Research Study 144 / 200
Industrial equipment design obscures operating status
The enclosure and interface fail to provide a coherent view of operating information, making status difficult to monitor.
Three-step solution method
- Identify the status information operators need to see from different distances and angles.
- Study display placement, viewing areas, and the hierarchy of status indicators.
- Verify how users notice and interpret operating status during on-site tasks.
Key Deliverables
- Status Visibility Map
- Exterior Zoning
- Status Indicator Design
Verification Approach
Compare missed critical information and changes in users’ viewing positions.
