Warehouse Operations Service

An admin dashboard screen (and some of its components in the background) for the TiQ software.

Warehouses can be absolutely huge and complicated. And you better believe I asked to ride in a blue bin down a conveyer belt, and I was told 'no' every time... Didn't stop me from asking.

The design upgrades for TiQ were broken into phases. Here is a sample of phase 1 (of 3): the transfer of information into the new design framework.

The new design framework updated a lot of controls and interactive objects (like sliders and buttons) which trickled down to other interfaces for mechatronic devices (much easier to use a slider than a command prompt line - we tested it!). The designs were also responsive and adaptive for other hardware like custom android devices and tablets for floor work.

Here is an example screen for managing materials that are typically handled by people (goods-to-person). The name of the device is called a put-wall (on the right screen), and there is usually a WHOLE lot of put-walls in a warehouse to transfer goods. This interface design shows the overall activity of all the put-walls with ability to drill into other data like activity, labor and see if something has fallen out of a cubby (the sensors are sensitive sometimes).

Whenever there's an issue (and there is one or two occasionally in a warehouse with a bajillion moving parts), an event and alert system will let a user know what the problem is, where it is and how to fix it (or who to get mad at).
