Driven by intelligent manufacturing, the development of the manufacturing industry places more emphasis on human-machine integration and interaction and coordination, and benefits from the needs of all walks of life for efficient production, data security, remote services, etc., and human-machine interface (HMI) has been widely used.
At present, the traditional manufacturing industry is undergoing digital transformation, with the integration and development of emerging technologies such as the Internet of Things, big data, artificial intelligence, etc., the interaction between people and technology is also facing new changes, the role of human-computer interface is becoming more and more complex, and the development of human-computer interaction technology will also develop in a more humanized and intelligent direction.
As a pioneer in the HMI industry, Pro-face continues to open a new page on the road of promoting human-computer interaction optimization, and further exerts its leading role in the field of human-computer interaction at home and abroad. From September 15th to 19th, during the 2020 China International Industry Fair, Pro-face unveiled new products at the exhibition to explain the future development trend of HMI.
Human interaction is the window and medium of communication between humans and machines, through human interaction, users can get information and operate it in the way they want on any device and network, HMI plays an important role in human-computer interaction. Ever since 1989, when Pro-face introduced the world's first programmable human-machine interface, it has been working hard to develop new products that can be connected to a variety of industrial devices and adapted to different production sites.
This year is another milestone year for the Pro-face and HMI industries. Fang Dingzhou, General Manager of Plofix International Trade (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., said that since Pro-face conforms to the concept of "HMICentric", it has launched a new generation of HMI products ST6000 series, IPC industrial computer PS6000 series and corresponding software, software and hardware, which further meet the new needs of customers. The ST6000 series brings a new level of vision to the basic HMI market, achieving excellent display quality and improved operational capabilities, which is unmatched by other basic products.
The human-machine interface central architecture solution is the theme and focus of this year's industry fair, which makes full use of digital technology to improve work efficiency, and at the same time introduces a variety of HMI solutions, including easy integration of OT/IT, scalability and customization, support for open cooperation of HMI systems, simple and easy to see visual operations, and provide a series of solutions such as global professional services, which are all based on the latest advanced technology to empower customer production.
Novel ideas and continuous R&D have enabled Pro-face's products to be continuously upgraded and gain a good market share. But as a mature market, the competitive model of HMI is obvious. In addition, stimulated by the new infrastructure construction boom, the development opportunities and challenges of the automation industry are also emerging. Pro-face seized the market opportunity and launched corresponding solutions and products in the fields of FPD LCD TV, semiconductor, automotive lithium battery, rail transit and electronic products, and achieved great success.
As a pioneer in the global HMI industry, Pro-face has a very high market share in Asia, the Americas and Europe, and since entering the Chinese market in 2001, the brand has achieved remarkable results in the field of domestic industrial control, won a good reputation, and has now become one of the leading brands in the industry.
The company is committed to providing customers with advanced human-computer interaction interface, to provide better services for our customers, the company has also set up a factory in Wuxi City, Jiangsu Province, and set up a R & D and maintenance center, so that Pro-face products have a rapid maintenance mechanism in China.
Especially during the outbreak of the epidemic this year, Pro-face relied on Schneider Electric Group's efficient supply chain management system to provide customers with fast and sufficient supply services to ensure customer delivery requirements. In addition, the company's R&D team, including HMICenter in Osaka in Japan and IOCC in Shanghai, both companies work closely together to quickly respond to customer needs in terms of technology and functionality.
