Precision in motion: A digital twin for high-performance automation

Brainstorm engineered an award-winning responsive platform and secure client portal for DesignPro, mirroring their engineering precision in a digital environment.

DesignPro operates at the razor's edge of precision engineering, serving global giants in pharma and aviation. However, their digital infrastructure lacked the functional sophistication of their physical machinery. Our objective was to align their online presence with their workshop floor—creating a seamless, high-performance digital environment that not only showcased their capabilities but actively facilitated complex project management through secure client access.

The Challenge

The existing digital footprint failed to reflect the advanced nature of their robotic automation solutions or support client collaboration.

As a partner to the world’s largest multinationals, DesignPro required more than a brochure site; they needed a functional tool. The challenge was to adhere strictly to rigorous corporate brand guidelines while introducing modern responsive behaviours. Furthermore, the lack of a centralized system for clients to track the progress of complex machine builds created communication friction that needed to be resolved through a bespoke portal solution.

The Solution

We delivered an Awwwards-recognized responsive interface that marries aesthetic rigour with functional utility.

The design philosophy was "mobile-first," ensuring that engineers and procurement managers could access critical information on any device. We translated the physical precision of their machinery into the UI, defining a blueprint for typography, components, and forms that ensured absolute consistency. The centrepiece was a secure client portal, allowing real-time tracking of project milestones, effectively bridging the gap between the Limerick facility and global partners.

The Process

Our workflow mirrored the clients own engineering standards, moving from a structured blueprint to a modular component build.

We began by auditing the corporate style guides to establish a rigid design system that would govern every pixel. Once the "digital blueprint" was agreed upon, we moved into the development of specific UI components—buttons, forms, and navigation elements—testing each for responsiveness across a multitude of devices. The portal development ran in parallel, requiring robust security testing to ensure sensitive IP protection for their multinational clients, resulting in a seamless deployment that earned an "Honourable Mention" on Awwwards.
