Uteco’s challenge
Making complexity intuitive, for every user
UTECO’s ambition went far beyond aesthetics. The challenge was to rethink how people — from operators to service technicians to plant managers — interact with complex industrial systems on a daily basis.
UTECO faced a bold ambition:
- Rethink how operators, service teams, managers, and other user roles interact with our machines.
- Harmonize a fragmented experience across generations of PLCs and legacy logic.
- Ensure simplicity, scalability, and usability, without sacrificing industrial robustness
- Increasing expectations around usability, transparency, and remote access
- The strategic desire to make the HMI a central element of product identity and customer satisfaction, making the HMI a core part of the product, not anymore only an accessory.
X Platform Results
