Design for HMI

TRAINING

Learn how to adapt your human-centered design skills to the unique challenges of industrial and safety-critical environments, and start designing intuitive, reliable, and safety-driven HMIs that support operators in high-risk decision-making.

HMI (Human-Machine Interface) design focuses on creating intuitive and efficient interfaces that enable operators to monitor, control, and interact with complex industrial systems. In safety-critical environments, HMI design must balance usability, clarity, and reliability to support quick decision-making, reduce human error, and ensure operational safety.

What to expect

By applying human-centered design principles, the course will get you started creating interfaces that enhance situational awareness and streamline workflows in high-risk settings. By focusing on these environments, it will allow you to bridge the gap between UX best practices and the complex needs of real-world industrial systems.

The course is highly interactive, with participants working on a real-life case in small breakout groups. Guided by experienced teachers, you will apply HMI design principles to practical scenarios. Discussions, hands-on exercises, and collaborative problem-solving will ensure you leave with a clear understanding of how to translate theory into impactful action.

Who should attend

This training course is targeted at people with good notions of human-centered design that want to focus their design efforts on industrial and safety-critical user needs.
