Hiveon is a company that builds an operating system for crypto miners. This is a web interface that allows big mining facilities (up to 1 GW) to leverage power of thousands of ASICs and profits they collect by solving mathematical algorithms.
Historically, Hiveon did a software for GPU rigs and ASICs for enthusiasts that were mining at homes and were building small home farms. They had a plan to build an enterprise scale system to meet the needs of large dedicated facilities with thousands of ASICs mining in one place. These sites use a lot of electricity for computing power, so there was a need to have a software that monitors them and allows to react if something goes wrong.
I was invited to Hiveon as a senior product designer to develop this enterprise platform called OS Enteprise. This platform had a bunch of modules that allows to control every piece of hardware and software in one interface. This has to be complex but easy to understand, and, important, sleek UI for technicians and their managers, supervisors and executives. The intention was to build UI that can be displayed on iPad that technician could bring to the facility to make maintenance and scheduled operations, while their supervisors could review the performance of the farm on a big display in the office.
Objectives
Design and ship Hiveon OS Enteprise for selected clients to test the new approach in large-scale facility management.
Develop modules that could be added to the platform for additional cost.
Lead Hiveon’s design direction and build a scalable product where the new features could be easily implemented to meet client’ needs.
Develop a PWA app for technicians so they could work autonomously on the facility.

Vision
Hiveon OS Enterprise should be like-an-app software that tells exactly what the user wants to see. All the control elements and widgets work following by Apple’s continuity principle, where any click leads to giving more insight about the matter. If user clicks on the worker on the sitemap, the drawer will open, displaying all the information about worker’s status. Every worker could have tickets assigned on technicians, so clicking on the tickets widget will open an ASIC’s to do list. From the main dashboard user could open workers list and not miss the track of facility performance, the dashboard with large tiles scales down to smaller widgets.
The most important part of the software is the easy access to telemetry. Every hardware piece is giving valuable information about performance and metrics that could be adjusted for the client current needs.
