Krones AG, an internationally operating manufacturer of filling and packaging equipment, relies on VisiWin 7 by INOSOFT as an open, flexible and powerful basis for their trendsetting “Connected HMI”. Krones’ HMI won the iF Design Award for its intuitive operator interface and user-friendly and innovative navigational concept.
For 65 years now, the iF Design Award has been a globally recognized trademark when it comes to excellent design and outstanding user experience (UX). And that’s precisely where the Krones Connected HMI proved persuasive in the communication design category for the jury of 63 international experts.
“Companies in the beverage and food industry demand easily customizable and easy-to-use HMI systems. With the new platform, we wanted to minimize complexity for the users while still allowing for the complexity of the HMI applications and the increasing wish for customization. Thanks to VisiWin, we have achieved this goal,” explains Thomas Stauber, Head of Visualisation Systems at Krones.
“VisiWin is modular, open and sustainable. Version 7.2 of the software allows to create innovative user interfaces that are ergonomic, intuitive and customizable while offering an unlimited range of functions for logic and interaction. These strengths prove particularly effective for Krones’ high-end machines,” explains Stefan Niermann, sales and marketing manager at INOSOFT. “We are delighted that an industry giant like Krones relies on our software and that we could help develop an innovative HMI platform.”
