Introduction Imagine a world without milk. No latté, no cappuccino, no croissants. No fresh milk, yoghurt, crème fraiche or butter. No cheese – no mozzarella, brie, pecorino or Stilton, no feta, chèvre, cheddar or Bavarian bleu. No ice cream, no pizza. How could we live a civilized life without milk?
Your Task Design of an user-interface for a robotic milking station Your group – an enterprise for user-interface design – was engaged from a worldleadingproduceroffarming machinery to design the user-interface for a brand-new robotic milking station.
The Product – Analysesofthetechnology At the first meeting with the company, you received an introduction into the functioning of the robotic milking station.
The Technical Specifications Hardware: • 1 x Touch-Panel for local interaction (15” on the machine) • 1 x mobile devicefor mobile accessto Information (TabletorSmartPhone)
Specifications Twomaincomponents: • Milkingrobot • Milk tanks Identifiedusergroups: • Farmer • Service technician • Milk collector Basic functions: • Status ofthemilkingrobot („Milking in Process“, „Waiting forCow“, „Error“, „Cleaning in Process“) • Status ofthemilk tanks (Amountof milk in thetanks, Coolingtemperature) • Daily, weekly and monthly overview about the milk production • Timer for start and stop the milking robot • Error log • Adjustmentofmachineparameters(e.g. Coolingtemperature, vacuum) • User authorization • Automaticcleaningofthemilkingrobot • Pump-upthe milk fromthetanks
Approach • Analysis: Understanding the users, their tasks and the context-of-use • Structuring: Deduction of a single, harmonized task structure • Design: Deduction of abstract & concrete UIs • - Evaluation: Iterative testing of mock-ups/prototypes with users Powerpoint Mock-up Task Structure Interviews/ Specifications Design Structuring Realisation
