red dot award: product design 2009

In order to optimise the specific combustion values of car engines by means of an engine control unit, what is required in the rough test-vehicle environment is a tool that provides a high degree of functionality and computing power. The KiBox To Go has been developed as a modular system that can be attached to various vehicles in several ways, for example, by using safety belts. All the sensor connections are positioned on the front of the device, and are easily accessible from the side through the bracket frame. While protecting the device as a whole, the bracket frame and shock absorbers also offer the cables near the connections particular protection against strain, shock and damage. The system can be extended with additional components by means of modular stacking, according to measuring requirements and individual deployment areas. Measurements are transferred directly to, and displayed on, a laptop via an integral user interface.
