Title: Adaptive Seating with Digital Innovation

Research Area: Reality Capture, 3D Modelling and Virtual Simulation

Partner: Recliners Ltd

Project outline

Recliners Ltd designs and manufactures seating solutions for home and healthcare environments. Their MultiCare Plus adaptive chair features a carer-operated ‘Tilt in Space’ mechanism, allowing for multiple recline positions that redistribute pressure and support the hips, knees, and ankles.

To stay competitive in a growing market, Recliners partnered with ATiC to explore new technologies that could enhance both product performance and customer experience.

ATiC’s Contribution:

ATiC introduced Recliners to advanced digital tools and processes that transformed their approach to product development and customer engagement.

ATiC’s expertise:

Conducted a technical study of the MultiCare Plus chair, including digitisation and optimisation to reduce weight while maintaining structural integrity.
Supported the development of a 3D product configurator for Recliners’ website and explored the integration of augmented reality (AR) to improve customer service and product visualisation.

Impact:

This collaboration helped Recliners identify areas for product improvement and opened new opportunities for digital innovation in a competitive healthcare market.
