The Situation

A global industrial company had developed IoT sensor technology that could monitor lubricant oil condition in real-time across heavy machinery. The sensor hardware worked. The research data was promising. But the technology was trapped in a lab-phase prototype.

The Challenge

Multiple user types, conflicting needs

Four distinct roles with fundamentally different priorities and workflows.

Industry-agnostic, context-specific

Single configurable architecture across Power, Mining, Marine, and more.

From data display to decision support

Translating raw sensor readings into actionable maintenance decisions.

Our Approach

Understand

User Research

Research with maintenance engineers, technical advisors, engineering managers, operations managers.

Shape

Multi-role UX

Four distinct user experiences with abstracted backend mapping.

Build

Platform Development

Live monitoring, prediction engine, health dashboard, self-service onboarding.

Refine

Continuous Improvement

Embedded analytics, remote usability testing, structured findings log.

The Results
