Industrial Design an Engineering

If you can imagine it, we can design and create it.

 

The Industrial Design and the Human Factors Time Zones:

 

The process of human factor time zones was conceptualized by Lill John and Fred Vierheller, SolidMaster's CEO over years of development in the mechanical, medical and motorcycles product fields. It is based upon the recognition that various people using a product at different times have different modes, needs and requirements.

This is based on creating human interaction zones that are studied based on ergonomics, cognitive psychology, and detail actions, duties. 

The process of time zones can be divided into two types: Firstly the chronological process or the haphazard process. The chronological process analyzes not only the specific HF time zone, but the transition between these two events. The haphazard process needs to look at these possible HF time zone transitions in a non chronological process which has additive layers for product state, user and multi zone transition points. 

Based on the complete HF time zone structure there is now a specific product now described. How this happens is now an interaction of human factors and implementation elements:  industrial design and mechanical engineering.

This process is to create mock-ups of possible solutions to these zones in physical and/or software form. Then to test them with all the potential user ergonomic and demographic types happens while observing success and failure of ideas. For more complex and multiple zones typically a mock-up for each zone may be important. Then after the first initial study is done one can see where one mock-up may work for all or many of the zones. The next artful requirement is to look at the various HF zones and transition states to see if the mock-ups are similar between states or understand the differences and see what synthesis can take place to create a logical solution that does not interfere with engineering and design
