Razvoj uporabniškega vmesnika za nastavitev krmilnika elektromotorja

RODE, MARTIN (author), Sodnik, Jaka (mentor)

Diplomsko delo je opis konkretne industrijske uporabe tehnike uporabniško usmerjenega oblikovanja za razvoj uporabniškega vmesnika. Sam izdelek je uporabniški vmesnik namenjen nastavitvi in analizi delovanja krmilnika za elektromotorje, ki je glavni produkt delovne skupine, v katero sem bil v podjetju vključen. V prvem delu naloge so opredeljena osnovna načela in potek uporabniško usmerjenega oblikovanja, v drugem delu pa je kronološko opisan razvoj krmilnika od prvih idej do funkcionalnega prototipa vmesnika. V zaključku je podana še subjektivna ocena razvoja po tej metodi iz vidika oblikovalca, ki po takem postopku razvija prvič. V nalogi so opisane tri iteracije razvoja, v okviru katerih se je ustvarilo tri prototipe in izvedlo tri kroge vrednotenja s potencialnimi uporabniki. Končni izdelek je popolnoma funkcionalen vmesnik, ustrezen za pred-izdajo vmesnika. Naloga daje večji poudarek oblikovalskim odločitvam in ugotovitvam vrednotenja, kot pa izzivom implementacije in tehničnega razvoja vmesnika. Iz poteka oblikovanja je razvidno, da je izvedba razvoja po načelih uporabniško usmerjenega oblikovanja bistveno pripomogla k bolj uporabnemu in začetniku prijaznemu produktu.

• Title: Development of a user interface for setup of an electric motor controller

Abstract

This thesis is a description of a concrete industrial application of the user-centred design technique for the development of a user interface. The product itself is a user interface used to set up and analyse the operation of an electric motor controller, which is the main product of a working group I was involved in at the company. The first part of the thesis defines the basic principles and process of user-centred design, while the second part describes the chronological development of the controller from the first ideas to the functional prototype of the interface. In the conclusion, a subjective evaluation of the development using this method is given from the point of view of a first-time designer. The thesis describes three iterations of development, during which three prototypes were created and three rounds of evaluation with potential users were carried out. The final product is a fully functional interface, suitable for pre-release. The task puts more emphasis on the design decisions and evaluation findings than on the challenges of implementation and technical development of the interface. The results of the design exercise show that the implementation of user-centred design principles contributed significantly to a more usable and beginner-friendly product.
