EB (ELECTROBIT) AUTOMOTIVE HMI DEVELOPMENT

The user interface called HMI (Human-machine interface) for in-vehicle telematics systems is not only important to consumers making purchasing decisions, but also to manufactures searching for safety and reliable functionality. Car manufacturers are using the screen as a branding tool. This enhances the drivers experience and engagement with the vehi cle. It is important when thinking of HMI development to allow flexibility for brands as well as usability for the drivers safety. All in all, the cluster instrument and the infotainment screen became a hot topic for the whole automotive industry.

Long-Term Strategy For Value Add

Instead of developing an HMI that can only be used over a single product life cycle, implementing a continuous HMI strategy which is maintainable, global and manages variants are critical aspects in an overall HMI execution plan. A long term HMI strategy strengthens the brand value and reduces costs. EB makes this work for you. EB Automotive offers a complete range of HMI solutions including:

Licensing of our best-in-class HMI products One person consulting on HMI specific aspects of the development process or the software architecture Small teams porting runtime frameworks EB GUIDE GTF and STF or building a set up for efficient usability tests Large teams for developing the complete HMI including management of specification, design and translation processes as well as subcontractors for design work and translations.

You can see some examples of success using this method with our finished projects. Learn more about EB GUIDE can help with your next HMI project.
