HMI visualization

One HMI visualization (Human Machine Interface Visualization) refers to the graphical representation and user interface through which people interact with machines, systems or technical systems.

Explanation

• HMI (Human Machine Interface): This refers to the interface between man and machine - the "control panel" via which a user enters commands and receives information from the system.
• Visualization: This is the representation of processes, states and data in a graphical, easy-to-understand form (e.g. diagrams, symbols, animations, real-time data).

Functions of an HMI visualization

• Monitoring: The current status of a system or machine is displayed in real time (e.g. temperatures, pressures, fill levels, production quantities).
• Operation: The user can make entries, start and stop processes or change parameters via the interface.
• Alarm and fault messages: Errors, limit value violations or failures are made visible immediately.
• Analysis: Trends and historical data can be displayed to support optimization or maintenance decisions.

Areas of application

HMI visualizations are used in many industries, especially in the Automation technology, manufacturing industry, energy supply, building technology and medical technology. Typical examples are

• Touch panels on production machines
• Control stations in factories or power plants
• Mobile apps for remote monitoring of systems

In short: HMI visualization makes complex technical processes easier to understand. understandable, controllable and transparent for humans.
