KAC (Honeywell) is the market leader for break glass call-points within the fire industry. KAC is wholly owned by Honeywell and sits within their Automation Controls and Sensors strategic business group as a multi-million dollar Life Safety company. I joined the engineering department in the middle of the development of a new conventional audible visual fire alarm program that was running over time and budget. Through calculated analytical input I returned the project close to the critical path, and subsequently I became a project manager, the mechanical lead on upcoming NPI developments, and cover to the Engineering Manager. The delivery of the VAD program consolidated and protected $1M US market share and attained an additional $0.5M US incremental revenue in the first 18 months of release to market.

Project Management

April 2007 to July 2010Indigo Blue Design Limited – Proprietor

Product design consultancy to a diverse array of clients. Total closed loop product design methodology encompassing feasibility studies, market placement and lifecycle analysis through to concept designs, materials, DFM, prototyping, tool drawings and manufacture liaison.

Projects include;

> Design and engineering consultancy for Thermo Fisher Scientific developing a biopsy embedding instrument as part of their tissue processing portfolio. - www.thermofisher.com

As part of the clinical diagnostics sphere of the anatomical pathology business unit, I delivered a varied selection of services for Thermo Fisher Scientific. I consulted on the ergonomics and product architecture of the instrument in the industrial design phase, before moving the instrument through the entire product engineering element into production. I instigated several key product features that resulted in unique selling points and consequentially strengthened Thermo Fishers intellectual property in the sector.

My initial task was to develop a suite of 21 injection moulding tools where previously RIM processes had been relied upon. The mechanical form, fit and function were of primary importance as was the necessity of the interaction between electro-mechanical interfaces and semi-automated mechanisms. The resulting quality of my output led to a complete project engineer and management contract.Key functions undertaken;

Industrial design. Polymer part design – including mold-flow analysis interpretation and tooling liaison. Sheet metal fabrications – enclosures. Investment and sand casting parts. Refrigeration system design including condenser and evaporator coils, enthalpy and entropy calculations, charge weight

calculations and thermal transfer mechanics. Heater mat plotting and technical calculations. Complex mechanical mechanisms. Sealing and IP rating enclosures. Materials science and selection – ensuring chemical resistance capability. Verification testing and technical report writing. Extensive presentations and technical design authority representation. Prototyping and manufacturing outsourcing. Product supply road-map structuring – including cost models and budgeting. ISO/BS/FDA Approvals documentation. Design for assembly and manufacture processes including production cell layout and LEAN frameworks.
