Launching Today: The Trio Motion-PLC
Smallfry is excited to announce the launch of a landmark project developed with Trio Motion Technology: the Motion-PLC.
Debuting today for orders, the new controller features Trio’s advanced motion control performance with the functionality and simplicity of a PLC.
A defining feature of the product is the incorporation of a modular front loading slice expansion system that enables engineers to easily swap out and expand modules as needed.
During the project, Smallfry worked closely with Trio on both the industrial design and mechanical engineering, ultimately delivering a market-ready solution that sets a precedent for future Trio products.
We developed a distinct Visual Brand Language capitalising on the Trio brand red, with an eye-catching side panel that provides a repeating colour accent visible across the front of the full array of mounted devices.
Our engineers worked alongside Trio’s electronics team to pack the product full of new technology while minimising tooling investment and navigating a competitive IP landscape. Through our team’s combined design and engineering expertise, Smallfry have effectively balanced the competing demands of high performance, tight dimensional constraints, and manufacturability.
The Motion-PLC’s design supports an impressive technical leap and will streamline machine design while reducing costs for OEMs.
We look forward to sharing more about our involvement in the coming days and weeks.
