RO:BOARD
A control-room dashboard for a fleet of warehouse robots, designed to be read at a glance from six metres away.
Halvorsen Robotics ran their fleet from a tangle of spreadsheets and three vendor tools. They needed one screen that told an operator what was wrong before anyone had to ask.
The brief
One wall display, one tablet view, zero training. Every status had to be readable at distance and in a dark room.
What we built
- A three-column layout: fleet list, live map, event log
- A single warning colour, reserved for things that need a human
- Type sized by urgency instead of by hierarchy
Operators stopped asking what the screen meant. They just started acting on it.
Result
Mean time to acknowledge faults dropped from 94 to 31 seconds in the first pilot month.
