Manufacturing Execution System (MES) Dashboard
MES Dashboard Design for Garment Manufacturing
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.
Problem Statement
#Industry Challenges
1. Limited real-time visibility of production progress.
2. Complex data, making it hard to focus on critical insights quickly.
#Design Challenges
1. Balancing aesthetic UI design with functional UX.
2. Simplifying 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.
High-Fidelity Design
The dashboard includes:
1. Production Metrics: Live data visualization for machines and operators.
2. Inventory Management: Quick insights into available raw materials.
3. 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 a responsive design, it’s ready for seamless integration into manufacturing workflows.
