Abstract

The work presented is a case study about the application of the methodology named Design For Six Sigma, which involves the concepts of Benchmarking and QFD analysis, applied to different devices/appliances, without having the target of the creation of a specific final product, but trying to outline a prototype of an innovative domotic house, where every device is connected to the main network and can communicate with the others. Four categories of products were analyzed: robot vacuum cleaner, smart refrigerators, domotic ovens and robot lawnmowers. Today these devices are very smart and technologically advanced but cannot co-operate for the realization of a connected system; which could happen thanks to the increasing use of Google Home and Amazon Alexa devices. In the following pages will be illustrated all the process described above comprehensive of the house project realized on SolidEdge and rendered on KeyShot.
