Research Study 173 / 200

Transport cases lack clear handling guidance

The relationship between handles, wheels and opening direction is unclear, leaving on-site staff unsure how to proceed.

Research focus: Packaging, shipping, and unboxing experienceProblem identification → Design validation → Implementation

Three-step solution method

  1. Document how people handle and position items across different transport and lifting tasks.
  2. Coordinate lifting points, orientation cues, and the space needed for unpacking.
  3. Assess lifting, placement, and opening through controlled handling trials.

Key Deliverables

  • Handling Task Map
  • Crate Prototype
  • Orientation Markings

Verification Approach

Observe posture adjustments, obstructions during opening, and coordination between handlers.
