Project description
Amoeba revolutionizes the workspace post-pandemic by addressing challenges in office relocations, significantly reducing wire waste and rewiring costs while enhancing sustainability. Rewiring costs, typically accounting for 25-40% of the total relocating or renovating budget, have been a significant hurdle.
Even in the post-pandemic era, hybrid office types (Hybrid) are still a trend. It has been recognized that offices will enhance flexibility for better use of space while maintaining office workflow requirements. We noticed that the issues caused by the current electrical system that offices used:
- Lack of Flexibility: The position of outlets is fixed after the installation, limiting staff to use their laptops only in certain locations.
- Sustainability Concern: Traditional renovation processes generate countless waste wires, posing environmental problems.
- Cost: Time & Financial Concern. If staff requires additional or relocated outlets to suit their electronic needs, they may need to go through time-consuming administrative procedures to have workers perform the changes. The company incurs expenses each time workers need to add or move outlets.
Amoeba aims to change the situation. Amoeba is a modular raised floor system that transforms the traditional office into a sustainable workspace. Leveraging seamless app and product design, this eco-friendly working floor system can be assembled and reused. Amoeba decreases the environmental burden generated during office renovation, and creates a flexible workplace; meetings can be held anywhere, and workstations can be placed in various locations, delivering a superior experience for modern society.
Our innovative solution introduces floor units, movable outlets, and an app for efficient workplace adaptability.
- Floor units: Amoeba provides four types of units, each with varying electronic track directions. These units include 1-direction, 2-direction, 4-direction units, and blank units without electronic tracks. With a one-time purchase of these modular units, offices can reuse and assemble them for relocation or buy additional units for larger workspaces.
- Movable outlets: Say goodbye to being confined to fixed sockets. By plugging movable outlets into the electronic track, staff can charge laptops and phones wherever needed.
- App: Amoeba's app displays real-time outlet usage on a map. Staff can easily locate outlet positions and view their real-time usage status within the app.
- AR Simulation: For reduced communication costs we utilize AR to simulate the product's effects to decrease users' apprehension towards the new product. This feature fosters smoother communication between staff and managers, enabling staff to efficiently display the AR simulation,resulting in lower communication costs.
- Tutorials are available to reduce the learning curve for staff.
