ABSTRACT
The present study
addresses a challenge common to many homes: the difficulty of moving heavy
household appliances, such as refrigerators and washing machines. A product was
developed in the form of incremental innovation that incorporates an
intelligent lever and a locking system at the base of these appliances,
facilitating transport and reducing physical effort for users. The main
objective was to improve the user experience, promoting their physical
integrity and preserving the devices. The method involved the creation of a
customizable product, adaptable to various equipment dimensions. The expected
results include a notable reduction in the physical effort required for
transportation, preventing potential injuries related to the movement of
household appliances. In conclusion, investing in innovative solutions to
facilitate the transportation of extremely heavy household appliances not only
improves user convenience, but also promotes the long-term health and
well-being of consumers, emphasizing the importance of continued technological
development in this sector. This innovation represents a significant step
towards making domestic activities more efficient, safe and inclusive, thus
improving consumers' quality of life.
