Concept UV-C Light Sanitizer
Creation of an innovative Narvalo sanitizer that combines LED UVC technology and ozonation for effective sterilization of masks and personal items, reducing the risk of infection and maintaining a safe home environment.
1. PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT BRIEF
The project stems from the need to maintain a safe home environment from virus and bacteria contamination, focusing on the cleaning of everyday objects and Narvalo masks.
2. DESIGN CHALLENGES
As already highlighted in the brief, the project challenges are located on various levels of the design.
Technology optimization
Effectively integrate LED UVC and ozonation into one compact device.
Design and functionality
Create a UV-C Light Sanitizer that is both aesthetically pleasing and functional for the end user
Safety
Ensure that the use of the device does not pose health risks, especially for ozone management
3. DESIGN PROCESS
Scanning the project into its most relevant design phases.
User Needs Analysis
Study of users’ habits and concerns regarding sanitation of personal items and masks.
This led to the identification of two main user profiles, “the Technologist” and “the Sick of Clean,” which helped to better understand the different expectations and needs in terms of sanitizer functionality and mode of use.
Evaluation of Sanitization Technologies
Comparative analysis between ozone production technologies and the use of UVC LEDs to determine the most effective and efficient method for sanitization.
Establishment of Technical Specifications
Establish optimal sanitizer dimensions, component specifications (such as UVC LEDs, ozone plates, wireless charging system), and additional features based on user preferences.
Concept generation
Brainstorming and generating initial concepts based on the results of the research phase, exploring different shapes, opening mechanisms, and internal component arrangements. Creation of various concepts that integrate aesthetics and functionality, such as innovative opening mechanism and design that facilitates daily use.
Opening mechanisms
The “spring” mechanism prevents the user, through a mechanical lock, from opening the compartment during operation.
Defining the Final Design
Selection of the final concept that best meets users’ criteria of effectiveness, design, and desirability.
Conclusion of the design process with the definition of a sanitizer that meets users’ expectations by combining advanced technology, attractive design, and practicality of use.
4. PROJECT OUTPUTS
From the decomposition of the initial problems, some design solutions were proposed that were able to convert technical limitations into a structural renewal of the starting product
Complete sterilization
The combination of LED UVC and ozone enables effective sterilization against viruses and bacteria.
Integrated wireless charging
The sanitizer also offers a wireless charging function for mobile devices, increasing its daily utility.
