About The Customer
Doris Dev is a product development agency with offices in New York and Hong Kong. The company specializes in bringing consumer products from idea to market, handling everything from industrial design to manufacturing and compliance. One of their notable products is the Canopy humidifier, designed for fashion-conscious consumers who prioritize skincare and aromatherapy. The company works with various clients, including Great Jones, Loftie, Open Spaces, Byhumankind, and Blueland. Doris Dev's team includes experts in mechanical and electrical engineering, sourcing, and fulfillment, making them a comprehensive solution for product development.
The Challenge
Doris Dev, a product development agency based in New York and Hong Kong, faced challenges in sharing designs with internal stakeholders and external partners. They needed a CAD and data management platform that would enable easier sharing of designs, allowing marketing and sales to influence the final product earlier. The company aimed to create a dishwasher-safe humidifier, the Canopy, targeted at fashion-conscious consumers focused on skincare and aromatherapy. The humidifier needed to be easy to clean, avoiding the common issue of mold and bacteria growth in traditional humidifiers.
The Solution
To address their challenges, Doris Dev adopted PTC’s Onshape, a cloud-native SaaS platform that combines a robust CAD system with built-in data management and real-time collaboration tools. Onshape enabled the core engineering team to share early product designs with internal stakeholders and incorporate their feedback into new iterations faster. The platform's real-time data management prevented version control issues between the New York and Hong Kong teams. Onshape’s Sharing feature allowed the design team to easily share CAD models with non-CAD users across the organization, incorporating their feedback into earlier design iterations. Additionally, Onshape’s Follow Mode facilitated training sessions for new engineering hires, allowing them to follow a lead presenter in a CAD document in real time.

Improving Vending Machine Profitability with the Internet of Things (IoT)
The vending industry is undergoing a sea change, taking advantage of new technologies to go beyond just delivering snacks to creating a new retail location. Intelligent vending machines can be found in many public locations as well as company facilities, selling different types of goods and services, including even computer accessories, gold bars, tickets, and office supplies. With increasing sophistication, they may also provide time- and location-based data pertaining to sales, inventory, and customer preferences. But at the end of the day, vending machine operators know greater profitability is driven by higher sales and lower operating costs.

Revolutionizing Rodent Control
From pet- and child-safe traps, to touch-free and live-catch rodent control solutions, Victor continues to stay committed to producing superior products that meet the varying needs of today’s pest control professionals. And, with a long standing history supporting customers in the food processing, service, and retail settings, Victor knew that strict regulations were costing organizations thousands of dollars in excess overhead trying to manage their rodent-control solutions. Trap inspections in these environments are often difficult and time consuming, requiring personnel to manually check a trap’s status multiple times per day, amounting to over six hours of manual labor. Victor is looking for an innovative way to increase operational efficiencies with the use of technology.
