Case Study: Custom Italtronic Solutions for Strato Pi Max
Introduction
Italtronic specializes in the production of custom plastic enclosures for electronic devices and is a leader in the number of standard versions available for DIN rail mounting. In this case study, we will examine how Italtronic collaborated with Sfera Labs, a company specializing in advanced electronic solutions, to provide a custom solution for the industrial controller Strato Pi Max, based on the Raspberry Pi CM4 module and the Zymbit SCM security module.
Challenge
Sfera Labs required a plastic enclosure that not only protected the internal electronics but was also easily installable on DIN rails, meeting the standards of home and industrial installations.
The specific requirements included:
- Use of UL-V0 certified plastic material (flame retardant), which is used in all our enclosure series;
- Ability to have a single enclosure already prepared to host different types of boards;
- Graphically customizable to easily recognize the manufacturer of the electronic device;
- Easy access for maintenance, updates, and board mounting;
- Compatibility with the design of the Strato Pi Max module and all expansion boards;
- Professional aesthetics that reflect the quality of the product.
Solution
Italtronic responded to these needs by adapting a plastic enclosure from our standard Modulbox XTS series, which perfectly met the requirements of Sfera Labs. Here's how we addressed the various challenges:
- Custom Design: The enclosure was machined with CNC processing specifically to house the Strato Pi Max module and all expansion boards, ensuring perfect integration and secure mounting while allowing for additional boards.
- DIN Rail Mounting: We identified the optimal size for the client's application from a range that spans from 1M to 15M, each with more than a dozen available shapes, exclusively for the Modulbox XTS series.
- Accessibility: The enclosure design includes easily removable access points to allow maintenance and device updates without compromising the safety and integrity of the enclosure.
- Aesthetics and Branding: The enclosure was designed with a modern and professional aesthetic, including the graphic customizations requested by Sfera Labs to reflect their brand and facilitate installation by the end user.
Results
The solution developed by Italtronic for Sfera Labs offers numerous benefits:
- Improved Protection: The device is now protected by a robust enclosure that ensures long-lasting durability and resistance in challenging industrial environments.
- Ease of Installation: Thanks to the DIN rail mounting system, Sfera Labs was able to reduce installation and maintenance times, increasing operational efficiency.
- Consistent Branding: The aesthetic customizations have strengthened the product's image, aligning perfectly with Sfera Labs' visual identity.
This case study demonstrates Italtronic's commitment to providing tailored solutions that meet the specific needs of our individual clients. Thanks to our expertise and attention to detail, we are able to develop products that not only meet but exceed expectations, ensuring both quality and innovation.
With Italtronic, you can count on mechanically and graphically customized plastic enclosures designed for the success of your next electronic project.
