Popis: This paper outlines a number of facts on how the merging of Human Factor Ergonomics (HFE) methodologies and Ergonomics Quality in Design (EQUID) systematic approach contributed to the Precision Agriculture (PA) sensor device design improvement process. As per EQUID, product usability issues were identified by conducting ethnography study and persona methodology at the beginning stage of the product design improvement process. The product usability design improvement focused on user experience of the sensor device, the maintenance of the product and the environmental friendly aspect. The usability test and the survey on the new Industrial Design (ID) were carried out at the end of this paper to evaluate and review the ergonomics quality and usability of the sensor device.
