Simart Katya: The Future of Home Cleaning

Revolutionizing Home Cleaning with Smart Technology

Designed by Ahmet Burak Veyisoglu, Simart Katya is a robot vacuum cleaner that combines smart technology with sleek design to redefine home cleaning. This award-winning design is a testament to the power of innovation in transforming everyday tasks.

Simart Katya was inspired by the modern-day need for time-saving solutions. With people's lives becoming increasingly busy, the need for efficient and effortless home cleaning has never been more apparent. This robot vacuum cleaner, easily operated by a smartphone app, offers a solution that not only cleans homes but also provides users with more time to enjoy their lives.

What sets Simart Katya apart from other robot vacuum cleaners is its unique features and strengths. Equipped with an intelligent route planning system and a Laser Distribution Sensor, it scans room perimeters and maps the most efficient cleaning path. Its powerful suction rating of 3000 Pa and two sweeping brushes ensure a thorough clean, while the 6000 mAh battery supports up to 3 hours of work, enough to clean a 300 sqm housing area. Moreover, its slim water tank design allows it to vacuum and mop simultaneously, saving time and energy.

The realization of this design is a testament to the power of technology. The lightweight plastic enclosure on the top and bottom body parts makes Simart Katya mobile and energy-efficient. The top panel, made through an In-mold lamination process, gives it a clean and attractive look. The Laser Distribution Sensor, protected by a plastic cover, can rotate 360 degrees to scan the perimeter, making this robot vacuum cleaner a marvel of modern design and technology.

Simart Katya's design process was a rigorous one. It began with a survey among existing robot vacuum cleaner users to understand their expectations and needs. This was followed by an analysis of home living trends and market competitors. The insights gained from these researches were used to create personas and design directions. Prototypes were then tested and verified with real users, and their feedback was used to finalize the design before mass production.

Despite the challenges faced, such as differentiating from similar products in the market, Simart Katya emerged as a unique and innovative product. The design approach focused on showcasing the Laser Distribution Sensor, the most advanced and intelligent part of the device. A chrome ring was added to the LDS cover to emphasize its power, efficiency, and intelligence. The top panel was designed with a distinctive pattern to provide a more technology-driven design style.

Simart Katya's innovative design and functionality have not gone unnoticed. It was awarded Silver in the A' Home Appliances Design Award in 2022, a prestigious recognition given to designs that demonstrate outstanding expertise and innovation. This award is a testament to the remarkable level of excellence that Simart Katya represents, and it is sure to inspire wonder and admiration among users and design enthusiasts alike.
