we had done our presentation on 2/9...product specification and house of quality are the components that we not include yet inside the powerpoint presentation..after this we try to work on the development of embodiment design and prototype design.

This video inspires us to develop a system that can overcome situation like this. We do not have to worry about wet laundry anymore if rain occurs while we are away from home...:-)

Based on our desired design, we came into a conclusion on how the system (ICDryer) operates. The above flowchart describes the operation of the dryer.

Pugh's method to determine suitable mechanical concept of ICDryer

2009-09-01T08:18:00.000-07:00

Pugh’s Method

By using Pugh’s method, we be able to select the best way to build our ICDryer’s mechanical parts. We have selected 5 difference way to design our project which are motor+chain, motor+gear,hydraulic,pneumatic and motor+belt. We pick motor + belt as our reference. We decided to choose motor+gear concept after using this method.

Customer Need Identification

1) Define the scope.

Product : Intelligent Dryer

Target customer : IIUM Student and Staff (Primary target).

Will be introduced to public if we achieve 50% of or primary target.

2) Gather Raw Data.

We choose to conduct two methods to gather raw data.

Interview.
Questionnaire.

3) Organizing customer need.

What is ICDryer

- A system which can help persons to dry their clothes eventhough they don’t have enough space to dry their clothes. Example : flat residents and IIUM students
- To ease in monitoring their clothes
- Rain sensitive dryer

Why do we need ICDryer

- Reduce drying time
- Less space required
- Safer
- Easy to maintain

How it works

- It starts manually (switch), move down the rack
- The clothes are left until certain time (timer in the controller box).
- If the rain started, it move up the rack and the system is off.

Features

- Dryer with fan
- Fabric refresher (anti odor)
- Water sensor (rain detector)
- Less energy use
- UV filter
