Introduction

Human Machine Interfaces, or HMIs, are exactly what they sound like. They typically consist of dedicated PC hardware with a touch screen that is used to allow operators to better interact with the process of an automated machine. The screens can range in size from 4” to 20” (diagonally) and come with a variety of different touch technologies. Sometimes called operator interfaces or operator panels, these devices were developed to replace traditional buttons,switches and lamps that were at one time more prevalent.

So why use an HMI instead of a button or switch? HMIs offer the user both a better experience interfacing with the machine as well as more information and feedback on the status of the machine and/or process. It also allows for quick and easy changes to be made to the system to adapt to changing processes. HMIs are more user-friendly, and can help you reduce the risk of operator error in your process as well as the risk of downtime. This is because the feedback provided on the screen can give the operator insight that may help prevent equipment failure.
