Resumen

In an increasingly digitized environment, the deterioration of cell phone cables has led to a significant environmental impact due to the lack of adequate protection and care. This often results in cell phone charging cables being in poor condition. Cable damage can include situations such as dirt accumulation or incorrect bending, leading to breakage. As a result, the objective was determined to design a prototype of a cell phone holder with internal biodegradable cable winding. Ulrich and Eppinger served as the methodological basis for the design, following phases including customer needs identification, setting objective values, product concept generation, concept selection, concept testing, and final specification filtering. A survey of 100 individuals provided valuable data for validating certain metrics. Additionally, two focus groups with 15 users were conducted, two experts were interviewed, and a 72 h usage test was carried out, all supported by the agile Scrum methodology and the Scamper technique, allowing for feedback and validation of the initial concept. The final prototype was modeled in 3D using the Lumion 11 program and physically constructed, ensuring functionality and adaptability of the cell phone and charger. In conclusion, a cell phone holder with a cable winder was designed, facilitating easy transport and prolonging the lifespan of any charger cable.
