Refrigeration Display
Product
This user interface is for higher-end refrigerators to dispense water and ice. The product is backlit.
This user interface allows the end user to automate or lock the panel in its entirety.
TG3 Design
The refrigerators themselves have a 20 year life warranty. Knowing this information, TG3 needed to develop a product that can last for 20 years. The design itself has no moving parts.
The most important part of this product is that the user interface needed to look and feel like stainless steel while still having the option to have backlighting abilities and chemical resistance.
Problem

- Unique use case, problematic for cap-sense
Solution
