Factory Floor Design System // Steel. Rust. Raw Power.
SYSTEM OPERATIONALThis design system channels the raw aesthetic of industrial environments - factory floors, steel mills, and machine shops. Every element is built for function first, with beauty emerging from utility. Warning stripes, riveted panels, and oxidized surfaces create an interface that means business.
Heavy-duty components designed for durability and reliability.
Every element serves a purpose. No decoration without meaning.
Warning colors and patterns communicate instantly.
Steel grays form the foundation. Rust oranges add warmth and texture. Warning colors - yellow, red, green - provide clear communication. This is the palette of the factory floor.
Stencil fonts for headlines evoke shipping crates and military equipment. Oswald provides clean, condensed headings. Share Tech Mono delivers machine-readable precision for body text and data.
FACTORY
HEAVY MACHINERY
Used for major headlines and impactful statements. Evokes military stencils and industrial labeling.
Condensed, bold, and utilitarian. Perfect for navigation, labels, and sub-headers.

Heavy, tactile buttons that look like they belong on a control panel. Raised surfaces with deep shadows suggest physical switches and levers. Color coding follows industrial standards.
Yellow (Primary) for main actions. Gray (Secondary) for general controls. Red for destructive or emergency actions. Outline for low-priority options.
Data entry fields designed for clarity and precision. Deep inset shadows suggest recessed control panels. Yellow focus states ensure visibility in any lighting condition.
Content containers styled like equipment panels. Steel frames with rivet details. Colored variants indicate status and priority following industrial safety standards.
Default card styling with steel frame aesthetic. Use for general content containers.
Yellow header indicates caution or items requiring attention.
Red header for critical alerts, errors, or dangerous conditions.
Oxidized aesthetic for secondary content or archived items. The weathered look suggests history and reliability.

Critical communication components. Diagonal stripes echo industrial warning patterns. Clear visual hierarchy ensures messages are never missed on the factory floor.
Scheduled maintenance window: Saturday 02:00-06:00. All non-essential systems will be offline. Plan operations accordingly.
Production batch #4521 completed successfully. 2,450 units processed with 99.8% quality pass rate. Ready for shipment.
Hydraulic pressure in Bay 3 approaching upper threshold. Recommend inspection before next shift. Automated monitoring active.
Temperature sensor EQ-003-T7 failure detected. Manual override required. Do not operate equipment until sensor replaced and calibrated.
The Industrial design system is built on core principles that honor the functional beauty of manufacturing environments.
Every element exists for a reason. Ornamentation that doesn't serve function is stripped away. Like a well-designed machine, form follows function.
Industrial safety depends on instant recognition. Colors mean something. Yellow warns. Red stops. Green proceeds. This language is universal.
Industrial equipment survives harsh conditions. This design system embraces durability - heavy borders, solid foundations, weathered textures that age gracefully.
Steel looks like steel. Rust is not hidden but celebrated. The beauty of industrial design comes from authenticity, not pretense.
