Research Study 146 / 200

Equipment exteriors lack clearly organized functional zones

Cooling vents, controls, handling points and maintenance openings are scattered, undermining a coherent design.

Research Focus: Industrial Equipment and Professional ToolsProblem identification → Design validation → Implementation

Three-step solution method

  1. Translate different functional requirements into a unified arrangement of exterior zones.
  2. Establish consistent placement rules for openings, seams, and labels.
  3. Review a full equipment model with engineering teams and users.

Key Deliverables

  • Functional Zoning Map
  • Integrated Exterior Design
  • Review records

Verification Approach

Assess how users understand functional zones, reach controls, and perceive visual continuity.
