Revolutionizing Power Sockets: The Fdo by Arinin Evgeny

A Multi-shaped Outlet Designed to Accommodate Any Plug, Anywhere

The Fdo stands out in the market with its unique properties. It caters to the 14 different shapes of outlets that exist worldwide, which often cause inconvenience, especially for international travelers. This product, designed primarily for the B2B market, eliminates such issues by accommodating any type of plug, thanks to its patent-pending pipe design. The outlet's processors detect the plug's shape and deliver the maximum possible voltage, making it safe for children.

The Fdo's innovative design is realized through the use of thousands of metal pipes, held together in a matrix created by CNC machinery. This technology allows the outlet to adapt to different plug shapes. The product measures 110mm x 110mm x 50mm, making it compact and suitable for various settings.

The Fdo's user-friendly design allows for easy plug insertion, with no restrictions on rotation or shifting. This flexibility makes it particularly convenient for use in low-light conditions. The outlet's processor also ensures child safety by detecting the shape of the plug.

The Fdo was developed between August and December 2018, with the project starting in Moscow, Russia, and concluding in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The design was recognized as the 4th place participant of the Lexus Design Award 2019 in Russia. The project was driven by research into the diverse socket designs worldwide, each tailored to different voltages and country-specific standards. This diversity often causes difficulties for travelers and those purchasing electrical appliances from other countries, necessitating the use of connectors.

Creating a modular yet robust system to accommodate any plug was a significant challenge in the Fdo's design process. With no existing solutions, a completely new system had to be developed. The result is a unique product that enhances convenience and safety, particularly for B2B applications. The Fdo's multi-functional patent-pending pipe design allows for the use of any input device and detects power consumption and voltage for optimal operation.

The Fdo's innovative design and functionality earned it the Silver A' Building Materials and Construction Components Design Award in 2020. This prestigious award is given to designs that demonstrate remarkable creativity, professional excellence, and innovation. The Fdo, with its technical strengths and artistic skill, certainly fits this description, introducing positive feelings, amazement, and wonder.
