Shaping flexible product experience based on user behavior

Different from the cold image of medical equipment in the past, LKK has made it into a pet-type delivery robot with a round body and warm emotions under the investigation of a large number of medical staff’s usage habits. The slightly raised head not only simulates the intimacy of a pet looking up at its owner, and the screen with adjustable height and viewing angle can also meet users and scenes of different heights.

In the design of the Saite intelligent delivery robot (AGV) , medical staff can scan the code, face, punch card, fingerprint, and other different verification methods to unlock the medical box, so as to ensure the isolation of materials and provide convenience for users as much as possible. The design also meets the needs of products that are easy to open and save space under many medical devices in the hospital.

Investigate market demands and scenarios to create a mechanical design

Since the delivery of materials in different areas of the hospital can easily lead to the spread of pollutants, LKK has created a mechanical design for the Saite intelligent delivery robot (AGV) that can be sterilized in the machine and the boxes on the inner wall can be taken out after conducting market research and product research. Under normal circumstances, it is necessary to ensure the regular cleaning of the machine under the normal transportation of materials. At the same time, the cleaning area in the hospital also enables the Saite intelligent delivery robot (AGV) to bathe and disinfect the outside in time after delivery, reducing the possibility of cross-infection of personnel in the isolation area, reducing the number of times that medical staff travel back and forth between clean areas and polluted areas, saving manpower and reducing the risk of infection.

This is also one of the reasons why Saite intelligent delivery robot (AGV) has been rapidly invested in many hospitals during the epidemic.

Breakthrough thinking creates innovative smart functions

Due to a large number of corridors and elevators in the hospital, the usage scenarios are complex. In the intelligent delivery robot (AGV) jointly built by LKK and Saite Robot, the ground-mounted magnetic stripe navigation action used by traditional AGVs is abandoned, and different types of sensors are used by being embedded in the fuselage.

The breakthrough uses radar equipment for positioning. After placing orders online, medical staff can independently carry out mobile delivery between different departments. At the same time, they can count the material distribution volume of different departments, the operation status, and the efficiency of each equipment.

Saite intelligent delivery robot (AGV) can not only avoid obstacles and automatically charge, but also call elevators and pass through safety gates autonomously with the high-precision indoor navigation system.

In the cooperation of the Saite intelligent delivery robot (AGV) project, LKK participated in the whole process, from market research to product performance analysis, to mechanical design. LKK assists with Saite Robot from draft to product launch to ensure the delivery of the highest quality products. Among them, the first consideration of the market also ensures that in the face of emergencies such as epidemics, the products can be guaranteed to enter the market first and be put into use smoothly.

Oil and gas exploration is the key to oil development, traditional exploration means that workers need to take thousands of meters of lines and nearly 100 kilograms of collection equipment to line up over mountains and mountains, which is time-consuming, slow, and difficult high labor costs.

In view of the above pain points, in concept, Sinopec Group Research Institute and LKK jointly proposed SmartPoint intelligent seismic data acquisition node instrument for oil and gas seismic exploration using 5G technology, which not only abandoned the shackles of kilometer cables but also made it easy to deploy due to its small and lightweight size. In the process of operation, workers’ workload and labor costs are greatly reduced.

In the system, LKK helps Sinopec to create real-time and efficient data transmission, breaking through the bottleneck of the existing blind mining nodes lacking real-time data transmission and quality control methods, and realizing the real-time high-speed return of field data in the seismic exploration process and the quality of the operation process. It has the technical characteristics of lightweight, low power consumption, precise synchronization, and supports simultaneous connection of Up to 10,000 devices.

In the implementation of SmartPoint intelligent seismic data acquisition node instrument, the LKKER SCM team solved the above problems in different directions such as performance framework and mechanical design.

SmartPoint intelligent seismic data acquisition node instrument is presented in a cylindrical shape, and through multiple internal hardware layout optimizations, to ensure the space inside the machine and to compress the product volume at the same time, it is convenient for recycling and carrying during transportation. In addition, the four-sided groove mechanical design also enables it to be better inserted into the charging base during charging and is firmly combined with the base, and at the same time, it is convenient for the internal heat sink to be more subtly hidden, ensuring the high-quality integrity of the product.

In the mechanical structure, LKKER SCM team continuously adapts and adjusts the circuit hardware and housing structure, and adds copper sheets inside to better dissipate heat for 5G products. In order to meet the use in harsh environments, the SmartPoint intelligent seismic data acquisition node instrument adopts the design of integrated edge wrapping + sealing ring, and the buttons and conduits are covered with secondary glue to be better waterproof. In addition, the product uses a magnetic switch to ensure waterproof and dustproof performance. The waterproof and breathable valve on the top can also keep the internal and external air pressure in balance when the temperature difference between day and night in the wild living environment is unequal.

This series of breakthrough research and development, after large-scale application in the future, can greatly reduce traditional equipment procurement costs and operation costs, and the cost savings are estimated to reach 50 million USD.

The Project Story

With the rapid increase in the penetration rate of surgical robots, the industry has entered a period of rapid growth. However, in the face of the potential market size of tens of billions, only the da Vinci Surgical System is thriving.

How to develop a better surgical robot and quickly enter the market to occupy the market share, not only relates to the pioneering and practicality of the product itself, but also the sensitivity of the medical industry to find a suitable market entry point, to build a brand in the surgery robot industry.

LKK participated in a large number of market research and product development in the early stage with Rainmed and jointly built a vascular interventional surgery robot and a blood flow reserve fraction measuring instrument.

Cardiovascular disease treatment is a complex operation. It is very easy for the doctors to suffer a physical loss under X-ray irradiation for a long time, and because of the high difficulty of surgical operation, the training period of the doctors is long.

In the vascular interventional surgical robot jointly developed by LKK and Rainmed for the above different pain points, the three parts of the robotic arm manipulator, surgical navigation system, and console are analyzed by radar charts of various design schemes, after balance product design, product functions, human-computer interaction, user experience, etc., and comprehensively consider the advantages and disadvantages, LKK carries out the targeted product innovation.

Doctors can operate the joystick on the console to remotely control the robotic arm for surgery, and operate catheters, guide wires, balloons, and other interventional instruments to move to appropriate positions in the blood vessel under the monitoring system for treatment. In the process of transforming the doctor’s work into mechanical operation, the realization of millimeter-level operation not only improves the accuracy and efficiency of interventional surgery but also reduces the dependence of the operation on the doctor’s personal ability.

In addition, when faced with the serious homogenization of vascular interventional surgery robots and the lack of differentiated innovation, LKK created a family language for Rainmed. Developed the Fractal Flow Reserve Measurement System (FFR) medical trolley to solve the problem of cardiovascular disease diagnosis.

Vascular puncture, angiography, and diagnosis, which take up a lot of time in vascular disease operations, are currently performed only by doctors’ personal experience and skills.

In participating in the research and development of the medical trolley (FFR), LKK conducted follow-up user research and analysis, disassembled the distribution and use process into more than 120 slices, analyzed and optimized the user experience details, and recorded users’ on-site video throughout the whole process. behavioral characteristics. Together, we will create accurate and standardized puncture angiography operations to help doctors obtain high-quality coronary angiography images, so as to further evaluate coronary heart disease and decide whether patients need stent implantation and which surgical treatment to take.

LKK specializes in the medical industry product design and development, DART IMAGING breast cancer detector, BGI integrated gene sequencing machine, Saiter medical distribution robot, Anke spiral CT… From user behavior research to product strategy, mechanical design to the visual definition, and so on, LKK creates the differentiated advantages of various medical products through the full-case product package, seeks breakthroughs in the industry, and helps brands create high-end, cutting-edge products.

We receive thousands of product requests every year, and thousands of customers talk to us about products. We find that many companies prefer to talk about the product itself, the function of the product, the expected design stunning effect of the product, the technology of the product, and the effect of the product realization, but companies with high success rate prefer to talk about the market positioning of the product, purchase scenarios, sales channel characteristics, why this product is made, competitive advantages and detailed user portraits.

In fact, when we make products, we can’t just talk about the elements of the product itself. The product itself is the result. We need to talk more about the cause.

R&D, usually the industry refers to R&D, that is, R (Research) mainly refers to technical development, focusing on technical principles and technical paths; D (Development) refers to product development, and pays more attention to the industrialization of technological achievements, the results of output and market financial success. The product we are talking about here refers to D (Development).

Market Positioning Perspective

What is the target market for your product? The most important mission of a product in an enterprise is a financial success because the enterprise benefits from the exchange of value with the market through the carrier of the product. Market positioning is to allow the product development team to understand that your battlefield is your exchange object, and to understand your exchange value to create the best carrier. How does this relate to making a product? Very important! If you deploy users in first-tier cities, there are key differences from other cities in terms of aesthetic orientation. If your battlefield is in a supermarket, shelf aesthetics are very important, and your products must have visual characteristics that stand out among the rich products on the shelf.

Once you choose a battlefield that can give full play to your own advantages, the product development team can choose from nine to create the best product advantages, and stunning itself is the best expression of clear value. For example, a product in a macaron color has a clear market positioning for white-collar women. Macarons give up on men’s aesthetics but also focus on white-collar women’s aesthetics, thus creating a unique attraction.

User needs perspective

What are the real pain points of your target users? For example, many makers think that users always forget to drink water, so they use smart cups to set the water consumption and reminder functions to solve the problem with technology. However, the real pain point for users may not be drinking reminders, but how to make them like drinking water. 

It is very important to dig out the real pain points. One of LKKERSCM successful cases, the Honeywell air purifier, which we launched in 2015 when the smog and air pollution problem is outstanding,  the product solved the most concerning pain points for home users. We made user insights and found that users are most concerned about the simple replacement of the filter element and the problem of misoperation, and air quality. On the question of how to see the purification effect, we have reshaped the experience of home air purifiers based on these pain points. This user insight has also won the Design Research Awards. 

If the pain points you solve are not universal, you must carefully analyze the real pain points of users through specific methods of user insight and work to ensure that the development team can accurately understand the needs of users.

Competitive perspective

Who are your competitors? Some partners think that they have no competitors, some partners think that competitors’ products should not be considered, and some partners cannot accurately define competitors, so what are competitors of products? From the perspective of users, products that are in the user options in the purchase scenario are your competitors. For example, if a user has newly renovated a house and prepares furniture if you are a sofa seller, you will face competition in the same category and budget competition. Competition in the same category means that your competitors also sell sofas, so what are the reasons for users to buy you? Budget competition means that the total budget of users is limited, so why are users willing to spend more money on sofas instead of other categories such as coffee tables and cabinets? This is competition.

What does the competition do to a product? Differentiation allows you to do more with less. Based on the self-developed air multiplier technology, Dyson launched the product “Bladeless Fan”. The functional utility of the bladeless fan to the user is actually stronger wind. Who are Dyson’s competitors? It is a traditional fan. To win the user group of high-end fans, Dyson created the category of “leafless fans”, which redefines the “leafless” shape on the user’s mind, and the ring hollow strengthens the bladeless visual hammer feature, bringing consumers a distinct memory point to let the product stand out from the other fans.

The last one is the perspective of product strategy thinking is category. Because categories drive users’ purchases, when users have pain points, the mental category that is fed back by the brain is the most primitive motivation for purchasing. It’s a battle of the minds of business.

Category perspective

What kind of mind do you occupy? Category differentiation is the driving force behind business development. In the user’s mind, different categories are used to solve the needs of different scenarios in the user’s life. Demand differentiation brings product differentiation to develop a rich category market. What does the category perspective have to do with product development? Very important. When you create a product, you need to consider the category memory in the user’s mind. The product needs to help the enterprise quickly seize the category mind through visual hammer and experience innovation.

Hair dryer is a mature category with a large market size, high concentration, slowing down, or even stable growth. This means that the user penetration rate is high, the concentration of top brands is high, and it is difficult to stand out of the competition. We helped users create a vertical hair dryer, mainly for the scene of freeing hands at home. Users can brush their mobile phones while blowing their hair, and children can watch picture books while blowing them. Category name, visual hammer, and new brand are the three key elements for launching a new category.

The key opportunity for categories in the mature stage is to focus on creating new categories. Hair dryers have driven the overall sales increase due to category innovations such as high-speed hair dryers, negative ion hair dryers, and vertical hair dryers.

Product development is an investment activity. For the best input-output ratio, we need to think about the goal of product development from the market, so as to achieve the most important financial mission of the product. Therefore, making a product cannot just talk about the product itself. Do you agree?

Error Must Be Zero

In aerospace systems engineering, quality is the life and responsibility of project members. All produced products do not have a pass rate or delivery interval. We must achieve 100% without any minor errors. Even if there is an error of 0.01mm, it will be magnified countless times in aerospace, causing unpredicted damage or difficulty for astronauts. 

The aerospace project has strict limits for weight and volume. The products we deliver, save a little more space, can give astronauts a more comfortable range of activities and reduce a little more weight, and can add more chances to a successful rocket launch.

First of all, after hundreds of adjustments to optimize the design of the structure, while ensuring the function, product strength, user usability, durability, and safety are as high as possible;

Secondly, the product needs to ensure low weight and less space, and it must also be easy to expand and use with other equipment. Each stand-alone product goes through four design and production verification stages: initial prototype, structural thermal control, identification, and prototype for approval to implement;

Then, the finished product will undergo a long-term vibration test on the vibration table that simulates the rocket to ensure that the final product will be designed and manufactured with zero defects.

Finally, the products must be in accordance with the “Space Station Product Design and Construction Specifications” to ensure that each product entering the aviation cabin has a laser engraving number (data package information) to ensure the quality of the whole process can be traced.
