We began the project by deconstructing one of their current products, the Shark Pro Steam & Spray SK410 Series floor cleaner. With all 300+ components we built an exploded view to better understand the design, which ended up in the Europro European office.
The best case scenario for disrupting floor cleaning is to eliminate it all together. Breeze was our response to this, an integrated in-floor cleaning system utilizing a combined steam and vacuum system to lift, dilute, sanitize, and the remove small particles and spillage.
Guiding this process with infrared imaging makes the process as seamless as possible for the user, and reduces the need for scheduled cleans, saving water and power.
As this was a two week project, to demonstrate the concept we make CAD models & renderings as well as a physical mockup to show how the system might look and function if we took it forward.
