Summary
Advantech is the world's No.1 industrial PC market provider who is developing an integrated solution for energy management across multiple industry domains. I joined the Wise-iEMs product team to lead end-to-end research and design of a front and back-end dashboard system.
My Role
Lead Product Designer: I lead the 0 to 1 research and design of the product. Shaping information structure, user flows, and conducted rapid prototyping for key milestones.
I lead meetings with international branches to align on product roadmap, while ensuring business goals are met and user needs are fulfilled.
Outcomes

$140K /yr
Average cost saving projected in energy costs
Overview
I worked with 8 global cross-functional teams
to unify fragmented sustainability workflows into a single decision-support platform.
Discovery
The energy management process is complicated and time-consuming
Energy management is a critical process that involves stakeholders of all-levels to collaborate. Two key problems that companies are facing is not knowing WHAT are the key processes and HOW to do it efficiently.
Target Audience
Who are we designing for?
Our primary users are data collectors that physically collects, calculate, and document energy data. And data managers that regulates energy performances of operating units based on metrics of business ERG protocols.
Design Highlights
Streamlined communication channels
The task regulator acts as a communication bridge between managers and data collectors. No more scattered and forgotten tasked, every request and action will be recorded in one centralized place!

No more endless email threads!!!
This is revolutionary
Data collection workflow automation
Goodbye to endless excel calculation sheets! I created a forum that workers from all experience levels can easily adapt to. This allowed quicker onboarding process and boosted data collection efficiency.

Genre specific data visualization
The front-end dashboard surfaces key insights for managers and high-level executives to regulate from. I designed 15+ data visualization widgets that compliments with the design system.
Research
Tackling an unfamiliar problem space in a 3 month rapid timeline
One of the biggest challenges I faced was my unfamiliarity with the problem space of energy management. I conducted extensive secondary research on government protocols to familiarize myself with the context of carbon management and technical terms.
Desktop research
User interviews
Market analysis
Interviews with 6 critical target audiences.
Market analysis on 5 competitor products
Literature review on ESG government protocols
Key Insight
The current energy management process spend more time
communicating than collecting data!
30+ scattered excel sheets and reports...
Manual data collection
Complex report criteria
While pain points scattered throughout the user journey of data collection and management, I synthesized 3 key pain points that was the most critical and impactful to be solved within the 3 month timeline that I have.
Complicated workflow
Manual data gathering and calculaion process is time-consuming and labor intensive
Communication gap between collectors and managers
Each update, modification, and edit currently requires days to weeks to be communicated.
Poor data centralization
"Searching for historical data is like searching for a needle in hay!"
Looking Out
Market gap exists for an integrated system of management and communication
I evaluated 5 competitive products and summarized the critical components of energy management solutions. One key insight was that there currently isn't an integrated experience for management + communication optimization in the market.
Design Principles
What makes a successful energy management platform?
At this point, I started converging on design pillars that would ground every design decision that follow. This step created a mutual consensus between me as a designer and the key stakeholders.
Streamline workflow
Focus on creating an end-to-end user flow and reduce diverged flows that create communication hurdles.
Consistency
Prioritize consistent user experience between front and back-end dashboard.
Automation
Complete redundant tasks that require long manual efforts.
Intuitive
Users should be able to utilize the platform and complete their tasks as fast as possible.
Validation
Brining emphasis on what matters the most
After we've reached consensus on our key features, I led our team to mid-fi & hi-fi dashboard screens and conducted A/B testing with the Energy Management team to refine the information architecture, UI design, and ensuring the changes compliment with the user's workflow.

What did I learn?
✨
Ask Questions! Approach Complexity with Clarity
Over the three-month internship, I learned the importance of "asking the right questions", especially when working with a topic as complex as enterprise energy management. In addition to that, mapping out a clear roadmap from the start helped ensure product development aligned with business timelines.
🍎
Sometimes inspirations come from a chat during lunch!
One of the highlights of this experience was connecting with an amazing group of interns from diverse backgrounds. I especially enjoyed exchanging ideas with my peers and receiving feedback from different perspectives—it was one of my favorite aspects of the internship!
