Oats Vending Machine
PencilProto collaborated with Godrej Prima division to develop new fascia for the existing oats vending machine. The idea is to bring newness, intuitiveness via simple and safe design. Team was able to identify the pain points of users and made changes in the machine based on insights. Godrej Prima being pioneer in the coffee vending machine segment are looking to expand their business in Oats vending too. The machine was designed for Indian as well as European market.

Research and User Experience Design
Observing the users and their behaviors while using the machine lead to valuable insights as well as various problems a user is facing. Team had analyzed the insights and brainstormed some ideas that could really solve the problem of a user intuitively. One of major challenge is to dispense the oats with least spillage thus maintaining the better hygiene.
Product Study
PencilProto team studied the existing oats vending machine and its various components at detailed level. Various parts inside fascia were examined and recorded. This activity helps to understand the various components that need to be take care of while redesigning the fascia thus making a quality product.
Brainstorming Structure / Architecture
Inspiration
Experiments / Testing
Number of experiments were done on the machine to eliminate the major problem of spillage. The spillage was caused mainly because of the placement of cup or position of cup with respect to the funnel. At the end, the experiments lead to the new design of funnel. Followed by the testing, the design of cup tray was finalised too.
Prototypes and 3D models were made to evaluate the full interaction and looks.
Product visualization / CMF
Product renders were made to get better understanding of the product while demonstrating the design to top management. CMF ranges is also visualized under different kind of environment. Also various other aspects like cleaning, door opening, front lid opening were too demonstrated through product renders. Complete body was kept in off white color to decrease/subtle out the noise in an environment because of the size of the body. Main lid was kept in frosted material to give user a visual cue that the machine is doing some processing. Orange, black and grey color were given to internal cavity to fit in different kitchen/pantry style. Other parts were given grey so to add no visual hindrance to over all form. Godrej logo cutout was pasted in rough aluminium finish to add premium to the overall design and Godrej as a brand.
Wire Grill is designed with intuitive platform to keep the cup and enhance easy cleaning.
