TOM BRIL INDUSTRIAL DESIGN & ENGINEERING
PORTFOLIO 2014
hi My name is Tom BrilI just finished my BSc in Industrial design engineering and I am currently working as Industrial Designer for FEIZ design studio in Amsterdam.
When I’m not working I like to go running, snowboarding, skiing and surf-ing. Besides al the sporty stuff I enjoy to make beautiful pictures and put some lines on paper by sketching.

IMPROVED CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE AT DOMESTIC BOARDING GATES Graduation intership / 5 months / 2014 / Experience & Industrial design
PROJECT BRIEF
The aim of this project was to create a feasible concept vision to adress the current problems at domestic boarding gates. The project was part of my graduation internship for Qantas in collaboration with Bluesky design group Sydney.
RESEARCH
Prevent an industrial product look Service oriented role for airline staff Prevent queues at the gate Minimize environment noiseModular gate systemQantas look & feel
Insights
User, Market, Trend & Technology
research
Research at Sydney Domestic airport
user interviews (staff & passengers), user observations
A New boarding process (personalized boarding) notify passengers when they should be boarding the plane. This is achieved via a new location tracking system.
Location tracking is made possible by using free Wifi services provided on all the airports or using the BLE integrated in most new smartdevices.
AdvantagesPassengers are no longer required to stay in the boarding area but can freely use the airport (taxfree) services outside the boarding area.
FUTURE USER SENARIO

Scan boarding pass (Q-card, smartdevice etc)
Walk on plane, show seat number and sit down at your seat
Passengers arrive perfectly on time at the gate
Additional messages showing updates if required.
In the process of creating different gate concepts a lot of sketches where made.
GATE DESIGN
CONCEPT STAGE
Different concepts for different concept routes.
FINAL CONCEPT
The new concept focusses on improving the user experience for both passengers and airline crew members, this is achieved by changing boarding gates into a self service system. Because of this, the flight attendants role is changed to a service orientated role (instead of working role).By providing passengers only with the information they want to recieve and by using a more visual information system misunderstandings are prevented.
CONCEPT FEATURS
By using LED carpet (from Philips & Desko) signage is intergrated in the gate. This re-sults in a much cleaner environment (less noice).
The LED arrows move along with the pas-senger towards the gates. By using high contrast colours, the arrows are visible for all the passengers.
The gates are making use of state of the art boarding pass scanners that are future proof. This means they can scan traditional and modern media (paper, smart-devices & passports)
To keep track of the passing passengers 6 infra red sensors are placed to detect pas-sengers. When unautohorized passengers pass through a red screen appears, and warning messages are show in the carpet and on the flight attendants smart device.
Special designed software for the flight attendants is used to keep an eye on the boarding progression. With this app the flight attendants get information regarding the following points:
- Passenger information- Boarding gate status.- Plane status
Further more the software/ smart device gives them the opportunity to inform se-curity if necessary and print the final flight documents. The printer is integrated in the gate furniture.
Boarding gates arround Australia vary in size, the amount of gates and setup.Therefore the new boarding gates are made of modulair parts that easily can be changed to customize the gate for the different preferences for boarding gates across Australia.
To test if the product can be used in the real world all the parts are speci-fied and engineerd when needed.
For all the parts that are needed in the gate I’ve looked at different ma-terials/ production methods. The result: a product that can withstand real live problems i.a. - People standing on the gate- People pushing against the gate.
To perform these tests SolidWorks Simulations was used. Some results are shown on the right.
Besides the testing, critical user sce-narios ,exploded views, BOM (bill of materials) and technical drawings where made in this phase

MANTA RAY LIGHT INSPIRED BY NATUREUniversity project / 2 months (part-time) / 2013 / Industrial design
Due the global effect of urbanization, the living space for people in the cites is limited. But less space doesn’t mean that quality of living should be compromised.
This does require a general rethink of our thoughts/views about products and product design that we use in our daily liv-ing conditions. This means maintaining certain important products, but strip prod-ucts down to the bare essence, leading to a focus of quality at minimal material spend, as an alternative for todays focus on quantative aspects of product design.
As a result of multiple researches done in the past it was concluded that light has positive effects on wellbeing of people. With lack of light people are more likely to suffer from depressions, sleeping- and concentration problems. In other words : when people are exposed to iight under optimal conditions it will improve their lives and overall well-being

MODUS CHAIRModus woodworkshop/ Freelance project / 2013 / Industrial design
Modus is a company located in heino (The Neth-erlands) that makes wooden casting moulds for concrete cellars. In 2012 Modus bought a new milling machine that is used to produce parts for the concrete moulds. Because the new ma-chine did offer other production capabilities leading to new technical possibilities ,Modus is also using the machine to enter new markets (furniture & interior design applications ).

LAMINATE CUTTEROrbisWill gmbh & Saxion university / 5 months (part time) / 2013 / Industrial design & Engineering
It’s always difficult when you install laminate flooring and you come across obstacle like heating pipes. You have to cut or saw a small part in the required size. This is time consuming, and the risk of poor quality is increasing. There are some products on the market, suitable to hide the imperfections of the cuts. But this is not a good solution for the problem.
After discussing this problem with professionals i found out that there are a couple of methods to create those holes in de laminate.
Drilling and sawingThe most common way of solving this problem is done with the help of a drill. Take a drillhead with the same dimensions that you need, and drill the holes needed in the laminate. Then cut the plank in two parts so you can install it.
SawingAnother way of doing it is using a small fretsaw. Its time consuming, and there is a risk of loss of quality, when this tool is used. In this case you have to mask the cuts by putting a cover on top of it.
Both methods take a lot of time, and there are powertools involved. I worked on an alternative that did allow to punch a hole with a plier in the laminate in order to create the opening. The risk of safety accidents during the handling of the cutting was limited, using this new technique.

ENGINEERING
For all the parts that are needed in the laminate cutter I’ve looked to different materials/ production methodes. The result: a product that can withstand real live user situations.
To test some of the user situations SolidWorks Simulations & simple hand calculations where made to calculate strenght/ thicknesses of specific parts.
Besides testing critical user sce-narios exploded views, BOM (bill of materials), cost calculations and technical drawings where made in this phase of the project.
