With the advancement of intelligent manufacturing, the development of the manufacturing industry places more emphasis on human-machine integration and interaction and coordination, benefiting 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 a digital transformation, under the integration and development of emerging technologies such as the Internet of Things, big data, artificial intelligence, etc., the way of interaction between people and technology is also facing new changes, the role of human-machine interface is becoming increasingly complex, and the development of HMI will inevitably move towards a more humanized and intelligent direction.

As a pioneer in the HMI industry, Pro-face continues to open a new chapter 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, interpreting the future development trend of HMI.

Smarter HMI Centric

HMI is the window and medium for communication between humans and machines, and through HMI, users can access information and perform actions in the way they want on any device and network, and HMI can be said to play an important role in human-computer interaction. Since 1989, when Pro-face released the world's first programmable human-machine interface, it has been working on the development of new products that can connect various industrial devices and respond to different production sites.

"This year is another milestone year for the Pro-face and HMI industries." Fang Dingzhou, general manager of Pro-Face International Trade (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., said that because Pro-face has launched a new generation of HMI products ST6000 series, IPC industrial computer PS6000 series and corresponding supporting software, the software and hardware have reached a new level to further meet the new needs of customers. The ST6000 series brings a new level of visibility to the basic HMI market, delivering superior display quality and improved operability that is unmatched by other basic products.

"HMI Centric" is the central architecture solution of the human machine interface, which is the theme and focus of the Pro-face exhibition of this industry fair, which makes full use of digital technology to improve work efficiency, and launches a variety of HMI solutions, including easy integration of OT/IT, scalable and customizable, support open collaboration HMI system, simple and easy to see visual operation, with robust and reliable performance, and provide a series of solutions such as global professional services. These solutions are based on the latest advanced technology to empower customers' production.

"In order to meet the needs of the digital market, Pro-face has launched the ST6000 and SP5000 series, both of which include independent dual Ethernet ports and BOS software, which meets the needs of OEMs for digital transformation. In the future, we will continue to provide more corresponding solutions to help customers promote the digitalization process. Mr. Fang added.

More personalized product customization

The innovative concept and continuous research and development pace have enabled Pro-face's products to continue to innovate and achieve good market share. However, HMI is a mature market, and its competitive landscape is obvious. In addition, stimulated by the new infrastructure boom, the automation industry has also ushered in various development opportunities and challenges. Pro-face seized the market opportunity to take the lead in industry planning and layout, and launched corresponding solutions and products in the FPD liquid crystal, semiconductor, automotive lithium battery, rail transit and electronics industries, and achieved great success.

Along with the opportunities are the challenges of high-end, personalization, and complexity in the automation industry. Mr. Fang said that in addition to providing standard products, Pro-face has also launched industry-customized solutions and products for special applications, such as back-mounted models, customized panel films, etc., so that customers can easily integrate HMI into the whole set of equipment, thereby helping customers reduce the man-hours of building equipment. Pro-face has many years of rich experience in HMI customization, and through these targeted and perfect solutions, it can help users easily improve the overall production and operation efficiency, and will continue to launch solutions for other industries with the development of the market in the future.
