UX Reboot and Design System

Re-establish the foundation of Kognitwin, UX and Core Concepts.

Open it on the map

Lesson

Sometimes, going back to basics is the only way forward.

The lesson in full: After years of rapid development and scaling, the Kognitwin product has accumulated a lot of technical debt, inconsistent UX patterns, fragmented concepts and teams forming silos. This effort is nowhere near complete due to the scale and ambition. Besides the technical challenges, aligning this with our existing customers is no small feat, and has only been possible with everyone wanting to move forward together.

What it is

A complete UX overhaul of the Kognitwin digital twin application, completely rethinking the user flow, interaction paradigms, and visual design to make a consistent and value-focused experience. This includes the creation of an internal design system instead of relying on Angular Material. This is the 4th app in Kognitwin, after the main ‘twin’, ‘admin’ and ‘portal’ applications.
