HMI for mechanical engineering – robust and intuitive

Efficient operating concepts for complex industrial processes.

Production systems involve many parallel system states, different user roles, and high time pressure. If the user interface does not represent this complexity but merely manages it, delays and wrong decisions arise exactly where speed is crucial. We develop HMI solutions for industry and production that clearly structure complex processes and enable fast, safe decisions.

✔ Faster decisions in everyday production

✔ Fewer operation errors despite high complexity

✔ Role-based interfaces for different user groups

Challenges

When complexity slows down decision speed

Industrial processes place their own demands on the user interface:

  • Many parallel system states that must be monitored simultaneously

  • Complex operations with numerous dependencies between process steps

  • Different user roles with their own information needs

  • High time pressure, where any delay in operation incurs costs

Solution

Structured information instead of data overload

We bring order to complex production processes by preparing information according to role and situation instead of displaying all data on one interface simultaneously.

  • Structured information display that makes priorities clearly recognizable

  • Role-based interfaces that show only relevant information to each user group

  • Clear process guidance that provides orientation even in exceptional situations

  • Integration into existing control centers and system landscapes

Approach

Our approach

1. Analysis —We analyze real work processes and roles directly on-site, not just based on system documentation.

2. Concept —This results in a role-based information architecture with clear process guidance.

3. Prototype —The concept becomes tangible as an interactive prototype, including typical exceptional situations.

4. Testing —We validate with actual users from the respective roles in the production environment.

5. Implementation —The validated solution is integrated into the existing system landscape in close coordination with your team.

Georg Fischer - CONNECT Welding App

For Georg Fischer, BUSSE developed the UX/UI concept of the CONNECT Welding App for networking, monitoring, and documenting welding processes. Through a consistent human-centered design approach, user analyses, and practical insights, an intuitive application was created that clearly and efficiently supports complex industrial processes. The design was seamlessly integrated into the existing design system and specifically expanded for digital welding use cases.

Testimonial

"Evamaria Plehn and her team at Busse Design supported us in developing the HMI of an industrial sensor and actuator platform, the corresponding mobile app, and a specific analytical sensor from that product family.

What stands out about Evamaria is her deep technical understanding and her ability to engage as an equal with both our engineers and our product managers. As a result, our development team could implement the UX outcomes directly, without detours.

The entire process was systematically led and made highly efficient through regular, focused alignment sessions. I can wholeheartedly recommend Evamaria – especially for projects at the intersection of design and engineering.“
