Industrial intelligence
About
Anvil Labs brings industrial site management into one platform, combining 3D models, drone data, spatial analytics, and site activity monitoring.
The platform allows users to plan drone missions, annotate maps, monitor live site activity, and generate reports — bringing complex industrial data into a single workspace.
As the platform brought more data and functionality together, the challenge was to make that complexity accessible without overwhelming the user.
The redesign focused on creating a clearer, more intuitive experience where users could easily understand, control, and interact with complex spatial information.
Challenges
Complexity vs. Clarity
Displaying 3D models, map annotations, and live drone footage simultaneously created a visually dense experience that could be difficult to understand, especially for users without technical expertise.
Mobile Usability
The high information density and complex interactions became even more challenging on mobile devices, where limited screen space made navigation and data exploration harder.
Precise Interaction
Map annotation required accurate interaction, but touch-based controls made it difficult to select and annotate specific areas with precision.
Goals
Give Users Control Over Information
Create a flexible experience where users can choose which layers and data are visible, reducing visual noise and focusing attention on what matters.
Simplify Mobile Workflows
Adapt complex functionality into simplified mobile layouts with clearer navigation and more accessible controls.
Improve Interaction Precision
Redesign annotation tools to support more accurate touch interactions and give users greater control when working with detailed spatial data.
Deliverables
