Service: Industrial Design and Mechanical Engineering (inhouse)
Client: Honeywell
Product designer for development and industrialization of the QP100EX control unit. The project was done in cooperation with Statoil/Equinor and Sintef. Complete product development from conceptual design to assembly of final product. Key focuses in this project included ergonomics for users in rough working conditions, ATEX/EX design and design according to military spec standards and IP67 design.

QUIETPRO bionic hearing expands your workers’ personal situational awareness, understanding, and communication by not only adapting to changing noise noises but also amplifying sounds up to 5x normal hearing. This allows your workers to remain aware of their surroundings, assess rapidly changing environments and potential threats, and reduce further exposures to hazardous noise. The control unit includes volume control buttons, allowing the user to reduce or increase the level of the surrounding sound.
