Oplægget blev holdt ved InfinIT-arrangementet "Temadag om evaluering af fysiske prototyper og produkter", der blev afholdt den 16. januar 2014.

2. DELTA – Technology pathfinders for 70 years

3. 1941: Started as acoustics lab
(Lydteknisk Laboratorium)

4. DELTA today
We still help your ideas meet the real world
270 employees out of which 50% are engineers
Annual turnover 35 Mill Euro and 50% export
2,000 customer assignments annually
Headquarters in Hørsholm
Departments in Odense, Nordborg, Sønderborg, Västerås, Wales and Aarhus

5. Microelectronics
Microchips for every industry

6. Body sensors
Intelligent health monitoring

7. Optical filters – mobile
retroreflectometer

8. Testing
Every year we perform around 2,500 product
tests, which all helps to ensure that your
product can be successful in the real world
Requirements:
Users:
Does your product
comply with statutory
requirements
and standards?
What do users think
and how can we raise
the quality of your
product?
Electromagnetic
noise:
Environmental
impact:
Function &
technology:
Can your electronic
product coexist with
other electronic
products?
What effect do the
weather and
environment have
on your product?
Does the technology
work?

9. Product development
All product development starts with a good
idea
- which must also turn into a good business
80 %
- of all products fail
Idea &
requirements
Manufacturing &
operations

10. Creating the right product?

12. CREATIVITY

13. CREATIVITY: TRANSFORMING AND COMBINING [”EVERYTHING IS A REMIX”]

14. USER RESEARCH

15. TECHNOLOGICAL EXCELLENCE

16. CO-CREATION

17. ”Supposing
is
good,
finding
out
is
be1er.”

23. Sketch to prototype continuum:
(Bill Buxton, Microsoft)

24. Sketch vs. Prototype

25. ELECTRONIC SKETCHING

26. 4 Phases:
1 / Problem understanding
Investigating and defining values and needs for the involving stakeholders.
2 / Explorative mockup
A visual representation of concept that forms the basis for common
understanding.
3 / Working sketch
A working Eletronic Sketch that can be tested on users. Focus on function and
interaction.
4 / Detailed sketch
A working model that can be tested on users. Focus on function, interaction
and form.
