Grégoire Piroux
Master Thesis, ABB
Since august 2010, I have been a master student in the product devleopment master in Chalmers University of Technology (Göteborg, Sverige) in order to give me insights in inovative product developments.
I am currently writing my Master’s thesis in Göteborg and I am looking for my first position as a product development engineer in mechatronics with HMI aspects in the Automation, Automotive, Railways or Aerospace industry.

48 contactsMy Master’s thesis for ABB is about the process control system in Control Rooms based on cognitive ergonomics theory and multiple study trips in two countries. The main goal is to develop concepts and test them with operators to enhance their efficiency and to improve the workflow visualization in the process industry (Oil & Gas, Power Plant).
Product Development Plan:
- Literature Study about Cognitive Ergonomics, Control Room and information design
- Study Visits: Data gathering with operators from 2 different countries
- Requirements Definition
- User Scenario Definition
- Idea Generation: Brainstorming for designing concepts
- Idea Elimination
- Concept Development and Implementation: Visual Design with Adobe Illustrator CS5 and Interactive Design with Microsoft Expression Blend 4 (self-learning for the softwares)
- Test & Evaluation
Keywords: Ergonomics, Human Factors, Human Machine Interaction (HMI), Interaction Design, Visualization
