For 65 years, the iF Design Award has been a globally recognised
trademark when it comes to excellent design and outstanding user
experience. And that’s precisely why the Krones Connected HMI
stood out in this year’s communication design category.
The HMI – the human-machine
interface – is the link between the
human operator and the machine,
and ensures that both sides can
communicate with each other in fractions
of a second without any problems. Its
housing has been specially tailored to the
requirements encountered in the beverage
industry, thanks to a combination of stainless
steel and glass. For the user, the HMI
is gaining even more importance as the
central point of access to the line’s control
system, especially while automation and
digitalisation are being progressed. An innovative
navigational structure renders operator
control intuitive, and creates an option
for customising the screen’s contents
by setting up dashboards to suit a client’s
own particular needs. The large multi-touch
display ensures easy-read user-friendly
operator control. “What looks modern
also injects a high degree of digitalisation
into the line as a whole: because thanks
to open, standardised data interfaces, the
HMI links up with higher-order IT systems
like MES or Share2Act,” Krones says. The
iF Design Award is a coveted accolade
for design achievements in all disciplines:
product, packaging, communication and
service design/UX, architecture and interior
decorating, and professional concept. The
Krones HMI proved to be persuasive for
the jury of 63 international experts in the
communication design category, thanks
to its intuitive, modern operator interface,
its clear user prompting and its innovative
navigational concept.
