Vertex was commissioned by EIG to design a web-accessed power monitoring device. Previously, EIG did all its own product design and engineering in-house.
Typically, the same electrical engineer who designed the PC boards also designed the outside covers, resulting in a boxy, utilitarian meter design with no aesthetic appeal.
The main objective for this project was to create a small, but powerful, meter design with a unique appearance to dictate EIG’s product line's new look and feel.
Vertex’s strong industrial design skills took this meter, and others down the line, to a completely new level of product quality, integrity, and ease of production. In fact, this meter design was OEM by EIG for Eaton and General Electric under their own private labels.
The Shark Power Meter was the winner of the Electrical Construction & Maintenance (EC&M) 2008 Product of the Year award.
