Verivin
Vervin invented a fast, non-invasive screening technology that enables the analysis of complex liquids such as wines without the need to open a bottle, using near-infrared Raman spectroscopy.

In 2020, Verivin engaged OPD once again to develop a marketable, beta version of the product called the SWA001. Working in close collaboration with their team, we brought our expertise in product design and engineering to bear across all phases of the development process, from initial concept through design, engineering, prototyping, testing and finally transfer to manufacture.

This new design prioritises the user experience and operational safety, while meeting cost targets and volume manufacturability.

It was critical that a variety of different bottle shapes and sizes could be loaded and placed precisely for analysis, and a key challenge of the brief was to improve the UX of the sample bottle loading.

Safety was a chief concern due to the use of a high powered laser internally. We engineered complex mechanical design features to ensure the system would be safe during both operation and failure including various fail-safe features around activation and shuttering of the laser aperture.
