Rx1 ओड़ाक् एको सिकिউরিটি কন্ট্রোলার যা আক্সেস রিডার আর লককে সংযুক্ত করে আর সিদ্ধান্ত নেয় যে প্রবেশাধিকার অনুমোদিত হবে কি না। ইউনিটটি একটি ইলেকট্রনিক্স ক্লোজেটের ভিতরে ডিন রেইলে মাউন্ট করা থাকে, তাই এর আকৃতি সংযত এবং সেই পরিবেশের সাথে উপযুক্ত। মুদ্রিত গ্রাফিক্স দেখায় কোন তার কোন প্লাগ পিনের সাথে সংযুক্ত, এবং এলইডি নির্দেশ করে কোন প্লাগে ত্রুটি আছে। যখন হাউজিং ওয়াল-মাউন্টেড থাকে, তখন একটি অভ্যন্তরীণ অ্যাট্রিয়াম এবং পার্শ্ব ভেন্ট প্রসেসরকে শীতল রাখে। এলইডি বোর্ডগুলো পৃষ্ঠের কাছাকাছি বসানো থাকে, যা লাইট পাইপের প্রয়োজনীয়তা দূর করে। কেসটি ফ্লেম রেজিস্ট্যান্ট প্লাস্টিক দিয়ে তৈরি করা হয়েছে।

ᱟᱞᱜᱟ ᱜᱩᱱ ᱠᱚ: Aesthetics set Rx1 apart from other products in its category, but are appropriate for the context.
Embodies brand building design features that can be reused for other products (info/brand face, vents, & rounded form).
Atrium cooling strategy is optimized for cooling the processor in wall mounted orientation.
Innovative led mount strategy eliminates light pipes. Graphics allowing clusters of remote led.
Ease of use via graphics indicating what circuit has issues and easy din mount install.
ᱢᱟᱯ ᱟᱨ ᱯᱮᱠᱮᱡᱤᱝ: Overall size is 8.0 x 4.5 x 1.75in (203.5 x 114.8 x 44.5 mm). It is made from Flame resistant plastic and is optimized for UL safety. Rx1 controls two doors and two access devices, plus connectivity on Ethernet RJ45. System status is indicated by led for each plug and a status indicator relaying information. There is a hidden reset button and a tamper sensor indicating unauthorized access. Various DIN rail mounts can used and have been specified/ configured for ease of accessibility. Wiring is easy to using phoenix plugs. Powered by Rasberrry Pi cm4, it replaces the Hirsch Mx1.
ᱴᱮᱜ ᱠᱚ: Security, Controller, DIN, IOT, Badge Access, Door Locks, Access Control
ᱛᱮᱭᱟᱨ ᱛᱮᱠᱱᱚᱞᱚᱡᱤ: The product is made up of custom built electronics and plastics, as well as off the shelf parts. The electronics schematic was started when ID started, consisting of a Raspberry Pi compute pcb and an I-O pcb. As we developed device architecture concepts and each was evaluated for easy of use, aesthetics, and performance. When a form was chosen, the design was developed from the outside-in, ie. We started with best form in respect to setup, mounting, servicing, and information architecture. The pcb layout architecture was driven by this, and is an example of design led engineering.
ᱰᱤᱡᱟᱭᱱ ᱪᱮᱞᱮᱧ: The hardest part was to create appropriate design for the context. DIN rail spaces in electronics closets are not visible and hide unsightly devices. Design styling that is dramatic or overdesigned would waste the mfg costs as it would not be seen and may turn customers away from company products. Perceived value of the product would be directly influenced by the design styling. It should appear a high quality performance product, based on solid engineering and not flash. Design challenges were cooling, access to DIN mounts, and fitting text on the top surface.
ᱜᱚᱵᱮᱥᱚᱱᱟ: Primary and secondary research were employed for the Rx1 design. Two research objective were to create a good user experience build an appropriate design language for the category. Usability research came from the client, installers, and forums. Valuable info such as the reliance on flat head screwdriver installation and importance of diagnostic led. For styling, date came from competitive audits, style reference, and company brand. Learnings were that the vent area could be a brand feature, and the distinctive red color is important to represent.
ᱯᱨᱮᱨᱚᱱᱟ: Inspiration was tasteful design that stands out from competition, but is not overdesigned nor compromises ease of use - Rx1 is a highly functional product and lives in device closets among other utilitarian products.
Brief was to not "design a box" but have appropriate style for context. Also to build brand design language including prominently displayed brand graphics such as red circle motif.
Inspiring products were consumer routers and external hard drives, particularly with vents.
ᱯᱨᱚᱡᱮᱠᱴ ᱥᱚᱢᱚᱭ: The project was started in November 2020, in both Bristol, UK and Santa Ana, California. The project was finished in March 2021, is in manufacturing now, and will be released in Spring 2021.
ᱠᱟᱹᱢᱤ ᱦᱚᱨ: Rx1 is a security controller linking access readers and locks, and making decisions on allowing access. The device is mounted in an electronics closet, only opened if there is an issue. During install, Rx1 is attached to a Din rail, among other devices. Inputs and outputs are wired using phoenix plugs (multiple wires fixed with screws, then plugged in). Printed text indicates what wire goes to which plug pin. During diagnostic, LEDs indicate which plug has a fault. To remove, the DIN mount is disengaged from the wall with either a flat head screwdriver or via depressing a spring release.
