The Scenario
A logistics company operates 200 delivery vehicles across Gauteng. The operations centre needs a real-time dashboard showing vehicle locations, delivery progress, and automatic alerts when something goes wrong (late delivery, vehicle breakdown, route deviation).
The Brief
Design a real-time monitoring dashboard for the operations centre. It will be displayed on a large wall-mounted screen and must be readable from 3 metres away. Focus on what triggers alerts, how alerts are escalated, and how the dashboard distinguishes "normal" from "needs attention".
Deliverables
- The dashboard layout for a wall-mounted 65-inch display: what is always visible vs what appears on alert
- At least 3 alert rules with thresholds (e.g., "delivery running >30 minutes late → amber alert")
- An escalation model: who gets notified at each severity level and via what channel (screen, SMS, call)
- How the dashboard detects anomalies: simple threshold rules vs statistical anomaly detection
Submission Guidance
A dashboard that is always red is as useless as one that is always green. Design your thresholds so the normal state is visually calm.
