Simplifying the Complex: The Role of UI/UX in Industrial Automation

Integrating complex technologies with robots, autonomous machines, artificial intelligence, and other technologies to perform various procedures in industrial automation processes yields efficiencies and cost savings. Nonetheless, oversight by human operators is required.

These are usually not programmers or computer scientists but personnel familiar with the equipment and intended outcomes. These individuals who may have once performed these duties or trained others to do so now find themselves in environments inhabited by machine laborers that do not require breaks.

With the march towards appification in industrial automation, the need for user-friendly, intuitive tools facilitating the efficient and safe completion of tasks grows in importance. UI/UX plays a pivotal role in reaching these goals.
