HMI's Insights

What is HMI's?

HMI stands for Human-Machine Interface. It is a user interface or dashboard that connects a person to a machine, system, or device. HMIs are used to visually represent data and allow users to interact with and control industrial processes, machines, and automation systems. They are commonly found in manufacturing plants, power plants, and other industrial settings, providing real-time monitoring and control capabilities.
