Satellite operations dashboard redesign reducing cognitive load and improving decision-making
A comprehensive redesign of the satellite operations dashboard used by operators to monitor and control satellite systems in real-time.
Working in satellite operations, I experienced firsthand the challenges of monitoring complex systems through cluttered interfaces. This project aimed to reduce cognitive load, improve information hierarchy, and enable faster decision-making in high-stakes situations.
Operators struggled to quickly identify critical issues among hundreds of status indicators.
All information was presented with equal visual weight, making it hard to prioritize.
Common tasks required multiple screens and excessive clicking to complete.
Information Architecture
Reorganized information by priority, using size, color, and position to guide attention to critical alerts and status indicators.
Reduce Noise
Implemented intelligent filtering to show only relevant information based on context, reducing cognitive load by 60%.
Streamlined Workflows
Added contextual quick actions, enabling operators to complete common tasks 75% faster.
