The aim of this project was to design library management system devices based on Radio-frequency Identification (RFID), which would cater to the Indian market and also be able to compete globally.
The project started with extensive field and off-field research. Valuable inputs from the research were brought together to understand and categorize the unmet needs of the users as well as the desired features of the entire product range. Simultaneously, an ergonomic study was undertaken to get better perception of working posture, working comfort zones for different percentile users, accessibility, problem areas and so on. Based on the outcome, scenarios were built to get design directions and possible opportunities for design intervention.
One of the key aspects of the ideation process was to define a unique form language for all the products, keeping in mind that they should belong to a family of product line-up. Materials and finishes were also decided and high-density Styrofoam mock-ups were made to refine the form language of the products. These inputs translated into a CAD model based on Non-Uniform Rational B-Spline (NURBS). After refining the model, details such as interface of the product, space for branding, parting lines, etc. were added to the CAD model. These products were then rendered to perceive their actual look and feel before they were transferred to the engineering team for additional manufacturing details.
This design creates an aesthetic based on the contextual scenario and current observed trends for this particular segment of products that will be very functional and easy to use. I now know that product design has more to do with understanding people and their behaviour, than understanding products.
