Gusto came to Boost Design wanting to design and develop a product for cleaning the feet of people entering vehicles, such as caravans and RVs. They had identified a gap in the market and concluded there is a need for a device that can conveniently and easily clean the feet of most debris.

Boost Design conducted the following activities:

• Review of product design options and development of a preferred design and system architecture for the product, based on use of the product in a Caravan
• Proof of concept of electronics hardware design and development, including identification, selection and testing of an appropriate fan or blower and proximity sensor for contactless operation
• Research and development of suitable mounting and electrical connection options
• Development of designs suitable for rugged environments; e.g. shock, vibration, water ingress etc
• Development of concept images and product renderings, suitable for marketing purposes
• Prototype development and refinement
• Performance and user experience testing
• Sourcing suitable manufacturing partners and working on cost reduction opportunities
• Finalising designs for production tooling and mass manufacture

The device is now available for pre-order: https://gustoglobalindustries.com/
