Hardware Design Opportunity
I was looking for something that deserve a hardware innovation. Based on the research, the production cart, also can be considered as their workstation, seems like something from the 70s, sophisticated, heavy, unsecured and expensive.
Solution
The result is a mobile workstation, an autonomous production cart integrated with high performance features for more organized and effortless workflow.
Features
I paid lots of attention to details that help to deliver the satisfying experience with a sense of human touch.
Process
I collaborated with an interaction designer, Gabriella Chen, in this project. Big portion of the collaboration are done via miro, we discussed a lot to make sure the hardware and software design are supportive of each other.
