Remote monitoring system — yellow handheld device on dark background

Remote monitoring system

Full industrial design project: research, concept, and development of a remote monitoring device for cathodic protection in pipelines and metal structures, reducing the need for on-site inspections.

As lead industrial designer, I developed a compact, durable enclosure tailored for outdoor performance and streamlined for mass production. The design balanced technical precision with manufacturability, ensuring seamless integration, protection, and scalability. This design background informs every render I make.

Services: Industrial design · Design for manufacturing
