4. Purpose and learning objectives
• From smart phones to multi-touch HMI
• Benefits and possible issues of multi-touch panels
• How multi-touch panels will impact HMI platform
(SW/HW) providers, system integrators and end users
• Consideration factors for designing the right HMI
solution
– new application scenario
– operator experience
– new graphical user interface
– innovative panel platforms
• What HMI solutions will be available in the future?
12. Why Have Multi-Touch Interaction in
Industry?
Two handed operation for safety reasons during machine
calibration or service and maintenance
Production costs reduced by improved machine usability
Better machine serviceability
and maintenance support
Integration of quality
management and statistical
process control require multiple
user senarios
Flexibility in screen size
13. What are the Applications for
Multi-Touch HMI?
CNC and tooling machines
Textile, weaving and knitting machines
Imaging and signal analysis systems
Quality management system
SCADA clients in factory automation
14. Question: What Are the Benefits
and Possible Issues of
Widescreen Multi-Touch HMI?
