PROJECT OVERVIEW
An aluminium enterprise operated industrial ovens where operators managed settings such as suction, heat, airflow, and consumption. By monitoring and adjusting these variables, they gained a clear understanding of the system and could fine-tune the environment within specific areas of the oven.
THE Problem
No precise method for analyzing performance or determining when adjustments to levers were needed.
There was also no efficient way to log actions or track who made specific changes.
Lack of visual data collection made it difficult for operators to understand and compare changes.
Process
Information Architecture
Collaborated with a data scientist to structure the data model and interface hierarchy. Defined how metrics like suction, heat, and airflow would be visualized and prioritized.
Interface + UI Design
Created wireframes and early interface concepts focused on clarity. Brand identity into a scalable UI, focusing on clarity, accessibility, and user flow.
Design System
Built a modular design system with reusable components, interaction states.
Prototyping
Designed interactive prototype to test to gather feedback and refine components and layouts.
Early Interface
Design system
Data visualisations
Defined the visualisation approach for each key metric—suction, heat, airflow, and energy consumption—using tailored formats like gauges, trend graphs, and real-time indicators to support quick, informed decision-making by operators.
