HMI Design & Development Services
It’s time to take control of your industrial systems and change how you interact with machines to get large chunks of work done, everyday.
Industrial operations require HMIs that provide real-time equipment monitoring and quick fault detection. Rockwell FactoryTalk integrates control systems, improving efficiency. Siemens WinCC provides a platform for process visualization and control for quick detection and resolution of issues.
For example, imagine you’re running a factory where machines need constant monitoring. With these systems, operators can see everything on one screen, instantly spot any glitches, and fix them before they become big issues. This means fewer delays and smoother operations.
Cloud-based HMIs are great for managing and controlling devices remotely. Kaa IoT Platform connects devices and helps gather data in the cloud. Google Cloud IoT Core makes sure all devices stay connected and secure. Together, these tools create a flexible and powerful cloud-based interface.
For example, in a factory with equipment across multiple locations, you can monitor the performance of all machines from your laptop or phone. Real-time updates help you quickly spot issues and take action, all from anywhere in the world.
We start by understanding your user needs, goals and flows – ensure your HMI gives users quick access to critical machine controls, simplifies navigation, guarantees 100% task success and provides real-time feedback. If the UX doesn’t meet business goals, like task success rate above 99%, response times less than 2 seconds and prevention of errors the design isn’t considered effective.
We create interactive prototypes with tools like Axure RP to test usability early. This helps catch any bottlenecks before development. We then use tools like Adobe XD to refine the design for a clear, consistent interface.
Imagine your team managing multiple things at once. We design interfaces that prioritizes controls and simplifies navigation–so your team focuses on the task to be done rather than figuring out the controls.
Standard interfaces can’t handle specialized workflows or industry-specific requirements. We develop custom HMI frameworks using Qt Quick for responsive, visually rich interfaces and Electron to maintain consistent functionality across devices.
Custom frameworks allow us to optimize your specific processes– real-time data visualization in manufacturing or touch-optimized controls for medical devices.
For example, in a hospital setting, we design an interface that integrates diagnostics, equipment controls, and monitoring into a single screen. This reduces the need for switching between systems–saves time, and ensures critical data is always accessible.
Advanced control systems help machines and processes work without disruptions. We use SCADA systems to gather real-time data from all your equipment, and PLC integration automates tasks to ensure precise control over operations and reduce manual intervention.
For instance, we connect every machine to a unified control system in a manufacturing plant. If one machine starts to malfunction, the system automatically redistributes the workload to other machines—preventing production delays and reducing the risk of system-wide failure.
Embedded systems need fast, lightweight interfaces that don’t slow things down. With Crank Software’s Storyboard, we build interactive HMIs that run effortlessly on embedded devices, while SEGGER emWin ensures smooth performance even on low-powered systems.
For example, in a vehicle’s dashboard system, these tools help display real-time updates like speed and fuel levels. They keep the interface smooth and reliable, making it easy for users to stay focused without lag or glitches.
HMI ecosystem that scales across devices and platforms requires the right tools. Kubernetes automates scaling and deployment of applications. It ensures consistent HMI performance across environments with less manual effort. Qt Framework provides a unified development platform for designing consistent interfaces for multiple platforms.
Imagine a manufacturing business upgrading its machinery to include HMIs on new equipment. The system scales effortlessly, syncing new devices with existing ones, and maintaining consistency in functionality and user experience without disrupting operations.
Middleware enables reliable communication, information flow and uniform functionality across all HMI systems. We use RabbitMQ to manage message queues for smooth data transfer between interfaces. Protobuf (Protocol Buffers) compresses and structures data for efficient HMI communication.
Think of an energy monitoring platform pulling data from different sensors. Middleware consolidates the data, processes it, and displays key metrics in a unified dashboard, helping teams act quickly and efficiently.
HMI Development Solutions: Powering Performance
No more frustrating delays or confusing interfaces. We focus on smooth user experience, to help you keep things running efficiently—powering up your operations, one interaction at a time.
Interactive Touchscreen Solutions
Unresponsive touchscreens slow down operations and frustrate users. We provide solutions that are reliable and designed for real-world challenges. Storyboard Suite creates responsive interfaces optimized for touch, while J1939 Protocol ensures your touchscreen integrates well with machine systems.
Think about a manufacturing floor where operators switch between controls quickly. A responsive touchscreen allows them to execute commands instantly, keeping workflows smooth and reducing downtime.
Multi-Modal HMI Systems
Sticking to one way of controlling machines doesn’t always work. We use systems and tools that let users interact however they prefer. Nuance Dragon adds voice control for smooth, hands-free commands, while GestureWorks enables gesture-based inputs for touchless operation.
For example, in a noisy factory, an operator can use gestures to adjust machine settings without touching a screen. Multi-modal systems make this possible, keeping processes smooth and minimizing disruptions.
IoT-Enabled HMI Systems
IoT-enabled HMI systems improve device efficiency. MQTT sends lightweight, encrypted messages for fast, secure device communication. AWS IoT Core manages connections, processes data, and scales devices for smooth operation.
For example, IoT-enabled HMIs can monitor machinery status in a smart factory setup and instantly send alerts if a component fails– your teams can react quickly and reduce downtime. This connectivity streamlines operations and boosts overall efficiency.
Real-Time Data Visualization Panels
Real-time data panels give you a clear, instant view of what's happening across your operations. Grafana helps create dashboards that update in real-time, and Tableau takes data from various sources to give you a full picture at a glance.
For example, in a logistics center, you can see live tracking of shipments, showing delays or issues. This means you can adjust things on the fly, making sure deliveries stay on schedule and improving overall efficiency.
Gesture Recognition HMI
Traditional interfaces feel slow compared to gesture control. Leap Motion tracks hand movements for precise, touch-free interaction. Microsoft Kinect adds depth sensing, enabling accurate gesture recognition for smoother control.
For instance, imagine an assembly line worker adjusting machine settings with a wave. This eliminates physical contact with control panels, making the process faster and safer, especially in environments where hygiene is critical.
AI-Powered Adaptive Interfaces
Adaptive interfaces improve usability by learning user behavior. TensorFlow Lite optimizes machine learning models for real-time adjustments. Scikit-learn analyzes patterns to predict and personalize user preferences. These tools create interfaces that adapt dynamically.
For instance, in a smart home system, the interface can adjust its options based on past behaviors, like pre-setting the temperature in a room just before you arrive. The system learns and adapts to individual habits, providing a more personalized experience each time.
Augmented Reality (AR) Integration
When users need real-world context in their digital tools, AR bridges the gap. Unity 3D creates immersive AR experiences. Vuforia enhances object recognition to overlay interactive data onto physical environments. This combination brings advanced visualization to complex workflows.
Consider a factory setting where technicians can visualize machine operations by pointing their devices at equipment. AR highlights real-time performance metrics, troubleshooting guides, or maintenance instructions directly on the screen, streamlining on-site problem-solving.
Safety-Critical HMI Design
When systems demand zero room for error, interfaces must ensure absolute reliability. Qt Safe Renderer ensures consistent visual outputs in safety-critical environments. Wind River VxWorks offers a real-time operating system for precise and timely responses.
For instance, in a medical device like a ventilator, the interface needs to display vital data without lag or misrepresentation. The design prevents user error by ensuring every alert or adjustment is accurately displayed and processed, safeguarding lives during critical operations.
Proactive Diagnostics Interfaces
Unplanned downtime due to system failures can be costly. MATLAB identifies patterns in data to predict failures. IoT Edge Analytics processes real-time data to deliver instant diagnostic feedback. These tools help prevent issues before they occur.
Consider a power grid monitoring system detecting irregular voltage patterns. It immediately alerts operators, suggests preventive measures, and prevents potential outages by taking proactive steps—all without manual intervention.
Integration with Edge Devices
Connecting edge devices without any interruption can be tough. EdgeX Foundry ensures smooth communication between your devices, even with varied hardware. MQTT Protocol allows lightweight messaging for real-time data exchange.
Picture a smart agriculture system monitoring soil conditions. Sensors send data to edge devices, which analyze it instantly, helping farmers adjust irrigation in real time without needing cloud connectivity.
