Workstation for rapid microwave analysis

At the same time that PreeKem approached WILDDESIGN, the company was planning to move from Asia to western markets. The existing brand and product design from PreeKem was not suited to achieving the desired goals at an international level. We were therefore asked to develop a new product design and graphical user interface (GUI), as well as to create a new brand image and visual identity.

approach

After analysis of competitors and evaluation of interviews with users, WILDDESIGN developed two new products with a focus on the aspects of security and usability. The former physical interface with buttons has been replaced by a user-friendly touch screen.

results

PreeKem introduced the two products "Excel 2010" and "Q2" successfully into the western markets and drew many interested parties to the PreeKem stand at their first trade show in Germany. During this reorientation, PreeKem recorded a sharp rise in new orders. Meanwhile there has been increased feedback from users that they appreciate the new design and feel very secure with the graphical user interface on the touch screen.

GUI

challenge

Intensive research into usage habits in the laboratory marked the beginning of this project. The combination of product design and branding led to both a comprehensive brand experience as well as a significant improvement in use. New capabilities of pen input and simplified operation of the unit itself found natural counterparts in the user interface.
