Background

This start-up company have an ambition to develop intelligent applience. I was in a team which full of experienced colleagues. These greatest person guide me to do the research and provided their perspectives for me.

N8 air purifier

Research

Health effect of air pollution

In 2016, Taiwan's air pollution index seriously exceeded the WHO standard. Factory and automobile exhaust accounted for the majority of pollution sources. Studies have shown that more than 70% of people have allergies, and over 50% of them have respiratory allergies.

People are eager for fully functional and more effective devices to clean the air. Futurelab Company developed the N8 purifier robot that can eliminate odor and remove harmful gases such like PM2.5 or PM1.0. Then, it have mobile function as a special feature.

Indoor pollution

Movement require

In 2020, Taiwan's small and medium-sized enterprises account for 98.93% of all enterprises, which are an important foundation of Taiwan's industrial development. Open space office is a very common workplace for small and medium-sized enterprises. Due to the impact of the pandemic, people have been forced to distance. Even if the distance is maintained, they may be worried about germs brought from outside that spread indoors.

General household air purifiers can clean about 52 square meters. The open space office including the public space is about 66-82 square meters, and the business center’s office is more than 165 square meters. If the air purifier can move point-to-point and clean air in a large area, it will have benefits for the indoor office of many people.

Integrate exsisting product

In addition, in terms of the function of the Internet, we suggest that the existing N7 purifier can be used as a linkage to monitor the air condition of each location, and you can call N8 to perform the corresponding air purification mode according to the air condition. While the N7 can only perform a single air test, it allows consumers who own the N7 to gain additional value and can once again increase the N7's exposure in the market.

Define

How it works?

The air purifier can move, as if a butler decides which solution would be taken according to different situations. During the implementation, N8 will arrange the best patrol cleaning plan for customers' space based on the current air quality by itself. How to judge the situation? It is based on the data before and after at the same area to determine the cleaning strength of the machine. And receiving the fixed-area data of the N7 (the small air purifier) is to determine whether to perform an emergency cleaning.
