Industrial HMI

• The purpose of HMI’s is to act as a portal for information


exchange.

• At this portal, machine data is collected, structured, ranked


according to importance to present it to humans.

• This helps humans perceive, examine, understand, and take


action on the available data.

• It has to be designed by those who have a fundamental


understanding of how the entire system works and also by
someone who has knowledge about how each discrete
component and sensor works together to create this system.
• HMI converts raw and disconnected data into useful and
actionable information. In Industrial scenario’s, HMI is the
dashboard used by the operators and line supervisors to
coordinate & control the industrial & manufacturing
processes in any modern-day plant.

• HMI’s display and indicate the status of complex process


variables by integrating the electronic mechanisms to enable
the monitoring the automation systems.
• HMI’s interpret data from industrial control systems into
visual representations of the systems that can be understood
by humans.

• Visual process graphics give meaning and context to a motor


and valve status, tank levels and other process factors.

• HMIs give operational understanding of the process and


enables the control & optimization of the production and
process.

• With the use of the HMI, an operator can see the visual
representation of the systems and turn switches &/or pumps
on/off based on data-driven decisions.

• HMI & Internet of Things The rise of Industry 4.0 and the IoT has
made things even easier, as we can turn our smartphones into a
form of mobile HMI.

• Technology such as smart-watches has enabled wearability of HMI’s


and their ease of use increasing accessibility.

• As IoT grows, the way we interact with devices will change—causing


a modernization of the interfaces that control them.

• IoT will create demand for a variety of system & device integration
depending on the application, but the display requirement will need
some sort of touch or gesture functionality that makes the HMI much
more user-friendly.
• Users are currently very accustomed to Touch-type functions in HMI.

• Think about how many times you utilize two-finger operations on your
smartphone or tablet.

• The touch functionality is expected on any machine interface as consumer


electronics experiences eventually shape industrial electronics expectations.

• These days HMI can enable up to five concurrent touches at one time for
numerous gestures such as dynamic scrolling, zooming, and pinching,
among others.

• Because of the mainstream acceptance of smart devices such as your


smartphone, tablet, or smartwatch, users learn to use these HMI’s easily.
Now multi-touch functionality is second nature to most people today.
• An HMI includes electronic components for indicating and regulating
robotic systems.

• Few HMIs also interpret data from industrial control systems into
human-decipherable visual depictions of the systems.

• An HMI gives the operator schematics of the systems and


functionality of switching pumps on or off.

• Or for example raise or lower temperatures etc. HMIs are usually


set up on Windows-based machines that communicate with
programmable logic controllers (PLC) and other industrial
controllers.
