Unified GAS DETECTION Software Platform

The Project

 

The objective of the unified software platform project was to offer a Honeywell-branded umbrella application, universally compatible with safety assets from any Honeywell-acquired manufacturer, to supersede the existing, proprietary software tools. As binding link between diverse hardware systems, an application with uncompromising user experience is vital to sustained customer loyalty to Honeywell - with technical integrity a given. The new offering is intended as software-as-a-service (SAAS), eventually responsive, client server application:

Information Architecture

The application is modular. What you see, interact with, and may manipulate as a user depends on the exact lineup of modules your organization subscribes to, and your user role. Access to specific modules may be privileged on a need-to-know basis, and/or indeed follow formal accountabilities for operational safety.

 

VISUAL DESIGN

Selection of comps produced in Sketch, with focus on…

  • Dual brand: Honeywell plus customers’ proprietary corporate identity (here by a fictitious company called ‘Petrarco’)

  • Dashboard presenting key metrics relating to operating a gas detector fleet with supporting infrastructure

  • List of assets with sort, search and filter functions to manage information at various scales

  • Detector parameters presented in topical groups (details, sensors, settings tabs) for ease of scanning

  • Consistent primary, secondary, and tertiary calls-to-action

 

INTERACTION DESIGN

Wireframe set specifying the user flow for onboarding a new device – a gas detector in this instance:

  • Adding a new device to the safety asset inventory

  • Approving the newly added device (legal requirement)

  • Inventory overview with filtering and sorting functions

  • Viewing device parameters; bearing of connected and disconnected states on the ability to modify parameters

  • Modal ‘drilldown’ dialogs for editing individual sensor settings

Low-Fidelity Mockups

...of tablet and smartphone based software versions.
