In the world of rugged technology, “waterproof” is more than a feature—it is a lifeline. In 2023, Reachinno team partnered with a premier French mobile brand known for supplying rugged communication devices to government agencies and emergency services.
The mission was clear: develop a high-capacity, IP67-rated waterproof power bank compatible with their flagship cell phones that could withstand the harshest field conditions.
1. The Challenge: Beyond Standard Durability
Our client’s end-users—ranging from forest firefighters to maritime security—operate in environments where gear failure is not an option. The project presented three critical engineering hurdles:
- True IP67 Compliance: The device had to be fully dust-tight and survive immersion in 1 meter of water for 30 minutes.
- Thermal Management in a Sealed Shell: Completely sealing a high-power battery creates significant heat dissipation challenges.
- Rugged Aesthetics & Ergonomics: The unit needed to match the brand’s “tough-tech” visual identity while remaining portable enough for tactical vests.
2. The Solution: A 1 Million RMB Commitment to Quality
At Reachinno, we believe that world-class products require world-class infrastructure. To ensure the absolute reliability of this IP67 project, we made a strategic investment of over 1 million RMB in specialized manufacturing and testing technology.
Advanced Waterproof Infrastructure
We integrated high-precision ultrasonic welding machines and automated vacuum leak testers into a dedicated production line. This allowed us to verify the seal integrity of every single unit before it left our facility.
Six Months of Precision R&D
Over a six-month development cycle, our R&D team iterated through dozens of structural prototypes. We utilized custom-engineered silicone gaskets and reinforced internal frames to absorb shocks while maintaining a watertight barrier under extreme pressure.
3. The Outcome: Successful Global Delivery
The project culminated in the successful delivery of the first mass-production batch via air freight to meet the client’s urgent government contract deadlines.
- Zero Failure Rate: The units passed all third-party IP67 and MIL-STD-810G durability certifications.
- Client Satisfaction: The French partner praised Reachinno for our willingness to invest in project-specific equipment and our transparency throughout the 180-day engineering process.
