Hypertrain.ai today announced the launch of Optic UX, a completely redesigned user interface for its sdsLite and sdsPlus platforms. The release builds on the positive market adoption of sdsLite, which has become the best value in SDS management for a growing global customer base, offering top-tier 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 around a single goal: making crucial safety information instantly findable, even under pressure.
"Safety data isn't something people read for fun. It's something they need in a hurry, often in less than ideal conditions," said Eric Morris, CEO of Hypertrain.ai. "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 engineered specifically for the demands of industrial environments, where clarity and speed can deliver a meaningful difference. It prioritizes 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 key SDS information, including:
* First Aid Measures
* Accidental Release Procedures
* Handling and Storage Guidelines
* Personal Protection Requirements
By bringing commonly needed information closer to the surface, Optic UX helps employees, contractors, and other users get to relevant chemical safety information with less friction.
The development of Optic UX 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 actually access safety information in real-world conditions, including environments where time, attention, and connectivity may be limited. The result is an interface designed less around how software is traditionally organized and more around how people need to use safety information in the real world.
Optic UX rolls out automatically for new sdsLite and sdsPlus customers. Existing customers can upgrade at no cost by contacting their Customer Success Representative and have their update performed overnight.
