Challenge:

The client required a reliable solution to prevent theft of display laptops in retail environments.

The existing product had several limitations, and an overseas supplier was no longer available, creating an opportunity to improve the design and establish local manufacture.

What we did:

We reviewed the existing bracket design and worked with the client to develop a more practical and cost-effective solution.

This involved:

  • redesigning the bracket for improved functionality
  • introducing a tool-free adjustment system for different laptop sizes
  • refining the design for a cleaner, more modern appearance
  • optimising the design to reduce manufacturing cost

THE OUTCOME

The redesigned bracket provided a more flexible and user-friendly solution, while also reducing production cost.

Fabtek has since manufactured hundreds of these units with consistent quality, establishing an ongoing supply relationship with the client.

The project demonstrates our ability to refine existing products and deliver practical improvements that make a real difference.
