1.6 Limitation of current design Currently, most floating pump devices still practice the traditional old technology of
fire fighting method. This method is not as effective like it used to be those days. First, it consumes a lot of energy, wasting time, and poor chances of getting the fire
from destroying. These devices mostly still do not take the opportunity that exists in this high technology market to expand the device into better performance.
Apart from that, when it comes to time factor and availability, not all devices will be able to perform at the required level of portability. This is because most of the
devices does not come with the features of ease of use and has the mobility needs.
The Author did some observation by going to existing suppliers and encountered that there are many rooms for improvements. It the site itself, after went through to some
of the suppliers, the Author found out that there are a lot of weaknesses that will makes the floating pump devices not up to the current technology and standards.
1.7 New Ideas More with less seems to be the mission impossible for a student to design preferable
solutions for the customers. Addressing more flexibility in the concepts, portability, increase efficiency and effective solution to handling fire is something which proper
plans and high skills are needed. Caught between a rock and a hard place, the Author face a greater challenge. Yet they are finding way to produce Floating Pump
platform device that adequate the features like portability, ease of use, improve technology that will increase the performance during fire fighting.
A solid foundation and sharp handling are needed when planning, designing and implementing, so that useful improvements can be obtained. These will go through to
a lot of upgrading process. The solutions proposed will be focusing most on the customers’ needs to produce and provide them a better service with simplest, easiest
and trusted solution. This can be done by improving critical area that has been discussed earlier. The simple and effective system is very much preferable to the
5 available of the technology. The design of this solution will be based on the
limitations and some problems that the Author have encountered when the Author personally tried to use some of the current devices and came out with some new
ideas that the Author believe will benefits for all. The Author has the confident all the new ideas will at least bring some improvements and satisfaction for those going
to use the solution in the future.
The proposed ideas are: a.
To expand the current technology used to latest technologies available in the market.
b. To increase the efficiency of the current devices that offers customers with
more effective solution. c.
To design and develop a solution that deploys the features like portability and ease of use.
d. To reduce the cost of labors, where not much manpower needed to handle the
device. e.
To make customers feel convenience, where the availability of latest technology is an alternative attraction for firefighting devices.
