Operator Experience (OX) describes the overall experience of operators when working with machines, plants or technical systems. Similar to User Experience (UX) in the digital realm, OX encompasses all aspects of human-machine interaction – from the comprehensibility of the user interface and ergonomic operating concepts to efficiency and error prevention in everyday work.

OX is particularly essential in HMI design, i.e. in the design of human-machine interfaces. Good OX in HMIs brings many advantages:

• Intuitive and clear operating logic
• Quick detection of statuses and warnings
• Reduction of errors and operating mistakes
• Efficient workflows for operators
• Higher productivity
• Lower training costs
