Software Solution for Analytical
|
The Company
METTLER TOLEDO (MT) is a global manufacturer and marketer of precision instruments for laboratory, industrial and food retailing applications. The company has a strong worldwide leadership position.
The Solution
MT hired EB as a software partner to strengthen its own software team thereby utilizing EB architecture, design and software project management expertise. MT and EB jointly created a complex software solution that integrated 250 screens in 40 different device combinations on a Windows Embedded CE platform. The solution reused parts, such as the user interface concept and basic software design of a previous project for titration devices and used EB GUIDE Studio as HMI tool.
The Challenge
MT planned a new generation of density meters and refractometers. The concept included two different devices in different variants with a wide range of peripherals. All devices had to use the same software basis, and be easy to maintain. Further the user interface had to be intuitive, familiar, state-of-the-art and had to have multi-language support.
The Benefit
MT benefitted from EBīs profound knowledge of Windows Embedded CE and their HMI tool EB GUIDE Studio. EBīs competences made it easy to utilize parts of HMI concepts that were already proven in MTīs titration devices. This helped to achieve the same touch and feel for end users and allowed to shorten project development time.
