What are the most effective design patterns and templates for HMIs?

由人工智能和领英社区提供技术支持

Human-machine interfaces (HMIs) are the systems that allow users to interact with machines, devices, or software. They can range from simple buttons and displays to complex touchscreens and voice assistants. Designing effective HMIs requires applying some principles and patterns that can enhance the usability, functionality, and aesthetics of the interface. In this article, you will learn about some of the most effective design patterns and templates for HMIs and how to use them in your software design projects.

1 Design Principles

Before diving into specific design patterns and templates, it is important to understand some general design principles that can guide your HMI design process. These principles are based on human factors and ergonomics that affect how users perceive, process, and interact with information. For instance, keep the design simple by using clear and consistent elements, avoid unnecessary complexity and clutter, and provide feedback and guidance to the user. Additionally, it is important to make the most important and relevant information and functions visible and accessible, while hiding or minimizing the less important ones. Furthermore, use elements that suggest how they can be used such as buttons, sliders, or icons, matching them with the expected actions and outcomes. Additionally, ensure consistency across the interface by using the same elements, colors, fonts, and layouts throughout. Finally, understand the needs, goals, preferences, and expectations of the user when designing the interface; this should be done with user testing and feedback.

Como arquitecto de soluciones, propongo integrar también la metodología Design Thinking en nuestras reuniones. Combinar el uso de cartas con atributos de calidad y aplicar los principios de Design Thinking ofrece un enfoque holístico para entender las necesidades del negocio. Design Thinking fomenta la empatía y la colaboración, permitiendo una comprensión más profunda de los usuarios y stakeholders. Al incorporar esta metodología, transformamos nuestras reuniones en sesiones más centradas en el usuario, estimulando la creatividad y generando soluciones arquitectónicas más alineadas con las expectativas del negocio. Este enfoque integral potencia la toma de decisiones estratégicas y la generación de soluciones innovadoras.

2 Design Patterns

Design patterns are reusable solutions to common problems or challenges in software design, providing a general framework that can be adapted and customized to different contexts and scenarios. Model-View-Controller (MVC) is one of the most effective design patterns for HMIs, separating the data (model), the logic (controller), and the presentation (view) of the interface for a modular and flexible design that can be easily maintained and updated. The Observer pattern allows for a one-to-many relationship between an object (subject) and its observers, notifying them of any changes in the state or behavior of the subject. The State pattern allows for an object to change its behavior depending on its internal state, influenced by external events or conditions. And the Command pattern encapsulates a request or action as an object (command), which can be executed, stored, or undone by another object (invoker). All of these design patterns can be useful for creating dynamic, responsive interfaces that reflect user actions or inputs, as well as adapt to different modes, contexts, or situations with undo/redo functionality, macros, or scripting.

Here are some design patterns for HMIs: Model-View-Controller (MVC): Separates the data (model) and the logic (controller) Hover controls: Reveals additional information or functionality when users hover their cursor over a specific element Adapter: A structural design pattern that allows objects with incompatible interfaces to collaborate

Como arquitecto, destaco la importancia de aplicar patrones de dise?o en el desarrollo de software. Ofrecen soluciones reutilizables, mejorando adaptabilidad y mantenibilidad del código. Explorar patrones contemporáneos como Observer, es esencial para gestionar eventos sin acoplamiento directo. En entornos modernos, enfocarse en patrones orientados a eventos, como Publish-Subscribe, potencia la arquitectura de microservicios, mejorando escalabilidad y flexibilidad. La implementación de estos patrones optimiza la calidad del software, proporcionando soluciones probadas y adaptativas, facilitando el mantenimiento a largo plazo en un contexto dinámico y escalable.

3 Design Templates

Design templates are pre-defined layouts or structures that can be utilized as a starting point or reference for creating an interface. They can help to save time, ensure consistency, and follow best practices. Examples of effective design templates for HMIs include dashboards, wizards, menus, and forms. Dashboards can be useful for monitoring or controlling complex systems or processes. Wizards can help guide users through a series of steps or tasks. Menus can organize the functions and options of the system into a hierarchical or logical structure. Lastly, forms can collect user data or information. While these are some of the most effective design patterns and templates for HMIs, they are not the only ones. It is important to consider the type, purpose, and context of your interface when determining which template to use. Additionally, following design principles and user needs is essential, as well as testing and iterating your design until you achieve the best results.

The HMI Template Suite is a design system that helps create practical and modern HMI designs. It's based on a fully configured Operator Panel that includes basic navigation and operating functions. The HMI Template Suite supports efficient and high-quality HMI design for machine operation in an industrial environment. Here are some examples of HMI design: ?Area overview screens for each manufacturing zone. ?A control scheme that allows the user to set high-level parameters for each production area.

An HMI Design requires the engineer to consider many aspects of hardware and software. The goal is to deliver an experience that is intuitive, efficient and system specific. When choosing an HMI terminal, it's important to consider the requirements of the protocols, the features of the hardware, and system parameters. When creating HMI screens, the user must consider the navigation layout and the screen layout before designing the system. The navigation will dictate how the user moves between the various screens while the screen design will dictate how efficient the usage will be.

Desde mi experiencia, subrayo la importancia de considerar aspectos clave en el dise?o de HMI. Accesibilidad: Creando sistemas usables por diversas capacidades, incorporando lectores de pantalla y adaptabilidad para promover la inclusión. Adaptabilidad Móviles: Dise?ar interfaces eficientes en dispositivos móviles, asegurando una experiencia sin problemas en diversas plataformas. Personalización de la Interfaz: Impulsa la satisfacción, permitiendo ajustes según preferencias, brindando control y mejorando la satisfacción. Ciclos de Vida del Producto: Evaluando cómo evolucionará la interfaz con el tiempo, garantizando que el dise?o de HMI sea perdurable y adaptable a cambios.
