Resumo: | We live in an era with an increasing number of new ideas for the creation of new products. However, this raises the question of how to bring these ideas and concepts to the market. This is where we can find MAKE IT, a company that provides help in all the stages of the product development lifetime. This company can help in the phase of creating the prototype, in counseling for the best root or technologies to use, or even in the massification phase of the project. This report follows the work done in three distinct projects in this company. For each one will be described the creative processes and methodologies utilized. Two of these projects are real live cases of market-ready products. The first project presents the construction of a functional prototype, ready to begin the certification phase. It’s laboratory equipment on the factory floor. This required the construction of an interface with the user, the realization of the control structures, and the communication between the equipment and its sensor/ actuators. The second project features the construction phase of two distinct units responsible for transforming a normal water heater into a smart one. The first unit is a laboratory version with a wide gamma of sensors which allows the analysis of the system in study. To accomplish this, it’s necessary to create a fiscal unit as well as a few functions to retrieve and process the data. The second unit is a market-ready one, which means that it has the form factor and the functionalities of the finished product. It shows the construction phase alongside the methods and materials used. An analysis of the data collected with the laboratory unit it’s presented in this section with the objective of collecting information and knowledge, allowing the reduction of the number of sensors. The third and final project is divided into three smaller ones. None of these were destined for the market. Instead, they were built to allow the improvement of the internal process of the company. The first one presents the ideology used for the assembly line in a way that provides the best space management and improvement of its utilization. The second one features a timesaving and error-decreasing platform for programming the chips used in some projects. Finally, in the third one is presented a piece of equipment responsible for performing the capture and processing of printed circuit boards where it’s introduced the requisites and an analysis of some processing algorithms. |

Como tornar estas ideias numa oferta real para o mercado? É aqui que entra a MAKE IT. A empresa oferece um acompanhamento que pode ir desde a fase de planeamento até à fase de construção de um primeiro protótipo, ou ainda até à fase de expansão e produção em massa do produto. Este relatório acompanha três projetos realizados nesta empresa e, para cada um deles, estão descritos os processos criativos utilizados e as metodologias implementadas. Dois destes projetos são casos reais de produtos que foram para o mercado. No primeiro projeto fez-se a construção de um protótipo funcional, pronto para entrar numa fase de certificação. Trata-se de um equipamento laboratorial em chão de fábrica, para o qual foi necessário construir uma interface com o utilizador, desenvolver as estruturas de controlo e a comunicação com os sensores e atuadores do equipamento. O segundo projeto apresenta a fase de construção de duas unidades responsáveis por tornar um termoacumulador normal num termoacumulador inteligente. A primeira unidade é uma versão de laboratório que permite avaliar o sistema em estudo e, para isso, foi necessário construir a unidade física e algumas primitivas para a análise dos dados recolhidos através de um conjunto de sensores. A segunda unidade trata-se de um produto já pronto para ir para o mercado, ou seja, apresenta o formato e funcionalidades finais. O projeto apresenta as etapas de construção e quais os métodos e materiais utilizados para tal. Este apresenta também uma análise dos dados recolhidos na primeira fase, de forma a retirar informações e fazer correlações, permitindo assim a redução do número de sensores na segunda fase. O terceiro projeto é subdividido em três subprojetos que não se destinam a um fim comercial, mas sim a melhorar a qualidade e a rapidez dos serviços prestados pela empresa. No primeiro subprojeto, é apresentada a ideologia utilizada para a construção de uma linha de montagem para garantir a melhor gestão do espaço e a tornar a sua utilização o mais intuitiva possível. No segundo, é explicada a construção de uma plataforma para a programação de chips; e o terceiro subprojeto consiste na construção de um equipamento para a inspeção visual e automática de placas de circuitos, sendo apresentados os requisitos, a unidade de controlo e os testes de alguns algoritmos de processamento de imagem.2023-04-08T00:00:00Z2021-07-22T00:00:00Z2021-07-22info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10773/32276engTavares, Miguel Ângelo Silvainfo:eu-repo/semantics/embargoedAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2024-02-22T12:02:22Zoai:ria.ua.pt:10773/32276Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-20T03:04:02.606913Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
