New Motor for Weather Shelter

Abstract (Swedish)
The goal of this thesis has been to develop and evaluate a proposal as how to
integrate a new motor system for the top horizontal roller of an ASSA ABLOY
weather shelter. This required changes to the current system, both in hardware and
software. The main challenge was that the old motor could be back driven by the
system, and the replacement motor could not. Thus, a solution where the new motor
continuously controlled the position of the roller had to be developed.
Throughout this work, the well-known product development methodology defined
by Ulrich and Eppinger has been followed, with adaptations inspired by the Double
Diamond methodology to suit this project. This led to a partly self-documenting
product development... (More)

Throughout this work, the well-known product development methodology defined
by Ulrich and Eppinger has been followed, with adaptations inspired by the Double
Diamond methodology to suit this project. This led to a partly self-documenting
product development process which supported the report writing process in parallel
to the practical work.
Prototypes of the three most promising concepts were constructed and evaluated at
a workshop to select a winner. The winning concept was made in a larger prototype
for further detail design and concept testing. This resulted in a promising proposal
on how to integrate the new motor system with the weather shelter.
The conclusion of this thesis is that, even though additional validation remains, a
promising and worked through solution on how to integrate the new motor package
with the existing weather shelter has been proposed. (Less)
