Custom solutions which work and inspire.
We offer bespoke services in the areas of strategic consultancy, user experience (UX), user interface design (UI) and software development using web technologies. Our clients benefit from our many years of experience in an industrial context, our forward-looking planning and our comprehensive understanding of service. Thanks to our in-house product development, HELIO, we also have a thorough understanding of the technical processes involved in HMI development. This results in interdisciplinary expertise from a single source that is unique in the market.
Our holistic approach is based on a consistent user centricity and ranges from evaluating the initial situation, through optimising the user experience and the visual design of the user interface, to implementation using web technology.
All services can also be booked individually and can be flexibly integrated into existing processes – or delivered as a complete package including project management. We generally design interfaces to be technology-agnostic, whilst specifically taking into account the technical constraints of the respective development environments.
For each project, we put together bespoke teams that optimally cover all the necessary skills – ensuring cost-effective implementation and a smooth project workflow.
User Centricity
Our usability process, based on ISO 9241-210, is led by Fraunhofer-certified usability engineers. We focus on the needs, abilities and goals of the users. The best way to start is by analysing the context of use and deriving specific user requirements. On this basis, we design functional prototypes which are tested with users at an early stage. This iterative process ensures that HMIs not only function technically, but are also understandable, efficient and intuitive to use – even under stress or time pressure.
A user-centred approach reduces training requirements, lowers error rates and boosts not only production but also user acceptance. Particularly in industrial environments with diverse user groups and high demands on reliability, good usability becomes a competitive advantage. Our methodological approach combines structure with empathy. This results in genuine usability – delivering added value for both people and businesses.
Perfect Customer Experience
With experience, foresight and genuine curiosity, we support our clients throughout the entire project lifecycle. We ask the right questions, think ahead and provide targeted input – to maximise innovative potential. In a collaborative atmosphere and with genuine team spirit, we not only achieve outstanding results but often forge long-standing partnerships – and even friendships. For special projects, we are happy to support our clients right through to the awards ceremony – and celebrate their success together.
“With HMI Project, it was more than just a project from the very beginning. They were fully committed and turned an idea into something truly special. It was just a perfect fit – both professionally and personally.”
Ralf Hetzel, Project Manager GE Additive
How much does design cost?
UX/UI design is a user-centred, iterative process that plays a key role in minimising risk in development projects. The costs involved depend heavily on the specific context of each project – for example, on the quality of the requirements, the depth of subject-matter familiarisation, the number of possible iterations, and the availability of user and expert feedback.
Even short projects can create significant added value through the targeted use of appropriate methods. For more complex projects or strategic objectives, longer durations and more feedback loops may be advisable.
It is crucial that the framework conditions, objectives and expectations are agreed upon in advance. The level of detail and cost structure can be flexibly adapted – but what matters most of all is experience, technical expertise and a shared vision as a team. After all, every project is different – and good UX is created through dialogue, not with a calculator.
A project evaluation carried out during the initial consultation phase is the best way to arrive at a robust budget estimate. On this basis, the project strategy, time frame and budget can be determined precisely and without ambiguity.
