Human Machine Interface or HMI is the basis of simple, intuitive communication between man and machine. First and foremost, mobile devices for the end user are being considered, i.e. smartphones and tablets for private use or use in the office. It is only in the second instance that HMI systems are also associated with the economic environment.
HMI systems in alternative use
The use of HMI systems in industrial environments, healthcare or the public sector makes much more sense and is also on the rise. This is because you are dependent on maintenance-free and long-term operation that reduces downtimes to the bare minimum. Especially users who are entrusted with the production of products must have access to relevant product information from anywhere. In order to be able to optimize workflows flexibly and quickly.
Usability and function are in the foreground
Due to the intended use, the increasing use of HMI systems in the field of business and medicine requires a user interface that is more in line with the intended use than the usual end-user apps in terms of usability and functionality.
Priority is given to cleanly designed, easy-to-use solutions that can be quickly modified on request. This is because such solutions prevent operating errors and reduce a lack of user acceptance.
