User Needs Analysis for Industrial Design of Kansei Engineering-Based Sensor for Agroindustry (KESAN)

This paper analysed user needs for the purpose of an industrial design of KESAN (Kansei Engineering-based sensor for Agroindustry). Up to date, KESAN has been developed to serial Mir-1, Mir-2, Mir-3 and Mir-4. At the final stage, industrial design was required for the purposes of mass production. The research objectives were: 1) To identify the attributes of user need for industrial design of KESAN. 2) To analyse the user needs using kano model. The respondent were the members of Sleman Regional Businessman Association for Food and Beverages. The 13 user needs were identified and selected. Subsequently, the attribute were mapped using Kano model. The research results mapped 7 attributes for category of one dimensional, 4 attributes for must be and 2 attributes for attractive. The research results indicated most important attribute is desktop application as a complementary to KESAN in displaying information and documentation.
