Tech-Infused Tissue Dispensers

The Camitool Electric Toilet Paper Dispenser Promotes Cleanliness

— July 24, 2012 — Lifestyle
The future of toiletries salutes the notion of an entirely hands-free experience with the Camitool Electric Toilet Paper Dispenser.

In addition to modern bathrooms featuring automatic soap dispensers, self-flushing toilets and sensory faucets, the toilet paper roll dispenser is the newest item to get an electronic update. Developed by design company Shikoku, this device allows for a potentially germ-free bathroom experience.

The device is activated by detecting hand movement to dispense the tissue. Camitool has even created different settings in which one can adjust the length of the dispensed toilet tissue. It is available in three lengths: 30, 90 and 120 cm. The device has been introduced into a few hospitals where absolute cleanliness is vital to the environment.

The notion of a public bathroom seems a lot less unpleasant when standards of immaculately germ-free environments are being established by automated devices.
Trend Themes
1. Hands-free Technology - Opportunity for developing more hands-free technology in various industries for improved hygiene and convenience.
2. Smart Bathroom Solutions - Potential for creating innovative smart bathroom solutions that enhance cleanliness and user experience.
3. Automation in Hygiene - Disruptive innovation opportunity in automating hygiene processes in different sectors for increased efficiency and reduced germ transmission.
Industry Implications
1. Healthcare - The healthcare industry can adopt tech-infused tissue dispensers to maintain sanitary conditions and minimize contamination risks.
2. Hospitality - Hotels and resorts can benefit from implementing hands-free and smart bathroom solutions to elevate guest experience and prioritize hygiene.
3. Public Facilities - Public facilities such as airports, shopping malls, and restaurants can explore automation in hygiene to create safer and more pleasant environments for visitors.
