Client cases

The work we do makes a significant contribution to the success of our clients. The cases below demonstrate how Namahn has developed solutions for a wide range of design challenges, covering for consumer, business and technical products.

Gas-flow planning tool

Flow Engineers in the Fluxys central control room perform the complex task of planning and monitoring gas flows through the distribution system in real-time. The human-machine interface (HMI) for the new gas-flow planning tool POLARIS was therefore a major concern. Namahn designed a tool that retrieves, manages and displays vast amounts of flow planning data from other applications. We have worked closely on the POLARIS project since 2003 as part of an agile development process.

Integrated application suite for Traffic Control Centres

The rapid expansion of Verkeerscentrum Vlaanderen (traffic control centre for Flanders) required a thorough revision of its processes and applications. Namahn was asked to redesign the basic traffic monitoring functionality and to provide a basis for future integration of traffic monitoring tools.

HMI prototype for an air-traffic tool

In air traffic radio communication, call signs (aircraft flight identifiers) and other abbreviations can sound confusingly similar, leading to potentially hazardous situations and even accidents. Eurocontrol asked Namahn to design an HMI prototype for a tool that all air traffic stakeholders in their area of operations will use to detect and resolve potentially similar call signs.

User interface for a payment terminal

For a new generation of point-of-sales payment terminals, Atos Worldline turned to Namahn to create a user-friendly and appealing user interface that would explore the full potential of the large, 16-bit colour display. Making creative use of the display’s opportunities for text, colour, icons and animations, we designed an engaging user interface with the right mix of professionalism and playfulness.

Online information portal for counter staff

Counter staff at bpost need to respond promptly to customer requests for service or information, covering an extensive product portfolio. To increase efficiency and customer satisfaction, bpost turned to Namahn for support tools to improve the provision of information.

Application suite for HR customer support

Dossier managers at SD Worx were using a range of standalone applications to provide HR services to SMEs. Lack of integration between these applications made it difficult to handle the constant influx of requests from client companies. SD Worx requested Namahn to help rationalise the working environment of dossier managers.

Radiographer’s workstation

Agfa Healthcare called on Namahn to overhaul the user interface of a digital image processing and management product completely, making sure it corresponded more closely to the radiographers’ workflow.

User interface for WIR system

Wafer Inspection Reclassification (WIR) is the monotonous and repetitive task of manually checking semiconductor chips with an optical inspection system. An appropriate user interface was needed to minimise physical and mental strain for operators and help them to make the right decisions, faster.
