Understanding Human Machine Interface (HMI)
Human Machine Interface (HMI) software is a crucial tool that operators and line supervisors use to manage industrial and manufacturing processes efficiently in a plant or factory. HMIs serve as dashboards or screens that help in translating complex data into useful information for operators and managers. These interfaces provide real-time information about various variables such as tank levels, pressure measurements, motor status, and more, in a visually intuitive manner.
Challenges with Traditional HMIs
While HMIs are essential for smooth operations, traditional HMIs have their limitations. They can often overwhelm operators with excessive information, making their jobs stressful and demanding. Additionally, these older interfaces may struggle to keep up with evolving technologies or scale with business growth, leading to potential obsolescence and increased costs.
