HMI for mechanical engineering – robust and intuitive
Control concepts for complex systems that really work in everyday factory life.
Machines used in industrial operations are operated by very different users - from experienced skilled workers to new temporary workers, often under time pressure and in multiple shifts. An interface that only convinces in the showroom quickly fails in practice. We develop HMI solutions for mechanical engineering that are robust, clearly understandable, and reliably operable even under real factory conditions.
✔ Robust control concepts for everyday factory life
✔ Understandable for different user groups
✔ Fewer operating errors under time pressure

When machine operation bypasses practice
Systems in mechanical engineering are technically complex - and are still operated by very different people. Typical challenges:
Complex systems with many parameters, modes, and states
High time pressure in production and maintenance, which favors errors
Different user groups - from professionals to untrained temporary workers
Operation partly with gloves, in poor lighting conditions or noise
Solution
Control concepts that work under real conditions
We design interfaces not for the ideal case in the office, but for the actual situation at the machine - including the limitations that everyday factory life brings with it.
Robust, clearly structured control logic instead of overloaded menus
Optimized for real usage conditions - even with gloves or in changing light
Safety-relevant steps clearly highlighted and secured against misuse
A control logic that safely guides both professionals and new employees through the process
Procedure
This is how we proceed
1. Analysis —We consider the machine in its real usage context: user groups, environment, typical sources of error.
2. Concept —This results in a robust control logic with a clear structure and secured critical steps.
3. Prototype —The concept becomes tangible as a prototype and can be tested before technical implementation.
4. Testing —We validate with real users from production and maintenance, not just in the office.
5. Implementation —The validated solution is integrated into the machine control together with your development team.
