iVolve’s LX1

The design challenge of the LX1 was to create a low-cost device that allowed for wider implementation across sites and businesses that previously didn't have the budget to install a smart piece of hardware across their entire fleet. The LX1 had to facilitate access to safety and productivity data and be rugged and dependable for business continuity. It had to be easy to install (small and plug and play features) along with easy troubleshooting visuals for support teams.

The LX1 is low cost compared to it's predecessor and has a significantly high sales forecast internationally and across a wider range of industries. it's electrical design has been optimised for reduced complexity and ease of manufacture (within Australia). The physical assembly of the LX1 moved to an injection moulding enclosure, making the mechanical design and it's production and parts a lower impact and smooth manufacturing process.

The Impact of the LX1 across industry is high. With the LX1 sites can see in real-time important safety, fleet productivity & environmental data, allowing management to act in real-time to minimise environmental footprint, safety incidents and make for a more productive & safe site. The LX1 informs operators of dangers in the field, closely monitors fuel usage, situational awareness & tyre pressure, ensuring safety for all operators. The LX1 can be installed on any make of machine, meaning that sites can gain a whole understanding of their operations, compared to previously where each make of machine would have different data gathering systems.
