Project overview.

Client: ebm-papst

ebm-papst needed a bespoke real-time monitoring dashboard to track the performance and health of their physical devices. This project involved full web development, hosting, and infrastructure setup for seamless data insights. We led the entire UX and UI design process, focusing on usability and efficiency to create an intuitive, user-friendly solution.

The core focus was on the technology used to connect to devices and how information was then displayed through a user friendly dashboard. An additional two key factors were security and reliability. As a company who serve many thousands of clients in the UK, they needed to ensure their system was not vulnerable to web-based attacks and that their clients had access to up-to date information about their machines with accurate alerts.

The result is a responsive platform that enables ebm-papst to monitor key metrics in real time, improving decision-making and operational efficiency.

  • The image shows the exterior of an ebm-papst building. The main entrance features a glass structure with two doors, surrounded by grey metal pillars and a roof that has thin, slanted supports. The company's name, "ebm-papst," is prominently displayed in blue on the building's facade. To the left, a large white sign with the same name stands tall, with "ebm" in black and "papst" in blue. The landscape includes neatly trimmed bushes
  • A flowchart on a light blue background depicting a user interface layout. The top section includes a green box labelled "Login," with options below for "Forgot password" (red) and "Reset password" (red). Below that, a central orange box labelled "Dashboard" connects to blue boxes labelled "Devices," "Locations," and "Team." The "Devices" box leads to an orange box for "Export csv." The "Locations" box branches into "All regions," "Region," and others
  • A modern exhibition display featuring a large circular structure at its centre, designed to resemble a turbine or fan, with a swirling blue and white graphic at its core. Surrounding the circular element are transparent panels and blue lines extending outward, creating a dynamic visual effect. In the background, several screens display images and information related to energy efficiency. Two people in business attire are visible near the display, engaging with the content. The logo "ebmpapst" is prominently featured on the front of the display
  • A computer screen for the ebm-papst project showing device activity on a graph, with different timings on the X axis and measurment on the Y axis
  • A close-up view of a sign displaying the word "ebmpapst" in a modern font. The letters "ebm" are in bold black, while "papst" features a lighter blue colour for the letter "p" and remains in black for the remaining letters. The background shows a blurred, contemporary building with glass windows and steps leading up to the entrance. The overall atmosphere is professional and clean, suggesting a corporate environment.
  • A spacious warehouse interior featuring several forklifts in operation. In the foreground, a forklift is transporting two stacked grey boxes labelled "ebmpapst" with black text, indicating ownership and weight capacity. Two workers, one in a grey shirt and another in a yellow safety vest, are near the forklifts, engaged in tasks. The background shows additional boxes on pallets, storage racks, and overhead signage, all under bright lighting. The overall atmosphere conveys a busy, organised logistics environment.

Building the solution.

We created a full range of UI designs based on the initial brief. This covered a range of topics, from delivering key information to multi-site operations and alerts through to what data was required and most useful to have in real time.

Once signed off, our Laravel development team then ensured the data was packaged and sent correctly, showing accurate information in real time. This work was completed in tandem with the products team at ebm-papst who had to utilise new technology and firmware updates to facilitate the setup of the system.

Following completion there was extensive testing to ensure a seamless experience across platforms, with the product then going on to be released at EMEX 2024 (a national trade show).

The InSights platform is currently being rolled out to existing clients and new clients, with ebm-papst excited to showcase the new range of real-time information they can now deliver to clients via the dashboard.

Working with We Create has been effortless in their understanding of what is required, proactiveness to solving any issues and becoming an extension of our team.

A simple, white light bulb illustration with rays emanating from the top, set against a solid black background. The light bulb is outlined clearly, featuring a classic shape with a rounded top and a narrow base. The rays, drawn as short lines, suggest illumination and creativity. The overall design is minimalistic and conveys a sense of inspiration and ideas.
