This project showcases the design of an MES (Manufacturing Execution System) dashboard tailored for the garment manufacturing industry. The aim was to create an intuitive, efficient, and visually appealing interface to address common challenges in production management.
The garment manufacturing sector faces numerous hurdles, from tracking machine productivity to ensuring timely order deliveries. This dashboard bridges the gap between real-time data monitoring and actionable insights, empowering managers to make informed decisions effortlessly.
Stunning results
#Industry Challenges
Limited real-time visibility of production progress.
Complex data, making it hard to focus on critical insights quickly.
#Design Challenges
Balancing aesthetic UI design with functional UX.
Simplify large datasets for easy understanding and usability.
Solution Approach
Built using Lean UX principles, this MES dashboard emphasizes rapid problem-solving, user validation, and outcome-driven decisions. The design process involved in-depth research, low-fidelity wireframing, and multiple iterations to refine the experience.
Design Features
Quick Actions: Focused purple color with a ✨ icon to enhance visibility and usability.
Color Coding: A smart use of blue for primary focus areas and green, yellow, red for status indicators to reduce cognitive load.
Clean Navigation: Sidebar navigation for modular ease and minimized distractions.
Real-Life Insights: User stories helped inform practical solutions, ensuring the design stays relevant.
High-Fidelity Design
The dashboard includes:
Production Metrics: Live data visualization for machines and operators.
Inventory Management: Quick insights into available raw materials.
Order Tracking: Monitor the real-time status of ongoing projects.
Design Process
Starting with user research and sketches, I transitioned to Figma for wireframes, prototypes, and high-fidelity designs. Each step prioritized functionality, visual hierarchy, and user accessibility.
Final Outcome
The MES Dashboard is a visually cohesive, data-driven tool that simplifies garment manufacturing operations. With clean typography, a well-organized UI kit, and responsive design, it’s ready for seamless integration into manufacturing workflows.
