Modern Energy

Eneco On-The-Go is a service that helps flexible workers stay connected. The service provides green energy solutions that fit the daily flow of on-the-go people and helps them avoid the hassle of ever finding a socket. As battery anxiety becomes a condition that more and more people are suffering from, individuals are in the constant need to stay connected at any expense. Eneco on-the-go makes staying connected easy by finding a solution for mobile dependent users.

The SCREAM! tool

A problem in the design process of Multidisciplinary Design Teams is the notion of design waste. Design waste happens when parts of the work of the Multidisciplinary Design Team are unavailable for creative reuse. Therefore teams are not able to build upon others work and keep reinventing the wheel. This takes time, creates double work and impedes the creation of better products. We proposed an addition to the SCREAM! approach that will make ‘communicating the process’ with others more effective and subsequently should prevent the waste of design knowledge in the Multidisciplinary Design Teams. 

KLM – Data Lighting

KLM’s Data center is 24 years old. The lighting systems are aged and outdated. Hence, there arises a need to create a smart yet sustainable lighting in accordance to the preference of the end users. Addressing this issue, we created a web application consisting of the Generator and the Circularity Passport. The Generator gives a solution for the suitable lighting system according to the desire of the users whereas the Circularity Passport displays how the produced solution can be reclaimed.

The prototype for the Generator and Circularity Passport can be found here.
