FEATURED CASE STUDY

From thousands of machine signals to the few a site manager acts on

Hitachi / PVS Data. Construction fleets were streaming high-frequency CAN bus telemetry with no usable operational view. I designed the dashboards and an inspection app that turn it into decisions a site manager can act on.

Paper safety inspections replaced by a mobile workflow linked to each machine.
