We started the journey with a co-creation workshop with the Marel team – focusing on the product architecture and defining which zones of the product require access by whom, when and why.

Based on this extended briefing, that already gave some initial ideas for optimisations, we started to adjust the configuration of the machine for better work flow and access. Another goal of this phase was to find the architectural “grip” that would make the machine look logical and that would make it fit to the other Marel machines.

Once the design architecture was defined, we optimised the user interaction and accessability – optimising production aspects in a close dialogue with Marel’s engineering team and we cared for the form details that create similarities to other Marel salmon processing equipment.
