Customer Introduction

Hero Design is a creative company that designs and builds interactive exhibits and custom products. One of its signature products is the Everbright, a large light board with an array of color-changing circles that can spell out words or create dynamic artwork. The Everbright is an interactive LED wall popular in libraries and museums, where users can turn the rings to change the colors of the lights, creating unique designs.

The product’s first version was built in-house, but as demand grew, Hero Design sought to update its electronics to ensure the system’s reliability and scalability. This need brought them to Voler Systems, who was tasked with revamping the electronics, power distribution, and control systems to make the Everbright more stable and easier to manufacture.

Problem/Goal

• Original electronics performed inconsistently.
  
  Reduce downtime and improve overall performance.
• Power system not optimized for growing number of light pixels.
  
  Ensure consistent performance across all pixels.
  
• Difficulty scaling production.
  
  Make the product easier to manufacture at higher volumes.
