The principles of more inclusive, accessible design can generally benefit only the users of newer devices-although it is sometimes possible to introduce them in large-revision product releases. This reality contributes to more extreme accessibility gaps between legacy and modern solutions in the manufacturing domain.
Some factors that impact UX designers' ability to be effective in designing for inclusion in the industrial domain include historically robust hardware lifecycles, an aging, globally distributed workforce, cost and downtime aversion and implications, custom legacy solutions, a history of free accessibility, difficult-to-access users, personal protective equipment (PPE), distracting working environments, and the growing digital footprint.
