Final year live project - ONEPAN

Final year live project - ONEPAN

Onepan was a response to a live brief set by Panasonic. We had one week to research, develop and visualise a device that “reduces waste”. Onepan reduces waste in the kitchen by tackling the challenge of portion control.

Onepan - the user interface

Onepan - the user interface

Onepan uses a heat resistant HT201 force sensitive resistor to measure the mass of food within the pan. This reading is then relayed to users via the intuitive LED/LCD interface. This allows users to quickly gauge how much food is in the pan, relative to their desired portion size.

In addition to reducing food waste, the removable handle allows users to save space in the dishwasher. To remove the handle, the user simply pinches the buttons on either side and twists. In turn, this releases the pan. The thermally conductive non-stick container can also be replaced if damaged.
