About Smart Hydro Кулланмыйча Су Бирү Җайланмасы
Smart Hydro — офислар һәм спорт заллары кебек уртак мәйданнар өчен эшләнгән, кулланмыйча эшли торган су бирү җайланмасы. Ян панельләрдәге инфракызыл сенсорлар кулланучының кулын һәм тартмага куелган савытны таный. Шуннан соң су автоматик рәвештә ага башлый һәм савыт алып китерелгәндә туктала, шулай итеп физик контакт кимергә мөмкин. Төп корпус һәм дугасы пластик инъекция ысулы белән җитештерелә, эчке таяныч өлешләренең күпчелеге исә алюминий листыннан бөгелеп ясала. Җайланманың биеклеге — 140 см, киңлеге — 36 см, тирәнлеге — 40 см. Форманы берничә почмактан карап бәяләргә мөмкин.

- Production Technology
- The primary production technique for Smart Hydro is plastic injection due to its benefits in complex design allowances, reduced weight, and enhanced material strength. So the manufacturing technique for shell parts, including the main body and arc, is chosen as plastic injection. Within the plastic casing, most support parts are bent out of an aluminum sheet.
- Design Challenge
- Water dispensers are very conventional in terms of production technologies. The main creative challenge was to offer a new form-factor to a widely adopted component layout. However, the restrictions of internal components were influential in shaping the form. Another challenge was regarding user behavior. Smart Hydro offers a new interaction pattern, so users need to learn and get accustomed to the new practice. To overcome this problem, tests were carried out using paper prototypes.
- Research
- The research started with shadowing and observing user scenarios to understand the products social context. Water dispensers acted as spots for socializing and cooling off. Due to this, Hydro Smart is approachable from several angles and is a conversation starter. Literature research on interaction design helped with gestural design. Several examples and guidelines were investigated. Finally, photo collages were prepared in terms of space layout and interior design to position Hydro Smart.
- Inspiration
- Covid-19 demands us to make changes in our daily lives, along with the products we use. In common areas, water dispensers are contacted by numerous people throughout the day, posing a threat to public health. By benefiting technological innovations, it is possible to bring people together without risking their health. Smart Hydro is a step forward to designing products for public health. Smart Hydro offers a unique design emphasizing ergonomics and hygiene, highlighting itself among the many other conventional water dispensers we encounter.
- Project Duration
- The project started in May 2020 in Ankara and finished in January 2021 in Ankara.
- Operation Flow
- The product interaction starts when the user places a container on a predetermined area on Smart Hydro's counter. Sensors on the side panels perceive the hand's motion and the container's presence on the counter. Once these two variables are confirmed, water starts to flow. The dispensation resumes until the user leans to pick up the container. Once the sensors perceive a motion, water flow is interrupted. This interaction aims to minimize physical contact and thus increase hygiene level.
