HMI Systems for Modern User Interfaces and Demanding Operating Environments

Input and display systems form the interface between humans and machines and are an essential component of our hardware technology toolbox. For the development of customized HMI solutions, we offer numerous proven hardware and software modules that enable the rapid and cost-effective implementation of modern user interface concepts.

Our portfolio includes LCD displays ranging from 2.7" to 21" in screen diagonal, based on the latest display technologies. Depending on the application, we use compact information displays, high-resolution control panels, or large-format visualization systems. For user input, we primarily rely on capacitive glass touch systems, which are characterized by high reliability, a premium appearance, and intuitive operation. Depending on the industry and operating environment, the touch systems can also be designed for operation while wearing gloves.

In addition, we integrate additional peripheral functions directly into the HMI system. These include, for example, RFID readers for user identification and authentication, as well as mechanical controls, enable buttons, or emergency stop switches that can be integrated directly into the glass front. This results in compact and ergonomic control solutions with a clear and uncluttered user interface.

A variety of materials and designs are available for the housing, such as die-cast aluminum housings, industrial plastic housings, continuous-cast profiles, or custom sheet-metal bent constructions. The result is custom-tailored HMI systems that optimally combine design, functionality, robustness, and ease of use, and can be seamlessly integrated into devices, machines, and systems.

By combining proven display and touch technologies with flexible housing concepts, we create tailor-made HMI solutions that integrate seamlessly into devices, machines, and systems. Our customers benefit from shorter development times, high investment security, and a user interface that is optimally tailored to their application—both technically and visually.
