HMI
HMI (Human-Machine Interface) is a user interface or dashboard that connects a person to a machine, system, or device, enabling operators to monitor and control industrial processes. It typically involves graphical displays, touchscreens, and input devices to visualize data, manage operations, and respond to alerts in real-time. HMIs are widely used in manufacturing, automation, and process control industries to improve efficiency and safety.
Developers should learn HMI when working on industrial automation, SCADA systems, or IoT applications that require user interaction with machinery or processes. It is essential for creating intuitive control panels in factories, power plants, and smart buildings, where real-time monitoring and manual intervention are critical for operational success and hazard prevention.
