[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.

[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.
