User Interface Design

Intuitive user interface at a product’s touchpoint

A skilfully designed and well elaborated user interface is intuitive and safe to use, it provides the user with comprehensive information and helps them to easily plan, control and monitor complex situations and processes. At defortec, we develop professionally conceived and cleanly designed user interfaces. Such control systems, also known as HMIs or Human Machine Interfaces, are the central point of contact between people and a product in today’s product landscape. This could be a medical device or a production machine; in each case, it is essential to develop an appealing and well-designed user interface that enables the intuitive operation of complex systems. Shaped by the high design quality of the user interfaces we use in our everyday lives, expectations and requirements for the interfaces of professional and technical products have risen enormously.

User Experience and User Interface Design

We have a holistic approach to UX: the products developed in collaboration with us impress not only through their product design, but also through well-structured, intuitive and skilfully designed user interfaces. The interaction between industrial design and user interface design creates a convincing user experience. In this way, new technologies become easy to understand, intuitive to use and pleasant to interact with. The user interfaces we develop professionally are a pleasure to use and provide a good sense of control and clarity.

The development of a user interface design

We always design such interfaces individually for our clients. Together with these clients, we draw up a briefing and development then begins with a detailed analysis of use cases, by a process known as shadowing. During this process the various users are closely observed in their daily interaction with the existing control system and the product’s operating procedures. The insights gathered from this, combined with our own thorough analysis of the processes to be controlled, lead to initial concepts that are presented to the client in a clear and convincing manner. In the following rapid and iterative development steps, the future control system is refined in ever greater detail using realistic click-through mock-ups. This ensures our clients to have a clear insight into the development status at every stage and that they can still influence the process at any time.

Creating an emotional connection through design

From the use case analysis through to the initial idea, and from the first mock-up to the implementation of all control functions, defortec accompanies you on the exciting journey towards creating an emotional connection with your product. By streamlining the operating logic and creating enthusiasm for the new User Interface Design (UID), we create a strong point of differentiation from your competitors.
