What is HMI?
Today, knowing what an HMI “Human Machine Interface”, or an “operator panel”, is essential for anyone who is even remotely interested in automation. HMI is already being used with several names such as touch panel or operator panel, from the industrial sectors to domestic applications and even elevators. HMI, also known as the Human Machine Interface, consists of a combination of devices and software that allows the user to communicate and manage machinery and production facilities.
Where is HMI Used?
HMI technology is used by almost all industrial organizations and a large number of companies, to interact with machines and optimize industrial processes. Industries where HMI is used are diversified, with examples such as energy, food and beverage, manufacturing, oil, gas, power distribution, recycling, transportation etc. Just as you can control the temperature in your home and see the interaction with your air conditioning system through a screen, a plant operator can use an HMI panel to control the temperature of an industrial fuel tank or check the flow rate status of the fuel flow.
DWIN Focuses on Human-Computer Interaction Solutions
DWIN, a Chinese company of which Ozdisan Elektronik has become a new distributor, was founded in 2003 in Beijing Zhongguancun, known as “China’s Silicon Valley.” DWIN, which also has representative offices in other countries and regions such as China, Poland, Brazil, the United States, offers a global support network. DWIN focuses on human-computer interaction solutions and mainly focuses on CPU design in the research and development of intelligent display applications, also taking into account the integration of whole industry chain technology. In 2017, DWIN officially launched the T5, the first human-computer interaction microchip with independent intellectual property rights. In 2019, the mass production of T5L1 and T5L2 microchips started. In 2020, DWIN’s low-cost T5L0 and multimedia version microchip T5L3 were launched, while the next generation T5G and M3 microchips were launched in 2021. T5G microchips is a microchip dedicated to artificial intelligence (AI) 4-core human-computer interaction, supporting 4K multimedia processing. The overall objective of M3 is to offer cost-effective localized solutions for customers who need high-performance analog signal processing. Also, DWIN has successfully launched its cloud development platform and introduced its innovative and efficient IoT solutions. In this way, it offers better remote control and data management opportunities to its users.
