HMI Design

HMI Design – Next-Generation Human-Machine Interfaces Powered by Candera

In the modern world of connected vehicles, smart devices, and advanced industrial equipment, Human-Machine Interfaces (HMI) have become a defining factor in product success. A well-designed HMI not only makes technology more accessible but also creates a seamless, engaging, and safe user experience.

To deliver these high-quality interfaces quickly and efficiently, we work with Candera, a global leader in HMI design tools and services. Their expertise in user interface (UI) development, coupled with their advanced software solutions, enables us to create stunning, responsive, and intuitive HMIs for automotive, industrial, consumer electronics, and medical applications.

Why HMI Matters

The HMI is the bridge between human users and the complex systems that power modern devices. In cars, for example, the HMI encompasses the digital instrument cluster, infotainment system, climate controls, and even advanced driver-assistance system (ADAS) displays. In industrial systems, it might be control panels, diagnostic dashboards, or remote monitoring stations.

A well-designed HMI must deliver:

• Clarity – Information presented in an intuitive, readable format.
• Responsiveness – Instant feedback to user actions.
• Safety – Minimizing distraction and ensuring compliance with industry standards.
• Scalability – Flexibility to adapt across multiple devices and screen sizes.

Candera’s Strength in HMI Development

Candera’s flagship tool, Candera CGI Studio, is a leading solution for creating embedded HMIs. It combines a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor with a powerful runtime engine, allowing designers and engineers to work together without compromise.

Key Features:

1. Rapid Prototyping – Designers can create interactive prototypes without extensive coding.
2. Cross-Platform Support – Target multiple embedded platforms and operating systems, including QNX, Linux, and Android.
3. Seamless Workflow Integration – Import assets directly from design tools like Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and Figma.
4. Advanced Rendering – Real-time 2D and 3D graphics with minimal resource usage.
5. Multi-Language Support – Easily adapt HMIs for global markets.

User-Centered Design Philosophy

The heart of great HMI design lies in understanding the user’s journey. Our approach, empowered by Candera’s technology, ensures that interfaces are not only visually appealing but also:

• Intuitive – Minimal learning curve for first-time users.
• Accessible – Designed to meet accessibility standards for all users.
• Consistent – Cohesive design language across all functions and platforms.

We conduct user testing and iterative design cycles, ensuring that every interface we deliver meets the highest usability standards.

Technical Excellence Meets Creative Vision

Candera’s state-of-the-art rendering engine enables smooth animations, real-time effects, and rich visual detail without overloading system resources. This is critical in embedded systems where performance and efficiency are just as important as aesthetics.

With support for both 2D vector graphics and 3D visualization, we can create anything from minimalist dashboards to immersive, photorealistic instrument clusters.

Future-Proofing Your Product

Technology evolves quickly, and so do user expectations. Candera’s flexible architecture ensures that HMIs can be updated, expanded, and re-skinned without a full redesign. This means you can:

• Add new features via software updates.
• Adapt to new screen resolutions and hardware platforms.
• Keep your product visually fresh and competitive.
