Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional display systems for cosmetic products are limited by modular dimensions, failing to fully utilize the depth of display cabinets and restricting the ability to adapt to different product shapes and sizes, making it difficult to create flexible and efficient display solutions.
Innovation Solution
A modular display structure composed of interchangeable guide elements and display plates that can be easily assembled and disassembled, allowing for various configurations and dimensions to accommodate products of different shapes and sizes, enabling full exploitation of cabinet depth and easy maintenance.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If conventional modular trays are used for displaying cosmetic products, then the display structure is simple and easy to manufacture, but the cabinet depth cannot be fully utilized and the display system cannot adapt to different product shapes and sizes
Solution Approach 1:
The display system is divided into modular components: a fixed support structure with guides and interchangeable display plates. Each plate can be independently selected and positioned to match different product dimensions, allowing the system to adapt to various product shapes and sizes without requiring a completely different display structure for each product type.
Solution Approach 2:
The support structure with guides serves multiple functions: it provides structural stability, enables plate interchangeability, and accommodates various plate configurations. This universal base structure can work with different plate types and arrangements, making the overall system versatile while maintaining structural simplicity.
2Volume of stationary object
If conventional modular trays with fixed dimensions are used, then the manufacturing process is simple, but the cabinet space is not fully exploited
Solution Approach 1:
The display system transitions from fixed-dimensional trays to a dynamic configuration where plates can be interchangeably positioned at different heights and locations along the guides. This dynamic arrangement allows the display structure to be customized to fit the available cabinet space, maximizing volume utilization while the modular nature keeps manufacturing relatively simple.
3Adaptability or versatility
If interchangeable display plates are implemented, then the display system becomes highly adaptable, but the assembly and disassembly operations increase
Solution Approach 1:
The guides act as intermediaries between the fixed support structure and the interchangeable display plates. They provide standardized interfaces and alignment mechanisms that simplify the assembly and disassembly process, allowing plates to be quickly exchanged without complex operations while maintaining high adaptability.
4Area of stationary object
If modular display units are positioned side by side, then the display area is created, but the depth of the cabinet cannot be exploited
Solution Approach 1:
The system transitions from utilizing only the horizontal dimension (side-by-side placement) to exploiting the vertical dimension as well. Plates can be positioned at different heights along the guides, and multiple plates can be stacked vertically within the cabinet depth, thereby utilizing both horizontal and vertical spaces to maximize the display area while fully exploiting cabinet depth.
