Human Machine Interface

Nowadays humans interact more with computer-based technology than with hammers and drills. Unlike tools, the visible shape and controls of a computer do not communicate its purpose. The task of human machine interface (HMI) is to make the function of a technology self-evident. Much like a well-designed hammer fits the user's hand and makes a physical task easy; a well-designed HMI must fit the user's mental map of the task he or she wishes to carry out.

HMI software can be effectively utilized in industrial automation, process control and supervisory monitoring. The software is in worldwide use in a variety of industries including food processing, oil and gas, automotive, chemical, pharmaceutical, pulp and paper, transportation and power utilities.

The addition of this software enables customers to extend and improve the value of their automation, information and human assets by unifying multiple vendor offerings and systems. Current and emerging systems can be linked in an orchestrated plant-level application model, maximizing total return on investments.

HMI can play an important role in improving plant-floor productivity because it enables customers to visualize plant-centric, operator-centric manufacturing information and share it within and between plants enhanced communication diagnostics and performance

As a result, the unifying principle of design techniques that deliver usable products is that each recognizes the need to keep users at the center of the process
