These goals are important in Interelectronix's product design.
Intelligent operating concepts
The user interface (UI) is the most critical communication interface for operating a device. An intuitive and appealing UI leads users to perceive a device as technically high-quality. Conversely, a complex and error-prone UI makes a device seem inferior. Overloaded controls or slow response times further detract from the device’s quality. Users often associate UI ergonomics with technical excellence, making UI and usability vital success factors. Surprisingly, many companies overlook this aspect. Interelectronix specializes in crafting modern, intuitive UIs, driving the long-term success of touch systems.
Individual operating concepts
Operating concepts are dependent on the touch technology used, the requirements for operation, the sequence of inputs to be made, the input speed, the reaction time and susceptibility to errors of a touch system, as well as the operating and environmental conditions on site. An intelligent operating concept is not only based on a visually well-designed user interface, but also on numerous criteria that determine whether a user interface is perceived as ergonomically pleasant and intuitive. Interelectronix achieves this by formulating requirements through a requirements analysis and a functional specification.
