Successful app development

From strategies and usage scenarios to the design all the way to technology and safety aspects: During all stages of app development, manufacturers can now resort to a new guideline on app development for the manufacturing industry. Being a member of the respective working group, User Interface Design GmbH (UID) contributed the company's expertise in design and implementation processes to this guideline.

Smart devices are ubiquitous in the consumer industry but they are also gaining a foothold in the working environment. "This is why users in the manufacturing industry also expect a positive user experience," explains Franz Koller, UID's Managing Director and member of the industry working group. "The great advantage of smart devices is that they can be operated from anywhere. Manufacturers can tap the full potential of this technology whenever they provide simple and consistent operation combined with a positive user experience."
