Connected Products & HMI
Designing user experiences for products where physical interfaces, embedded software and digital systems have to work together.
Designing for connected products
In this context, interface decisions extend beyond the interface itself. Design choices are shaped by physical controls, embedded logic, connectivity constraints and real-world usage, alongside engineering, production, service and long-term maintenance requirements.
A system-level perspective
Design decisions in connected products often affect more than a single interface. A system-level view helps keep interfaces, services and touchpoints consistent across the broader product ecosystem.
A clear starting point
When working on connected products, the first step is often a focused assessment — to understand the product, align perspectives and decide what really matters before moving forward.
Your product may span across more than one area
Connected products and digital systems are rarely confined to a single domain. Physical interfaces, software, services and platforms often overlap — which means your context may extend across more than one of the areas below.
Smart appliances & professional equipment
Designing usable interfaces for connected appliances and professional tools used in real-world conditions.
Companion apps & dashboards
Apps and dashboards extending product interaction beyond the physical device.
B2B platforms & SaaS
Complex platforms designed to support multi-role workflows and scalable systems.
Not sure where to start?
A short conversation is often enough to understand which areas are most relevant for your product, and how they connect across physical and digital touchpoints.
