The core challenge for the eMBScope redesign lay in balancing technical modernization with the diverse needs of its users. The original 2008 application, while functional, was showing its age and lacked the flexibility to integrate with the new Turing architecture.
Simultaneously, the user base encompassed a wide spectrum of expertise, from those new to magnetic bearing systems to seasoned specialists. The redesign needed to bridge this expertise gap, simplifying the inherently complex technology for novices while retaining the depth and control required by experts, all within a robust and future-proof interface.

eMBScope’s UI prioritizes clear and concise data visualization. By strategically employing charts, gauges, and key value indicators within each panel, I surfaced critical real-time system parameters directly within the user’s view. This explicit data surfacing eliminated the need for extensive drilling down, empowering users to quickly grasp system status and make informed decisions at a glance, even within complex operational scenarios.
