7200 series half-mask is a cost-effective professional respiratory protection equipment, including a special filter particles filter and filter oil mist pollution cans, which can effectively protect the health of workers. Based on Honeywell's industrial protection expertise, the 7200 Series is designed specifically for Asians, with a more comfortable face fixation and a smaller field of view. At the same time, excellent product design, not only brings professional performance improvement, but also greatly simplifies the assembly of accessories and supplies replacement costs. The 7200 Series is designed to provide a cost-effective respiratory protection product for more special industries and low-income people.

Through a large number of man-machine data analysis and simulation, specifically designed for East Asian professional half-mask. The ergonomic design of the fit part of the Chinese face more fit, better cover the user’s nose and mouth part. In the speech or other facial activities can also keep the mask and face the perfect fit. Efficient duct design, both in the sultry mine or high temperature workshop, continue to provide users with a smooth breathing experience, while effectively improving the filter efficiency. Compared to similar products better field of view, under the dark environment and high-altitude welding operations in the mine, it can ensure that users have the best wearing field of vision. Systematic design can be compatible with helmets and safety glasses at the same time wearing, which can effectively solve the wearing comfort, smooth breathing and work activities, interference and other issues.

7200 half mask is a brand new product line. Innovative filter and filer holder with bayonet design, can share the mask part. For the company to save the cost, to enhance the production efficiency, but also for users to save the procurement costs. As a new product, only in the industrial field, is expected within 5 years’ sales of 5 million sales of over 40 million US dollars. Market share is up to 10%. At the same time, through the design of strict control costs, the original intention is that 7200 series can become a large number of low-income workers who can afford the professional dust mask. Price advantage will promote the popularity of the product.

Honeywell has always been an important social responsibility in environmental protection。Honeywell has been an important social responsibility in environmental protection. Coal, shipbuilding, metallurgy, machining and other industries of dust is very serious, poor operating environment, and high incidence of pneumoconiosis. Of the pneumoconiosis patients in our country, 80% were coal workers pneumoconiosis. 7200 series of half-mask, professional for dust and oil mist environment, to provide efficient particle filtration system, can significantly reduce the amount of inhalation of dust, thereby reducing the incidence of pneumoconiosis. 1. The ease of use of the product design allows coal miners and other educational level is not high, poor working environment workers can quickly and correctly use the product. 2. In China, the city blue collar reached 260 million as much. Low-cost high value design allows Chinese blue-collar workers, such as decoration workers, cleaners are also possible at their own expense or public use of higher filtration performance half-mask. Thus protecting them from the work environment pollution damage. 3. Honeywell industrial safety protection products are being developed from industrial equipment, to the safe and humane care of the blue-collar class. From product design to marketing they are trying to promote more people to use products safe and easy.

The project team consists of full-featured CROSS FUNCTION, including product management, marketing product manager, certification engineer, laboratory product test engineer, user experience director of HUE (Honeywell User Experience) team, industrial designer and ergonomic designer, R & D team of structural engineers and product designers, mold engineers, procurement and other 23 full-time employees.

We took Honeywell User Experience (HUE) and New Product Development (NPI) Process, and follow Honeywell BCC (become Chinese competitor) principle, smartly customize and lean development process, to achieve rapid development of products for Chinese workers in local. Honeywell user experience is one of our key process initiatives that help us best understand the needs of our customers and design intuitive, desirable, differentiated and value-add products and services that meet those needs. In this project, we specially did well and creatively in ease of use evaluation, rapid prototyping and touch point design. 1. Marketing research and user research: On the one hand, by interviewing iron and steel plant, coal mine, carmakers and other different industries, understand china market demand for industrial half-face mask, using scenario, daily usage habits and pain points. On the other hand, competitive analysis current products in market. 2. Ergonomic design: The design is based on a large number of measurements data and facial features analysis of Chinese workers, combine daily usage habits and using scenario. For example, use different colors to distinguish two sides, the intuitive bright red color bayonet on holder, foldable head harness. 3. Rapid prototyping: In the process of product development, we acquired the mockup through 3D printing, silicone mockup, small-batch production of soft tooling. Then repeated evaluation and verification. In this way, we greatly reduced the time of developing and saving the cost of mold modification at the same time. 4. Touch Point design: by analyzing the customer journey and touch points of the journey. We tried our my best to design the touch points to maximize the usability as well. For example, the intuitive and graphical user guide. In this project, we strive to maximize cost reduction, the ease of use through good design. Hope to provide low-income and low education workers with health insurance.

The project started at 2016 and completed the design delivery in April 2017. Project investment funds more than 350w, including the human resources, ergonomic measurement, field study, mold and so on.

7200 series are the first reusable half face respirators against airborne contaminants, which fill the product portfolio gap, making the company's offering of industrial safety products more complete.
