• Benefits of HexaCurtain
•  
• Minimise Air Leakage

• Fewer panel oscillations upon movement and less surface area exposed to the external environment compared to regular PVC strips, minimising air leakage from air-conditioned warehouse spaces

• More Cost-Efficient

• More economically efficient in the long run through electricity cost savings

• Modularity
• Hexagonal panels are modular and easily replaceable to ensure high scalability for varying warehousing needs

Addresses Limitations of Existing Solutions

• Circumvents irremovable oil stains from repeated contact with material-handling equipment (MHE) and forklifts

• • Lowers replacement cost ​

• • Higher effectiveness in preventing air leakage and temperature fluctuations in warehouse spaces

• • No risk of collision as sensors will automatically detect incoming MHE

Future Developments

• Improve Visibility & Heat Reflection

• Solar film can be added to the panels to reflect heat from incident sunlight while allowing light to pass through

• Improve Flexibility & Stability

• A more flexible type of rubber can be used to smoothen panel movement 

• Reduce Material Cost

• Cheaper alternatives to some components (e.g. sensors) of the HexaCurtain and bulk purchases can drive costs down further

Our Iterations

From paper models, 3D prints, and scaled-down acrylic prototypes to our full-sized acrylic prototype, iterative modifications were made along our design process to ensure the best final prototype we can manufacture
