Overview
Dragon Army partnered with TKE to design a comprehensive dashboard that monitors over 1.4 million elevator and escalator units worldwide. Our goal was to create a clear, user-friendly system that presents complex data hierarchies effectively. We focused on designing an experience that allows users to easily view, filter, and interpret key data points regardless of the scale of their operations.
Challenges
The main challenge was managing a vast amount of data that varied widely between users. Some users monitor a single unit at one location, while others oversee hundreds across multiple locations. This required a flexible design solution capable of handling diverse data sets without overwhelming the user, ensuring that each could quickly access relevant metrics like unit count, operational status, and location details.
Solution
We developed a modular design system using highly customizable data visualization components. This system allowed us to build dynamic, reusable elements that adapt seamlessly to desktop and mobile platforms, enabling users to monitor units remotely while on-site. Each component was designed to maintain consistency in appearance and functionality, providing users with a unified experience across devices.
Delight
To add personality, we incorporated subtle animations into the dashboard, especially for elevators reporting no issues. These animations celebrated smooth operations, turning routine monitoring into a positive experience that highlighted TKE’s commitment to reliability and performance.
Conclusion
The TKE Portal delivered a high-quality, user-centric dashboard with over 50 custom components tailored to diverse data visualization needs. Our team developed a cohesive color language to ensure clear and consistent data presentation. This intuitive, powerful tool empowers users to gain valuable insights into their operations, enhancing productivity and operational awareness on a global scale.
