determination to make a truly great product.”
“To be innovative today you don’t just need to be original or inventive”, said Armorgard’s managing director, Terry Mitchell. “You need to see what’s happening in your customer’s work environment and decide to implement and execute the ideas that have already been generated.
“We try to see the world the way it is, not the way we think it is. Why? Because it’s easy to solve a problem that almost everyone sees. But it’s hard to solve a problem that almost no-one sees.”
Another good example of designing outcomes, is the story of the R&D process involved in the design of Armorgard’s new flat-pack tool storage solution: Forma-Stor.
“We wanted to understand the aspirations and motivations of construction professionals to understand how they might consider using such a product.” said Matt Partridge. “Was there a trade-off between peace of mind - to the growing problem of theft of supplies, materials and plant from buildings and construction sites - and unwanted extra work? If the product could not be easily transported,
assembled and deconstructed, would we be wasting our time, and theirs?”
Thanks to an ingenious lightweight modular design - the product comes flat packed, has only a few components and can be assembled on site by two people in less than 10 minutes without the need
for tools – Armorgard’s Forma-Stor is proving a big hit with construction managers.
The product is also making a name for itself in the rail sector where maintenance project managers now have the opportunity to benefit from modular, flat-packed, walk-in, weatherproof on- site secure storage vaults that can be quickly transported and easily be set up anywhere on site. And all this without the inconvenience and high cost of track possessions and overhead power line isolation, as well as stoppages in work, and the use of HIAB crane lifts and Road Rail Vehicles (RRVs).
“Focusing on the needs of people, using prototypes to move ideas along quickly and by getting the active participation of end users makes a crucial difference to the design outcome,” said Terry Mitchell.
“We like to believe that design thinking can make a difference, that it can help create new ideas and innovation, and great products that make life much better for end users.”
