iFactors hold the end user at the heart of their engineering design.
Through creating interfaces and analytics that focus on human factors and usability, we align businesses for successful digital transformation.
iFactors use industry leading engineering that can elevate operations beyond outdated or basic industrial guidelines, by delivering tailored design concepts that are proven to increase user performance, enhance operations and reduce deferrals without the expense of major hardware installation.
As humans, our capabilities are limited, and we cannot compute at scale.
Outdated Human Machine Interface (HMI) designs do not always assist in lowering cognitive load, and this often leads to stress, indecision and "operator/pilot error".
We can reverse the deficiency in design to reduce the chance of indecision.
We must not forget that the HMI is the main tool used in most 24;7 operations, so it is vital that design is fit for purpose.
We have proven that simple change can significantly increase user performance and release more insights into your real-time data.
Over the last 2 decades fantastic results have been achieved with a disciplined approach to engineered HMI design.
The methods have been proven in academic studies to outperform legacy HMI designs that are currently recommended in industry guidelines as good practice. Deviating from these legacy HMIs is regularly met with bias and resistance to change.
At iFactors we challenge this bias and don't accept the term "operator error" - we believe user indecision is due to deficiencies in legacy HMI engineering design as a result of bias.
By understanding the basic limitations of humans, we can engineer designs that reduce the potential for indecision and incidents.
In many projects, the human machine interface (HMI) is always designed with a disciplined approach, and this can place your operators at a major disadvantage or even risk .
We have unique skills and techniques that can assist your projects in measuring the usability and human impact of your HMI.
We can provide statistical analysis of your dashboards and provide clear recommendations for enhancements that will support your HMI users in being able to see more information and respond more effectively.
At iFactors we aim to engineer HMIs for the 21st Century.
