We partnered with OTT Group, a leading Dutch environmental monitoring solutions provider, to develop a next-generation Visibility Detector. This collaboration focused on creating a high-performance forward scattering visibility sensor that meets rigorous international meteorological standards while ensuring reliability in diverse environmental conditions.

OTT Group required a visibility detector that combined scientific precision with practical durability. Key objectives included:

• Advanced optical performance using forward-scattering technology

• Robust construction capable of withstanding extreme weather conditions

• Compliance with China Meteorological Administration's Functional Specification for Forward Scattering Visibility Meters

• User-friendly installation and maintenance features

• Scalable design supporting cost-effective mass production

Design Research and Analysis

Our team conducted comprehensive research into meteorological monitoring requirements and international standards. We analyzed existing visibility detector designs, identifying opportunities for improved accuracy, reliability, and user experience. This research informed every aspect of our product design approach.

Industrial Design Excellence

We developed a modern, professional aesthetic that communicates technical sophistication while ensuring practical functionality. The visibility detector features an integrated housing with smooth contours that prevent debris accumulation and facilitate natural water runoff. Our color scheme using light gray and white provides high visibility in outdoor settings while maintaining a professional appearance.

Structural Engineering Innovation

The visibility detector product design incorporates seven integrated modules:

1. High-precision optical transmitter and receiver system

2. Intelligent controller unit

3. Protective blank panel

4. PT100 temperature sensor array

5. Multi-orientation mounting base

6. Shielded heating system

7. Advanced light sensing technology

We utilized UV-resistant polymer composites and corrosion-resistant metals to ensure long-term durability. The structural design includes advanced thermal management features that prevent condensation and icing while maintaining optimal operating temperature.

Prototype Development and Validation

We created functional prototypes using rapid prototyping technologies, followed by extensive testing in environmental chambers and field conditions. The visibility detector underwent rigorous performance validation, including:

• Optical accuracy verification

• Environmental stress testing

• EMI/EMC compliance testing

• User interface evaluation

The product successfully passed all meteorological certification requirements, demonstrating exceptional stability and measurement accuracy.

Mass Production Implementation

Our manufacturing team developed specialized production fixtures and quality control protocols to ensure consistent product quality. We implemented automated testing procedures for every unit, including optical calibration and environmental sealing verification.

This visibility detector product design project delivered a market-leading solution that combines scientific accuracy with practical reliability. The product has been successfully deployed in numerous meteorological monitoring applications worldwide, providing critical visibility data for aviation safety, transportation management, and environmental protection.

Our collaboration with OTT Group demonstrated how innovative product design can enhance technical performance while ensuring manufacturing efficiency and cost-effectiveness. The project established new standards for visibility monitoring equipment and strengthened OTT's position as a technology leader in environmental monitoring solutions.
