An HMI (human-machine interface) acts as a portal for information exchange between humans and machines. It collects and structures machine data, presenting the most important information visually so that humans can understand the systems and take appropriate actions. HMIs convert raw data into useful and actionable information for operators and supervisors to monitor and control industrial processes. They display process variables and status information through visual representations that provide operational understanding and enable optimization of production.

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.
