No hidden dangers
Ulstein, known as one of Norway's major innovators in shipbuilding with its high-profile X-Bow ships, contacted EGGS Design to create the world's best user experience of IAS (Integrated Automation Systems) as part of its investment in ship automation and bridge systems. The task was simple: make sure everything is above board and visible when it comes to the boat's warning and control systems.
Panel remarks
Creating such an easy and intuitive system for something as complex as a modern supply ship is impressive. An enormous amount of information needs to be presented correctly by interactive and visual means, and errors can result in fatal consequences. Here, EGGS Design shows its strategic and design strength; for example, the alarm star that makes it possible to understand the ship's alarm situation through pattern recognition – an excellent solution. This is a world-class software product in its genre, purchased by a customer that repeatedly shows its determination and ability to use design to innovate and create new markets.
