Case Study
Rethinking the work with powerful engines by Siemens.
Siemens • 2018
Challenge
A powerful engine is also part of a powerful machine. To ensure the performance of a motor in the long term, motors should be started as gently and economically as possible to achieve a clean result.
Key contributions • Lead Design, UX Consulting, Concept, Interface Design

New icon set which fits the newton icon design.
Concepts and wireframes
After an extensive analysis of the current Siemens STS app prototype has been conducted, the first usability findings have been classified and prioritized. On this basis, new design approaches and concepts were defined.
Interface design
The design is based on the Newton style of Siemens AG. Specially developed components and UI controls improve the usability and affordance in the daily use with the machines.
New iconset
The created icon set fits seamlessly into the Newton style guide and makes it easier for users to get an overview of functions and information. The app icon acts as an entry point into the new world of soft starters and fulfills the requirements of Siemens AG's corporate design.
