Fluke Series 70 Multimeter

Adapting the worlds most recognized series of digital multimeters to an innovative new design language without sacrificing continuity, customer loyalty and its long history of quality.

Stratos set the tone for Fluke's future products by re-designing the family of products and applying it to their industry standard, the 70 series product line.

Successfully fulfilled upon requirements for weight reduction and rugged product development in the new line of digital multimeters through close internal collaboration with the Stratos industrial design team.

Resolved several engineering and regulatory issues with one single piece: the inner chassis. The inner chassis addressed and mitigated creepage/clearance issues for components associated with ESD (electrostatic discharge), provided mounting for the LCD, keypads, and batteries, and created a shield that dressed out the interior while keeping hands off the internal components.

Understood the hidden challenge of re-designing the world's top product: customers are reticent to accept change. The solution was to evolve the decade-old 70 series rather than discard it.

Created a smarter, better product that was a natural progression for the product without losing its recognition factor. Reassured customers with a design direction that maintained the Fluke quality and established Fluke as an industry-leading design innovator.

Built a solution centered around three key features: improved user interface, smaller physical size, and ergonomic shape.

The final design was a lighter, smaller, more aesthetically pleasing DMM with a larger display and larger characters, an over-molded "rubber skin" rather than a separate holster, and a shape that matches the natural position of the hand. Provided the user with more gripping area as well as a bumper system that allowed the product to be 15% lighter and more durable than its predecessor.
