HMI (Human-Machine Interface)

Human-Machine Interface

Operator interface used to monitor machine status, enter commands and display alarms or process data.

Examples

  1. 01The HMI on the packaging machine shows speed, counts, alarms and the next format change in clear graphics.
  2. 02Alarms from the HMI are sent to the plant's downtime tracking system, so stop reasons do not need to be written by hand.
  3. 03Standard HMI screens across all machines help operators find faults faster when they work on a different line.
