![]() However you are free to use other hardware that runs Windows. ![]() We offer hardware, such as industrial panel PCs, that has been optimized for AdvancedHMI that gives a plug-and-play solution. The result is an open HMI solution that is price competitive with proprietary hardware solutions. The AdvancedHMI solution breaks the cost barrier for PC/Windows based solutions by letting you use the software at absolutely no cost or restrictions. Historically PC/Windows based HMI solutions were more expensive than proprietary platforms because of the cost of hardware in addition to the software. No more concerns for a license invalidation causing down time nor the need to replace failed hardware with the same proprietary hardware. To meet those goals, we provide software without restrictions. With AdvancedHMI we believe priority should be flexibility, serviceability, and up time. The software is free to use and distribute therefore making a more reliable and serviceable solution. AdvancedHMI eliminates this weakness by not requiring a key or dongle. The ability to choose your hardware is a big step in helping improve a machine's up time by not requiring an exact vendor specific replacement, but the software key is still a potential point of failure. Typically a software vendor of this type of HMI software will require a key or dongle to ensure you have paid for the software. This gives the advantage of allowing the designer to choose the hardware of their preference. The latter type gives more options of hardware that can be used. The second is software that runs on a more common operating system such as Windows. ![]() The first is one that runs on proprietary hardware. Software HMIs can typically be broken into 2 categories. ![]() Human machine interface (HMI) software gives an operator interface to the controller of a machine, such as a PLC. ![]()
