About Nova App
Nova is the new app designed for Pharmathek robotic warehouses solutions. It helps pharmacists, sales-people or warehouse workers to manage product rotation and deadlines, optimize times, costs and consumptions. A revolutionary workflow where innovation is able to improve the relationship of professionals with their customers, and where intelligent automation can take charge of repetitive tasks. Nova sets itself apart by combining aesthetics with user-friendliness, ensuring a relaxing, engaging, and personalized experience.
Eugenio Bini's Nova App represents a significant achievement within the evolving discourse of human-centered interface design, demonstrating how digital tools intended for professional operational environments can balance functional clarity with aesthetic refinement, the work emerging from a design philosophy that prioritizes intuitive navigation through thoughtfully structured visual hierarchies where each element serves both communicative and experiential purposes, the interface architecture employing a restrained palette of deep charcoal as ground against which white typographic elements and strategically deployed tangerine orange accents create immediate legibility and guide the user through sequential operational steps with effortless comprehension, this chromatic discipline reflects mature understanding of how color functions not merely decoratively but as wayfinding system within complex informational environments, the numbered workflow structure demonstrates appreciation for cognitive load management by breaking multistep processes into discrete digestible units each clearly labeled and visually distinguished, the geometric iconography including the dimensional cube with directional indicators communicates function through universally interpretable visual language transcending linguistic barriers, the photograph documenting the interface in active use reveals how the design performs within its intended context where a professional user engages naturally with the touchscreen her gesture suggesting comfortable familiarity with the interaction paradigm, the surrounding environment with its sophisticated coordination of cool sage architectural surfaces warm wooden flooring and considered lighting design provides appropriate professional atmosphere while the colorful elements visible on distant shelving suggest the organized complexity that such systems are designed to manage, viewers are invited to consider how the most successful interface designs achieve a kind of visual hospitality welcoming users into productive engagement through clarity generosity and respect for human cognitive patterns rather than imposing technological complexity upon the user experience.

- Production Technology
- The design was created using a user-centered approach, involving iterative wireframing and prototyping. Company values and mission guided visuals and UI project, with a focus on simplicity and accessibility. User feedback and usability testing played a crucial role in refining the interface and UX. The final design prioritizes user comfort, engagement, and customization.
- Design Challenge
- The most important challenge was to setup the workflow and draw the ux. During this process it was also necessary to improve and fix some technologies issues regarding interaction between app, hardware and third-party systems.
- Project Duration
- Research - 1 month
Concept and prototyping - 2 months
Evolutives & App development - 3 months - Operation Flow
- As a part of Pharmathek philosophy, Nova promotes a new direction of industrial development in which design can optimize times, cost and consumptions. The new interface is able to offer an intuitive and easy to use experience, organised in various screens that may enable the operator to perform all the functions offered by the system. In particular: "Warehouse status" enables the operator to monitor the status of the warehouse (medicines availability, boxes position, ongoing operations, etc.), including information on its normal functioning; "Load" enables the operator to enter medicines inside the warehouse; "Modify" enables the operator to edit the information of a product already present inside the warehouse or to perform the first registration of a product that is added to the system for the first time; "Unload" enables the operator to select the medicines to unload from the warehouse, according to various criteria and filters, with the possibility to choose at what exit the products should be delivered; "Search" helps the operator to research and visualize the position where a specific box is located inside the warehouse, to perform some checks and to address anomalies, if any, related to the products added to the system. Moreover, the operator is able to perform some maintenance tasks or to run queries on the warehouse to read system messages.
- Research
- Type of Research: User-Centered Design Research
Research Objectives: To create a user-friendly app interface that maximizes engagement and relaxation.
Methodology: Employed a mixed-methods approach combining qualitative and quantitative data. Conducted surveys, interviews, and usability testing.
Data Collection and Research Tools Used: Surveys were conducted using Google Forms, interviews via Zoom, and usability testing with tools like UserTesting.com. Data analyzed using qualitative coding and statistical software.
