Nowadays, smart and environmentally friendly products are gaining traction in consumers’ purchase intentions. Not only will it reduce the adverse impact on the environment, but it also provides convenience and efficiency due to the improved functionality. On the other hand, companies need to evaluate how to effectively integrate these features into their design process. Therefore, this research aims to provide a systematic design methodology utilizing an axiomatic design approach that will incorporate the exploration of circular design and smart design aspects. To achieve this, a literature review was conducted to identify the specific circular and smart design aspects that will serve as input for the design process. Then, customer preferences on the existing products were collected and mapped into the design aspects. The output of which will be translated into the product’s functional requirements, and finally, overall design alternatives. To assess the effectiveness of the proposed methodology, a case study for a water dispenser was presented. Results show that developed design was better than the existing models available in the market. With that, the proposed product innovation process can be used in practical application and can be used as a solution to increase customer satisfaction and offer companies a competitive advantage.

Today, a large portion of the human population around the globe has no access to freshwater for drinking, cooking, and other domestic applications. Water resources in numerous countries are becoming scarce due to over urbanization, rapid industrial growth, and current global warming. Water is often stored in the aboveground or underground tanks. In developing countries, these tanks are maintained manually, and in some cases, water is wasted due to human negligence. In addition, water could also leak out from tanks and supply pipes due to the decayed infrastructure. To address these issues, researchers worldwide turned to the Internet-of-Things (IoT) technology to efficiently monitor water levels, detect leakage, and auto refill tanks whenever needed. Notably, this technology can also supply real-time feedback to end-users and other experts through a webpage or a smartphone. Literature reveals a plethora of review articles on smart water monitoring, including water quality, supply pipes leakage, and water waste recycling. However, none of the reviews focus on the IoT-based solution to monitor water level, detect water leakage, and auto control water pumps, especially at the induvial level that form a vast proportion of water consumers worldwide. To fill this gap in the literature, this study presents a review of IoT-controlled water storage tanks (IoT-WST). Some important contributions of our work include surveying contemporary work on IoT-WST, elaborating current techniques and technologies in IoT-WST, targeting proper hardware, and selecting a secure IoT cloud server.

The Technology is transforming human life into a smart world due to its rapid expansion. To make people's lives easier, smart sensors connected to physical items give data. We show a case study of a smart water dispenser that uses weight sensors, temperature sensors, and Arduino to track how much water customers and water bottle suppliers use on a daily basis. When the water in the dispenser is ready to run out, the smart water dispenser weighs the water that is still within and sends out a warning. It takes the temperature and sends the user notifications regarding water use. Here, we propose an Arduino and Relay-based completely automated RFID-based water dispenser system. Using solenoid tap and sensors, the device may fully automate the water distribution process. In order to prevent water deterioration if no glass is placed at the counter panel, the system also detects the presence of glass there. Infrared (IR) sensors are used by the system to identify glass, after which the sensors provide a signal to the microcontroller. Now that the sensors have provided information, the microcontroller is processing it to see if glass is present. The system features an RFID Reader that may be used to read specific tags and provide information about valid tags to the microcontroller. When a valid tag is found, the system now sends a signal to the controller, which then determines whether glass is there before starting the motor to pour water into the glass while the glass is still there. If glass is removed while the process is running, the mechanism shuts off the water flow until glass is found. So, in this article, we propose a smart water dispenser system with a water-saving feature.
