Increasingly, companies are requesting remote management solutions that allow them to decentralize the control and management of their industrial assets. Discover this case study.<\/p>\n

A challenge for Pasiona<\/strong><\/h2>\n

E21 Technologies<\/a> is a company that, for more than 25 years, has specialized in the creation, design and manufacture of products and processes focused on dosing and industrial automation.<\/p>\n

MDOSAT is a conventional offset ink dosing machine that E21 has created ad hoc <\/em>for those users who always need an exact color. The MDOSAT medium dispensing allows repetitive dosing, automatically and without losing the traceability of the colors made.<\/p>\n

The first objective for E21 was to have an application that was at the height of MDOSAT at a technological level and that allowed to connect to the PLC to give precise instructions. The aim was to offer remote management solutions<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n

Research<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Although we had the knowledge of what E21 required from us a remote management solution, we considered it essential to interview the users of the MDOSAT machine what they really needed.<\/p>\n

In order to understand the user, the mimetizo team carried out in situ, in<\/em> various points of the Spanish geography, the research 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.<\/p>\n

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. The result was a style guide and an evaluation. Once this part was completed, the technical team had the necessary knowledge to be able to develop the application.<\/p>\n

The information obtained so far, that is, the functionality of the application and infrastructure of the clients allowed the Mobile department to draw some key conclusions to optimize the production process:<\/p>\n
