Epichust: Revolutionizing Workshop Operations with AI and IoT

4Paradigm UED's Epichust: A Smart Workshop Operation Platform

Epichust's design inspiration stemmed from the need to improve the visibility and control of the production process. The platform allows users to split the production view into multiple perspectives such as planning, logistics, order execution, and equipment. This clear representation of complex indicators, coupled with the system's ability to intelligently schedule based on production process information, enhances the efficiency of the closed loop from problem discovery to solution.

What sets Epichust apart from other platforms is its unique four-level operation visualization system. This system helps users tackle the opacity of the production process and reduce production risk. The four views - planning, logistics and order traceability, and device - each have a different presentation focus and a smooth switching experience. Furthermore, the platform visualizes each specific production line, offering users a comprehensive efficiency and experience improvement.

The realization of Epichust involved 3D modeling to simulate and analyze the production process, logistics process, and production line workstations. The platform's interface design was carefully considered in all aspects, including operation mode, interaction mode, and operation flow. The visual design focused on color matching to ensure the overall effect of the interface is aesthetically pleasing and comfortable. The data charts are intuitive, clear, and easy to understand, contributing to effective chart visualization.

The design process of Epichust, which started in November 2022 in Beijing and finished in February 2023, involved overcoming several challenges. Workshop production is a complex process that requires monitoring a large number of different types of data panels. The product's four views, each with a different presentation focus and a smooth switching experience, were designed to address this issue. The visualization of each specific production line further enhances user efficiency and experience.

Epichust's design is based on extensive research aimed at achieving a controllable and visible production process. By monitoring the status of the production process in real time, the platform helps users understand problems in the production process and make quick decisions, thereby improving production efficiency. The transparency of the entire production process also enables users to more accurately assess the use of resources, improving production efficiency and quality, and laying a solid foundation for long-term corporate development.

Epichust's design excellence has been recognized with the prestigious Platinum A' Interface, Interaction, and User Experience Design Award in 2023. This award recognizes world-class, exceptional, and highly innovative designs that showcase unmatched professionalism, contribute to societal wellbeing, and advance the boundaries of art, science, design, and technology.
