In Touch Survey System Kiosk

The Challenge:
To develop an appealing, robust and easy to ship kiosk which allows the client to collect survey data at customer locations. The unit needed to be easy to set up and knock down by untrained persons – with no fasteners or tools. This kiosk, designed in 1995, is still being used today, exceeding the clients expectations for its lifespan.

Accomplishments:
• materials and processes selected for suitability to low volume manufacturing and servicing including custom aluminum extrusions, laser cut sheet metal and MDF top
• efficient use of structural components to reduce weight
• a quick and evident setup/takedown procedure was designed
• an approachable aesthetic was developed to attract more subjects
• a simple and cost effective graphic panel adds significant visual impact to the unit and is easily updated by the client
• received an Appliance Manufacturer Excellence in Design Award

Responsibilities: Industrial design, functional and visual prototypes, mechanical design, final drawings, supplier liaison, and in-house assembly.
