HMI Computer

What is HMI? HMI, also known as the human-machine interface, is a user interface that allows a person to interact with a machine or system. Human-machine interface (HMI) solutions can vary in sophistication and cost, which depends on the amount of interaction and information exchange needed between a person and the machine. HMI is commonly used in industrial applications for...

In this modern day and age, technology is everywhere you look. It’s the smartphone buzzing in everyone’s pocket, the tablet that takes the place of books, and the laptop found in homes across the globe. Each of those devices shares one universal thing in common: a Human Machine Interface (HMI). In short, an HMI is a way for people to communicate with a machine. A keyboard or a multi-touch screen is a good example. The user inputs information, and the device or software registers the appropriate response. With the introduction of new programming languages, more and more developers are trying their hand at making their own PC-based Human Machine Interface. However, here are a few things to consider before embarking on this crafty enterprise. Continue reading →

A thin client (also called lean or slim client) is a stateless, fanless desktop terminal that does not contain a hard drive. When using a thin client, all the features that are typically found on the desktop PC such as applications, sensitive data, and memory are stored back into the data center or server. Thin clients, software services, and backend...

There are many unique benefits associated with using stainless steel in a wide variety of projects and applications. Stainless steel contains low carbon with high chromium content. It is an alloy of iron with a minimum of 10.5 percent chromium. The chromium is the main trait that gives its unique corrosion-resistant characteristic. Due to the chromium content from the steel...
