Design Details
- Unique Properties
- There are currently no public dispensers dedicated to the public space on the market. All available solutions for internal dispensers powered by batteries or from a socket. The solution proposed by Enovio is an autonomous solar powered dispenser. Its casing is durable and adapted to external conditions and anchoring in the ground.
- Inspiration
- The main inspiration was the problem of hygiene in public space. Spending time away from home often we do not have the option of disinfecting hands properly. Caring for hygiene involves carrying your own disinfectants or using public toilets, which may be unsanitary. The design of the device should be simple, durable and at the same time noting that it is a new device that has not been previously identified. We decided to get inspired by tesla cybertruck, which responds to similar assumptions.
- Research
- The most important thing during product development was creating an intelligent energy management system. We wanted a relatively small solar panel to be able to power several functions at the same time, so we had to develop a system that would be responsible for turning them on only when needed.
- Challenge
- The design task was to create a simple product that will not dominate in its surroundings and at the same time have a high aesthetic value.
- Realization and Technology
- The product is made entirely of stainless steel, which makes it durable and easy to clean. The PV panel supplies all dispenser functions. The dispenser can operate using only solar energy, which makes it an autonomous and ecological product.
- Operation and Interaction
- The Radial bin is fully autonomous. The functions do not require additional power supply because they are powered by a photovoltaic panel. The energy produced is stored in an internal battery. Product management is done from the level of the mobile application. Municipal services can check the current state of the fluid or the filling of the basket. The method of refilling is very simple. The liquid is dispensed by squeezing once the sensor detects a hand.
- Project Duration and Location
- the project was developed in Warsaw. Intensive work on the product began at the end of February. After several prototypes, after less than a month of work, we managed to develop the final product ready for sale.
