Just the way you want it
Do you have specific requirements regarding functions, usability, or design? Our team provides customized services to help make HELIO the ideal solution for you—right up to complete system integration.
Let us show you how
HELIO IDE offers extensive customization and configuration options right out of the box. You can try out HELIO directly in your browser using the demo. The documentation contains a comprehensive overview of all available functions. A powerful SDK is available for your own extensions.
Even more specific requirements for user guidance, UI design, technical features, or interfaces can be integrated into HELIO in a targeted manner. Thanks to many years of expertise in the industrial HMI sector, the result is much more than standard software—it is a comprehensive solution from a single source.
Made by Design Experts
HELIO is developed by HMI Project in Würzburg, Germany – a design agency for human-machine interfaces that has won numerous international awards.
Our mission is to make user-centered user interface design and web technology applicable to industry, thereby enabling as many users as possible to enjoy optimal usability and positive user experiences when interacting with HMIs.
After many successful years in the service sector, we are now applying all our experience and industry expertise to the product development of HELIO, thereby setting new standards for web-based HMIs in industry.

Showreel
Since 2011, we have been designing and developing innovative human machine interfaces for industrial applications, many of which have received international awards. This strong expertise and industry knowledge is reflected in the development of HELIO.

PrivacyTechnical Services
Whether training, customised extensions or direct support during implementation - our technical services help you to reliably exploit the full potential of HELIO and thus efficiently integrate customised, future-proof solutions into your system landscape.
Training
We will guide you through the initial steps of commissioning HELIO and demonstrate how it works.
Even after the training, our experts will continue to provide support as needed, for example, for a specific project. The training takes place by appointment, either remotely via Teams or in our training rooms in Würzburg. We adapt the content flexibly to your specific requirements, whether it be technical training, Q&A, or intensive project support.
Custom Elements
Do you have special requirements —such as a specific UI element, complex visualization, new feature, or custom interface that HELIO does not currently offer? No problem.
Together with an experienced team of experts, we design, develop, and test tailor-made solutions that are precisely tailored to your specific application. Implementation is fast and targeted, based on your specific requirements.
System Integration
Our experienced application engineers actively support development with HELIO, or implement projects for our customers completely independently.
We take care of setting up the application, selecting suitable controls, and implementing an existing software template or design system. We gradually hand over the project to our customer's team and offer continuous support until the transfer of know-how is complete.
UX Services
A user-centered design process systematically analyzes the context of use and needs—from the initial idea to the tested prototype. This ensures well-founded decisions, reduces misguided developments, and creates practical products with high usability.
Analysis
During the analysis phase, we lay the foundation for a specialized and optimally user-centered operating concept.
We specifically examine the function and operation of existing systems in a real-world context. We analyze technical requirements, evaluate software quality, and conduct interviews with users to understand their actual needs. In addition, we organize workshops with the manufacturer's experts. This creates a solid foundation for well-founded design and concept decisions.
Prototyping
In the concept phase, we define the usage requirements and develop the information architecture.
With the help of wireframes and clickable prototypes, operating procedures are visualized and iteratively improved. This results in an interface that is intuitive, logically structured, and easy to learn. Users can reliably monitor processes, adjust parameters, quickly record messages, and efficiently troubleshoot problems—supported by clearly structured statistics and diagnostic data. This creates a positive user experience.
Testing
In structured usability tests, we review the operating concept with selected users.
They work on predefined tasks while we observe their behavior and gain insights into their process using the “thinking aloud” method. In addition, we conduct interviews and use standardized ISO questionnaires to systematically identify the strengths and weaknesses of the user interface. The results are evaluated and directly incorporated into the optimization of the interface—for the most intuitive and efficient user experience possible.
Design Services
The design of the HELIO interface can be completely customized, creating user interfaces that are 100% tailored to the product and company. With tailor-made interface design, HELIO turns products into perfect ambassadors for the corporate brand.
Interfacedesign
In addition to the pre-designed themes that HELIO comes with out of the box, the entire user interface can be customized to a new interface design.
If no design specifications exist yet, we will work them out together based on the design elements of your corporate design – such as colors, fonts, and icons. The result is a user interface that is not only easy to use, but also visually matches your company's CI perfectly. This customized design strengthens your brand identity and ensures a consistent user experience.
UI Components
If required, we develop unique illustrations, infographics, machine-specific controls, and other visual elements that are precisely tailored to the products and their functions.
Customized UI elements improve comprehensibility and enhance the quality of operation—particularly suitable for growing, modular systems and complex applications. These individually designed components increase efficiency, minimize operating errors, and create a consistent, intuitive user experience.
Design Systems
A customized design system consistently defines all visual and functional UI elements such as colors, typography, icons, buttons, and layouts.
It forms the basis for a consistent UI design across all products and platforms. With clearly documented guidelines and reusable components, it facilitates collaboration between design and development teams and accelerates the implementation of new features. HELIO supports the use of design tokens – ideal for rolling out a central design system in a scalable manner across the company.
