Advansor
About the project
Advansor A/S is a Danish company that develops sustainable CO₂-based refrigeration systems for industrial and commercial purposes. The company focuses on providing energy-efficient and environmentally friendly solutions for supermarkets and cold storage facilities, among others. As part of their technology, they have implemented a tablet on their refrigeration systems, which is used by technicians to monitor and control the systems. I designed an app interface and a design system for the tablets used by technicians to monitor and control the refrigeration systems.

Key challenges
The challenge was to create an intuitive and user-friendly design for technicians that could easily integrate with existing hardware and at the same time be easy to implement and use in a busy industrial context
Goal
The goal was to design an app and a system that would allow technicians to quickly get an overview and control the systems efficiently. Additionally, the solution needed to be easy to implement and adaptable in practice.
The Solution
I developed a design system that could be adapted to Advansor’s different systems. The app was designed with a focus on functionality and simplicity, and the UX design for ValueBox ensured an effective and intuitive user experience
Understand
My design approach started with understanding the technical and practical needs of Advansor’s team and their technicians. I held several meetings and analyzed the existing technology, working closely with the development team.
Research
Advansor’s systems involve complex data and methodologies, requiring extensive research to understand their implications. I familiarized myself with the technical details of their products to ensure the design addressed both the technical and user needs, enabling a seamless and intuitive experience.
Design
In the initial design phase, I focused on defining the app’s structure and architecture to effectively present the complex data. I worked on organizing and categorizing the information so that the technicians could quickly get a clear overview.
Prototyping & Testing:
After defining the app’s structure and architecture, I created a prototype to test whether all necessary functions and data were correctly included. The prototype was used to validate whether the data was presented effectively and if the technicians could navigate intuitively.
Before & after
Learnings
I learned how to combine technical design with user needs in an industrial context. It was a valuable experience in creating solutions that not only look good but are also practical and effective in real-world use.
Simon quickly understood our needs and familiarised himself with our design, after which he delivered solutions that work effectively in practice.
I can give Simon my warmest recommendation, and there is no doubt about who I’ll contact next time we need user-friendly and well-crafted design.
