Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Information Technology FIT
The Human-Centered Engineering & Design (HCED) department at Fraunhofer FIT focuses on the development and design of interactive products and services - always placing people at the center. We also apply our know-how in organizational measures and business processes to relevant stakeholders within the companies who work with us.
In addition to usability, our quality standards also aim for a positive user experience. We approach all application contexts holistically as well as carefully consider the activities of the involved actors and the associated technical and social framework conditions.
In the context of digital transformation projects - especially those in the service of sustainability - we place particular focus on meeting individual user needs and integrating these into the project goals to achieve increased efficiency and conserve resources.
Our department has four main focuses which complement one another in the majority of our projects. In addition to supporting both medium-sized and large companies directly in their individual project plans, we also contribute to research projects on a national and European level with our partners from industry and research.
