CDP Studio HMI Designer

Maritime HMI

Maritime user interfaces have high reliability, usability, and quality requirements as they are used in vessel operation, navigation, and equipment control in critical maritime operations.

Cyber security becomes mandatory, and systems must be maintained and updated over their lifetime. Technology evolves fast and flexibly, and open systems safeguard against future risks.
