This UX/UI design project at Plastometrex focused on creating intuitive software for non-technical users conducting pipe strength testing. The primary challenge involved designing for rugged laptops with small, low-quality screens - typical in industrial environments. We considered operators working in harsh conditions without scientific backgrounds, minimising training costs whilst preventing inaccurate results.
Our user-centred approach improved consistency through clear text hierarchy, cohesive colour schemes, and limited components for better platform integration. We enhanced usability by providing clearer instructions, reducing clicks, combining interfaces, and strategically organising busy screens. The interface was optimised for improved readability and touch interaction, ensuring critical information remained accessible from a distance - essential for successful industrial software development used in demanding environments.
