Electronic kitchen paper dispenser: prototype

Prototype of a kitchen paper dispenser with an open structure, a side sensor and four illuminated front controls to handle the roll.

Home and furniture Startup $10,000 – $25,000 3 – 4 months

The price includes design, functional prototyping, product testing and optimization.

Why design an electronic kitchen paper dispenser?

1

Handling without mess

A side sensor and dedicated controls avoid touching the roll with dirty hands.

2

Portion control

The front controls let users choose how and when paper is delivered.

3

Visible status

Lighting over the roll shows at a glance that the unit is active.

4

Electronics built into the product

Mechanism, electronics and housing are designed as a single product.

Mechanical design

Support and mechanism to hold the paper roll.

Electronics

Side sensor and control of the four front buttons.

Lighting

Green lighting over the roll to indicate status.

Industrial Design

Open black structure with the roll visible.

Product integration

Mechanics, electronics and design developed as one assembly.

Prototyping

Functional prototype to validate handling in the kitchen.

“A kitchen dispenser is used with dirty hands and in a hurry, so sensor, controls and mechanics have to work without thinking. Integrating everything into a single product was the challenge. If we could do this, we can surely do your idea.”
