Smartphone Data Capture System

A rugged, external hardcase with barcode and signature capture for BlackBerry Smartphones. This is a complete system including a charging docking station and belt holsters. Engineered to last – This product can be driven over with a 4 wheel drive and still function.

We took the product from concept design to production tooling in 10 months. The complete housing and injection moulding tooling was managed by Charlwood Design.

Personal Oxygen Device

This is a high pressure (3000psi) bottled oxygen dispenser for use during sport or in polluted environments. Offering a complete design solution, Charlwood designed, developed and engineered the valves and housing system as well as the packaging for the Canadian based company. The injection moulded inhaler was carefully designed for style and comfort.

Stage Management Desk

The show must go on! The stage management desk controls everything to do with the performance at the venues in the Sydney Opera House in both the front and back of house. The six existing units were well past their use by date and needed to be replaced with a state of the art design to serve for the next 20 years.

Winner of the 2012 Melbourne Design Award for best business and technology product, Charlwood’s solution is a flexible and functional desk that houses all the control equipment and interfaces within a beautiful and ergonomically designed console.

Stage Automation

Charlwood has designed and engineered three generations of stage automation equipment. Highly valuable devices designed for low volume production with a range that includes a wireless handheld device and a large scale controlling desk. This equipment must be extremely reliable as “the show must go on”!

Hotel Door Locking System

Charlwood Design worked collaboratively with the client on both the design and engineering of the mechanism and card reader. The design had to allow the card reader to be mounted proud of the door eliminating the need to cut a rectangular hole in the door.

We completed extensive Stress Analysis to confirm that the large die-castings would withstand attempts to force the door lock open.

Advertising Hand Dryer & Signage

A product range of washroom adverting signage and audio visual hand dryers. Charlwood developed the dryer, sound system and play back technology with our partners to supply a complete solution. The units are IP rated and Vandal resistant and the hand dryer plays ads only when in use.

Speed Detector

This speed detection device consists of an optical transmitter and receiver units on opposite sides of the carriageway and classifies passing vehicles. It is one of the most accurate speed detection devices commercially available. Charlwood design has designed and engineered two generations of this product. It is an extremely robust and reliable product with die cast construction and an IP 68 rating.

High Performance Disk Brakes

Charlwood designs’ services resulted in our client successfully winning the tender for the Audi S4 disc brake beating the competition on design, price and performance. We have also designed a high performance six pot disc brake for Corvette. The result was a stylish design that did not impinge on the performance or weight of the brake caliper.

Truck Hoist

Design and engineering for an electronic hoisting system for truck trailer landing legs. Charlwood worked on the total development of the product, from concept through to engineering the final diecast components.
