Presentation

Conducive design of human-machine interfaces for mobile machines

Advanced assistive features and the increasing automation of production machines are about to change work profiles and operator requirements and challenge operators’ skills. Intuitive, competence-aware interfaces open a way to a more adaptive and easy-to-use operation environment that facilitates the accessibility of digital services and automated machine functions. The presentation discusses specific points in the product development of HMI, including where and how the consideration of competencies could be turned into beneficial concepts of human-machine interaction.
