Project Description: Medical & Laboratory

Design Team: Cesaroni Design & Summit Industries

The Advantage Digital Floor-Mounted Tubestand (DFMT) is an easily-configurable imaging solution for demanding medical environments. Summit Industries sought out the services of Cesaroni Design, an award-winning design firm with vast experience in the medical product space. The goal of both companies was to industrial design some key aesthetic details and critical user touchpoints.

Cesaroni Design successfully unified Summit Industries’ aesthetic vision for the Advantage DFMT by matching new sheet metal components to the table’s existing exterior front cover. These new steel exterior enclosures reduced the overall part count and gave the Advantage DFMT a cleaner, more contemporary appearance. The injection molded control unit was designed to reflect the new aesthetic direction and improve its durability. Care was also taken to design the new controller more ergonomically friendly while minimizing the changes needed for internal components. Cesaroni’s team also graphically designed the membrane switch control panel, ensuring proper integration with the control panel’s new form factor. A new set of decals was designed for the DFMT, creating updated product branding and a graphic refinement of the floor pedal instruction decal.
