PassiveLogic Awarded Red Dot Design Award for Sense Nano Product Design
30 Julio 2024 - 12:16PM
PassiveLogic, creator of the first platform for generative autonomy
to enable autonomous infrastructural robots, announced today that
its Sense Nano™ sensor was awarded the 2024 Red Dot Design Award in
Product Design.
The Red Dot Design Award is one of the most prestigious design
awards, and receiving the award is an internationally recognized
seal of outstanding design quality. Entries were submitted from 60
countries, and judged by an international panel of 39 experts from
20 countries, whose expertise covers various design disciplines and
occupations including professors, consultants, journalists or
industrial designers. Winning products are selected for their
aesthetic appeal, function, innovation, and above all, outstanding
design.
The Sense Nano is the first truly wireless sensor —
communicating with its peers via bluetooth mesh, while extracting
its operating energy from the surrounding environment. The sensor
extends autonomy to the very edge, enabling the mass conversion of
the buildings into smart assets. To facilitate these retrofits, the
Sense Nano installs in seconds, recognizing its own install
location using the companion Quantum Lens mobile application.
Designed for architectural sensitivity, the CNC machined aircraft
alloy aluminum housing integrates into any environment, wherever
insights are needed. Fitting into the palm of your hand, it is an
achievement of miniaturization, cramming seven sensors into a 45mm
diameter ring: air temperature, radiant temperature, humidity,
light level, air pressure, indoor air quality, and occupant
location services.
The Nano is powerful on its own. When combined with the wider
PassiveLogic ecosystem, it functions as a bidirectional,
synergistic teammate, aiding and improving the functionality of the
whole platform. The Sense Nano is one of PassiveLogic’s eight
unique hardware units that seamlessly integrate, working together
to enable autonomy for any controllable infrastructural robotic
system.
The Sense Nanos’ rich sensor suite plays an important role in
the first controls platform for autonomous infrastructure,
collecting and compiling a wealth of environmental data needed to
enable autonomous infrastructure. As part of the Hive Autonomous
Platform—the first autonomous management system (AMS) in the
world—the Sense Nano not only tracks critical environmental data
but also communicates that information across the platform in
real-time. This enables the Hive Controller to refine its digital
twin AI models and provide improved autonomous system control at
the edge.
“We want to thank the Red Dot Committee for recognizing
PassiveLogic’s work to develop elegant and intuitive technology
that empowers users to create their autonomous future,” said
PassiveLogic CEO Troy Harvey. “For the first time, sensors can
freely go wherever they’re needed—no longer bound by complex wiring
challenges—to capture information crucial to human comfort and
complex asset management. The Sense Nano’s design reflects
PassiveLogic’s mission to deliver a great user experience while
leveraging design-led engineering to solve our most pressing
real-world problems.”
The Red Dot is the second internationally prestigious industrial
design award PassiveLogic has received in 2024. Earlier this year,
PassiveLogic was announced as a winner of the iF DESIGN AWARD
for the Hive Autonomous Platform.

About PassiveLogic
PassiveLogic enables autonomy for controlled systems and unlocks
collaboration between teams to manage those systems. PassiveLogic
has reimagined how we design, build, operate, maintain, and manage
infrastructural robots, whose current technology has remained
unchanged for decades. By using revolutionary physics-based Quantum
digital twins and leveraging the world’s fastest AI compiler to
simulate future-forward controls, PassiveLogic empowers users to
easily create their own generative digital twins in minutes to
launch autonomous control. This control optimizes for energy use,
equipment longevity, and occupant comfort levels in real time for
the system’s lifetime. Autonomous control lays the foundation for
decarbonization at scale and enables truly smart, connected
cities.
