[Article] HMI Centric Solution －Maximizing human empowerment is the shortcut to Smart Factories
Today’s industrial market is filled with services and products developed to realize “Industry 4.0” and "Smart Factories” at modern manufacturing sites. However, we recently hear comments like these. “We couldn’t gain any substantial effects despite major investments.” And, “Yes, we can now collect various device data. But, it takes too much manpower to integrate and use it.” And so on.
In response to such comments, we revised our HMIs from operation terminals to devices that can integrate device data and operation log data for use.

[Video] How can we bring humans at the core of the digital revolution while maintaining system robustness?
In the industry market of HMI, reliable products and robust offers are a must. Pro-face by Schneider is covering this requirement during the entire offer creation process. One of them being the testing, performed by the validation group. The Objective is to commercial an offer that conforms to the standards but adapted to the customer need and real condition. To be able to do that we put out focus on testing the product in the real environment.

[Article] Leading the way in HMI Design 4.0
Good screen design cannot be taken lightly. It is essentially vital because it has a direct and positive impact on operational efficiency. However, since the introduction of the HMI nearly 40 years ago, designing screens is a time-consuming process that requires specialized skills and expertise. Now, new screen design software is simplifying this process and dramatically reducing the time it takes to design effective screens. New layouts and templates are giving users newfound freedom and flexibility to create a better interface, faster.

[Article] Find inefficiency of lines through a user test. Resolve it smartly with a tablet.
Have you ever heard of “UX”? UX is short for User Experience and it means to experience and satisfaction users get when using products or services. The word is often used mainly for applications or Web services, but we think the policy of UX is important also in the field of hardware products.

[Article] Things to be prepared for introducing AI.
Haven’t you often heard of “AI=Artificial Intelligence” lately?
AI is no longer a term in SF movies only and is coming closer to our real world. AI played chess or go with a human and beat him. AI is applied in the self-driving technology of automobiles. Probably, you have already heard such news.
Why did Pro-face that is an HMI manufacturer pick up this term as a keyword for the Industry tech trend? It’s because we think this AI technology will become important even in an FA industry we engage in.

[Case Study] Start small, but realize "IoT" with Pro-face HMI =LT4000M=
Recently, “IoT” had been widely known. There’s not a single day when the term, “IoT” is not seen on a news. Preceded by that term only, customers have trouble imagining a specific effect of IoT and also they think its introduction cost is high. That’s why more customers may not be able to take the first step to adopt IoT.
