Wise-iEMS: Enterprise Carbon Verification Dashboard

0 to 1 Product Design Project

Timeline

Jun 2022 - Sep 2022

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

-50.0%

Energy & Cost Reduction

+30.0%

Extended Equipment Lifespan

$140K /yr

average cost saving projected in energy costs

OVERVIEW

I worked with 8 global cross-functional teams,
and lead the 0 to 1 design of an energy management dashboard
that helped saved $140K annual energy cost.

DISCOVERY

The current energy management process spend more time
communicating than collecting data!

30+ scattered excel sheets and reports...

Manual data collection

Complex report criteria

RESEARCH

I tackled 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

Low efficiency stems from communication hurdles and scattered data

After research, I understood that the carbon inventory process currently requires excessive communication, which results in the unproductive data collection process.

Market desires an integrated experience for 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

Building the ultimate solution

Streamline workflow

Centralize data

Auto generation

Support storage and discoverability of data to maximize efficiency

Ready to export report templates

Standardized workflow to reduce communication hurddles

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.

Feedback #1

Information hierarchy is the most important part for data collection.

Feedback #2

Clear overview of contents is critical for identifying errors.

New communication method

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

Easy calculation forum

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.

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!

Glad I was able to share a piece of me with you.

Let's keep in touch!
