The Flexikom 2.0

At: Themans B.V.

In 2011, Themans developed the Flexikom lock box. Over the years, the needs of Themans and their clients have changed. To satisfy these needs once again, the development of the Flexikom 2.0 was initialized.

“The goal of the Flexikom 2.0 design is to: implement an improved modular system, to reduce the total amount of parts. To introduce the use of plastics and make the adjustment systems of the Flexikom 2.0 simple and intuitive, to make the new design compatible with the introduction of off-site maintenance.”

With the help of a literature research, product analysis, and a process tree a list of requirements was setup. Furthermore, two concept creations led to the development of a Flexikom 2.0 concept that achieved this goal and most of the requirements.
