“…The concept of Industry 4.0 involves the advent of cyber-physical systems into production, the merger of automated manufacturing, exchange between data and manufacturing technologies into a single selfregulating system with minimal human involvement in the production process [1,2]. However, many production processes, such as high-speed machining [3,4], laser cutting and welding [5,6], additive manufacturing [7][8][9] are carried out with human involvement, which requires the improvement of human-machine interfaces [10][11][12].…”

Taking into account the development trends of Industry 4.0, the task of improving human-machine interfaces is becoming increasingly important. The development of user-friendly interfaces for interaction between the operator and the equipment is one of the most difficult tasks in the creation of specialized technological systems. The operator panel is a specialized inputoutput device designed to implement the human-machine interface in a technological system with CNC. The functional elements of the operator panel are controls and indicators. In this paper, an information model of the operator panel elements is proposed. The model combines a geometric, logical, and functional description. The possibility of various complexity and structure functional block formation is shown. Software for the interactive design of the operator panel has been created. It includes solving the problems of panel layout and logical control functions, debugging operating modes, working out the convenience of controlling CNC equipment in panel emulation mode, and automating the generation of output reports. In the software applied the approaches used to create "digital twins". This allows to implement the offline debugging mode of the operator panel project and the emulation mode of the operator panel for debugging interaction with the control system without manufacturing the operator panel or its prototype. The possibility of forming a visualization of the operator panels varying complexity and examples of manufactured panels for different types of equipment are shown.

In parts machining, process planning is typically conducted by skillful operators. The quality of machining is highly dependent on process planning, which determines the operation parameters, such as the operation sequence and cutting tool. To achieve high-quality machining without depending on the skill level of the operators, standardization of process planning is desired. Therefore, it is necessary to extract and generalize skills related to process planning. Furthermore, eye tracking technology is expected to visualize unconscious human behavior. In this study, eye tracking technology is adopted to detect the movement of the operator’s eyes and gather gaze data when understanding mechanical drawings. Gaze data are analyzed using a heat map and bubble chart to identify differences in eye movement according to skill level. The analyzed heat maps indicate that the gazes of the skillful operator are gathered because the operator focuses on the area that is strongly related to the quality of machining. The analyzed bubble charts also indicate that the skillful operator considers the machining process by checking annotations, then understands the shape, and finally verifies the numerical values of the annotations. From the results of interviews performed based on the analysis, the individual skill could be effectively extracted in detail, particularly the skill regarding the operation sequence. Furthermore, the acquired skills are incorporated into a computer-aided process planning system developed in a previous study. The operation sequence is modified to reflect the acquired skills. Machining experiments confirmed the effectiveness of adopting operators’ skills in process planning.
