IBM lab explores 16 details of New Products (1)

The IBM company, founded in 1911, will soon have its 100 birthday. By then, IBM will become a "century-old store ". How are the servers sold in this century-old store designed?

On March 13, July 26, the reporter was invited to visit the laboratory of IBM in Zhangjiang Hi-Tech, Shanghai. Lei Ming, an engineer at the IBM lab, gave a detailed introduction to the design concept of IBM's latest generation System x server and a series of design methods in terms of technology, management, and energy conservation. The so-called "Details determine success or failure", through these simple, or complex, or let people take it for granted, or unexpected ideas, we will not see the style of IBM seriously doing things, it's hard to understand why one of every three servers sold in China comes from IBM.

Over the past decade, the industrial design and human-machine engineering team has 86 patents over the past three years, and six are IBM's Master Inventor, the "Master Inventor"

Let's take a look:

1) modular part design

Almost all parts are modular, and the machine is rarely connected through cables. This modular design can facilitate assembly and replacement of parts, reducing the time for customers to go online and shut down for maintenance.

Modular Design Makes disassembling servers as simple and fun as building blocks
