New product development: automatic toilet seat lifting mechanism for hands-free operation  
Customer

The customer is one of world’s leading suppliers for kitchen and bath, furniture and engine generators. The customer’s diversified corporate strategy is aimed at creating high quality and innovative products.

Business Need

Touching a toilet seat is unsanitary under the best conditions, especially in public facilities.Much like the automatic touch-less urinals and sink faucets , the customer wanted to develop an automatic toilet which incorporates an innovative seat cover lifting and lowering system that eliminates the need for the user to touch any area of the toilet with their hands.

How We Helped
ITC Infotech was involved in all stages of the product development:
  • Concept development
  • Prototype development
  • Static and dynamic analysis
  • Testing
  • Validation of product

As a first step, concepts were sketched and finalized. From the brief sketches, Pro/engineer models and manufacturing drawings were created. Prototypes were built and analyzed. To validate the concept, the product was analyzed using Adams software for motion analysis and Analysis software for static analysis.

The final product was then delivered as a package. The customer has been using this product to showcase their new product ranges.

Business Benefits:
  • The development time and costs were reduced by using various modeling and analysis tools.
  • High quality concepts were available at lower costs.
  • Product development time was reduced by leveraging difference in the time zones.
  • ITC Infotech’s technical expertise in product development and validation helped reduce the number of errors
