  text: "The trend of increasing technological complexity of machines mainly correlates
    with the integration of additional functions in machines. Increasing functionality
    \ of  the  machines  leads  to  an  increased  number  of  control  \r\nelements,
    which limits the clarity of the machine operation and leads to higher cognitive
    demands in the machine operation. Due to the growing functional range of production
    machines the demand of usability  for  the  operating  systems  continues  to
    \ grow.  The  selection  and design  of  icons  for  the  identification of controls
    \ contributes  significantly  to usability, especially for intuitive operation
    of production machines.  \r\nThe  aim  of  this  study  is  to  investigate  the
    \ intuitive  usability  of  production machines,  to  consider  its  use  of  graphical
    \ elements  (icons)  and  to  derive recommendations  for  a  demand-oriented
    \ selection  and  design  of  icons.  To achieve  this  goal,  laboratory  studies
    at  five  modern  production  machines (laser  sintering  machine,  CNC  universal
    \ lathe,  plastic  injection  molding machine,  laser  processing  machine,  woodworking
    \ machine)  -  each  with different operating concept - were performed. The  results
    \ of  the  study  show  that  the  used  symbols  in  the  examined machines  are
    \ only  limited  self-explanatory  and  intuitive,  and  thus  have significant
    deficits for easy and intuitive operation. Especially the combination of screens
    and electronic keys or switches was often criticized and leads to uncertainty
    in the operation. As a result, recommendations for the design of icons on production
    machines are given. "
