PDP Projects part 2: D-Rain & UpWise16.04.2009 00:00
What is PDP? Product Development Project (PDP) course is primarily aimed at students of engineering, industrial design, or marketing who are interested in product development of investment or consumer goods. The course is intended for the final stage of studies. Studying is based on problem based learning (PBL) philosophy. Most of the problems are given and sponsored by manufacturing companies, who are searching for innovative cooperation with the next generation of product developers. The PDP-course is operating in Design Factory, which is the first building of the forthcoming Aalto University. The physical and mental environment of Design Factory, constantly under development, is designed to support the teams in their development work from the idea phase to the prototyping and closure as well.
PDP Projects The Product Development Projects will be presented on the Otaniemi.fi news two at a time.
D-rain The purpose of rainwater systems (RWS) is to prevent water damage to the structure they are installed on. However, they have stayed practically unchanged for over 50 years despite the fact that architectural and visual trends have shifted dramatically. The aim of project D-rain is to develop an innovative and practical solution for RWS for Ruukki Construction. Our solution tries to capture most of the relevant factors such as visual integrity, cost efficiency, ease of installation and maintenance. Sponsored by: Ruukki, project homepage: http://www.drain.fi
Upwise - An intelligent hook A hook is an ancient innovation originally used for fishing. Later on, hooks have been used for many kinds of purposes including lifting objects. In cranes, hooks have been relatively similar to each other and always suffered from a lack of intelligence. It's about time to give brains to industrial hooks and make lifting things a bit easier. Project UpWise aims to bring a new perspective on industrial cranes and innovate new ideas of how to create an intelligent hook instead of only developing the crane itself.
