AHFE Open AccessInvestigating Interface Layout Optimization for Enhanced Visual Search Efficiency in Industrial Manufacturing Systems
Abstract
This study examines interface layout optimization to enhance visual search efficiency and cognitive performance in industrial manufacturing systems, addressing the high cognitive demands of human-machine interfaces. By improving information visualization, interface design can significantly enhance operators' comprehension and response time, ultimately boosting production efficiency. Two experiments were conducted: Experiment A assessed six layout configurations, identifying LT and MT as the most efficient for visual search. Experiment B used eye-tracking analysis to compare MT and LT layouts, with Scheme 1 (MT layout) demonstrating superior cognitive efficiency, logical structure, and user satisfaction. These results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed design standards and highlight the need for data-driven, intelligent interface layouts in modern manufacturing. The findings suggest that advanced information visualization within HMIs fosters coordination and efficiency in industrial ecosystems, supporting innovative future developments in interface design.
Keywords: Industrial manufacturing systems, interface layout optimization, data-driven design, visual search efficiency, eye-tracking analysis
