Drilllight - Connected sports training device for athletes

Drilllight

Connected sports training device for athletes

Drilllight system concept

An interactive tool to boost reflexes

Drilllight is a connected light-based training solution designed for coaches and professional athletes. Developed for a French sports tech startup, the system measures reactivity, coordination and execution speed in real time.

The client's goal: design a compact, rugged, connected product that is easy to deploy on the field, while delivering reliable and usable measurements.

Our technical approach

A multidisciplinary design combining mechanics, electronics and functional design.

Drilllight electronics

Electronics & firmware

A smart and rugged electronic core.

  • + PCB design integrating high-brightness LEDs
  • + Low-power processor and long-range Wi-Fi
  • + MQTT network for instant coordination
  • + Linux firmware optimised for responsiveness and battery life
Drilllight mechanical enclosure

Mechanics & product design

Designed for durability and ease of use.

  • + Waterproof plastic enclosure
  • + High-visibility LED management
  • + Modular design for fast maintenance
Drilllight validation tests

Tests & validation

Intensive field trials.

  • + Radio range and sensor responsiveness tests
  • + Energy validation and shock resistance
  • + Pre-series CE certification

Results & impact

The product was industrialised in short series and deployed in several professional clubs across France and Europe. It gives coaches real-time visualisation of performance and has helped optimise athlete preparation.

Status: pre-series product — B2B commercialisation
