Overview
What this challenge is about.
Smart Inventory System for Dubai Cosmetics. Intermediate challenge in design. Designing real products under real constraints, earn a blockchain-verified cred...
The Brief
What you'll do, and what you'll demonstrate.
Design an IoT-based smart inventory system to reduce stockouts and overstock for a D2C cosmetics startup.
This is not a design exercise. It is the work a product designer does between a brief and a shipped interface. That distinction matters to every hiring manager who has seen candidates redesign Spotify's homepage and none who have worked under real product constraints.
When you finish, you will have something most graduates do not: a real-world deliverable, verified by Ewance, that you can show to a hiring manager and say "I did this. Here is the proof."
Earning criteria — what you'll demonstrate
- Apply IoT architecture principles to a real-world inventory management problem
- Evaluate and select appropriate sensors for a specific use case
- Compare and contrast IoT communication protocols (LoRaWAN, Wi-Fi, BLE)
- Design a cloud-based data pipeline for real-time analytics
- Integrate IoT data with business processes (ERP integration)
