  • High Flexibility: Adaptable design to accommodate specific customer requirements.
  • International Focus: User-friendly solutions for customers from diverse cultures and languages.
  • Efficiency in Commissioning: Support for installations and training worldwide.

Alphagate’s Contribution:

  • Development of a modular HMI system with flexible adaptation to individual machines and customer requirements.
  • Design of an intuitive user interface that complies with international standards and optimally supports the operator.
  • Support with software integration and global commissioning.

Challenges

Diversity of the product family

The machines have completely different functionalities, yet a unified operating concept had to be created that is equally intuitive for all devices.

Flexibility in project planning

The HMI had to be flexible enough to quickly and efficiently accommodate the diverse requirements and configurations of individual machines.

Customer orientation

Adaptation to specific customer requirements was a key factor, as Statec Binder follows a highly customer-oriented business model.

International orientation

Development of an HMI compatible with international languages, standards, and cultural expectations.

Ensuring ease of use for users with varying levels of technical expertise.

Worldwide commissioning

Supporting technicians with installations and training around the world, taking into account regional differences and requirements.

Future security

Development of a modular system that seamlessly supports future expansions or modifications.

 

“We wanted an HMI that is as unique as our products.”
