About Human Machine Interface Software (HMI)
Human machine interface (HMI) software enables operators to manage industrial and process control machinery via a computer-based graphical user interface (GUI). The computer on which HMI software is installed is called a human machine interface or HMI. There are two basic types of HMI: supervisory level and machine level. Supervisory level HMI is designed for control room environments and used for system control and data acquisition (SCADA), a process control application which collects data from sensors on the shop floor and sends the information to a central computer for processing. Machine level HMI uses embedded, machine-level devices within the production facility itself. Most human machine interface (HMI) software is designed for either supervisory level HMI or machine level HMI; however, applications that are suitable for both types of HMI are also available. These software applications are more expensive, but can eliminate redundancies and reduce long-term costs.
