One fits all – One design for all machine types
The multi-touch-capable interface for the various pharmaceutical packaging and filling machines from Harro Höfliger is characterised by an outstanding orientation towards the inseparably intertwined factors of man, task, process and machine: Fast, individual access to all parameters, dashboards that can be personalised via widgets, and user-friendly operating and navigation structures ensure a high level of user comfort. The main menu can be moved from the left to the right side or vice versa at all times, the production screen is always visible and visualisations of very complex work processes can be captured quickly – all of this forms the backbone of an ergonomically sophisticated operating philosophy.

Across machines
The cross-machine and corporate design-compliant almost-flat design comes with a timeless high-tech appearance and discreet elegance. Quick visual grasp of the relevant areas, displays and functions is made possible by clear, flat elements with strong contrasts and differentiated colours. An almost-flat design is used for the optimal display of controls, and is implemented with slightly raised surfaces.
- Display adapted to user and context
- Adaptable for left and right-handed users
- Individually selectable dashboard widgets
- Modular representation of complex machines via a machine image
- Machine image with zoom level-dependent information depth
- Multi touch including two-hand gestures for safety-critical functions
Project work
Together with Harro Höfliger, we developed the complete UX concept as well as the visual design and specifically supported the implementation with Zenon from COPA-DATA.
