The UX Design Awards are hosted by International Design Center Berlin and winners were determined by a group of independent jury members with different competencies and specializations ensure a balanced evaluation of the various competition entries in the fields of user orientation and design quality. There were 50 product solutions nominated from 13 countries in Berlin during the IFA show in Berlin, Germany September 2-9, 2015 , Germany’s oldest industrial exibition that attracted more than 245,000 visitors. The award criteria is based on the user experience and it takes a comprehensive view of the interactions that occur with a particular product or service. This can include emotional, cognitive, aesthetic, ergonomic aspects and context of use, user integration, serviceability, design quality, degree of innovation.
According
to the
jury: “The software interface HMI for
Wonderware InTouch provides high clarity and fault tolerance to improve the
user experience and increase efficiency in industrial production processes. A
clear and intuitive design aims at unambiguousness and an intuitive grasp of
information. The UX Design thus helps to reduce operator fatigue as well as
failure rates and efficiency gaps”.
“This
award demonstrates Wonderware InTouch continues to deliver the best user
experience in the industry. That user experience has made InTouch the
market leader according to ARC and continue to innovate that Experience with
such capabilities as goal oriented HMI enabled
by the Situational Awareness Libraries” said John Krajewski, Director
of Product Management HMI/SCADA.
The
software Wonderware InTouch enables machine manufacturers and producing
companies to design custom-made goal oriented human machine interfaces. The
design of the interface takes into account that operators are often being
replaced and receive little training. The software enables them to keep track
of current processes (situational awareness) to ensure security and
productivity and enables user to accomplish 40% faster
troubleshooting of abnormal situations. The visual interface is easy to
