APC Smart-UPS

Ultra-high power density, On-Line power protection with scalable runtime options.

This Uninterrupted Power Supply line is built to be a durable backup power unit.

Scalable Power

One of the best selling products at Schneider Electric got a new look.

For these three lines of UPS, we created specific design distinctions between the premiere, top, & mid-level models.

My role was to create the new design language for the Smart UPS products, both the On-Line & Line Interactive products.

The Process

The Design

Of course there were design constraints. These were a few.

I. The bezel needed to be removable to replace batteries.

II. Bezel needed to be open enough

III. The HMI needed to fit within a very specific area.

IV. Use little to no single use plastics & use recyclable materials.

V. Needs to be scalable design language; there are currently 3 sizes of UPS but possibly larger ones in the future.
