Project

For more than 25 years, E21 has specialized in the creation, design and manufacture of products and processes focused on dosing and industrial automation. Headquartered in Barcelona, well known for its high technological and industrial development, E21 relies on first class international suppliers and talent to offer the best solutions in the market.

The first objective for E21 was to have an application that would be on a par with MDOSAT, an Offset ink dosing machine, at a technological level and that would allow it to be connected to the PLC to give it precise instructions. The aim was to offer remote management solutions by facilitating virtual and off-site management of the machine, without the need for manual interaction. Secondly, the challenge was to improve the old application, which required a high level of training to use it correctly and, moreover, did not meet the user’s needs. Improving usability was crucial to reduce training and better manage the work to be done.

Description

In order to understand the user, the mimetizo team carried out on-site research or investigation tasks. At the same time, it was a question of analyzing their work to obtain and collect data – obtaining an information architecture – and, at the same time, getting to know the current infrastructure from the Mobile department in order to approach the technical part in the right way.

After finishing the research part, the mimetizo team made the prototypes and wireframes with the collected needs, besides elaborating the user tests with the intention of validating the work done. Once this part was completed, the technical team had the necessary knowledge to be able to develop the application that currently allows:

  • Optimize inventory management
  • Streamline data maintenance
  • Facilitate new management functionalities
  • Offer more efficient time planning
  • Observe, through the dispensing screen: process, weight, ink quantity, valves that are activated…
  • Transforming the dispensing queue from manual to automatic
