We need an interface for the maintenance crew that lets them see equipment status at a glance, so no one misreads a warning and puts themselves in danger. If the layout is clear and every icon is in its right place, we can trust the crew to act quickly when something goes wrong. And you know what, a clean layout is like a well‑ordered shelf—no one throws a wrench in the system.

Got it, let’s make that screen the equivalent of a tool chest with no missing parts. First, each icon gets a 48×48 pixel grid, all centered, with 12px padding from the edges. That keeps the layout “tight” but not cramped. Second, color‑coding is the only way to avoid a crew staring at a green icon thinking it’s a safety hazard. Use a single‑tone palette: red for critical, orange for warning, green for normal, each with 60% saturation so it’s readable even in bright sunlight. Third, group by function: HVAC on the left, electrical on the right, each with a subtle gray divider so the eyes don’t have to chase. Finally, add a tiny tooltip that appears on tap, showing the last‑maintenance date, so the crew can see if they’re dealing with a fresh alert or a stale one. That’s the “pixel‑perfect” view that keeps people from accidentally stepping on a red flag.

Looks solid—every detail is in its right place. Just keep the tooltip short and the colors true to the palette, and the crew will move through the panel as if it were a well‑ordered tool chest.
