November 24th 2009 | Q System Pallet Dispenser
Q System is a leading provider of handling systems for all areas of production - and for all lines of business. Through a series of user centered observations and systematic analysis of Q's current pallet dispenser, DN has assisted in the design and development of the new design. The new design has led to Q System developing a brand new stand-alone unit that runs on electrical power only, whereas the old used both electrical power and pressurised air. Maintenance has been greatly improved, making the all-new mechamics much more accesible.
October 22nd 2009 | Procare's transcontinental strategy
Just after the end of the Hong Kong Electronics Show 2009, Procare brought the Taiwanese and the Canadian marketing staff together with the managers of the Procare factories grouped in Hui Zhou, southern China - and DN from Europe. Through 3 days of meetings and a strategic workshop lead by DN's Judy Huang, Procare's leaders debated and innovated over strategies and targets for the future.
DN used the strategic game "Breakaway" as a focus. Not only did the participants from the three different continents share in creating new ideas, they also understood Procare better and developed a shared consensus.
October 1st 2009 | Q - Putting the user first
As part of the 7+7 Project - a design program supported by the Danish Enterprise and Construction Authority - DN did an extensive analysis of Q System's now defunct pallet dispenser. By observing and interviewing current users and clients and documenting our findings using pictures, video and text, DN was able to expand and support Q System's own project specification and supply Q with a groundbreaking design. User centred design allows for both client and designers to obtain insights into the way users use and experience products and services.
