The Red Dot Award is an internationally well-known badge for highquality composition and design. The “Red Dot: Best of the Best” is an award for outstanding design. 76 projects - a tiny fraction of the 6,992 contributions in 2020 - have been awarded the “Red Dot: Best of the Best”. The Red Dot Awards committee chose the best contributions in accordance with this year’s slogan “In search of good design and creativity”. Selection was on the basis of three distinct evaluation guideline categories: Originality & Creativity, Design Quality & Innovation, and Comprehensibility & Emotional Significance.

Kiefel wins renowned Red Dot Award for HMI
Kiefel receives the Red Dot Award for “Modular and smart visualized HMI for Kiefel Packaging machines” in the category Brands & Communication Design 2020. On top, the HMI (Human Machine Interface HMI) was even rewarded with the “Red Dot: Best of the Best”.
With this award, the committee recognizes the ingenuity and creativity of Kiefel and its strong team. The HMI was first presented at the K Show 2019 in cooperation with CaderaDesign GmbH, an industrial and user-interface-design specialist.
Unlike any other system, the Kiefel designed machine-visualization HMI simplifies even the most complex machine-data, offering an appealing, well-structured and user-friendly interface. The intelligent HMI - on a panel directly attached to the machine itself - displays the status of the whole system and its current processes. This includes the forming process with clear diagrams and animations which reduce the initial training time drastically. Illustrations and animations make the complex thermoforming adjustment process much more intuitive. A predefined system of colors and shapes helps with input and monitoring of machine parameters as well as troubleshooting. Results are immediately visible and verifiable. Adjusters are additionally supported by the visual representation of bottlenecks and are notifiedwhich machine parts can be optimized.
