IoT- technology, Internet of Things, is a fast-growing business, it means that more and more products, clothes, even people are provided with sensors that can communicate and perceive the surroundings to create a smarter community. For companies to keep up to date, it is essential to continuously provide products with better components and reduced size. To stand out further, companies should provide revolutionary products, with totally new feature. One of these ideas, of a new kind of product with special features, have been investigated and developed in this thesis. The thesis has been conducted with the company CombiQ, located in Jnkping, Sweden. The product that was going to be developed was an industrial sensor, that uses the technology of IIoT, Industrial Internet of Things, that the company develops. At the time when this project took place, CombiQ did not sell any own product, only the technology that was placed inside the products. To develop the industrial sensor for CombiQ, not only the functions of the product had to be investigated, further the brand had to be analyzed to create a design expression reflecting the company. Through implement several tools and methods, from among other things the product development process and design thinking, a concept of an industrial sensor is presented that fulfill the specific requirements and functions. Where the main-feature is that the sensor should be a modular solution to be adjusted for the specific need of the clients. Furthermore, during the project a visual brand language with design guidelines have been developed to reflect the design aspects of the company CombiQ. Design guidelines can be used for further product for the company in the same manners, which also has been displayed by developing design concept of the rest of the industrial sensor that counts to the same product family as the modular sensor. IoT-teknologi, Internet of Things, r en snabbt vxande marknad, det innebr att mer och mer produkter, klder, ven mnniskor frses med sensorer som i sin tur kan frst omgivningen och kommunicera, detta fr att skapa ett smartare samhlle. Fr att fretag ska kunna vidhlla positionen p marknaden r det viktigt att hela tiden erbjuda produkter med bttre komponenter och mindre till storleken. Fr skapa en starkare position, fretaget borde erbjuda revolutionerande produkter med unika egenskaper. Det r en av de hr iderna som har underskts i det hr examensarbetet. Arbetet har skett under ett samarbete med fretaget CombiQ, belgen i Jnkping. Produkten som skulle tas fram var en industriell sensor, som skulle anvnda sig av IIoT-teknologin, Industrial Internet of Things, som fretaget utvecklar. Tidpunkten nr det hr arbete utfrdes, CombiQ hade inga egna produkter men all teknologi som sitter i sensorerna. Fr att ta fram en industriell sensor fr CombiQ behvde inte bara mjligheterna att tillverka en produkt utefter funktionerna underskas. Varumrket behvde ven analyseras fr att utveckla en
