And the common promotion of the major intelligent sanitary ware brands, namely the heat type technology has become the future core production technology of the intelligent toilet industry.
For a long time, because the intelligent toilet has the following problems, such as: storage water temperature is not constant, slow heating, ល។, consumers are not satisfied. And now the use of instantaneous heating technology production of intelligent toilet can effectively solve this problem, thereby enhancing consumer satisfaction and corporate brand image. This is undoubtedly a win-win situation. Intelligent toilet manufacturing enterprises in the future R & D process not only need to consider the consumer experience, but also need to fully combine the market environment trends and government policies to ensure that the intelligent toilet better adapt to the market.
2, the appearance and function of the product
The appearance of consumers is always the key to promote consumption, followed by the performance of the product. While improving the function of the toilet, it is necessary for the intelligent toilet manufacturing enterprises to pay attention to the appearance of the product design, to bring consumers a comfortable and beautiful experience. This can promote consumer consumption and enhance the sales of the product.
Before designing a new product, designers need to fully investigate the consumer experience of the previous product and collect consumers’ opinions on its use. In the next product design, they will improve the shortcomings of the previous product, while incorporating consumer opinions on the smart toilet, and design a product that better meets consumer needs. The future development of intelligent toilets tends to be humanized. They are more based on user experience perception for product design, so that the smart toilet better meet people’s needs.
