Streamlining UX/UI Development in a tense economic environment
How bad times can be good for HMI development.
In economically challenging times, companies are under pressure to cut costs and increase efficiency at the same time. In such situations, savings are often made in the development of user experience (UX) and user interfaces (UI). This increases the risk of poor usability, ergonomics and effectiveness of your own products - and the problem is only postponed.
On top the shortage of skilled workers is worsening the situation: qualified personnel, especially in the field of software development, is hard to find and expensive.
With HELIO, these challenges can be overcome in a targeted manner.
HELIO is an easy-to-learn HMI editor that makes it possible to create professional, intuitive and user-friendly HMIs. This offers decisive advantages:
- Reduced development costs: Since HELIO can be operated without programming knowledge, companies can significantly reduce HMI development costs. Employees with different qualifications can create and customize HMIs themselves after a short training period.
- Faster development: Thanks to the intuitive user interface and pre-built components, HMIs can be created in less time. This enables a faster response to changing requirements and quicker implementation of new functions.
- Improved usability: HELIO places great emphasis on a good UX. The HMIs created are intuitive to use and minimize the risk of operating errors. This leads to less downtime, higher productivity and lower training costs for operators.
- Flexibility and customizability: HELIO is platform-independent and web-based. This allows it to be used on different devices and operating systems and offers a high degree of flexibility when adapting to individual requirements. The “live data in editor” function makes it possible to test and validate changes directly with the system's real-time data, which significantly speeds up the development process.
- Future-proof: Thanks to the use of modern web technologies, HELIO is future-proof and can be easily adapted to new requirements and technologies.
- Nevertheless, high UX/UI quality: HELIO is developed by certified and internationally recognized UX experts and comes with professional interface design out of the box.
In difficult economic times, it is more important than ever to find efficient and cost-effective solutions. HELIO offers businesses the opportunity to create intuitive and user-friendly HMIs without the need of programming knowledge. This leads to reduced development costs, faster development times, improved user-friendliness and greater efficiency. HELIO can therefore make a valuable contribution to overcoming economic challenges and help companies to emerge stronger from crises with sustainable solutions.
