Process visualisation and control for asphalt and concrete mixing plants.
The already highly regarded "as1" controller sets a standard on the market for reliability in highly complex automation controls. However, the user interface implemented with C++ is getting on in years and support from platform providers is uncertain in the medium term. Ammann wants to take on the role of technology leader and, after intensive evaluation, is relying on a web-based interface implemented with modern frameworks and vector graphics.
Existing software - The existing UI has a very high information density, which has a negative impact on the learnability of the system. In addition, several other usability-related problems were identified that can be avoided with a new concept.
User Research - Extensive user research in Switzerland, Germany and Austria
Development - Focus on reducing information density and creating dynamic information hierarchies
Showcase Video - I was given the opportunity to create a project preview for the BAUMA 2016 trade fair in Munich. In an informative trailer, the existing partial concepts were animated using After Effects and shown as a teaser at the trade fair.
