Workplane Design and HP
The North American multinational HP established itself in Catalonia in 1985 in a workshop in Terrassa where it manufactured graphic plotters. When the space became too small, in 1990 the directors chose the current location in Sant Cugat (Barcelona), where some 2,300 workers (on staff and external with the Outsourcing system), work with the bases of innovation, ambition and talent.
This HP headquarters in Sant Cugat. It was our main client since 2005 and with whom we grew by expanding services as they were requested from the Customer Experience, Engineering and Marketing departments.
Our staff there has been very diverse, the most outstanding:
- Project Managers
- Industrial designers
- Mechanical Engineer
- Visual Designers (Visual Communication)
- Interaction Designers
- UX Designers
- User Experience Testing Experts
- Expert in Ethnological Research
- Production supervision in China
We can be proud that many of the people currently on HP’s payroll started out as Workplaners!
Inspection and control: Have an area to inspect the work.
- Area where to inspect B2 sheet documents
- Press MMI screen
- DFE MMI display
- Bar code scanner
Color management: Ergonomic area for color measurements
- Flat space for measuring impressions
- Lamp (Standard D50 )
- Rulers for manual measurement and related devices.
Storage: Space for storing samples/tools/work clothes
- Drawers or cabinet
Comply with the characteristics set forth in the briefing. Maintain HP styling to match the printer. Consider ergonomics for the operator and reserve spaces for electrical connections.
Despite the fact that the proposals were not carried out. It did help us to strengthen HP’s contacts, as this project was for the Israel headquarters, who were pleasantly surprised by the speed with which we presented the proposals and the team involved in them.
