Spotlight Labs Inhale Sensor

Inhale Sensor
for US Military pilots

Helix worked with Spotlight Labs to develop their Aviation Inhale Sensor.

For service pilots and other decision-critical operators, the Spotlight Inhale Sensor is essential to deliver real-time feedback on air quality, oxygen concentrations, pressure, temp, and humidity.

A Closer Look At The Project

The body-worn device aids in biometric monitoring of fighter pilots to help avoid hypoxic conditions and life-threatening situations.

Project Objectives:

  • Define the industrial design for the covers around specific defined hardware components
  • Fabricate a full-scale mock-up to communicat the ideation in physical forms
  • Select materials and processes suitable to meeting requirements and sales volumes
  • Develop production documentation for transition to manufacturing

Helix’s Approach:

  • Develop multiple concepts to target objectives for aesthetics, preliminary assembly and part break up, and materials and processes
  • Provide detailed connector designs to mate with existing mil-spec
  • Leverage our internal engineering team to develop 3D CAD models while maintaining design intent

Product Solutions:

  • Multiple concepts funneled to one direction for refinement and evaluation mock-up
  • Production CAD and 2D drawings
  • Prepare in-material prototypes for interrogation and testing
  • Organize a vendor network to support low to medium-volume production
  • Production assistance and oversight
