Market Intelligence Report: Operator Interface/HMIs

Human-machine interfaces (HMIs) are increasing in number, variety, resolution, sophistication and related computing power, and so are becoming all-pervasive in most process applications. To help make sense of this rapidly changing market, Jim Montague, Control's executive editor, presents the results of Control's latest Market Intelligence Report on HMIs. Respondents reported on how they use HMIs to interact with their plants’ control systems, the age of their existing HMIs, their visual presentation preferences and on how well their HMIs handle alarms.
