0001BEACON FORKLIFT/PEDESTRIAN SAFETY DEVICE Reducing the number of accidents between forklifts and pedestrians by giving them information about each others presence.

Around 900 accidents involving forklifts occur in Sweden every year. This makes it one of the most dangerous tools in the workplace today. As the need to move goods around industry, warehouses and just about everywhere else will only get bigger. Bringing down the numbers of accidents has for a long time been a high priority for employers, organizations and unions but the number of accidents haven’t changed during the last twenty years.

Field studies

Feedback from warehouse personal

To make a sizable impact did was material from both Sweden and abroad studied to find the largest group of accidents.

Field studies where conducted to confirm the finding but also get a better understanding of how it is to work in these environments.

After the ideation phase was a second visit to AIT conducted to get feedback on the different concepts.

Carried by pedestrians

Many of the active systems worked by mimicking systems found in traffic signals. Requiring either one or both parties to stop and see possible dangers before continuing their work. By creating a new product that could warn pedestrians and forklift without requiring them to stop completely can lead to a product better suited for the workplace.

FINAL CONCEPT

Small devices containing a LED light and a sensor are placed alongside the racking systems.

When a sensor notices movement in front of it does it talk to the other

devices that have notices movement.

Both devices then turn on their LED lights. The effect is then such that the lights show movement that happens behind the racks.

Final scenario

SPEED OF FORKLIFT

To keep the signal effective is it important to lower the number of false-positive results. By drawing up possible scenarios of forklifts and pedestrians moving through the enviroment can their possible paths be determined. The speed and direction can then be used to draw up rules for when the device has to warn the involved parties.

Possible routes for the forklift is based on the speed at which it is travelling

Stopping distance visuallized at a certain speed

To remove noise does the system need to know when two objects wont meet.

Construction

The product in its exploded view. Assembly is done from left to right fastening the different pieces onto the rear baseplate. Being that the product will be placed in a working environment is it constructed to be easily disassembled and repaired. The top and bottom white cover is made as a protective case preventing lose objects from scratching the transparent plastic.

Speaker

Speaker

The speaker is used to produce a audio signal giving a second possibility for the pedestrian the signal.

LIDAR

The main sensor uses “LIDAR� to read the speed and distance of different objects moving throughout the environment. This allows the sensor to interpret their different paths and stopping distances allowing it to notify when the situation needs to.

Mounting solution

The mounting solution need to be able to fit multiple different hole patterns. The mount also need to position the two devices around the corner of the pallet rack.

Power

The device stores electricity gathered from the solar panels in a battery pack. This allows the device to have sufficient power when the lights are turned on and makes use of the downtime to charge the batteries up.

Warehouse Warning System The 0001BEACON is a sensor that uses LIDAR technology to scan the environment for pedestrians and forklifts. By determining their direction of travel and speed can the device calculate when they risk meeting each other. When the two are at a risk of crossing paths does the device, start signalling to tell them both to increase their awareness.

DISTANCE COFFEE BREAK When more people are working from home, are the important hallway and lunchroom conversations lost - or could they be brought back?

Meetings don’t just take place inside conference roams, but also by the printer, coffee machine or lunch break. These small conversations help and build a community within a company. But when more people are working from home are these opportunities often lost. Making it possible to take part in small talk even when working out of the office was my take on the next generation of Konftel device.

RESEARCH

Problem; Disconnect between office and remote workers

Disconnect Working out of the office More people are using the possibility of working from outside of the office. The personal computer and later mobile revolution have made it easier then ever to get work done from home or on the go. This change does come with many benefits such as parents being able to work from home when their children are sick. Having a mobile workforce can also allow companies to use more flexible office solutions, reducing the cost of desk-space.

However the new mobile working life also comes with new challenges. Getting detached from fellow coworkers can lead to extra stress, guilt and even burnouts. It also lowers the ability for companies to effectively coordinate work. Making yourself seen and heard at the office could therefore be good for both the employer and employee.

Solution; Bridging gap between office and remote workers

Direct connection

Connecting the employees at the office with those working remotely could increase the possibility of spontaneous meetings which helps to exchange the combined knowledge within a company.

Ideation and development

The new product much like the old conference phone is to be placed at the center stage of a table. A confident yet clean form can be both the center of attention and conform to the ever changing situations at a work place. The transparent screen contributes to by making the resting unit into a glass sculpture and the active unit into a transmission of the person calling.

Movement is key in following along in a conversation The movement of the display allows the caller to follow along in the conversation just like in normal conversation. Allowing the caller to look at whoever speaking and using non verbal communication to direct attention. And if something happens in the room, say the postman delivers those sweet new coffee mugs is the caller not dependent on someone else to move them or adjust the camera.

HOW DO YOU STOP A BUS? Anyone who has ever travelled using public transport know the dullness of looking at the horizon spying for the bus to finally arrive.

The dullness can quickly change to panic if the passenger attention drifts away and he or she doesn’t see the bus. Making a visual representation of the time left until the bus arrives, and add on a notification solution for the passengers can this situation be made much less stressful.

Finding out what’s going on To start of did RISE send us out with a task of filming incidents that we found around bus travel.

Jonathan in our group spotted that people are required to move forward to indicate that they want to go with the bus. After deciding to continue work with this situation did we take a step back and interviewed passengers, bus drivers and the bus company Ultra. We found that many passengers feel that timing the bus can be hard leading both to long waiting times and a feeling of no control for the passenger.

Interventions

Intervention #1 “The butler” Bus indication system In our first intervention did we want to see how passengers would react if they didn’t need to look out for the bus. We found that people didn’t want to lose their sense of control.

Intervention #2 “Automatic” Bus indication system In our second intervention build on the first one and explored more on how people could become more relaxed at the bus stop. Making it easier for passengers to get notified about the bus seemed like a step in the right direction.

Intervention #3 “A day in the life” - of a bus driver From our interviews with the bus driver did we find that reading body language can be a big strain over a working day. We wanted to try it ourselves and the test showed that the time to decide if you’re going to stop or not is extremely short.

Ideation

Light proved to be a good way to show information to the passengers, we used boards to decide on a design direction.

We divided ourselves into two teams one working on the pilar and the team I was in worked on the animation. Taking care on keeping both teams working towards the same goal.

Making separate colour coded bubbles for each bus makes it easy for the passengers to quickly find the information they are looking for.

REAL TIME INFORMATION, TRANSMITTED IN A NEW RELAXING WAY The final concept has the information pilar in the center visualizing the time until the bus arrives both to the person looking from a far and those up close. Different configurations of weather proofing can then be attached to the pillar to give waiting passengers the protection from the elements. The different seasons put different demands on the

waiting area being open and light for the summer and warm and inviting during the winter. As well as being easy to keep clean from the snow and rain.

By making it easier then ever to navigate the city using public transport can LUX help increase the movement throughout the city.

POC 100 - FIREMAN’S HELMET Fire, darkness, debris and smoke - some of the many challenges a fireman meets every day.

The fireman’s helmet required certain functions, light, reflective surface, water runoff among others, to allow the needed protection and usability. Making these elements flow together into one flowing form that gave the user a more tailored experience was the challenge in this project.

CURRENT PRODUCTS

Brand analysis

Since the very first skiing helmets have Poc had a strong focus on safety.

Since then have more products been added to the repertoire but still keeping with the initial focus off safety.

Another field where protection is a key factor would be for fire-fighters and emergency personal. Applying POC’s careful use of materials and defined form elements onto a helmet with new needs for heat, debris and lighting started by analysing the Poc brand.

POC is a Swedish company with a strong mission to do the best we can to possibly save lives and to reduce the consequences of accidents for gravity sports athletes and cyclists.

Clay modeling To develop the two dimensional sketches into a three dimensional form was clay used since it allows for an unlimited number of iterations.

Water runoff Making sure that water and debris would naturally fall of the helmet adds both comfort and protection to the user.

Flashlight Integrating a protected lighting solution into the product was important to aid the user in low lit situations.

Reflective To keep personal safe when working inside dark and smoke filled spaces is it important that they are easy to spot. By adding a reflective material to the rear surface of the helmet can spotting of the user be made easier.

Water runoff

Protective equipment When entering into a burning building is everything a potential threat. By making the helmet fit closer to the wearers head can the form be made smaller lowering the risk of bumping into structures improving user comfort. Adding

an integrated light can bring more visibility while navigating inside low light areas increasing effectiveness. And making sure that the wearer is visibility by making the helmet reflective helps to improve the safety of the firefighter using it.

AIT - DESIGN MANUAL How to make a product stand out when it is working next to an airplane?

AIT had a vision where a person entering into an airplane production plant would recognize their brand and products. To achieve this did they want a new powerful image that would take more place in this intensive and colourful settings. This was done by first making a design manual that brought a consistency to the brand and it’s products and then applying this new form language to one of their products.

Standard logotype

When using the AIT logo on a product it should always be white and placed on a surface that is at least 80% black.

It is perfectly acceptable to put the logo directly on a composite or metal surface as long as it fulfils the required amount of blackness.

The standard logotype consists of the symbol and the name and the AIT colours. The name is always centred with the symbol. The distance to surrounding objects from the logotype needs to be at least the size of the A in the logotype. The standard logotype is always on white background. Use the standard logo on documents and websites.

We trust our lives to the aerospace industry every time we travel long distances, how would we feel if the tools used to build these vehicles looked any less precise?

LOGOTYPE

The overall graphic expression should strive to be symmetric or at least ”semi-symmetric” to further enhance the expression of omni-directional capabilities. Directional decals and FWD text omitted from the symmetry rule as shown.

Like a fine Italian made suit every AIT product is tailored to have a perfect fit for each unique customer. Adapting the technology after the needs and purposes of their special work-flow and environment.

Performance - AIT Mobility will offer production in small parties without compromising on the exactness of the product so that it fulfils the high performance standards of the industry.

Innovation is at the core of AIT, without which the company would not exist the way it does today. New problems mean new opportunities for better and more innovative solutions..

Unique solutions - AIT Mobility will offer tailored integration solutions that solves unique situations in the production facilities.

We aim to meet our customers high demands in regards to functionality, quality and deliver-ability.

Innovative

It is important to consider the way in which a brand is Perceived and the way it is reflected by its’ products.

This chart of core values should be used as a tool to calibrate the visual and functional language of every AIT made product.

Cutting edge - AIT Mobility’s vision is to constantly stay on top of the needs of our customers in aerospace production.

HANDLES

HMI GUIDELINES

Use only AIT’s own handles on products to create a cohesive end user experience. A large handle is available for placement on top of hatches that are to be lifted off.

Interactive objects such as screens, buttons and remote controllers should be placed as a group. Keep the elements inside a rectangle and let them work together with surrounding form elements.

A smaller waist is a way to enhance the structure around the wheels. Together with the wheelhouse feature is focus moved to AIT;s primary technological know-how.

The logo area constitutes an independent area and should be isolated by other graphic elements while maintaining the silhouette.

The area in its function as a frame shouldn’t strive to far away from the circumference-box of the logo, i.e not be to long or to tall.

Short pieces of text framed by a larger decal should not be centred within its frame. The text should rest slightly above the bottom of the frame and at the front. The frame for this kind of text can take any dimension, e.g be long and narrow. The frame is not limited by its proximity to a circumference-box.

The graphic layout uses lightweight graphic elements to enhance the brand identity on company related prints.

Steel surfaces should be finished in matte paint according to the customers specifications. In the cases where the customer doesn’t specify a colour use AIT Red. Graphic elements use a black decal in either gloss or semi-gloss finish.

The composite material used should be left unfinished if the colour is at least 80% black. Otherwise coat with paint to bring the value to 80% black.

The logo area constitutes an independent area and should be isolated by other graphic elements while maintaining the silhouette.

The area in its function as a frame shouldn’t strive to far away from the circumference-box of the logo, i.e not be to long or to tall.

FWD Direction

Short pieces of text framed by a larger decal should not be centred within its frame. The text should rest slightly above the bottom of the frame and at the front. The frame for this kind of text can take any dimension, e.g be long and narrow. The frame is not limited by its proximity to a circumference-box.

NO STEP Increase company visibility One factor for AIT is that their customers want their products in specific colours based on the plant and task that it is going to work within. Creating a colour scheme that would work with any colour regardless of brightness or saturation was a key part in creating recognition of the brand and it’s products.

Informative graphics To create a recognizable feature on the products that would show the same whatever the colour scheme did we add a graphic element to the side of the product.

The graphic works together with the form to create a direction to the product. Which helps the operators when they are moving the product in manual mode. The

graphics also becomes the backing for the AIT logotype.

This ensures that the logo always stands out no matter what colour that the product is painted in. The manual also specifies how the logo is to be placed on the graphic to make sure that the logotype is always visible and stays clear from any other text or element.

Steel finished in semi - gloss paint

FORM

Composite - Semi gloss

Decal gloss/Semi - gloss

Non-objects

The form is what brings the core values of AIT to fruition. This is achieved by bringing features together to create coherent blocks visualizing the reliable and adaptable nature of AIT;s products.

Making the graphic flow along the form in sharp graphics display the precise control in manufacturing that helps to bring innovative ideas to the next generation of mobility solutions.

Steel surfaces should be finished in matte paint according to the customers specifications. In the cases where the customer doesn’t specify a colour use AIT Red. Graphic elements use a black decal in either gloss or semi-gloss finish.

The composite material used should be left unfinished if the colour is at least 80% black. Otherwise coat with paint to bring the value to 80% black.

Material usage To create consistency over the different products where the number of materials and surface finishes reduced.

Each finish would then coincide with the function of the given surface. Surfaces aimed at human interaction such as handles and stepping areas where given a darker finish as they see the most wear. The darker plastics where

chosen instead of finished materials as the plastic will wear instead of leaving flakes falling of.

The surfaces made to be painted in the customer specified colour shall support a painted finish of semi or high gloss to match the other products at the customers production plant.

Emphasis core product, wheels AIT had a lot of knowhow surrounding the wheels and considered it to be one of their core products. They where therefore positive about putting more emphasis on the wheels. But to add to the safety of working around the machine was it favorable if it could be done without actually exposing the wheels.

Moving the next generation of airplanes Every AIT product is supposed to live at least as long as the production line in which it serves. Reliability and robustness in form as well as function is important.

We trust our lives to the aerospace industry every time we travel long distances, how would we feel if the tools used to build these vehicles looked any less precise?

DISTRICT HEATING How can the district heating central help give home owners confidence to play around with their heating solution?

Umeå Energi is a local energy, heating and internet provider to the city of Umeå. They wanted to be able to give their customers a new district heating central that better embodied the company values.

5 WEEKS - SPRING 2016 In collaboration with Lisa Lydemar, Ulf Lindqvist (Umeå Energi)

CORE VALUES

Responsibility (Ansvar)

Pantone 1235 CMYK 0.30.100.0

Simplicity (Enkelhet)

Pantone 348 CMYK 100.10.90.0

Umeå Energi is a local energy service provider that delivers heating, cooling, waste and electricity to customers in and around the city of Umeå. The heating central that the company offers today has a strong industrial feel to it being developed mostly for ease of serviceability.

Umeå Energi would however like to be able to present a heating central that gives a better user experience embodies the company values.

To do this did Umeå Energi contacted us to create a concept that would better encapsulates the company’s values of Responsibility, Simplicity and Local.

New product

Local (Närhet)

Key Problem;s

Hard to use controls for the average user

Solution; User centered interface

Separating settings for users and service technician

Product doesn’t transmit company values

User interface that helps the user

Not inviting for user to interact the product

A device that welcomes interaction

3 Inside mechanics 1

The inside of the heating central is normally hidden behind a metal door that is lifted off when access is needed. Although the inside of the product give a industrial feeling does the service technicians try and encourage home owners to open the door and learn to adjust certain basic functions. Many users do however describe a feeling of insecurity as they are afraid to do something wrong.

2

The two safety valves, placed at the middle top and bottom right on the current device, as well as the water valve need to be activated manually. It does also improve the life of the valves if they are regularly exercised by the home owner.

Making it easy to see the difference between settings meant for the service technician and those meant to be configured by the home owner would help give the home owner confidence when using the device.

Removable front cover

A demand from UmeĂĽ Energi was to keep the current products ease of service. The solution is a latch system that allows the front cover to be removed without any tools. To allow for further disassembly is the sides and bottom cover a separate piece screwed to the wall and can therefore be removed without the need to disassemble the heating system.

Turning the valves can be a challenge for older people.

A raised grip make it easier to turn the valves by giving the user more leverage.

2

Indicating when a valve need service.

The interface point the user towards the correct lever which also light up to guide the user.

One interaction area Making one interaction area containing both the screen and manual controls makes it easy for the user to find what they are looking for.

SKILL-BUILDING PROJECTS

Solidworks This project started as a small assignment in a course about design history. The assignment was to over a day create a product that follow the design philosophy of a historical movement. I choose to work with functionalism. The idea was that the user can use a glass container that they already have in there home.

I then used this base during our Solidworks course. Here the assignment was to create a model of a product during a week.
