DESIGN NAME: Eae
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Vehicle Lifting Machine
INSPIRATION: The automobile lifting machine lacks the innovation breakthrough in the use experience and the structure function. The user is very easy in the operating process to feel wearily, not only this can cause the working efficiency lowly extremely to be also easy to appear the security hidden danger.As a traditional industrial equipment production enterprise, in the present increasingly fierce competition, EAE hopes to promote the brand through the redesign its two section automobile lifting machine the overall image and the competitive power. Through to the product present situation analysis and to its goal user's investigation and study, the research team discovered the promotion user operation experience and the operating efficiency are the entire research project core subjects. Finally, after the countless plan test, the research team finally has obtained the satisfying design achievement.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Through innovation and optimization of the lift experience, not only from experience, and operational efficiency to enhance product value, also based on these changes for EAE brand image upgrade found a way out, the upgrade will not only attract a large number of orders for the customer, but also guiding effect on other product development within the industry, end users experience upgrades for the industry-led.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: This innovation optimization research take operates the lifting machine specialized technician as the center, in the excavation operation experience, the working efficiency and the protection safe three dimension question and the hidden danger, brand-new dimension setting up lifting machine profession new range pole. We increased in the lifting arm terminal have been advantageous for the user with ease to observe the vehicle bottom situation the convex mirror, increased the inclination angle in the lifting arm top to conform to the technician to be familiar with moves the lifting arm with the foot the custom, increased the skid resistant texture on the lifting tray. As well as for satisfies the user to operate the demand redesign operation pressed key blindly.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: started in November 2013 in China
finished in May 2014 in China
FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Meta, Strategic and Service Design

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: The research team has manufactured the lower range model and the array pressed key model, simulates services technician's in operation use custom. And derived has most tallied services the technician cognition the pressed key shape and the distribution. In addition, the research team also pressed the proportion to manufacture many plan model, invited to visit the user participation project evaluation, through proved in the research process intermediate stage test and the later period, derives the concrete solution, and considered in the extreme situation the use demand.Simulation of extreme conditions: has produced an array of solid texture model and let a mechanic to engine oil on their hands and wearing gloves impregnated with oil operations in two extremes of testing to produce the best textured anti-slip effect. Sectioning: habits and we take technology to record user actions and lifts the whole process of interaction with the information in chronological order combed and cut slices into details by stage of development side by side test and finally draw the conclusion. The user participatory design: invited users interviewed before participating in the design process tests review function, keypad, maintenance experience etc put forward their own ideas and creativity
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: For optimal experience, the team at the end of the lifting arm increased signs so that technicians don't have to aim the face close to the ground to lift the arm position, reduce operation fatigue. Changing the lift arm to the top into shape with a certain inclination, so that technicians can travel more efficiently with your feet to push the lifting arm. To enhance efficiency, increase can increase friction for lifting pallets of textures, avoiding oil skidding. Redefining the shape and arrangement of keys, so that technicians can clearly distinguish in blind when you can rely on touch keys. Moreover, in order to protect the safety of operator and maintenance of vehicles, the team recommended for added protection pad on the bottom of the lift arm and change the shape of protectors, to adapt them to various models of car door.

Main objectives research groups are involved in this study experienced maintenance technicians and lift sales, they are the main used car lift and contact groups. This project for 12-bit automotive technicians carried out in-depth research. Maintenance technicians and research teams to carry out a detailed study, and allowed the research team to observe and record them in the actual use conditions of the procedure. These respondents also participated in the later design scheme evaluation and action buttons design.
In this study, the team unearthed the maintenance technicians in the operation's needs and pain points, and will find the conclusions into design solutions, to guide the later product design work.
Through innovation and optimization of the lift experience, not only from experience, and operational efficiency to enhance product value, also based on these changes for EAE brand image upgrade found a way out, the upgrade will not only attract a large number of orders for the customer, but also guiding effect on other product development within the industry, end users experience upgrades for the industry-led.
After studying the optimization of export solutions to redesign products, enabling customers to new products including Germany Frankfurt Automechanika aftermarket equipment such as shine on the exhibition, make the customer's corporate and brand image are recognized by the public and higher degrees
