The customer’s objective was to
retain their position as the
innovators in the industry by
introducing a more aesthetically
pleasing bread slicer with
improved functionality, safety, and
ergonomic features.
We held an innovation workshop with
Subject Matter Experts, Creative
Leads, and Facilitators gathered
with the customer for a day-long
ideation session to define specific
design challenges and
requirements to best meet user
needs. Ideas were discussed,
ranked, and prioritized.
The Engineering Team developed
alterations and mock-ups to
transform user-centered designs
into realities quickly and
affordably. The process focused
on improved angles and height
for better ergonomics.
During the final design phase, the
Industrial Design and Engineering
Teams integrated the innovative
concepts and developed various
designs for the front cover,
in-feed cover, out-feed, and
shape. After final customer
approvals, product renderings
were translated into CAD.
The customer took DISHER’s CAD
drawings to their manufacturing
resources and successfully built
and launched the new bread
slicer into their product offering.
