1. The design process

2. The brief

3. The design and manufacture of a new generation of biometric access control systems with the ability to distribute and integrate into new and existing card access control systems supplied by existing and leading UK and EU manufactures. Objectives of brief

4. Minimalistic in design and aesthetically pleasing Vandal resistant and IP rated to IP65 Easy to use Easy to install and operate Good ergonomic design Brief – Core requirements

5. The current solutions are: The biometric readers are too large and expensive for large scale installations Many have design defects which mean they cannot be located externally as they are neither weather or vandal proof Have poor compatibility and robustness when delivered to the UK and European markets. Competitive products

7. Product Benefits: Ability to integrate to existing systems in the market place Fit for purpose for the required environment Aesthetically designed to meet customer demands IP rated Vandal resistant Minimalistic Scalable Networkable Lower cost to market Market specific software Harsh environment reader One to one and one to many matching USP’s of proposed ievo reader

9. Sketch concepts & ideas

12. Then onto foam models

13. Final design drawings

17. The Journey & the problems Be prepared for mistakes to be made along the way You will change your design again & again & again….. Make sure you have a close relationship with you design house Invest money in SLA’s and prototype units Have a time scale and then add to it! Have an initial budget and contingency budget
