Intuitive like a smartphone app, productive like a machine

A new HMI as a driver for digital transformation in the industrial sector

Complex operation stood in the way of a clear overview

Dosing systems process a vast amount of information and system messages. Until now, their interfaces had to present this at a level of complexity far beyond what users are used to from consumer products such as smartphone apps. Achieving a clear presentation and intuitive operation despite the vast amount of information required was the central challenge.

An intuitive HMI for dosing systems with the characteristics of a smartphone app

Together with RAMPF Production Systems we developed a new, intuitively usable HMI for dosing systems. The vertical alignment of the interface allows a clear representation of the processes. The upper status area clearly stands out from the content area and provides an overview of the most important information and system messages. The HMI is a major step in the digital transformation of manufacturing companies and leads to measurable increases in productivity.

In the style definition workshop, we chose a modern and groundbreaking style for our new HMI software. The goal was to achieve a clear presentation and intuitive operation by the user despite the vast amount of information required. In the short, very effective and committed collaboration with Centigrade, we were able to develop a first release in the short time available.
