within 6 weeks.

Based on an initial idea, a physical MVP including cloud connection, crypto wallet, web platform and first test application for a social startup was developed in just a few weeks with the help of our MVP XP Sprint process.

The Monkey Box uses a simple example to make the interdisciplinary, agile character of U-Experten visible.

FIRING UNIT AND CONTROL UNIT

SMART.FIRE

Smart Fire Is a firing unit specially developed for the dental practice for all common chairside materials.

Compact construction, modern design, intuitive operation, reliable firing technology, durable housing and modular electronics

In a preliminary project, project-specific requirements (modular bus system, hardware, software) were examined for feasibility. After a successful feasibility analysis, an interdisciplinary team consisting of embedded system design, GUI software, application software, construction, industrial design and the customer’s application-specific specialists started. Overall development period 15 months up to system integration, series transition and the first series batch. Successful launch at the IDS in Cologne.

Successful market launch as a new product for professional dental practices. Winning a Red Dot Design Award. The system consists of the actual firing unit and a control unit with a touchscreen display and graphic user interface, which means that the two components can be positioned flexibly. Thanks to its compact design, the firing unit fits into almost any practice environment in a space-saving and harmonious manner. Reliable function with durable firing technology and a robust housing with sealed surfaces complete the system. Material selection and program start take place in just one step. Ideally coordinated programs are already pre-installed for all common chairside materials. The menu navigation is clear and takes place via self-explanatory program symbols. All-round visible status display.
