Another double success at the Red Dot Design Award
We are once again doubly successful: In the Red Dot Award: Brands & Communication Design 2020, we have succeeded for the third time in a row in convincing the international jury with the high design quality of two projects. We can thus count ourself among the winners of the most renowned design competition worldwide.
For the projects ›Easy Operation‹ of our customer Brückner Maschinenbau and ›LMS Life‹ of our customer Schneider Electric, the jurors awarded the coveted Red Dot twice. In 2020, 6,992 creative projects and brands from 50 nations were registered for the competition. Following the motto ›In search of good design and creativity‹, the 24 international jurors evaluated the submissions online this year and examined each work and brand professionally, individually and comprehensively. In doing so, they placed particular emphasis on the form, the idea and the effect. Only those projects that convinced the experts with their high design quality and creative performance were finally awarded a prize.

Wir haben uns im letzen Jahr einen 3D Drucker angeschafft. Eigentlich vor allem zu Schulungszwecken, damit wir uns besser in die Aufgabenstellungen unserer Projekte aus dem Additive-Bereich einarbeiten können. Schnell hat der Drucker neue Freunde gefunden und es wurden inzwischen zahlreiche private Projekte darauf realisiert.
Aktuell können wir den Drucker richtig sinnvoll einsetzen. Durch private Kontakte in den Pflegebereich und zur Intensivstation einer Uniklinik haben wir erfahren, dass nach wie vor Schutzmasken und auch Visiere bei der Behandlung von Corona Patienten Mangelware sind. Auf Basis eines MakerProjekts drucken wir inzwischen rund um die Uhr ›Face Shield RC3‹ und konnten bisher schon 14 Halterungen spenden, die man zusammen mit einer handelsüblichen Overheadfolie als provisorischen Schutzschild einsetzen kann.
Wer auch einen 3D Drucker ungenutzt zu Hause stehen hat kann gerne mitmachen. Hier finden sich weitere Infos zum Prototyp Prusa Face Shield

HMI Project at the SPS in Nürnberg
From 26 to 28 November 2019, the SPS in Nuremberg was the pilgrimage site of the automation industry. HMI Project was again an exhibitor and in addition to the latest award-winning interface projects presented its own product development for the first time: Helio - a 100% web-based HMI management system for creating industrial user interfaces. The Helio Editor works with a modular kit that automatically follows usability and design rules. The integrated UX intelligence generates fully responsive HMIs without the need for programming knowledge on the customer side.
Numerous existing customers and interested parties visited us at the joint booth of Bayern Innovativ and experienced with Helio a completely new type of HMI configuration. The response was very positive. All visitors showed great interest and in numerous exciting discussions we received valuable feedback for the further development of the product.

Helio HMI Management System
Helio in the latest Study by Fraunhofer
Selecting a suitable development tool presents decision makers in industrial companies with a variety of questions. The new study by the Fraunhofer Institute ›Overview of HMI Tools of today and tomorrow‹ shows the current tool landscape and discusses what the future might look like.
13 HMI tool manufacturers were available for this study. Although our ›Helio‹ HMI Management System is currently still in development, it was already able to impress with its completely new concept and ease of use.
Currently, HMIs are typically built manually on a screen by screen basis. Shapes and objects are put together on a drawing area the size of the later panel and the logic behind them is programmed. Since each function element is created individually, the design process is complex and the result is often inconsistent. For a panel of a different size, the entire HMI must be readjusted.
›Helio‹ is going to change this.
The ›Helio‹ Editor works with page templates and grid layouts that are easily filled and configured by the user with functional widgets and controls. Programming skills are not required. The automated behavioral logic and the vectorization of all visual elements enables true automatic adaptation of the HMI to all presentation modes.
A revolution in HMI configuration.
First presented at the SPS in Nuremberg from 26.11. until 28.11.2019

Talk at the World Usability Day 2019 in Würzburgs Felix Fechenbach Haus
Every second Thursday in November, the World Usability Day (WUD) illuminates the various aspects of usability and user experience in worldwide events. This year's theme ›Designing for the future we want‹ was inspired by the United Nation’s (UN) sustainable development goals. In Würzburg too, leading experts from business and science will be part of a half-day event with a variety of user-oriented design themes.
Under the title ›Usability and Web Technology‹ in Industry, Christian Rudolph (CEO of HMI Project) used a practical example from the packaging industry and showed how usability engineering, UX/UI design and web-based frontend development is used to create innovative and configurable software solutions for special machine construction. The lecture provided insights into the process and the methods used to create a multi-award winning user interface.
Presentation at the Industrial Usability Day 2019 in Würzburgs Vogel Convention Center
On November 5th, the Industrial Usability Day took place in Würzburg. The event was entirely dedicated to the human-machine-interface and was addressed to anyone who optimizes the operating and safety process of machines and plants. Among others, the researchers from Fraunhofer IAO presented the results of the new ›Fraunhofer HMI Study 2019‹.
Markus Buberl, CEO of HMI Project, discussed the efficient configuration of HMIs in a presentation, based on a reference project for the packaging manufacturer Rovema, and explained which functions are must-haves for state-of-the-art industrial HMI tools.
Speaker: Markus Buberl
Topic: Web-based editorial system – HMI configuration of industrial machines
