Foreword

This document serves to illustrate my activities and services for the Bosch Group working as UX/UI-Designer and software engineer. Confidential information, including technical details, customer data, and personal data, has been removed to the best of my knowledge and has not been disclosed.

The project

Bosch Active Parking Lot Management (APLM) is a smart, end-to-end solution designed to optimize the operation and efficiency of parking facilities. And APLM is my first big project for Bosch. Let me show my role and tasks during this project.

My role

In this project, I served as both a UI Designer and a Software Engineer. My responsibilities spanned the entire engineering lifecycle, including: gathering user requirements, ideating potential solutions, creating wireframes, mockups, and interactive prototypes, and finally collecting user feedback. As software engineer I also supported the implementation of the user interface using Angular and other web technologies.

Personally, I really enjoyed working on this project and learned many things about IoT, cloud computing, design systems and how to use UX methods in an agile project. I could also improve my design skills and reuse my working methods and many of my templates in other projects for Bosch.

My tasks in this project

I used UX methods and followed UI design heuristics in order to create software applications for operators, service technicians and managers.

Methods I used:

  • Interviews
  • Environment inspection and observation
  • User story mapping
  • Information architecture
  • Wireframes
  • Prototyping
  • Low-fidelity mockups and high-fidelity mockups
  • User flows
  • Storytelling

To provide consistent and accessible user interfaces I created a design system that is applied for multiple applications and documented everything relevant for the design related to APLM.
