Janus G3

Client: Perkin Elmer

Objective: Refresh a legacy life science workstation for usability, scalability, and branding

Activities

Research and Development into use case and ergonomics of historical devices, and competitive products to evaluate opportunities
Identified opportunities for improvement in design, cost, manufacturability, through use evaluation and engineering assessment
Created a modular platform after evaluating hundreds of concepts
Designed, engineered (including CFD), prototyped, tooled, and verified mechanical systems

Goddard was tasked by Perkin Elmer to take a legacy bench-top product and transform it into a modular, automated platform that could scale to thirteen unique versions of the system. This presented the significant challenge of creating a new look and easy-to-use design that would be highly scalable for the many variations of the device. After developing hundreds of unique concepts, Goddard eventually engineered a product that integrated Perkin Elmer’s existing visual brand language and included new stand-out features. Two years following Janus’ launch, sales for the newly-reimagined product were up 90%.

Results

Commercialization by the client, as mechanically designed by Goddard
Sales for the newly-reimagined product were up 90%

More Work

The Goddard team excels at engineering, and designing products that combine functionality, marketability, and manufacturability. From surgical devices, to biotech breakthroughs, this is a small sample of the projects we’ve been a part of.
