CLIENT'S REQUESTS FOR THE APP
The mobile app must help the user to recognize 4 different types of relay
electromechanical (made between 1900 - 1963)
static (made between 1963 - 1972)
digital (made between 1972 - 1980)
numeric (made between 1980 -present)
static (made between 1963 - 1972)
digital (made between 1972 - 1980)
numeric (made between 1980 -present)
The app needs 3 necessary data to make RETROFIT
The date of construction of the electrical panel
The date of construction of the relay
Critical environment temperature, humidity, pollution, salt / chemical environment)

STAKEHOLDERS INFORMATION & NEEDS
The app's stakeholders are all ABB technicians who deal directly with the relay rating.
When they are on the site of the evaluation they faced the following situation:
need to open the electrical panel, where the relay is inserted
looking for useful data for retrofit
looking for useful data for retrofit
So after being asked and showed the first draft of the app they tell these needs:
need to create an app that can detect itself the necessary data
need to have simple app, with few data to insert manually, since the technicians to do this must remove the protective gloves
