A convenient and simple instrument for wind turbines management and analysis
We designed and developed an interface that operators can customize to their needs considering information that is required. It simplifies the process of wind turbines monitoring, provides general information for the owner and makes task management more effortless.
mind map creating
We created an informational architecture to structure all the pages of the product and to create convenient navigation.
web service design
When creating a design, it is essential to order and structure a massive amount of data so that users can quickly understand what is happening in the system.
Another challenge was to develop a design that will employ only two colours without losing convenience and text readability.
light color theme
We had three target groups — operators, managers, and product owners. While operators had more demand for a dark theme, because of the significant time they spend in front of the product, managers and product owners requested to have a light color theme as an option.
result
We helped to develop a product that will allow operators to manage and control the performance of wind turbines conveniently. While testing we noticed the needs of both the manager and the owner related to the monitoring of the whole process.
