Fog-Based Industrial Intrusion Sensor
Budget: $250 – $750 AUD
I’m developing a safety device for an industrial site that senses an intruder and instantly fills the area with a dense fog or smoke to stop visibility and trigger an alarm. I already know I want the core of the product to combine reliable intrusion detection (motion, infrared, microwave—whatever mix you feel is most effective against false triggers) with a fast-acting fog generator housed in a rugged enclosure that can survive dust, vibration, and temperature swings typical of a factory floor.
What I need from you is complete OEM engineering support, turning the concept into a production-ready product:
• System architecture, component selection, and detailed schematics
• Firmware and control logic to link sensors, fog generator, and any network/relay outputs
• Mechanical design for the enclosure plus heat dissipation and refill access points
• A full bill of materials and manufacturing files (Gerbers, 3-D models, assembly drawings)
• One functional prototype I can test on-site, with iteration until we hit stable performance
The design must favour off-the-shelf consumables for the fog fluid and anticipate CE/UL compliance; if you have experience guiding similar devices through certification, note it. Future iterations might layer in fire or air-quality monitoring, so keep an expansion port or spare I/O in mind.
If this challenge fits your background in sensor fusion, embedded firmware, and industrial product design, let’s discuss your initial concept outline and timeline for the first prototype.
