New chemical safety interface optimised for industrial settings

Hypertrain.ai is launching Optic UX, a redesigned user interface for its sdsLite and sdsPlus platforms. The release expands on the market adoption of sdsLite, which has become the best value in SDS management for a growing global customer base, providing reliability and accuracy at a fraction of the cost of legacy systems

Developed from hundreds of hours of direct user research with workers on plant floors and in warehouses, Optic UX was built to make crucial safety information instantly findable, even under pressure.

Eric Morris, CEO of Hypertrain.ai, said, “Safety data isn’t something people read for fun. It’s something they need in a hurry, often in less than ideal conditions. We designed Optic UX around industrial realities. Instead of making workers navigate complex folder structures to find the information they need, we designed the experience around getting them to the right information as quickly as possible.”

Optic UX was designed for the demands of industrial environments, where clarity and speed can deliver a meaningful difference. It prioritises fast load times, high readability, and ease of use so teams can find what they need without hunting through menus or unnecessary training.

Optic UX provides quick access to SDS information, including:

  • First aid measures
  • Accidental release procedures
  • Handling and storage guidelines
  • Personal and storage guidelines

Optic UX enables employees, contractors, and other users to get to relevant chemical safety information with less friction by bringing commonly needed information closer to the surface.

Optic UK’s development was informed by human and automated observation involving people who work with chemicals and safety information in real industrial environments. The research focused on how workers access safety information in real-world conditions, including environments where time, attention, and connectivity may be limited. The result is an interface designed around how people need to use safety information in the real world.

Optic UX automatically rolls out for new sdsLite and sdsPlus customers. Existing customers can upgrade at no cost by contacting their customer service representative, and the update can be performed overnight.
