Problem space – the devices have an outdated software design that does not meet the expectations of modern users
User Research
Our user-centric design approach ensures that the machine meets the diverse needs of its primary users: Programmers, Maintenance Technicians, Power Users, and Service Personnel. Each of these user profiles has unique requirements and interactions with the machine, and our design caters to their specific needs to enhance efficiency, usability, and satisfaction.
Design System
The design system of Schleuniger’s machine software was meticulously crafted to align with the company’s brand identity. It was crucial to ensure that both the machine and its software embodied the company’s distinct style, making them easily recognizable as part of the Schleuniger brand.
Schleuniger’s brand colors prominently feature throughout the design, creating a cohesive and visually appealing interface. The machine itself, along with its software elements, showcases rounded corners, which contribute to a modern and approachable aesthetic. This design choice enhances the user experience by providing a visually smooth and friendly interface.
The interface employs sharp contrasts to highlight key features and controls, ensuring that users can navigate the software with ease. A dark background was chosen for the software interface, harmonizing with the machine’s dark exterior. This not only enhances readability and reduces eye strain but also reinforces the sleek, professional appearance of the machine.
Prototyping
Intuitive navigation is crucial in stripping machine software design as it directly impacts the efficiency and productivity of the operators. A well-designed interface allows users to quickly understand and access the necessary functions without extensive training. This reduces the likelihood of errors and downtime, ensuring smoother operations. Intuitive navigation also enhances user satisfaction by providing a seamless and straightforward experience, allowing operators to focus on their tasks rather than struggling with complex software. Ultimately, it leads to improved operational efficiency, better workflow, and increased profitability for businesses utilizing stripping machines.
Evaluating Usability
Evaluating the usability of software for Schleuniger stripping machines involves a comprehensive approach to ensure an intuitive and efficient user experience. The process includes conducting thorough usability tests, collecting detailed user feedback, and analyzing interaction patterns to pinpoint areas for improvement. Utilizing user-centered design principles, the evaluation aims to align the software’s functionality with user needs, enhancing both satisfaction and productivity. The ultimate goal is to streamline operations, making Schleuniger stripping machines more accessible and user-friendly for technicians and engineers in the wire processing industry.
