Intitial Plan for Final Project - All Gadget Charging Table - “A SMART FURNITURE”
“Charging Simplified, Style Elevated”
In today’s fast-paced world, we rely heavily on our gadgets to stay connected and productive. However, keeping track of multiple charging cables and finding available outlets can be a hassle.
This is where the my idea for All-Gadget Charging Table comes in. With its inbuilt wireless charging technology and room for hiding cables, this table provides a practical and clutter-free option for charging all of your gadgets in one place. This project aims to create a versatile and stylish charging table that will simplify the charging process for all your gadgets, freeing you to focus on the things that matter most.
The Traditional Approach: A Tangle of Wires, A Hassle to Handle
A Better Approach
Project Concept
The idea for a charging dock was inspired by the traditional bedside table, where people keep all their essentials within reach. With the increasing reliance on technology, it’s not uncommon to have multiple devices that need to be charged regularly. This led to the concept of creating a charging dock that doubles as a furniture piece and serves the purpose of keeping all your devices organized and charged in one convenient location. The All-Gadget Charging Table not only declutters your space by eliminating the need for multiple charging cables, but also adds a touch of style to your room.

Project Stages
Phase 1: Design and Development of the Charging Table
Stage 1: Construction of the Table - The first stage involves building a sturdy and spacious table that can accommodate all your gadgets.
Stage 2: Creation of a Cable Tray - A cable tray will be added to the table to neatly organize all the charging cables and keep them out of sight.
Stage 3: Integration of Wireless Charging Technology - The table will be equipped with wireless charging technology to allow for effortless charging of compatible devices.
Phase 2: Portability
The second phase focuses on making the charging table portable by integrating a battery pack into the design. This will allow you to move the table within your space.
Phase 3: Mobile App Integration
The final phase of the project involves integrating the charging table with a mobile app & a Display on table to show the Charging percentage.
With these three phases, the All-Gadget Charging Table will be a versatile and stylish solution to your charging needs, making it easier and more convenient to stay powered up and connected.
