Shopfloor UI / HMI
Interfaces built for operators, not consultants.
Our Shopfloor UI and HMI work is grounded in one principle: the person using the interface is wearing work gloves, dealing with noise, and has about two seconds to make a decision. We design for that reality - touch-first, high-contrast, mobile-ready, and tested on the factory floor.
We build operator interfaces that respect the context they are used in. That means large touch targets, minimal cognitive load, clear colour-coded status indicators, and offline capability for when the network drops - because on the shop floor, it always does eventually.
From traditional HMI panels on Ignition SCADA to progressive web apps on ruggedised tablets to AR overlays on HoloLens, we match the interface technology to the operator's environment and task.
Capabilities
Touch-Optimised UIs
Large targets, glove-friendly, high-contrast displays - designed for the reality of industrial environments.
Mobile Operator Apps
Tablet and smartphone interfaces for roaming operators - the shop floor is not a desk, and neither are our interfaces.
AR / Mixed-Reality Overlays
HoloLens / Magic Leap for maintenance and assembly - digital instructions overlaid on physical equipment.
Voice Interfaces
Hands-free control for hazardous environments - when your hands are occupied, your voice takes over.
Offline-Capable PWAs
Resilient to intermittent network connectivity - progressive web apps that keep working when the WiFi does not.
Accessibility Compliance
WCAG AA, EU accessibility directive - inclusive design that meets regulatory requirements and human needs.
Technical Stack
Common questions
What makes a shopfloor interface different from normal software UI?
The person using it is wearing work gloves, dealing with noise, and has about two seconds to make a decision. We design for that reality: large touch targets, minimal cognitive load, clear colour-coded status indicators and high contrast - tested on the factory floor.
Which interface technologies does Tavlo use?
Whatever fits the operator's environment and task: HMI panels on Ignition SCADA and Inductive Perspective, progressive web apps on ruggedised tablets, AR and mixed-reality overlays on HoloLens, and voice interfaces for hazardous, hands-free environments.
What happens to the interface when the plant WiFi drops?
It keeps working. We build offline-capable progressive web apps that are resilient to intermittent connectivity - because on the shop floor, the network always drops eventually.
Are your interfaces accessible?
Yes - we design to WCAG AA and the EU accessibility directive: inclusive interfaces that meet regulatory requirements and human needs at the same time.
How do we start a project with Tavlo?
Write to contact@tavlo.tech and describe the process or line you want to improve. We respond within two business days and typically start with a 30-minute call. There is no public price list - engagements begin with a conversation, and implementation details are shared under NDA.
Your next intelligent system starts here.
Whether you're in DACH or beyond, we're ready to deliver.
