The team studied the marketplace and design space around location-based services for mobile devices, and found that the increasing fidelity and decreasing cost of location-sensing technology provides an opportunity. To take advantage of this opportunity, the team developed a prototype location platform that collects data about the movements of users. They tested this prototype through field trials and user interviews, and further developed applications that leverage the capabilities offered by the platform. To be of value to the sponsor, the team also developed commercialization plans for the designed platform and applications.
The Rockwell Automation SCOPE team worked to provide an out-of-box quality control sensor for automation applications. Quality control sensors need to provide fast inspection capabilities for factories to ensure continuous quality of products. The team also looked into business opportunities for the sensor in line with Rockwell Automation’s industrial customer base. The team optimized the current sensor and made improvements. They also explored market segments where the sensor could make a significant impact on a factory’s quality control and automation processes.
