INVESTIGATING HUMAN-MACHINE
INTERFACES’ EFFICIENCY IN INDUSTRIAL
MACHINERY AND EQUIPMENT: A KENYAN
CONTEXT
Silas M. Nzuva
CloudFuse Systems, Nairobi, Kenya
Abstract
The twenty-first century has seen a vast technological revolution characterized by the
development of cyber-physical systems, integration of things, and new and
computationally improved machines and systems. However, there have been seemingly
little strides in the development of user interfaces, specifically for industrial machines
and equipment. The aim of this study was to assess the efficiency of the human-machine
interfaces in the Kenyan context in providing a consistent and reliable working
environment for industrial machine operators. The researcher employed a convenient
purposive sampling to select 15 participants who had at least two years of hands-on
experience in machines operation, control, or instrumentation. The results of the study
are herein presented, including the recommendations to enhance workforce productivity
and efficiency.
Keywords
User interface, human-machine interface, industrial machine operation, user interface
efficiency
.
