Modeling MEMS sensor device for green house application

Abstract

This paper presents an application of EQUID design approach in developing a MEMS sensor device for green house application. Functional and affective requirements were identified in early design stage utilizing Kawakita Jiro (KJ) method. By using a user centered design approach, the ergonomic quality and the usability of the sensor device were analyzed based on the criteria of the sensor device installation, the serviceable level of the sensor device, the GUI of the system, as well as the robustness of the sensor device in actual application. The usability test was carried out at to evaluate and review the ergonomics quality and the usability of the sensor device.
