Industry Information
HMI Systems
HMI systems, also known as Human Machine Interfaces, are
devices that facilitate interactions between machines and humans. The HMI system will transmit information
simultaneously while providing feedback for the operator. HMI systems are utilized
in ever expanding applications from
power plant controls to the touch screen of a cell phone. Typically these
devices will have two primary components to function. The first component is
some form of input. The operator need a way to input instructions to the device
and this is done through switches, touch screens, toggles, keypads and more.
The second important factor to a successful HMI system is
output. The machine has to inform the human that the commands were received and
then information is displayed or a function is performed. Output could even be
as simple as a status light blinking to indicate that it received commands.
Ergonomics and psychology have big influences on the HMI system industry as one
of the main goals is to provide an easy, efficient and user friendly design for
operating a machine.
