THE CHALLENGE

With many years in the industry, Kinetico needed an innovative IOT product line for their commercial business.

A normal device is not nearly as powerful as an IOT device which allows for real time water/data tracking, digital installation via a mobile app, and constant connectivity to a cloud environment via Wifi

OUR DESIGN PROCESS

Design process

Designing an admin panel for an IoT custom software involves understanding the user’s needs, mapping out the functionality, and creating a clean, intuitive interface that enables efficient monitoring and control of connected devices.

Define information architecture for all platform technology.

For Kinetico, we focused first on the admin panel which would have an all inclusive data hierarchy. We then worked on the brand admin panel and the installer mobile application, both were subsets of the admin panel data.

Translate the UX Research into visual elements.

The UI elements for Kinetico included IOT specific components such as data charts, QR code scanning, pie charts, and bluetooth/wifi connection. In addition, the platform also included standard UI components such as buttons, file inputs, and much more!

Visual Design

Our design team used Figma as our tool of choice to create wireframes and high fidelity designs. We designed every possible user interaction in the visual design and included nuances such as empty states, first time onboarding, error messages, success messages and much more!

OUR SOLUTION

A web dashboard for Kinetico and for it’s brands to track their devices and IOT data, and a mobile app for installers to activate devices.

The web admin dashboard for Kinetico includes brand management, location tracking, user/team management, IOT data charts, IOT triggered alerts, and much more! The mobile app for installers has powerful features such as real time GPS, QR code scanning, and a complex integration to AWS IOT Core.

Feature highlight

Devices

The commercial Kinetico IOT product suite includes three major product categories which have a diverse set of IOT data such as water flow, pressure, temperature, filter cartridge expiration/exhaustion and much more.

🔹Water filters

🔹 Reverse Osmosis

🔹 Water Softeners

Admin panel

The admin panel was built on state of the art web technologies such as React.js, Node.js, MySQL, and DynamoDB. The cloud environment is Amazon Web Services and the IOT infrastructure uses AWS IOT Core for key tasks such as OTA updates.

🔹 For Kinetico and partnered brands

Data Charts

The web dashboard and mobile applications include complex data charts for tracking water flow, pressure, salt levels and much more.

OTA Updates

The admin dashboard includes firmware upload and version management and allows for admin to initiate OTA updates based on complex rules

Bluetooth/wifi connectivity

The mobile app allows an installer to use Bluetooth to connect to the device and pass it Wifi credentials to establish a permanent online connection to AWS.

QR Code Scanning

The installer app allows for scanning a QR code to activate the device.

Location Details

Every location has different devices, alerts, user permissions, and unique IOT data.
