Extra support for the Sky Wifi Hub

At MPT Plastica, we are constantly committed to providing innovative solutions that not only meet our customers’ needs but also exceed their expectations. A prime example of this approach is the project for the Sky Wifi Hub support. This product combines attractive design and practical functionality, ensuring stability and safety for the device.

In this article, we will explore the co-design and engineering process that led to the creation of the support base, highlighting the benefits obtained by the client and the lessons learned along the way.

The Sky Wifi Hub is a product that stands out for its sleek and modern design, so much so that it can be displayed like a piece of decor. However, in living environments with children or pets, it can be useful to have greater stability to prevent any falls caused by accidental bumps. Our client, a collaborator of Sky Italia, identified the need for a support that could provide this stability without compromising aesthetics.

The co-design process began with a series of initial meetings to define the project’s objectives and requirements. We closely collaborated with the client, Carlo Morelli of MCC Srl, to explore various ideas and approaches. Using collaborative design tools, we were able to visualize concepts and gather immediate feedback.

We then developed a support that not only offered stability but was also aesthetically pleasing and in line with the modem’s design. The final solution included a snap tab to securely anchor the modem and the ability to mount the support on the wall with two screws, ensuring versatility in use.

Using advanced simulation software, we created prototypes of the support and analyzed their performance. Our attention to detail and in-depth knowledge of simulation technologies allowed us to foresee and solve problems before physical production, optimizing time and resources.

The object was finally produced in high-flow ABS through an injection molding process with a central hot nozzle, using a two-cavity mold made in-house by our mechanical workshop for tooling production. This allowed for fast production even at high volumes, meeting market demands.

The result was a product that delighted the client with its functionality and design. The support for the Sky Wifi Hub is now also marketed on Amazon, offering consumers a practical and high-quality accessory. Thanks to our solution, the modem can be securely placed next to the TV or mounted on the wall, reducing the risk of accidental falls.

1. Collaboration and Communication: The project’s success was largely due to close collaboration and clear communication with the client. This ensured that all parties were aligned on the product’s goals and requirements from the beginning.
2. Continuous Innovation: The use of advanced simulation technologies once again demonstrated the importance of continuous innovation in design and production processes.
3. Flexibility and Adaptability: Designing a versatile support, capable of being both freestanding and wall-mounted, highlighted the importance of considering the end-user experience and the product’s versatility.
4. Quality and Details: Our attention to detail, from material selection to the design of the snap tab, made a difference in terms of quality and customer satisfaction.

The Sky Wifi Hub support project is an excellent example of how MPT Plastica can turn a challenge into an opportunity for innovation. Thanks to our co-design and engineering approach, we created a product that combines beauty, functionality, and safety, offering the client and end consumers a high-quality accessory.

We continue to learn and grow with every project, reinforcing our commitment to providing solutions that not only meet our clients’ needs but exceed them.
