  • The client

    [Undisclosed Client, link], one of the world’s largest companies dedicated to industrial automation and information, makes its customers more productive and the world more sustainable. Headquartered in [undisclosed city], [Client] employs about 21,000 people serving customers in more than 80 countries.


    The work

    The software branch of [Client], [Branch Name], needed front-end graphics developed for the overhaul of its automation and control software. This included the design of a cohesive and universal graphical user interface (GUI) with 10+ GUI themes.


    The challenge 

    Based on a core set of elements and functions, each GUI theme had to maintain [Client's] high standards for user interaction, while at the same time offering a distinct graphical appearance. Standards regarding alarm and alert colors, contrast between device and control states, and touch-capabilities were all integral during theme development. All layers of each interface theme had to be color changeable.

    The result, 10 GUI themes ranging from bare-bones to Tron-inspired, HTML5 to classic analog.
