Industrial UI / HMI for a CNC controller operating system.
The project connects the CNC controller interface, consulting on the computer enclosure, exhibition print materials, and a refreshed company logo into one industrial product story.
The project brings together the CNC controller screen, physical UCPU panel, hardware keys, and operator workflow into one industrial interface.
Mayak is the company's own UCPU / CNC controller for industrial equipment.
The UI lived inside a physical control unit with hardware keys, coordinates, program text, alarms, modes, and operator actions visible at the same time.
Screen layout, labels, controls, and hierarchy work next to hardware keys and the operator’s real routine.
The screen and the physical keyboard had to be read as one control surface.
The controller UI, physical panel, updated company logo, and printed materials for the industrial exhibition use one visual direction.
The updated company logo moves the old mark into a cleaner technical tone, and the type layer becomes more suitable for industrial equipment and printed materials.
The print work prepared the controller for an industrial exhibition.
Printed sheets and service material use the same visual direction as the interface, physical unit, and refreshed logo.
The exhibition material extended the interface work into a printed industrial format.
The HMI scenarios focus on operator work: coordinates, program text, service states, alarms, modes, and actions must stay readable on a constrained screen.
The HMI shows coordinates, program text, service states, alarms, modes, and operator actions on a limited screen.
The interface is built around functional hierarchy: button actions, labels, and machine data fit the display, remain readable, and work together with the physical keys on the enclosure.
The interface uses IBM Plex for its technical tone, clear letterforms, and stable behavior in a compact industrial UI.
System logic comes from field research, reference UCPU interfaces, CNC habits, hardware constraints, and the need to evolve the company’s own controller without breaking familiar industrial patterns.
The work started with a visit to the production site and analysis of a more advanced reference UCPU system.
The screens document CNC interface patterns, operator habits, machine states, and control logic close to the company's own controller. These materials define the basis for the new HMI: Mayak's operating system preserves familiar industrial logic without repeating it mechanically.
The constraints are concrete: a physical control unit, hardware keys, a small screen, established CNC habits, and a working environment where operators need to read machine state quickly.
The interface reduced machine logic to a screen the operator could scan: coordinates, program, mode, alarm, and action had to remain distinct on a limited display and next to physical controls. The new operating system had to keep continuity with familiar UCPU logic while making the controller clearer and more usable.
