Fluidmaster Inc., a worldwide supplier of plumbing products, desires a new and efficient hands free toilet flushing system. As a result of emerging sensor and electronic technologies becoming more cost efficient, Fluidmaster has requested several designs for innovative, electronic flushing systems to keep at the forefront of competitive flush technology. If possible, the team should incorporate several up-sell opportunities, including consistent flush volume, leak detection and prevention, dual flush capabilities, and a remote control.
