NLMK Group develops and Open Sources a Design Suite for industrial UIs

NLMK Group launched an updated Design Suite - https://ds.nlmk.com/ - for quick development of effective user interfaces in industrial IT systems and digital products. The estimated economic gain from Design Suite deployment at NLMK Group is several million dollars annually.

The Design Suite is a comprehensive kit of elements and tools that enables standardization of UI designs, ensures visual consistency in all digital products and IT systems, and saves up to 50% of development and implementation time.

The Design Suite was developed by the NLMK IT UI/UX team. Since 2021, it has been used in more than 20 corporate digital solutions, including the end-to-end MES, and digital solutions for HR services and procurement. The system is being continuously updated based on user feedback.

The beta version is available as an open source project. This means that NLMK Group is offering other companies and developers the opportunity to use and adapt the UI components and elements from the Suite for their own projects. Any designer is welcome to use the Suite or become a contributor.

NLMK's Design Suite will help industrial companies make their UI development much faster and improve their teams' user experience. NLMK Group experts estimate that the solution will enable companies to cut implementation costs of new IT systems by 60% in design, 20% in development, and 20% in IT support.

NLMK Group's Design Suite complies with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). This ensures that the interfaces are user-friendly for all, including people with visual impairments.
