Spyrna Technologies

In the logistics industry, fully utilizing available trailer space remains a massive challenge. Traditional fleet management systems rely on estimates from bookings and manual driver inputs, leading to inefficient load factors. Spyrna aimed to change that by providing concrete, real-time data using depth cameras inside the trailer. Made By Makers helped Spyrna develop a ruggedized, low-profile edge-hardware device that could be seamlessly integrated inside volatile cargo environments, withstanding heavy impacts and vibration, while perfectly positioning advanced camera optics to accurately measure actual cargo volume.

We have used Made By Makers both as product designers for our Cargo Scanner, and also to help with our visual identity at Spyrna. We have been – and still are – incredibly pleased with the high level of quality they deliver every single time. A massive recommendation from us.

- Nicky Bonne, CEO, Spyrna Technologies

Our role

We joined Spyrna as a design partner, managing a 360-degree development journey. Our role spanned from the initial industrial design of the interior edge hardware to the creation of the graphical identity, user interface (UI) principles for the dashboards, and high fidelity prototypes. By bridging hardware aesthetics with data visualization, we ensured a holistic product experience.

Process

Our design process is the result of a great, ongoing collaboration that has spanned several years. Driven by iterative engineering and a design strategy for rugged industrial environments, we developed numerous functional models and high-fidelity prototypes. These models underwent rigorous real-world testing and environmental validation inside active trailers to ensure durability and camera lens protection. In parallel, we crafted Spyrna’s visual identity, translating their brand values into a cohesive visual language.

Result

The outcome is a sophisticated, market-ready Spyrna ecosystem—uniting physical product and brand identity—that brings certainty to trailer logistics. By measuring actual cargo volume to reveal unused capacity, the final design directly drives reduced emissions and improved ESG reporting. We are incredibly proud of this partnership and look forward to the journey ahead with the Spyrna team.

2024

EBI approached Made By Makers to support the development and refinement of a next generation urban e-bike concept. EBI wanted a strong focus on combining innovative technology, user-centered design, and a distinctive brand experience.

Our role

Made By Makers explored frame layouts, user experiences as well as innovative steering and drivetrain technologies that would create both a visual and tangible impact in the marketplace.

Process

In a series of informal meetings together with EBI stakeholders we honed in on the core experience EBI wanted to deliver and refined towards the final proposal.

In search of an external catalyst - beyond our in-house design sphere - for our innovative All-in-One city e-cycle, a partner recommended Made By Makers. It was an instant smooth, efficient, yet sophisticated collaboration. Made By Makers are listeners first, insight-roamers, and smart creators. After the first briefing, the feedback didn't disappoint - particularly regarding key insights and product resonance. We appreciated the quality without artifice, genuine reflection and pondering, but never any "showing off" or condescension. Instead, it was peer-to-peer sharing throughout the process, which made the whole R&D seamless and fruitful.A product's success is a transversal teamwork - bridging the clients' needs with the agency's interpretation. By not being "yes-men," they demonstrated soft skills and mutual respect. All of that is what I hold in my heart when you ask me, "What about MBM?" B R A V O !

- Cédric  Allemann, CD / Co-founder, EBI - Electric Bicycle Innovation

Result

At the end of the collaboration, we delivered a design that incorporated novel features, real user benefits and a unique aesthetics that will help establish EBI´s position in the market. The final delivery included CAD drawings and a full colour, material and finish specification including product graphics.

Client

EBI is an international e-mobility company focused on developing premium electric bicycles, mobility systems, software, and accessories. Founded in Switzerland, the company combines advanced engineering with distinctive design to create innovative and accessible e-bike solutions that promote sustainable transportation and modern urban mobility.
