Packaging Machine Control Panel

An embedded HMI for controlling packaging and filling machines, built for operators on the production line. The interface runs on a dedicated touch panel with no operating system, flashed directly onto the hardware. It covers the full cycle of machine setup, parameter adjustment, and real-time monitoring, giving operators a single point of control without extra devices or software.

1
Native performance as a directly flashed program, not an app, making it fast and reliable.
2
High-contrast palette and large elements designed for clear visibility in production conditions.
3
Strict layout rules with a fixed grid, where elements must sit in predefined positions.
4
Scalable across machine types, supporting different equipment with the same interface foundation.

Role: UI Designer, Programmer
Duties: Design, prototype, firmware
Context: Embedded HMI, B2B product, Hardware
Team: In-house engineering team
Outcome: The manufacturer now ships machines with its own control software, replacing third-party solutions and removing vendor dependency.

Problem

The manufacturer had no control software of its own. The task was far from a standard app, since the interface had to run on a touch panel in real production conditions, not on a mobile device.
