Problem
Gecko’s robots inspect the inside of boilers, tanks, and pipelines, dark, hazardous, hard to access spaces where a human used to have to climb a rope or scaffold just to take one measurement. Operators piloting these robots needed to control the robot, read live sensor data, and monitor asset health all at once, but the tools to do that were split across multiple screens and programs running at the same time.
Iteration
Sat with what operators actually needed in the moment, one central place to pilot the robot and read results live, not five. Also designed for the actual environment, operators are working inside dark industrial structures, not at a desk, so a light interface was actively working against them.
Solution
A simplified internal controller that brought robot piloting and live inspection data into a single interface, built in dark mode by default for the real conditions operators work in. Also built out the broader design system and UX guidelines so the interface could scale as Gecko added more robot types and inspection use cases.
Outcome
Operators could run a full inspection from one screen instead of juggling multiple tools, directly supporting Gecko’s core pitch to customers, faster inspections with more data, without adding more complexity for the people running them.
