HMI - A key technology for implementing smart manufacturing
Human-Machine Interface (HMI) is a key technology for implementing smart manufacturing, which primarily focuses on the issues of communication, interaction and cooperation between human and machines
The purpose of the HMI is to display easily-understandable, real-time operational information. HMIs bring you into the process so you can control and optimise it by regulating production and process targets. The HMI also helps improving the process by providing historical and trending data on machine efficiency or product quality.
TXT, thanks to its different team, is able to combine technical expertise with creative and digital skills in order to develop HMI capable of being both functional and engaging, making the user experience highly satisfying, engaging and immersive.
Advanced HMI
Recent developments in relation to wearable devices and in new human/machine interfaces for the acquisition and/or conveyance of information in voice, visual and tactile formats have made it possible to achieve surprising results. Advanced HMI includes well-established systems, such as touch displays or 3D Scanners for gesture acquisition, and more innovative and bidirectional solutions, such as augmented reality or Mixed Reality visors to support operational activities and operator training.
Thanks to the group's long experience in the creation of Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality and Mixed Reality applications, as well as its in-depth knowledge of new technologies and trends, TXT is the digital enabler capable of supporting all customers in developing innovative and cutting-edge solutions
Digital Twin
HMI has been widely studied in product lifecycle including product design, manufacturing, and service, but the efficiency and safety sometimes cannot meet the new requirements for smart manufacturing at all. Digital twin (DT) is the new technology able to realize cyber-physical integration, providing a new chance to address the above problems. Using a five-dimension DT model driven by real-time data, HMI will generate a more flexible interactive mode to improve machine efficiency and operation safety. Thanks to the digital twin it becomes possible to:
- predict / prevent future behaviors,
- measure the performance of the prototype with respect to a change of variables,
- take immediate action in case of any bugs or optimize performance.
- Prevent critical errors due to bad design of technical system, inadequate or failed process (situation awareness), improper training
