Customer Needs
The client required an internal LED lighting system for a new fleet of nearly 200 semi-trailers. The system needed to ensure interior illumination even when the trailer was disconnected from the truck, allowing safe loading and unloading operations without interruptions in the lighting system’s functionality.
Case Analysis
The request analysis highlighted several critical aspects to address:
- Energy autonomy: the lighting system needed to operate for 4-5 hours without an external power source.
- Charging management: an electronic board was required to manage the automatic recharging of the system when the trailer was connected to the truck
- Battery box design: the casing had to be waterproof yet easy to install, preventing any openings during vehicle mounting.
Proposed Solution
To meet the client’s needs, Cosmic developed an innovative solution based on:
- Prototyping and testing: Creation of a prototype that received both technical and financial approval from the client.
- Design optimization:
- Development of CAD drawings for internal mounts, reducing the number of components and simplifying replacements if needed
- Design of a modular and easy-to-integrate system. - Performance validation:
- Battery box testing, confirming the required autonomy and flawless operation
- Implementation of necessary protections to ensure system safety - Supply chain management:
- Production organization to meet the client’s strict deadlines
