Security solutions of the future

Verisure is the leading provider of professionally monitored alarm solutions for households and small businesses in Europe. The company offers premium alarm services for monitored alarms to its more than 5.6 million customers across 17 countries in Europe and Latin America. With the ambition to develop even better solutions, Verisure has created a new Voicepad – a control device that puts users in full control of their home’s connected alarm systems, such as cameras and sensors. Voicepad’s product development placed stringent demands on both technical innovation and design. To realize this vision, Verisure chose to work with Nolato. 

The latest version of Voicepad is a wall-mounted control unit which, despite its compact size, contains numerous functions. It incorporates powerful sirens, voice-controlled communication with the Verisure alarm center and a keypad to manage the home’s connected devices. The objective was to develop a compact device that accommodates advanced technology while being aesthetically pleasing. Nolato was involved early on in the project and played a crucial role in developing components and supplying high-quality, assembly-ready parts. 

Complex challenges required new methods 

Putting to use Nolato’s expertise in injection molding and complex assembly, Verisure’s ideas could be transformed into reality. To create a sophisticated product like Voicepad, Nolato needed to develop new methods for producing and assembling key components. For example, the front panel is produced as a unique double-molded plastic component, giving both aesthetic elegance and durability. Technologies such as stretching fabric for the speaker, and fitting it, were also used in the production of Voicepad. 

One of the most advanced processes in the production is the development of bespoke plastic film which, using a combination of different techniques, is printed with a pattern. The film is then shaped to the right dimensions and integrated into the mold for injection molding with plastic on the back (in-mold labeling). The result is a durable and well-balanced component that meets Verisure’s exacting demands on design and functionality. 

 

Fruitful collaboration 

Nolato’s considerable experience in mobile and consumer electronics, combined with its ability to deliver products that meet stringent cosmetic and technical requirements, laid the foundation for successful collaboration with Verisure. The development of Voicepad has also provided valuable insights that reinforce Nolato’s capacity to generate even greater customer value in future projects – with a focus on smart design that simplifies the production and integration of new technology. 

“Nolato has been a key partner in the realization of Voicepad – not only by supplying components, but also by assisting with design and process optimization. The collaboration shows how innovative solutions and technical expertise can create a product that combines design, functionality and high quality.” - Daniel Kristensson, Verisure’s R&D team.
