AXIONE IOT

Re-design of IoT platform

Axione - a major player in smart infrastructure - operates multiple IoT solutions through the IOThink platform, covering domains such as air quality, smart parking, waste management, and environmental monitoring.

Context

Axione’s IoT ecosystem connects sensors across smart cities, buildings, and environmental infrastructures.The original platform - built on IOThink technology - was powerful but complex to navigate, especially for non-technical users.

Goal

Goal

Transform a highly technical tool into a clear, scalable, and human-centered experience.

Main challenges

Lock
Challenge N°1

Multi-profile audience: designing for both technical users (engineers, maintenance) and non-technical ones (city operators, managers).

Lock
Challenge N°2

Fragmented user experience: multiple dashboards built independently, each with different UI logic and terminology.

Lock
Challenge N°3

Scalability: ensuring one design system could adapt to different IoT domains — air quality, waste, mobility, building management.

Process

The redesign of Axione’s IoT platform was guided by a business- and collaboration-oriented approach, focusing on enterprise needs, platform constraints, and technical feasibility rather than traditional end-user testing.The process combined strategic alignment, co-creation, and cross-functional teamwork to ensure the new design was both realistic and impactful.

Outcome & Reflection

Checkmark
Achievements

Unified design system: created a modular and scalable design language adaptable across multiple IoT applications.

Lock
Challenges

- Technical and visual limitations: the existing platform architecture restricted layout flexibility.
- No direct user research: due to internal project constraints, the redesign had to rely on business needs and stakeholder input, not on formal user testing.

Solution

A unified IoT platform that transforms complex datasets into intuitive visual dashboards, improving efficiency, awareness, and user confidence across the entire smart city ecosystem.

Dashboard showing temperature, humidity, CO2, and COV levels with circular gauges, a color-coded quality index, and device image, including annotations about sensor-based cards, mobile-friendly design, and energy label-inspired quality index.
Digital dashboard showing showroom Terrabundo's sensor overview with battery status, quantity, defaults, and spatial mapping on a building floor plan with air quality details.
Digital dashboard showing Herlin Le Sec carpool parking area with labeled parking spots, occupancy status, capacity indicators, and a location map.
Dashboard interface showing IoT live data on fill-levels and container status for waste management in Saint Pol sur Ternoise with dynamic fill-level visuals and map integration for operational coordination.
