Office equipment is difficult to access for cleaning and maintenance

Maintenance instructions do not clearly correspond to physical locations on the product, leaving users to rely on experience when cleaning.

Research area: Digital office and input devicesProblem identification → Design validation → Implementation

Three-step solution method

  1. Identify frequently touched surfaces, serviceable components and tasks requiring professional maintenance.
  2. Link physical locations to instructions through graphics and numbering.
  3. Invite everyday users to complete relevant maintenance tasks using the documentation.

Key Deliverables

  • Maintenance location map
  • User guide
  • Trial documentation

Verification Approach

Assess documentation lookup, part identification and missed steps.
