Designing a Smart Inventory Dashboard for Factory Operations
UX/UI design of a modern web app to streamline inventory management through QR code tagging, real-time user tracking, and zone-based access. The design focused on clarity, control, and usability to improve factory workflow and oversight.
Problem
The factory owner lacked a proper system to track inventory and user activity. Items were going unaccounted for, and there was no way to monitor who accessed which product or when. The absence of role-based access or location visibility led to inefficiencies, confusion, and operational delays.
Solution
I designed a clean, user-friendly dashboard that introduced QR-based inventory tagging, real-time user activity tracking, and zone-specific user management. The interface provides admins with full control, transparency, and improved oversight streamlining operations and boosting accountability across the factory floor.
Result
The new dashboard significantly improved operational efficiency and control. With real-time tracking and clear user accountability, inventory errors were reduced, and workflows became more streamlined. Admins could now monitor activities, assign zones, and manage products with confidence resulting in faster audits, fewer delays, and increased trust in the system.
Process
Understanding the Problem: Conducted discussions with the client to identify pain points, mainly around inventory loss, lack of user tracking, and inefficient workflows.
Defining User Roles & Flows: Mapped out key user roles (Admin, Staff) and created user flows for inventory handling, QR scanning, and activity tracking.
Wireframing: Built low-fidelity wireframes to define structure, navigation, and layout. Focused on usability and clarity across zones and modules.
Visual Design & UI System: Designed a clean, modern UI with a grid-based layout, intuitive cards, sky blue accents, and deep blue typography for clarity and brand consistency.
Feedback & Iteration: Refined the design based on client feedbac,k ensuring the interface remained simple, scalable, and factory-floor friendly.
