Food & Beverage Manufacturing HMI | COPA-DATA

Controlling all of the different components within an industrial factory can be a hefty task, but human-machine interfaces (HMIs) make it much easier and more efficient. An HMI can come in many different forms, but at its core, the term refers to a dashboard that helps a user communicate with a system, such as machinery and computer programs, in an industrial application. For food and beverage facilities, a powerful HMI can mean significant gains across many aspects of your operation.

What food and beverage manufacturers should consider when choosing an HMI solution

If you're considering an HMI solution, you'll first want to think about the needs of your organization:

  • Features: HMIs can connect to a wide range of equipment and include many useful features, like data analysis, alert systems and remote control.
  • Integration: Of course, your HMI must be able to communicate with your machinery. It should have sufficient communication protocols and work with a wide range of systems. This consideration is vital if you want to future-proof your setup.
