Selmo in Use

HMI stands for Human-Machine Interface and refers to the interface between a human operator and a machine, system or process. The HMI can be a graphical user interface that allows the operator to monitor data, change settings or perform actions.

At Selmo, HMI development is done in an efficient and automated way. Selmo has developed an advanced system that enables the generation of the HMI directly from the process model. Traditionally, creating an HMI, the user interface between man and machine, required a time-consuming process. Developers had to manually design and program graphics, controls, and interactions. This was not only labor-intensive but also error-prone and often showed a mismatch between the process model and the actual HMI.

Selmo recognized this problem and developed an innovative solution to streamline the HMI development process. By linking the process model to the HMI generation, the HMI elements are automatically generated from the process model data. The process model serves as the basic structure for the HMI. It contains information about the flow of the process, the different states and the relevant parameters. Based on this information, Selmo's system automatically generates the corresponding user interfaces. The advantages of this automated HMI generation are many.

First, it saves developers a significant amount of time and effort. Instead of creating each graphical component manually, they can focus on creating the process model while the HMI is generated automatically.

Second, automated generation improves the consistency and accuracy of the HMI. Because it is derived directly from the process model, the HMI is always up to date and accurately reflects the actual process. This avoids potential errors and inconsistencies that could occur with manual development.

In addition, automated HMI generation enables better collaboration between different team members. Developers, engineers and operators can work together on the process model and make changes that are automatically updated in the generated HMI.

The Selmo approach to automated HMI generation has the potential to significantly improve the efficiency and quality of HMI development in industrial automation. By integrating the process model and HMI, development is accelerated, errors are reduced and collaboration is facilitated.

Selmo is thus a pioneer in the industry and is driving progress in human-machine interface technology.
