HUMAN MACHINE INTERFACE: HMI platforms are evolving - The HMI device can help solve manufacturing problems

摘要

THE worldwide human machine interface (HMI) platform market continues to evolve to meet the needs of both discrete and process manufacturers and the OEMs that serve these markets. Rather than being just a standalone component, the HMI device is evolving into a platform that helps solve manufacturing problems to improve business performance. Furthermore, users are turning to open systems and commercial-off-the-shelf technologies to meet their increasing demands for high performance, ease of use, and lower total cost of ownership.
