Problem
Factory managers struggled to monitor machine performance and production status in real time. The existing system relied on manual reporting and scattered dashboards, making it difficult to identify issues quickly.

Solution
Gold-Tech unifies real-time monitoring, predictive alerts, and technician workflows into one clean IoT platform. It turns reactive maintenance into proactive insights, reducing downtime and improving operational efficiency.

Before vs After Design
Before Design
Before Design
Dashboard showed too many metrics on one screen, making it difficult to focus on key insights.
Navigation was confusing, and users had to click multiple times to find important information.
Data visualization lacked hierarchy, so critical alerts were not easily noticeable.
The interface looked outdated and inconsistent across different modules.
After Design
After Design
Designed a focused KPI dashboard highlighting the most critical performance metrics.
Simplified navigation with a clear sidebar structure and logical grouping of features.
Introduced data visualizations and charts that make trends and issues easier to identify.
Created a consistent design system for better usability and scalability.

Operator Task
Operator Task
The operator task screen shows a clear list of assigned tasks such as inspections, machine checks, or routine maintenance steps. Each task includes priority, due time, and the machine it belongs to, helping operators stay organized. Simple actions like “Start,” “Mark Complete,” or “Add Notes” keep workflows smooth and trackable. This screen ensures operators always know what to do next and reduces delays on the factory floor.
