OX Gauge
Problem
About 28% of Americans would not be able to cover a unexpected $500 car repair without taking on debt.
Preventive Maintenance
Benefits
Increases productivity and asset life
Minimizes downtime
Reduces major repairs
Preventative maintenance can reduce costs by 12-18% and generate a remarkable 400% return on investment
Setting aside maintenance resources before issues arise has short-term costs, but the long-term benefits are real. Research consistently demonstrates that every dollar invested in preventive or predictive maintenance saves up to five dollars on unforeseen expenses
Research Question
How might we design a gauge for an automobile that looks streamlined and still provides needed information cleanly? How might this gauge contribute to real-time data monitoring, and what correlations exist between the digital readings and the vehicle's efficiency and longevity?
