User interface for the production of chocolate, confectionery and baked goods Aasted Smart Control / Aasted
Aasted Smart Control offers a uniform operating concept for a wide range of applications specialising in tempering, extruding, depositing, enrobing, baking and cooling in complete processing lines as well as individual machines in the chocolate, bakery and confectionery industries. The new Human Machine Interface provides a unified operating concept for the different machine types. The highly flexible interface is optimised for numerous monitor sizes and touch devices. It is designed for both web technology and standard industrial hardware and software with limited capabilities.
Challenge and Use
Aasted ApS is a world-leading manufacturer of production solutions for the chocolate, bakery, and confectionery industries. Their portfolio includes a wide range of machines for tempering, extruding, depositing, enrobing, baking, and cooling – either standalone or integrated as a complete processing line. The challenge was to consolidate and unify this diversity of applications into a comprehensive operating concept and screen design.
Flexibility in Every Dimension
Using user-centered design methods and extensive usage analyses, we developed a highly flexible interface optimized for numerous monitor sizes and touch devices. The project was designed for the use of web technology, while also considering adaptations for standard industrial hardware and software with limited capabilities.
Optimized Usability
Aasted Smart Control features user role- and task-based functions. This allows dashboards and machine pages to remain streamlined and clear, ensuring continuous monitoring and control of all components in the production process. Context-sensitive online help, FAQs, and workflows support the user in handling everyday tasks. Complex machine movements can now be executed easily and intuitively thanks to the excellent usability. Additional features such as a unified notification system and detailed recipe management also contribute to continuous and error-free production.
Versatile illustration library
The highlight of the new software generation is the extensive and modular illustration library. From small auxiliary devices to individual machines and even (complex) combined lines, the configuration possibilities are limitless. The simple and clear illustration style leaves plenty of room for additional integrations, such as interactive control elements or the graphical highlighting of alarms. An individual icon for each machine component completes the graphical system.
